A case of bilateral enlarged vestibular aqueducts and unilateral hearing loss at birth
Screening of newborn hearing is nowadays widespread, and as many as 3.4% of all screened infants are found to have unilateral hearing loss. However, we, as clinicians and parents, usually dismiss the severity of unilateral hearing loss in pediatric patients. Recently, we experienced the case of unilateral hearing loss since birth in a 2-year-old girl who was finally found to have bilateral enlarged vestibular aqueducts when the disorder progressed to bilateral hearing loss. Proper evaluation of the cause of hearing loss, including imaging studies of the inner ear, and consecutive hearing evaluations should be mandatory in ...

Subglottic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma presenting as biphasic stridor
We report a case of a young child with acute onset biphasic stridor who was found to have a large subglottic lesion causing significant airway obstruction. We were able to successfully resect it to achieve a pathologic diagnosis and address the subglottic stenosis with an anterior laryngofissure followed by laryngotracheal reconstruction (LTR) using a rib graft. The final pathology was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, anaplastic variant, and patient had complete response to chemotherapy and is currently free of disease.

Pediatric palate schwannoma
We present a case of a pediatric patient with a schwannoma of the palate. An 11-year-old girl presented with a one-year history of a slowly enlarging right palate mass, which was otherwise asymptomatic. An MRI showed a well-marginated legion with prominent enhancement and possible calcifications. She underwent a wide local excision, and pathologic analysis characterized the lesion as a schwannoma. The defect was reconstructed using a pre-fashioned obturator and allowed to heal by secondary intention. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra)

Nasal fracture repair with occult pharyngeal thrombus, LMA anesthesia, and deep awakening: A risk for pulmonary aspiration and respiratory distress
Closed reduction of a nasal fracture is a common and well established procedure in the pediatric literature. The Laryngeal mask airway is being used more frequently in recent years because it has been proven safe for select procedures. The goal of this article is to present a complication of using laryngeal mask airway for closed reduction nasal fractures and to examine the safety to prevent similar episodes.

Pseudocyst of the auricle in a very young child
Pseudocyst of the auricle (AP) is a rare, benign, cystic lesion that often arises asymptomatically along the anterior auricle typically in adolescent and adult Asian males with no history of antecedent trauma. This is a case report of a 19-month-old male who spontaneously developed AP. Treatment consisted of pressure bolstering of both auricles after excisional biopsy of right AP and aspiration with steroid injection of the left lesion. Follow-up at three months revealed resolution of all lesions and no auricular deformity. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra)

Large pediatric sphenoid sinus cholesterol granuloma: Case report and review of the literature
Cholesterol granulomas are rare lesions in the paranasal sinuses, especially in children. Symptoms are nonspecific depending on the localization and extent of the mass. In a 6-year-old boy who presented with a headache and proptosis, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a large expansile mass in the nasal cavity. The patient was started on intravenous antibiotics with no improvement. Following endoscopic biopsy, the mass was removed. Pathological findings were consistent with a cholesterol granuloma.

Bilateral congenital nasolacrimal duct cysts mimicking bilateral choanal atresia
Congenital nasolacrimal duct cyst (CNLDC) is a rare neonatal condition that can be life threatening when it occurs bilaterally. Herein we report a neonate with bilateral CNLDC that caused respiratory distress and was treated successfully with surgery. Post surgery, the patient was discharged from hospital without any complications. The case details, differential diagnosis, and management of CNLDC are discussed, along with a review of the relevant literature. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra)

Nasopharyngeal foreign bodies: Need for awareness to avoid digital manipulation in an oral foreign body
Foreign bodies in the nasopharyngeal area are rare. Cases of two infants while playing with siblings accidently put hair clip in the mouth which got pushed in the nasopharynx by digital manipulation by their mother are being presented. Diagnosis of both the patients was confirmed by radiological examination. Fortunately both the foreign bodies were retrieved without any complication. With the experience of two such cases we strongly recommend the need for awareness regarding avoidance of manipulation by parents/guardians of the oral/pharyngeal foreign bodies.

Supraglottic hemangioma in an infant
We present a 40 days-old infant with a hemangioma involving the epiglottis and the left aryepiglottic fold and type II laryngomalacia, which was diagnosed during evaluation for feeding difficulties. Diagnosis was based on clinical symptoms and the appearance of the lesion. It was supported by the co-existence of skin, liver and left parotid hemangiomas, and the good response to propranolol therapy. In literature review, we found that the presence of hemangiomas in the supraglottis is rarely described. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra)
