We present a report of a patient with signs and symptoms of acute unilateral parotitis. The patient was subsequently found to have multiple metal wires embedded within the right sternocleidomastoid muscle, with no evidence of preceding trauma. Although the etiology was unclear, a childhood injury was suspected, highlighting the need for a high index of suspicion for foreign bodies in any child ...

In this article, we report two rare cases of lipoma in the head and neck region. Thirty-four-year-old case 1 presented with hoarseness and sensation of foreign body in throat. While 54-year-old case 2 presented with complaint of a mass in left side of neck. The imaging methods showed the masses in false vocal fold and the sternocleidomastoid muscle. Diagnosis and treatment of the masses were di...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Dose-saving techniques in neck CT cause increased image noise that can be counteracted by iterative reconstruction. Our aim was to evaluate the image quality of advanced modeled iterative reconstruction (ADMIRE) in contrast-enhanced low-tube-voltage neck CT. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-one patients underwent 90-kV(peak) neck CT by using third-generation 192-section dual...

Aim: The line from the midpoint of the sternocleidomastoid muscle to the midpoint of the clavicle was considered the surface projection of the brachial plexus in the supraclavicular region in a previous report using radiological and anatomic techniques. The needle insertion site was the point between the clavicular one-third and cervical two-thirds of this line. The aim of the present study was...

There have been multiple studies on defining landmarks for spinal accessory nerve but most of them have stressed upon the identification of nerve in the posterior triangle of the neck. I have highlighted few landmarks that are less known for identification of spinal accessory nerve and their importance. The five landmarks which were analysed are posterior belly of digastric, transverse process ...

Surgical procedures for parotidectomy had been developed to gain adequate approach, prevent morbidity of nerve, and give esthetic satisfaction. We performed two cases of parotidectomy through facelift incision. One case was reconstructed with superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) flap and sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle rotated flap at the parotid bed. In second case, same procedures we...
