Less than 1% of all head and neck neoplasms are juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas, a cancer almost exclusively found in adolescent males. Here we present a case report of 14 year old male presented with neck swelling, nasal discharge mixed with blood, right sided proptosis and right sided palatal palsy where we performed CECT scan of the patient which showed homogenous opacity over nasopharynx extending to soft palate and posteriorly to C1 vertebra and DNE was performed. Later patient was planned for DNE along with biopsy which came out to be undifferentiated non-keratinized squamous cell carcinoma grade III. Further patient received external beam intensity modulated radiation therapy with complete response to treatment.
在所有头颈部肿瘤中，青少年鼻咽血管纤维瘤占不到1%，这种癌症几乎只发生在青少年男性身上。我们在此报告了一例 14 岁男性患者的病例，患者颈部肿胀、鼻腔分泌物混有血液、右侧突眼和右侧腭麻痹，我们对患者进行了 CECT 扫描，结果显示患者鼻咽部有同质混浊物，并延伸至软腭和 C1 椎体后方，于是对患者进行了 DNE 扫描。随后，我们计划对患者进行 DNE 和活组织检查，结果显示为未分化非角化鳞状细胞癌 III 级。随后，患者接受了体外射束调强放射治疗，治疗后反应良好。

The aim of the study was to evaluate the longterm results of endoscopic endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy in the management of epiphora due to nasolacrimal duct obstruction.The prospective study included 30 patients of all age and either sex with features of dacrocystitis. Patients were randomly distributed for one of the following surgeries - Dacryocysto-rhinostomy using Stent and Powered instruments (STPI) / Dacryocysto-rhinostomy using Stents and Gouge (STGO) / Dacryocysto-rhinostomy using Powered instruments (NSPI) / Dacryocysto-rhinostomy using only Gouge (NSGO). Follow up till 365 days was done and data on outcome, recurrence and complications were collected.: Success rate of all the procedures were 100 % at Day 3 and Day 7. On Day 30, success rate of all the procedures except NSGO were 100 %. At day 90 and 180, success rates were NSGO (85.7%); NSPI (100%); STGO (100%); STPI (85.7%). At day 365, success rates were NSGO (57.1%); NSPI (100%); STGO (100%); STPI (71.4%). The difference was not statistically significant (p <0.05). The results indicate that the success rate of all the four modalities are comparable. : Endoscopic DCR is a safe day-care procedure done which can be done under local anaesthesia with excellent results. Its efficacy ranges from 85.7-100% on Day 90 and 180; and 57.1-100% on Day 365. Success rate of all four procedures are same. In view of high success rate and low complications with all four procedures (NSGO; NSPI; STGO; STPI), endoscopic DCR using gouge or drill with or without stent were recommended.

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a cocktail regimen for the treatment of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). A prospective observational study. Tertiary care hospital. Thirty-five patients diagnosed with SSNHL who met the inclusion criteria. The cocktail regimen included intratympanic steroid injections, oral steroids, valacyclovir, and pentoxifylline. The primary outcome was the change in Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) from pre-treatment to 3 months post-treatment, analyzed by Modified Siegel’s criteria. Of the 35 patients, 26 (74.2%) showed hearing improvement (including complete and partial recovery) at the 3-month follow-up. The mean improvement in PTA was 22.56 dB (SD = 18.4). However, the calculated odds ratios (OR) for treatment efficacy and hearing recovery comparisons were 1.0, with wide confidence intervals, indicating no statistically significant differences between improved and not improved groups. The cocktail regimen showed potential benefits for hearing recovery in SSNHL patients, particularly in cases with less severe initial hearing loss. Nevertheless, the absence of a statistically significant difference in the comparative analyses underscores the need for larger, randomized controlled trials to substantiate these findings.

