Oral synechiae: A case presentation of airway and surgical management
Oral synechiae is a rare craniofacial condition only described by case reports in the literature. This case report features a one day-old female twin who was transferred to our hospital for airway management in the setting of an unspecified intraoral anomaly. The patient was taken emergently to the operating room where awake nasal intubation was performed. Closer oral inspection revealed an oral synechia that was released superiorly with cautery. This case highlights a unique patient with an oral synechia who required prompt airway and surgical management. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra)

Lingual Foregut duplication cysts in the Neonate: potential role for marsupialization as initial management.
We describe a case of a neonate born with a ventral tongue FDC which prevented mouth closure and precluded oral intake. Due to excessive potential for morbidity with surgical excision, the cyst was managed primarily by surgical marsupialization. We review the literature, and suggest that marsupialization may be a desirable temporizing measure for oral cavity cysts, offering an initial alternative to complete excision in the neonatal period.

Extra-luminal Sigmoid Sinus Granulation Tissue Resulting in Otitic Hydrocephalus
A four-year-old male presented to the emergency department with bilateral cranial nerve VI palsy following a failed outpatient course of antibiotics for acute mastoiditis. Imaging revealed a right sigmoid sinus flow defect. Urgent mastoidectomy with removal of the right sigmoid sinus osseous plate was performed. Intraoperatively, extensive granulation tissue was encountered compressing the sinus. The cranial nerve deficit resolved overnight, and follow-up imaging revealed restoration of venous outflow.

Thymic choristoma of the middle ear presenting as a red, tympanic mass
Thymic choristoma is a very rare disease that can arise along the anatomical route through which the thymus, during development, migrates towards the upper mediastinum. Most thymic choristomas are easily mistaken for lymphadenitis or a lymph hemangioma prior to surgery and are very difficult to diagnose clinically.[1] Thymic choristoma arising in the middle ear is a very rare case which has yet to be reported. We have recently experienced a case wherein a thymic choristoma was discovered in the middle ear of a 4-year-old boy, and we report this case and review the literature below.

Facial nerve palsy, parotid mass and Epstein–Barr virus
We report the case of a seven year old girl with 22q11 deletion mosaicism who presented with a sudden onset rapidly enlarging left parotid mass and ipsilateral facial nerve paresis.MRI and cytology were inconclusive. She underwent partial superficial parotidectomy to obtain definitive histopathology, which was reported as suggestive of acute Epstein Barr infection. A subsequent quantitative Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) PCR clinched the diagnosis four weeks after her initial presentation. She was stared on oral Valgancyclovir and her facial nerve showed recovery.

Frontal mucocele in the developing sinus
We report the first pediatric case of mucocele formation in a developing frontal sinus with no known associated lesions. A 10-year-old girl presented with a 12-month history of left frontal pain with no response to nasal steroid and antibiotics. CT-imaging revealed a left frontal mucocele enclosed by bone covering the sinus ostium, despite no prior history of trauma or surgery. The patient underwent image guided endoscopic sinus surgery with successful relief of symptoms. The rarity and non-specific symptoms of frontal mucoceles may result in misdiagnosis and delayed treatment, why this pathology should be considered in ch...

Bifid Epiglottis as a Cause of Recurrent Pneumonia in a Patient with Bardet-Biedl Syndrome, a Ciliopathy
Ciliopathic diseases comprise a group of genetic disorders associated with abnormal formation or function of cilia. These abnormalities can manifest as a broad spectrum of physical findings including bronchiectasis, situs inversus, postaxial polydactyly, and retinal abnormalities with the prominent organs affected being the brain, liver, eye, and kidney. Presentation of symptoms can occur on a broad spectrum of age depending on the severity of the mutation [1]. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra)

Bilateral Pneumosinus Dilatans of the Sphenoid Sinuses Causing Visual Loss
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the rare presentation of Pneumosinus Dilatans (PDS) of the sphenoid sinuses in a pediatric patient manifesting as acute visual loss, and his successful treatment with surgical intervention.A total of 29 cases of sphenoid sinuses in the literature were reviewed.11 patients (37.93%) were classified as having idiopathic disease. 22 patients (75.86%) presented with visual loss as their chief complaint. All 3 patients with idiopathic PDS that underwent sphenoidotomy had resolution of their symptoms. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra)

Nd:YAG LASER treatment of a complex airway venous malformation in a child
Venous malformations are low-flow congenital vascular malformations that consist of aggregates of ectatic venous channels. The estimated incidence is 1-2 per 10,000 births and the prevalence is 1% [1]. Venous malformations commonly appear in the head and neck, extremities, and trunk, and grow in proportion with the individual. Medical intervention in cephalic malformations is indicated by the presence of cosmetic concerns, bleeding from mucosal sites, pain from phlebothrombosis, or impingement on the aerodigestive tract.

A newborn with esophageal atresia and a large, asymmetric mouth
Orofacial clefts are the commonest craniofacial birth defects. Whereas cleft lip and cleft palate are well-known congenital malformations transverse facial cleft (macrostomia) is rare and therefore receives less attention. The degree of severity of transverse facial clefts is varying from a hardly noticeable widening of the mouth, to a cleft extending to the ear. Transverse facial clefts may occur bilateral and are often associated with developmental anomalies of the first and second branchial arch.
