A recent widespread concept is that ultrasound-guided central venous catheter insertion is a mandatory method. Some techniques have been introduced for ultrasound-guided central venous catheterization. Among them, short-axis lateral in-plane technique is considered to be the most useful technique for internal jugular vein access. Therefore, we used this technique for the insertion of a large-bo...

We presented two adult cases of cystic hygroma colli (CHC), one with atypical location. The first patient was a 23-year-old male with CHC located in the posterior cervical triangle, its common location in the neck. The latter was a 22-year-old male whose lesion occupied the submandibular region and extended to the skull base. The diagnosis was made by computed tomography, magnetic resonance ima...

Lymphatic malformations (LM) are benign congenital malformations of the lymphatic system. They are frequently seen in the neck and sometimes can be life-threatening due to compression to the airway. Treatment modalities are widespread including surgical excision, radiotherapy, laser therapy, and application of intralesional sclerosing agents. We report the successful treatment of cervical LM in...

We report the case of a 40 year-old Nepali man admitted to the hospital with a one month history of fever associated with swelling, pain, and redness on the right side of the neck. On examination, tender lymph nodes were palpated in the right posterior cervical triangle. Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy showed hemophagocytosis. Cervical lymph node biopsy showed the typical necrotizing lymphade...

Immunologically based studies of host-tumor interactions have gained popularity in head and neck oncology and histopathological determination of lymph node reactivity has been shown to correlate with survival. However, little is known about lymph node reaction patterns in the "normal" neck. In a prospective histomorphologic study 1,024 cervical lymph nodes (CLN) were dissected at autopsy from 2...

BACKGROUND Malakoplakia is a very rare chronic inflammatory disorder, first described in 1902. In 75% of cases, the condition affects the genitourinary tract. Five cases of malakoplakia affecting the neck were previously reported in the literature. METHODS AND RESULTS An 83-year-old woman presented with an enlarging mass in the posterior triangle of the neck that was histologically confirmed ...

Injury to the spinal accessory nerve can be a disabling disorder. Patients with a spinal accessory nerve injury may have pain, paresthesias, and motor weakness that may result in scapular winging. The nerve can be injured by open, penetrating, or closed trauma; however, the most common cause is iatrogenic. This is most commonly encountered after procedures in the posterior triangle of the neck ...
