Nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma is a rare neoplasm that most commonly affects children in the first year of life. However, cases in older individuals have been reported. This unusual lesion is benign in nature, but can be locally aggressive leading to complications. Only 23 cases have been reported, although cases in older literature may have been identified. We present the 24th case in a 3-year-old child with recurrent eye infections, congestion, and proptosis. This is the second case reported in children between the ages of 2 and 10 years, and also the second case of recurrence after complete initial resection.

Bilateral simultaneous acute coalescent mastoiditis: A rare complication Elham Alwedyani, Abdulrahman AlSanosi * From the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, College of Medicine, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
In the era of antibiotics the frequency of acute mastoiditis has decreased sharply. Here we present a 9-month-old girl with bilateral acute simultaneous coalescent mastoiditis who was treated conservatively.

A non-lethal bilateral temporal bone fracture in a 4 month old infant Hani Rifai, Hamdy El-Hakim * Pediatric Otolaryngology, Divisions of Pediatric Surgery and Otolaryngology, The Stollery Children’s Hospital & University of Alberta Hospitals, Edmonton, Canada
Temporal bone fractures in the pediatric age group account for 6–22% of all temporal bone fractures cases. It is extremely rare in infants, and will usually result in a lethal outcome. Complications of temporal bone fractures include cerebro-spinal fluid leaks, ossicular disruption, hearing loss and acquired cholesteatomas. We present the case report of a 4 month old baby who survived a motor vehicle accident, but sustained bilateral temporal bone fractures, with ossicular disruption and dislocation, and cholesteatoma formation. A cerebro-spinal fluid leak and brain herniation were averted courtesy of the head of the incus tamponading the defect in the skull base. We also present a short review of the current management of temporal bone fractures and its complications in children. doi:10.1016/j.ijporl.2010.09.032
Neonatal nasal mass: Chondromesenchymal hamartoma Anita Jeyakumar *, Tim McEvoy, Nicholas Fettman Department of Otolaryngology, 1465 South Grand Blvd, Suite B826, Saint Louis University, St Louis, MO 63104, USA
Neonatal nasal masses are rare and can present with respiratory and feeding problems. Frequently, due to a paucity of available data, nasal masses can be diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas. We present a case of a 7-day-old full-term female, who presented to our clinic with a right-sided nasal mass that had been present since birth. A biopsy of the mass revealed a diagnosis of nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma (NCMH). In this report, we

Vascular malformations are a well described group of congenital cystic neck lesions. Besides true neoplasms the smallest percentage of these cases are non-neoplastic malformations or congenital disturbances of tissue development, often with an abnormal mixture of tissue indigenous to the region. A hamartoma may occur in any organ, it is characterized by a focal overgrowth of mature normal cells and tissues at sites of identical cellular composition. Haemangiomas, lymphangiomas, arteriovenous, capillary and venous malformations belong to the hamartoma group. The mixed hamartoma consisting of different types of vascular cells occurs seldom. The authors discuss the preoperative diagnostic possibilities, the differential diagnostic steps and the treatment concepts, through the case of a rare, congenital, mixed, prenatally diagnosed hamartoma, which led to early airway compromise. doi:10.1016/j.ijporl.2010.10.039
