Pott's puffy tumor is a complicated infection that requires adequate treatment consisting of prompt surgical management and strict antibiotic therapy. Early diagnosis is critical to prevent severe complications and sequelae. In our patient ultrasonography played a crucial role in the diagnosis, suggesting the presence of a Pott's puffy tumor with epidural abscess by showing a subperiosteal abscess associated with erosion of the frontal bone. Subsequently, the diagnosis of Pott's puffy tumor with epidural abscess was confirmed by contrast-enhanced CT scan. Prompt surgical intervention with drainage of abscesses and debridement of bone sequestrate, together with prolonged antibiotic therapy, significantly contributes to favorable outcomes.Pott's puffy tumor in a 5-year-old boy: The role of ultrasound and contrast-enhanced CT imaging—Surgical case reportO.M.

In this report, we present a 15-year old girl with mucoepidermoid carcinoma of tongue base with discussion of histopathological types of the tumor and its management.Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the tongue in a childMosaad Abdel-Aziz10.1016/j.pedex.2011.07.004International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra 7, 1 (2012)2011-08-18International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra2011-08-1871S1871-4048(12)X0002-9Case reports68http://www.ijporlextra.com/article/PIIS1871404811000608/abstract?rss=yesSummary: We present a case of a 35-month-old child with a penetrating injury into the nasal cavity. The injury occurred with the metal portion of a clothes hanger, which due to its curvature, took a path from the right nasal cavity, through the septum and into the left orbit, just behind the globe itself. Initial evaluation, management, and post-operative course are discussed including a review of other penetrating nasal injuries reported in the literature.Penetrating nasal injury with a coat hangerDavid R.

The bleedings were caused by a pseudoaneurysm of the right linguofacial trunk. All 4 episodes had a common clinical presentation with profuse life-threatening bleedings followed by spontaneous cessations. The pseudoaneurysm was diagnosed on thirteenth postoperative day by angiography and treated successfully by endovascular coil placement. There are only a few cases reported in the literature.Post-tonsillectomy pseudoaneurysm of the linguofacial trunk: An ENT surgeon's nightmareSinan Atmaca, Umit Belet, Sibel Baris10.1016/j.pedex.2011.07.006International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra 7, 1 (2012)2011-09-12International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra2011-09-1271S1871-4048(12)X0002-9Case reports1214http://www.ijporlextra.com/article/PIIS1871404811000621/abstract?rss=yesAbstract: Fibromatosis colli or sternocleidomastoid tumor of infancy is also known as pseudotumor of the sternocleidomastoid muscle of infancy. Its symptoms show a palpable mass in the muscle and cause neonatal torticollis. This paper reports a case of fibromatosis colli, and typical ultrasonographic examination which is the non-invasive diagnostic intervention of choice. Conservatively continuous physiotherapy at the appropriate time will prevent and/or reverse neonatal torticollis.Fibromatosis colli, overlooked cause of neonatal torticollis: A case reportTherdpong Tempark, Susheera Chatproedprai, Atchara Mahayosnond, Siriwan Wananukul10.1016/j.pedex.2011.07.007International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra 7, 1 (2012)2011-08-18International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra2011-08-1871S1871-4048(12)X0002-9Case reports1517http://www.ijporlextra.com/article/PIIS1871404811000633/abstract?rss=yesAbstract: Kimura disease is a rare chronic inflammatory condition of unknown etiology, with a predilection in the head and neck region. Involvement of the epiglottis can cause upper airway obstruction but fortunately this is exceedingly rare. We report a 12-year-old boy who was incidentally found to have Kimura disease involvement of the epiglottis obstructing 80% of the airway in the course of our investigations for his cervical lymphadenopathy. Surprisingly, patient was asymptomatic despite the relative large size of the lesion. To our knowledge this is the youngest patient reported to date. Proposed mechanism for his symptoms and management of the case is discussed.Kimura disease of the epiglottis – An unusual cause of upper airway obstructionK.H. Lim, A.H.C. Ang, H.K.K.

We present a case of extensive sinonasal myxoma involving the anterior skull base in an infant. A 16-month-old African-American female was initially referred to our clinic for evaluation of a possible nasal fracture after falling. Examination demonstrated mild nasal edema, but there was no sign of fracture. Over several weeks, the swelling progressed, and the left eye became proptotic. Imaging demonstrated a massive sinonasal mass involving the skull base. The patient underwent transnasal endoscopic biopsy, which was diagnostic of myxoma. Complete extirpation of the lesion was performed via a combined subcranial, sublabial, and transnasal endoscopic-assisted approach. Her postoperative course was unremarkable and she remained symptom-free with no evidence of disease seven months later. Sinonasal myxoma is rare disease in the pediatric population with the propensity to be locally aggressive. Histologically, it resembles other disease processes, making diagnosis challenging. Endoscopic-assisted approaches can facilitate complete extirpation.Sinonasal myxoma involving the anterior skull base in an infant: A case reportPrabhat K. Bhama, Scott C.

Approximately 1cm of internal jugular vein was resected and end-to-end anastomosis was performed. Four months later the patient had a relapse requiring a second operation.Despite the reported increased incidence of non-tuberculous mycobacterial lymphadenitis in immunocompetent patients, there are no other cases of internal jugular vein erosion reported in the literature. The approach in dealing with this condition is described.Internal jugular vein erosion: An aggressive presentation of non-tuberculous mycobacterial lymphadenitisMario Mujica-Mota, Sam J.

When it occurs, it is most commonly seen on tongue and lip. We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma of maxillary alveolus in ten years old boy. The diagnosis in the case was delayed because of the rarity of this disease in pediatric population. Timely diagnosis and treatment is helpful in treating the disease so as to give a better prognosis in an otherwise poor prognostic disease in children.Squamous cell carcinoma of maxilla in 10 year old boy: A rare case reportManisha Chauhan Solanki, Sumir Gandhi, George Koshy, George C.

At initial presentation, the parents described a 1-month history of progressive hoarseness and stridor later found to be caused by laryngeal lesions. The lesions were eventually discovered to be growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB). Many rounds of skin testing and pathologic specimens of the laryngeal lesions were negative for TB. Presumed sarcoidosis was treated with oral prednisone, blunting the immune system and allowing fulminate TB to manifest. This case serves to reinforce the difficulty inherent in making the diagnosis of laryngeal tuberculosis, and the need to maintain a high level of clinical suspicion for uncommon presentations of the disease.Pediatric laryngeal tuberculosis: A case with significant diagnostic challengesEthan B.
