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.

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 4 to 10% of all types of bone malignancies, with long bones and pelvis being involved most commonly. Clinically, ES can mimic odontogenic inflammation / abscess. Integration of clinical, radiographic, histologic and immunohistochemical information is essential for prompt diagnosis. Aggressive multimodal therapy & continuous follow up results in better prognosis of patient diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra)

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.

An unusual presentation of bacterial infection in a newborn: Otitis externa
We report a case of acute otitis externa in a 29-day-old, term, otherwise healthy neonate. Swab cultures revealed growth of methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus colonies. She was successfully treated with parenteral cloxacillin and had no complication and recurrence. No cases of neonatal acute otitis externa have been previously reported.

Chronic stridor in a nine-month-old —Consider esophageal foreign body
We present the case of a 9-month-old female with seven weeks of stridor.Initial lateral neck radiograph showed widening of the retropharyngeal space with significant mass effect displacing the cervical and thoracic trachea. She was taken emergently by ENT to the operating room for intubation. In the OR, flexible fiberoptic nasotracheal intubation was achieved. Through multimodality imaging and several procedures, she was found to have ingested part of a Christmas ornament, which lodged in the esophagus, causing a perforation with retropharyngeal phlegmon.

Cellullar neurothekeoma of the larynx in a child: case report and literature review
The present article is a case report of a cellular neurothekeoma (CN) compromising laryngeal structures and resulting in subglottic obstruction.A six-year-old female patient presented to the emergency department with stridor, dyspnea and hoarseness. The awake flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy revealed a subglottic lesion with a partial airway obstruction. The lesion was endoscopically excised. Histological and imunohistochemical analysis were compatible with CN. Patient remained asymptomatic, after 2 years of follow up. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra)

Burkitt Lymphoma Presenting As Facial Nerve Paresis
Acute onset unilateral facial palsy can be seen in children with otitis media. However, when symptoms fail to improve with antibiotics a broader differential should be considered. Here we present two cases of patients who were initially treated for otitis media, but developed facial paresis and were subsequently diagnosed with Burkitt Lymphoma involving the temporal bone. In both instances facial nerve function improved with chemotherapy initiation. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra)

Myoepithelial carcinoma of the hypopharynx
We present an unusual case arising in a 1-year-old boy. He underwent microsuspension direct laryngoscopy with organ preservation. The tumor cells were arranged in nests and lobules separated by thin fibrovascular septae in a background of fibromyxoid stroma. Immunohistochemically, the tumor was positive for S-100 protein, AE1/AE3, and synaptophysin. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra)
