The foreign body in the bronchus is one of the most fatal emergencies in the Otorhinolaryngology. Delay in the appropriate treatment may result in acute airway diseases and fatal complications. The aim of this manuscript is to report a clinical case of dual migration of an organic foreign body from left to right and then back to the left bronchus in a 13 months old child. The case was initially diagnosed as left sided severe pneumonia which recurred after initial partial response to medical management and thus raised the suspicion of a foreign body. Computed tomography of the chest revealed a foreign body in the right bronchus contrary to clinical findings on the left side suggesting the first migration. The foreign body was visualized and removed from the left bronchus during bronchoscopy; which was contrary to radiological findings, suggesting the second migration.

Foreign bodies of submandibular gland are rare but consistently reported. They usually present as obstructive submandibular sialadenitis. The diagnosis can be challenging because of rarity of such an event, and inability of traditional diagnostic methods to detect the foreign body. Due to its protected location under the mandible and only penetrating injuries to the floor of the mouth or trauma underneath the mandible can reach and damage it. Hence, submandibular gland injury is a very rare incidence that has been documented only in case reports.To approach an early diagnosis, a patient history needs to be believed. In this case report we will highlight the diagnostic and treatment challenges the patients and the surgeons face in foreign bodies of submandibular gland.

This study is aimed to investigate the articulatory functions of patients who have undergone tongue reconstruction following hemiglossectomy. The second aim of the study is to compare the speech intelligibility between hemiglossectomy patients who have undergone tongue reconstruction using pectoralis major myocutaneous with those hemiglossectomy patients who had undergone tongue reconstruction using radial forearm free flap.Fourteen patients who have undergone tongue reconstruction following hemiglossectomy as a treatment for oral cancer between the age of 30 to 60 years were taken up for this study. Tamil Articulation Test was used for assessing the articulatory functions of patients. The speech intelligibility of each patient was assessed using the Ali Yavar Jung National Institute for the Hearing Handicapped intelligibility rating scale. Analysis of articulatory errors revealed linguoalveolar consonants were more impaired when compared to other consonants. Patients with radial forearm free flap had somewhat better speech intelligibility compared to patients with pectoralis major myocutaneous flap reconstruction.The type of reconstruction also impacts the speech intelligibility. Effective intervention can be planned based on the comprehensive speech evaluation and analysis of articulatory error relative to place and manner of production.

Different methods of treatment options and dressing materials are available in today’s era of medical management of wounds. Trilaminar dermal regeneration template (TDRT) has been in use since the 1980s but owing to its high cost, its affordability and availability in third world developing countries is sparse. Here we have described our experience with the use of an indigenously made cost effective dermal regeneration template made from available materials in management of burns

Spinal epidermoid cyst is a rare entity. It may be congenital with associated spinal dysraphism such asspina bifida ,dermal sinus tract and other neural tube defects or acquired due to repeated lumbar puncture and trauma. Congenital spinal epidermoid cysts without spinal dysraphism are rare. Here we are reporting a rare and interesting case of thoracic extramedullary intradural epidermoid cyst with no associated features of spinal dysraphism or history of iatrogenic trauma in a young male patient.
