Parotid infection/abscess leading to facial nerve palsy is a rare presentation. Normally, malignant parotid masses are associated with facial nerve palsy. We present a case of parotitis which was complicated by facial nerve dysfunction and recovered well with conservative treatment.

The Alt-RAMEC protocol was introduced by Liou in the year 2005. It allows for sutural mobilisation by opening and closing the RME screw for 7-9 weeks. Maxillary protraction after the use of Alt-RAMEC (Alternate Rapid Maxillary Expansion and Contraction) protocol is an efficient method for early treatment skeletal Class III malocclusion. This case report shows the results of the using hyrax bonded maxillary expander with Alt-RAMEC protocol to treat a maxillary hypoplasia Class III malocclusion. A 10-year-old patient with skeletal class III malocclusion with anterior as well as unilateral posterior crossbite was treated using this protocol. CBCT scans were taken before and after expansion. These CBCT scans were used for assessing and analyzing the airway tissue changes that have occurred after using Alt-RAMEC protocol. The objective of this case report is to assess airway changes after using Alt-RAMEC protocol.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a contagious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The first known case was identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. The disease since then spread worldwide leading to an constant ongoing pandemic. With the changing global scenario, unpredicatable life, destructive scenes everywhere this deadly micro virus has easily managed to bring the world to its knees with its changing variant, multiplying behaviour and mutating ability. Here, I have tried to get a glimpse of this “COVID” sights, sections & sequelae at a glance that has been face by the world since December 2019 till date.

Plummer-Vinson syndrome (PVS) is a triad of dysphagia, iron deficiency anemia and upper esophageal web. Early diagnosis with adequate treatment is necessary to prevent its malignant transformation. To represent different clinical pictures of PVS and to evaluate the treatment outcome and determine its prevalence. This is a descriptive study with study population of 267 patients with dysphagia and 40 had PVS. Post cricoid webs were dilated and post-operative iron correction was done. Patients are on regular follow up. Analysis showed highest incidence in females with dysphagia being the main presenting complaint in all the patients. All had iron deficiency and 90% of patients had post cricoid web. PVS is a precancerous condition. Serum ferritin should be the preferred parameter for diagnosing iron deficiency anemia. Regular follow up is warranted to prevent malignant progression.

Type 1 tympanoplasty with graft helps in closure of perforation thereby arresting otorrhoea and improvement in hearing. Selecting a graft in tympanoplasty with cortical mastoidectomy is still a debatable topic among ENT surgeons across the world. Cortical mastoidectomy is opted by many for good mastoid ventilation and disease clearance in chronic otitis media.Evaluating postoperative outcomes of patients in graft uptake and hearing improvement in cortical mastoidectomy with type I tympanoplasty using temporalis fascia graft with and without tragal cartilage support in quiescent mucosal type of chronic otitis media with conductive hearing loss. A retrospective study of 60 patients who underwent cortical mastoidectomy with type I tympanoplasty were screened and taken for study. Group A had 30 patients who had underwent tympanoplasty with temporalis fascia supported by cartilage and group B included 30 patients who underwent tympanoplasty with temporalis fascia alone. They were followed periodically for 6 months and the outcome of graft uptake and hearing improvement were compared. Successful Graft uptake in group A was 90% and group B was 93%. Hearing improvement in group A was 83% and group B was 87%. Type I Tympanoplasty with cortical mastoidectomy gives a good outcome in terms of graft uptake and hearing improvement in chronic otitis media, but our study showed no significant difference between the two types of grafts used for tympanoplasties. The selection of patients, the condition of middle ear, postoperative asepsis and compliance of the patient and periodic follow up remains the crux in best outcome.

Sudden hearing loss has been seen developing after introduction of rabies vaccine. Rabies is however a viral disease showing encephalitis and death. The treatment is done by active and passive immunization. Neurologic complications occur showing Guillain –Barre syndrome or facial paralysis seen in literature as side effects after dosages of vaccine. Hearing loss occurs which was detected in 11-year-old male patient who took medicines for rabies immunization. This present study reports about sudden hearing loss which develops after immunization, however no aetiological factors were seen and clinical management was discussed by literature.

Haemangioma is a benign vascular soft tissue tumor which is compressible and nonpulsatile mass it may be non-blanching at times (as in the present case). Such benign vascular lesions frequently occur in the head and neck, approximately 80% are found in these areas. But they are very rare to be found on pinna. In our case, it was excised surgically on histolopathological examination only the diagnosis was made.

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is rare benign tumour of bone of head and neck region. This is a case report of a 30-year-old male with a rapidly progressing right maxillary swelling. To study clinical profile and histopathological findings of presenting maxillary swelling. Patient underwent total excision of tumour via gingivolabial approach. Specimen was sent for histopathological examination. The histopathologic examination suggested it be a giant cell tumour, most likely an Aneurysmal bone cyst. ABC is characterised by rapid growth pattern. The tumour may cause thinning of bony walls, eventually leading to bony expansion and facial asymmetry. On histopathology, it presents as a variety of giant cell tumour.

: Aim of the work was to highlight the speech and swallowing difficulties that are associated with osmotic demyelination syndrome and also the importance of speech and language therapy in patients with osmotic demyelination syndrome. In this case report, a 68 years old female who developed osmotic demyelination syndrome as a result of hyponatremia correction has been described. The patient developed motor, speech and swallowing difficulties after 10 day of hyponatremia correction. For assessing speech and language skills, Bedside Screening Test for Persons with Aphasia was used. Gugging Swallowing Screen was used for assessing the swallowing skills.: The assessment results indicated that the patient’s auditory comprehension skills were preserved and other verbal skills were affected as the patient had mutism. Also the patient had slight dysphagia with lower risk of aspiration. With speech-language intervention, improvement was observed in swallowing and verbal communication skills. ODS is a rare clinical condition. In order to have a better perspective about speech, language and swallowing skills in individuals with ODS, replication of such studies are essential.
