Fifty-year-old female with dysphagia, presenting on fibrolaryngoscopy a sub-mucosal bulging of the entire right hemilarynx (extending from the pharyngolaryngeal wall to the vocal cord) that spread towards the vallecula and the pharyngoepiglottal fold obliterating the pyriform sinus. The cervical CT scan revealed a solid, hyperdense mass of approximately 5×3.5×2.5 cm extending from the glossoepi...

INTRODUCTION Congenital nasal pyriform aperture stenosis and solitary median maxillary central incisor are uncommon anomalies and are associated with further malformations. Solitary median maxillary central incisor itself has initially no impact on a child's health, but congenital nasal pyriform aperture stenosis is a potentially life-threatening condition. CASE PRESENTATION A Caucasian baby ...

The induction of Fos immunoreactivity in the pyriform cortex and the hippocampal formation after closed head injury was determined and compared to that seen following cortical needle injury in pentobarbital anaesthetized male rats. Robust Fos expression was observed in the ipsilateral pyriform cortex following both types of injury but was observed in the ipsilateral dentate gyrus only following...

Background: Lipoma is a very rare benign tumour of upper aero-digestive tract with less than 115 cases described in the English-literature. They account for approximately 1% tumours larynx and oro/hypopharynx. The symptoms are variable including progressive horseness, dysphagia even severe dyspnea which can sometimes be life-threatening. clinical presentation lipoma important particularly durin...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is wide discrepancy between common clinical and radiologic presentations of branchial sinuses arising from the pyriform fossa and the theoretic course of third and fourth branchial arch anomalies. The purpose of this study was to revisit the clinical presentations and imaging features of such anomalies in children. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review of i...

introduction frontal sinus mucoceles are the commonest among all paranasal mucoceles. with introduction of functional endoscopic sinus surgery, surgeons prefer endoscopic management of sinus mucoceles, but lesions that appear in the lateral part of the frontal sinus can be difficult to access and often need external approaches. case presentation we described a lateral frontal sinus mucocele wit...

BACKGROUND Congenital nasal pyriform aperture stenosis is a rare and potentially lethal form of airway obstruction in newborns. Immediate recognition and appropriate therapy are mandatory for this potentially life-threating condition. This anomaly may present as an isolated malformation or may be associated with other cranial-facial anomalies. Clinically, CNPS shows unspecific symptoms of nasal...

introduction: thyroid gland is well known to resist infections by rich blood supply and lymphatic drainage,   high glandular content of iodine which can be bactericidal and separation of the gland from other structures of neck. primary thyroid abscess resulting from acute suppurative thyroiditis (ast) is an unusual type of head and neck infection and it is a rare condotion in children so that p...