We describe a case of nasal myiasis due to in a 52-year-old Hindu priest with a previously known case of right sided hemiparesis with diabetes mellitus. Initial attempts to remove the fly larvae using manual extraction with a toothed forceps and normal saline irrigation were unsuccessful. On subsequent nasal irrigation after instillation of ivermectin tabs crushed in normal saline as nasal drops, the patient self-expulsed some larvae, and rest larvae were cleared on subsequent nasal suction and clearance. He also received a course of oral ivermectin. Here, we propose that the antiparasitic oral tablet ivermectin can be used in a nasal drop formulation for the aid of nasal myiasis.

Ameloblastomas are odontogenic tumours that arise from the maxilla and mandible. They are mostly benign but can seldom turn malignant. Their low incidence (<1-3%) and ambiguous presentation can often pose a diagnostic dilemma for the clinician. They are mostly diagnosed with the help of contrast-enhanced computed tomography scans and confirmed by characteristic findings on histopathological examination. We present a case of a 14-year-old boy presenting with a firm to hard external swelling on the right side of his face and extensive intraoral mass, which showed features of a bony malignancy but was subsequently diagnosed with ameloblastoma.

Mucormycosis is a fatal opportunistic fungal infection most commonly seen in immunocompromised individuals. The mortality can vary depending on the extent of the disease, starting in the paranasal sinuses, reaching the orbit, and eventually spreading intracranially. The sudden surge of Mucormycosis along with COVID-19 infections has rightfully been described as an epidemic amidst a pandemic. While the exact etiological factor is still being investigated, uncontrolled diabetes seems to be the most common inciting factor. Mucormycosis being angioinvasive, often leads to thrombus formation in the vessels, which leads to the necrosis of the tissues and bones, most commonly the maxilla. This necrotic tissue forms an ideal culture for various organisms and is a potential source for maggots' infestation. The presence of nasal myiasis further worsens the clinical status of the patients, making them prone to life-threatening complications. Thus, nasal myiasis seems to be an independent prognosticating factor in such cases. Here, we have described two such cases, our approach to management and mortality despite the best possible management.Two cases are being presented of elderly patients with comorbidities of type 2 diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease. Both patients had a recent onset of COVID-19 and presented with intraorbital and intracranial disease extension along with nasal myiasis. Both patients succumbed to the fulminant pathology despite aggressive management.Mucormycosis, COVID-19 and nasal myiasis combine together to form a fatal triad, which despite early identification and aggressive management, carries a poor prognosis.

: Adenoidectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed on children. Conventional curettage adenoidectomy is a low-cost procedure that is still widely practised, particularly in developing nations. To compare conventional curettage adenoidectomy and endoscopic-assisted powered adenoidectomy using a microdebrider. Consecutive cases for Conventional Adenoidectomy (Group I) and Endoscopic Assisted Adenoidectomy (Group II) were taken from cases undergoing adenoidectomy, with each group consisting of 20 patients. The operating time and postoperative pain score were measured and compared between the two groups. Patients were evaluated at the first and sixth weeks to measure subjective improvement of symptoms , DNE was performed to evaluate remaining adenoid tissue and scarring of adjacent structures. The total operating time in groups I and II was 13 minutes (range: 10-15 minutes) and 21 minutes (range: 15-25 minutes), respectively. In 12 cases, remnent adenoid tissue ranged from 25 to 50%. Ten of them received conventional adenoidectomy. Group I experienced significantly higher postoperative pain than group II. Endoscopic adenoidectomy is a safe and effective alternative to conventional curettage. It favours consistent restoration of nasopharyngeal patency, improved haemostasis, and reduced postoperative pain.

What distinguishes humans from rest of the animal kingdom, is ability to convey ideas, emotions and complex deductive logic by the human faculty referred to as speech which in turn is fundamentally dependent on tones produced by voice box or the larynx .Communication ability is a must in the present day scenario and the inability to do so leads to a lot of unpleasentness in an individual. Abuse of the same leads to numerous problems ranging from fatigue or inability to speak for long to strain and sometimes severe dysphonia affecting the normal chores of day to day living and such an upset can lead to severe depression and inferiority complexes especially in people who need voice in their profession which includes teachers, call center employees, radio jockeys, trainers, motivational speakers. With all this in mind the following study was designed to exactly understand the problem and to come up with a solution if any to counter it.
