Hydatid cyst of the submandibular salivary gland in a child: a case report
682 Atlantoaxial subluxation mimicking neck mass ¨ zmen *, Demir Mu Suay O ¨nir Bajin, ¨ ¨ zmen, Umut Mehmet Akyol Omer A. O Hacettepe University Medical Faculty, Department of Otorhinolaryngology, 8/7 Dikmen, 06540 Ankara, Turkey Non-traumatic atlantoaxial subluxation (AAS) is a rare complication of upper respiratory system infection or head and neck surgery. It is called Grisel’s syndrome named after P. Grisel, who first described this condition. AAS without an underlying cause is an extremely rare entiity. We present a case of AAS mimicking anterior in the neck without an underlying cause.
Abstracts Inferior turbinate hypertrophy (ITH) in the pediatric population is generally an acquired problem whose etiology includes septal deviation, allergic rhinitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and enlarged adenoids. Congenital ITH is rarely seen, but requires full evaluation since these babies can exhibit respiratory and feeding difficulties. A review of the English language citations in the PubMed database (1965—2006) failed to reveal any references that specifically address congenital ITH. We report a case of a newborn boy with ITH and resulting respiratory distress, obstructive sleep apnea, and altered external nasal development who failed medical management but was successfully treated by performing an endoscopic inferior turbinoplasty utilizing a microdebrider.

Hydatid cyst of the submandibular salivary gland in a child Cagatay Han Ulku a,*, Yavuz Uyar a, Salim Gungor b, Duygu Koroglu a, Hamdi Arbag a a Selcuk University School of Medicine, Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Meram 42100, Konya, Turkey b Selcuk University School of Medicine Department of Pathology, Meram, Konya, Turkey The majority of hydatid cysts are seen in the liver and lungs. In countries where Echinococcus infestation is common, high index of suspicion is required for hydatosis and although it is a rare location, a hydatid cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of the cervical lesions in order to avoid any dangerous complication such as untreatable multiple hydatosis or a fatal anaphylactic reaction. Surgical removal without causing any spillage of its contents is the most effective treatment. To the best of our knowledge, only one submandibular gland hydatid cyst case in a child has been reported. A case of 9-year-old male with hydatid cyst of the submandibular salivary gland is presented. The literature was reviewed and characteristics of the disease were discussed.

Clinical findings include exudative tonsillitis, generalized or cervical lymphadenopathy, and hepatosplenomegaly. Many complications can arise, but these rarely include facial paralysis. We reported a 19-month-old patient who developed facial paralysis secondary to infectious mononucleosis. DOI: 10.1016/j.ijporl.2006.11.031
