Acute suppurative thyroiditis (AST) is a rare endocrine emergency, typically of bacterial origin, that can lead to significant morbidity and life-threatening complications. It far less common than other inflammatory thyroid conditions, such as subacute thyroiditis, may mimic noninfectious disorders. Case 1 describes 40-year-old man with 5-day history anterior neck swelling odynophagia. Physical examination imaging confirmed AST retropharyngeal space involvement. He was treated broad-spectrum...

To assess the feasibility and efficacy of intensity-modulated radiation implemented with helical tomotherapy image-guided daily megavoltage computed tomography for head neck cancer.Between May 2010 2013, 72 patients were treated curative intent. The median age was 64 years, 57% undergoing definitive 43% postoperative radiotherapy. Primary tumour sites oral cavity (21%), oropharynx (26%), hypopharynx (20%), larynx (22%), others (11%). Staging included 4% stage I, 15% II, 26% III, 48% IVa, 7%...

Peritonsillar abscess (PTA) is a very common infection, in particular pediatric and adolescent population. A distinction between peritonsillar cellulitis should be made to determine the appropriate treatment. Nonetheless, difference cannot always on physical examination alone often requires imaging by computed tomography (CT). Radiation exposure as well cost waiting time question use of CT this pathology. We present our experience Transcutaneous Cervical Ultrasonography for diagnosis...

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), an uncommon malignancy in Western Countries and Radiotherapy, remains effective treatment. Its side effects are classified as either immediate or late; postradiation necrosis is important late effect with a strong impact on the prognosis patients NPC. We report case of 65-year-old Caucasian man presenting deep necrotic ulcer nasopharynx osteoradionecrosis skull base that appeared 3 months after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Conservative treatment...

Meningoencephaloceles of the skull base most commonly occur as a sequela head trauma or they can more rarely be congenital malformations. Several types encephalocele exist depending on anatomic features and localisation. Clinical presentation symptoms vary. Different methods management repair concurring defects have been described ranging vary from endoscopic to open surgical approaches. We report case 56-year-old Caucasian woman with diagnosis right sided spontaneous transethmoidal...

Acute laryngeal trauma is estimated to occur in approximately one patient per 14 500 42 emergency room admissions. If the larynx injured, its vital functions are affected and can be threatened case of severe injury. Soft cartilage offers no protective advantage, which reason why young as well older individuals at risk thyroid fracture. Experimentation on cadaver has demonstrated that virtually all fractures longitudinally oriented. Furthermore, muscular pull contribute a misalignment...

We report an extremely rare example of a thoracocervicofacial subcutaneous emphysema after Heimlich maneuver case.

WHO first recognised extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) in 2001, thanks to technical advances anatomopathology and immunohistochemistry. It is divided into nasal extranasal subgroups depending on the primary site. Primary isolated of testis rare. Typical recurrence sites testicular are gastrointestinal tract, lymph nodes, skin, spleen central nervous system. Nasal relapses a very rare according our knowledge, no other case has been reported yet literature. The authors report 35-year-old...

Congenital fourth branchial arch anomalies are uncommon entities. Most of these diagnosed in childhood. The majority cases occur on the left side. clinical presentation varies with age. A respiratory distress is usual neonates, cervical cutaneous fistulas late childhood or acute suppurative thyroiditis. Multiples diagnostic options have been described different modalities treatment. only case reports. We report a recurrent abscess young woman due to residual fistula arch.

Voice disorders exert a dramatic influence on patients’ quality of life (QOL). The physical, functional, and emotional impact can be accurately assessed using the conventional questionnaire “voice handicap index” (VHI) or its shorter version, VHI-10. We evaluated VHI scores patients suffering from obstructive Reinke’s edema, benign laryngeal disorder, before after endoscopic treatment. Comparison pre- postoperative showed treatment efficacy. achieved were similar to asymptomatic individuals...

Abstract Maxillary sinusitis induced by ipsilateral dental manipulation often carries the risk of sinusal foreign body impaction. Adequate evaluation mandates radiological exploration sinus. Management requires complete removal, surgical drainage sinus, and closure any oroantral communication or fistula.

Complete pharyngo-oesophageal stricture (PES) after radiotherapy for head and neck cancer is a relatively rare difficult complication to manage. Historically this condition has been treated surgically, but endoscopic approaches are now available. We present 61-year-old man with an epidermoid carcinoma of the supraglottic stage micro-invasive oropharynx surgically subsequently by adjuvant radiotherapy. Eight months end radiotherapy, complete PES was diagnosed combined anterograde-retrograde...

A 56-year-old man, with good general health, was addressed by his own physician to our ENT and cervico-facial surgery department a chief complaint of mass in the right check. The has been progressively growing over last 15 years, become increasingly troublesome 3 months. MRI imaging suggested vascular malformation. Patient underwent an “en-bloc” surgical excision mass, which revealed pleomorphic adenoma. Pleomorphic adenomas are benin neoplasms composed mesenchimal epithelial components....

The impact of metastasis to the retropharyngeal lymph node group is poorly understood because difficult access space (RPS). In 20%–50% surgically treated oropharyngeal, hypopharyngeal, and cervical oesophageal carcinomas, we can find metastases nodes (RPLNs). 1 use a three-dimensional (3D)-imaging-guided navigation system perform biopsy for suspicion in an RPLN provide advantages terms better precision 3D orientation with protection surrounding critical structures. We report two cases open...

Sinusitis is a common ear, nose and throat disease which develops from viral or bacterial upper respiratory airway infection. Complications of rhinosinusitis vary relatively benign to fatal severe have been classified into local (5-10%), orbital (60- 75%) intracranial (15-20%) complications [1]. Intracranial consist meningitis, epidural abscess, subdural intracerebral cavernous sinus thrombosis superior sagittal thrombosis. We present series 3 cases acute paranasal sinusitis treated in our...

Heterotopic salivary tissue (HST) is a normal located outsides the major and minor glands. Multiple sites of localisation heterotopias have been described, occurrence HST in neck rare it may several clinical manifestation. We report case 72-year-old Caucasian man presenting suspect mass on left-sided supraclavicular region. He known for melanoma right elbow, surgically treated 11 years ago. The final diagnosis pleomorphic adenoma was retained. Methods management are documented. Neoplasms...
