Posttraumatic hematoma of the masseter muscle mimicking a parotid abscess
We report the case of a 3 year old healthy girl presenting with a super-infected hematoma of the masseter muscle after a blunt trauma. Diagnosing this unusual cause required CT scan and treatment consisted of surgical drainage with successful recovery. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra)

Bacteroides bacteremia complicating otogenic Lemierre's syndrome
We describe a case of a 9 year boy with chronic suppurative otitis media leading to mastoiditis, cranial venous sinus and jugular vein thrombophlebitis, and Bacteroides bacteremia. Both the pathogen and the extent of venous involvement were unusual in this case. Otogenic Lemierre's syndrome is a serious infection associated with significant morbidity which should be considered in any child with otogenic findings and septic thrombophlebitis.

An unusual respiratory tract foreign body: A case report of pediatric broncholithiasis
Tracheobronchial foreign body aspiration is one of the most life-threatening diseases in children. Its symptom is non-specific sometimes; therefore the distinction with some similar clinical presentation pulmonary disease should be performed. Here, we reported a 5-year-old girl who was misdiagnosed with foreign body aspiration twice based on the broncho-obstructive symptom and radiologic finding. Finally, the diagnosis of broncholithiasis was confirmed by finding broncholiths in the respiratory tract through bronchoscopy. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra)

A case report and treatment recommendations for bilateral piriform sinus fistulae
We present a case of an infected left-sided intrathyroidal branchial cleft cyst with concomitant asymptomatic right-sided piriform fistula, successfully treated with surgical excision of left-sided cyst including thyroid lobectomy and right-sided chemical cauterization with 18 months follow-up.

Aberrant carotid artery injury during myringotomy
Myringotomy is a commonly performed procedure amongst otolaryngologists. Hemorrhage during myringotomy, albeit rare, can be devastating. Because bleeding during myringotomy is typically minimal if at all, otolaryngologists must be suspicious of a vascular injury if hemorrhage during myringotomy is encountered. Knowledge of vascular anatomy and potential variations is critical for prompt recognition of injury and timely management if injury should occur. Appropriate treatment includes initial control of bleeding followed by imaging to evaluate for vascular anomaly and/or injury. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric O...

Ewing ’s sarcoma of the jaws: An institutional study of four cases
Ewing ’s sarcoma (ES) is a rare malignant small round cell tumour that primarily affects the skeletal system. It accounts for less than 4–10% of all types of bone malignancies, with long bones and pelvis being involved most commonly. Clinically, ES can mimic odontogenic inflammation/abscess. Integrati on of clinical, radiographic, histologic and immunohistochemical information is essential for prompt diagnosis. Aggressive multimodal therapy and continuous follow up results in better prognosis of patient diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra)

Unilateral neck swelling: A rare case of right internal jugular vein fenestration
Venous anomalies are rare entities in head and neck region. Duplication and fenestration, although rare, are the most commonly seen IJV anomalies. Duplicate IJV bifurcates and drains separately into SCV and reunites as a single channel and drain into SCV in case of fenestration. Duplication or fenestration are rarely symptomatic and usually an incidental finding. We are reporting a rare such case of right IJV fenestration presenting as a diagnostic dilemma of unilateral intermittent neck swelling.

Dorsal midline tongue masses in children
We present a series of cases where children presented with a mass at the foramen caecum on the dorsum of the tongue in the midline. In each case, the diagnosis was different. Regardless of the child's presentation, we believe detailed imaging to be essential for appropriate diagnosis and management. If the lesion is symptomatic or there is diagnostic uncertainty then excision for histopathology should be undertaken without delay.
