Congenital heterotopic gastrointestinal cyst of the neck
Abstracts are characterized by eye and ear abnormalities, potentially severe facial asymmetry, as well as other well-described features. The occurrence of most cases is sporadic, but a few cases of familial inheritance are documented in the literature. This report documents two new cases of OAVS occurring in two siblings without other known affected relatives. DOI: 10.1016/j.ijporl.2007.04.027
Penny F. Brown, Pablo Martinez-Devesa *, Ketan A. Shah, Penny A. Lennox John Radcliffe Hospital, Department of ENT, West Wing, John Radcliffe Hospital Headley Way, Oxford OX7 9DU, United Kingdom The presence of normal alimentary tissue in an abnormal location is referred to as a heterotopic gastrointestinal cyst or duplication cyst. These are thought to be congenital and rarely occur in the neck. More often found in the oral cavity, they usually present as an asymptomatic swelling and are treated with surgical excision. We describe the rare presentation and diagnosis of an 8-month-old girl with a congenital heterotopic gastrointestinal cyst in the neck. DOI: 10.1016/j.ijporl.2007.04.025

Lateral sinus thrombosis with cranial nerves palsies B. Viswanatha Department of E.N.T., Victoria Hospital and Bangalore Medical College, Bangalore 560002, Karnataka, India Lateral sinus thrombosis is a well-known complication of otitis media. The classical picture is often modified by previous antibiotic therapy, making the diagnosis and management difficult. A 14-year-old male patient with attico antral type of otitis media presented with fever, headache, deviation of left eye and deviation of tongue to left on protrusion. On investigation patient was found to have lateral sinus thrombosis, petrous apicitis, meningitis and internal jugular vein thrombosis along with cranial nerves palsies. Patient underwent radical mastoidectomy and intravenous antibiotics were given for 2 weeks. Patient recovered well in 1 month. Lateral sinus thrombosis is now a rare intracranial complication of otitis media. The presence of lateral sinus thrombosis mandates further investigation for additional complication. Here a case of lateral sinus thrombosis with internal jugular vein thrombosis, petrous apicitis, abducent and hypoglossal nerves palsies is presented for its rarity.
Congenital absence of the nose, named as congenital arhinia (CA), is a rare disorder of embryogenesis. We reported a baby with arhinia.
