Lipoma in unusual head and neck region: Case series of 4 patients
Abstract: Lipomas are fairly common in head and neck but their presentation in areas like parapharyngeal space, submandibular space and lateral cervical region are rarely seen. These are mainly asymptomatic and mostly cause aesthetic concerns. Surgical excision remains the mainstay of treatment and surgical approach depends on the site and extent of the lesion. Radiological investigations like CECT and MRI play a vital role in diagnosis and management of these lesions. Here we describe a case series of 4 patients with lipomas in unusual regions of the head and neck, and their management. (Source: International Journal of P...

Suppurative submandibular sialadenitis in a term neonate: Is there any alternative to incision and drainage?
We report a full term newborn that developed suppurative submandibular sialadenitis without any risk factors. The patient was managed successfully using intravenous antibiotics and alternative gentle manual compression of swelling that leads to drainage of abscess by Wharton's duct. The etiology, diagnosis, and management options of this condition are discussed. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra)

Misdiagnosed as infantile hemangioma: Early presentation of small vessel-rich AVM
Abstract: Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are typically present at birth but may not become clinically significant till later in life. The rarity of AVMs leads to misdiagnosis, as they can be confused in young patients with infantile hemangioma (IH). Small vessel-rich AVM can be radiologically consistent with an IH, while the clinical presentation is that of a slowly growing vascular anomaly. These cases highlight the clinical dilemma that while a vascular anomaly may appear by imaging studies to be the common and generally innocuous IH, an atypical growth pattern should raise clinical suspicion for an AVM.

The Lowinger probe to remove a spherical foreign body at the cricopharyngeus
Abstract: Foreign body ingestion is a common occurrence, especially in toddlers. Spherical foreign bodies are particularly challenging to retrieve, as they offer no edges or surfaces on which to gain purchase. The case of a 2-year-old girl who ingested a large glass garden pebble is presented, and its removal using Lowinger probe outlined. The Lowinger probe is a useful aid in the removal of ingested spherical foreign bodies. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra)

Dehiscence of intrapetrous segment of the internal carotid artery in a dermoid cyst of the eustachian tube
We report the case of a two-year-old girl diagnosed with a left ear dermoid cyst of the Eustachian tube. The carotid canal was dehiscent in the middle ear space. Careful interpretation of the preoperative imaging studies was important in order to prevent serious operative complications. A review of the literature concerning dermoid cysts of the Eustachian tube is also discussed. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra)

Supernumerary nostril together with patent ductus arteriosus, central incisor fusion and severe sensorineural deafness
Summary: Supernumerary nostril is an extremely rare congenital anomaly of duplication. It can be unilateral or bilateral, and it sometimes occurs in the presence of other congenital deformities. The supernumerary nostril in association with patent ductus arteriosus is even rarer, with only two cases reported so far. We are reporting a case of supernumerary nostril in association with patent ductus arteriosus, central incisor fusion and severe sensorineural deafness, which happens to be the first case of its kind to be reported.

A case of compound nevus of the external auditory canal in a child
Abstract: Compound nevus is one of the subtypes of melanocytic nevus. The occurrence of melanocytic nevus within the external auditory canal (EAC) is very uncommon. In the cases of melanocytic nevus of the EAC, intradermal nevus occurs most frequently between the fifth and seventh decades of life. Compound nevus of the EAC in preschool-aged child is extremely rare. In a 6 year old girl, a 4mm size, dome shaped and pigmented mass arose from the inferior wall of the cartilaginous portion of the EAC. This mass was treated with excision and a defatting full thickness skin graft by the transmeatal approach. Histopathology confi...
