Cholesterol granulomas are non-cancerous or benign cysts that rarely occur at the point of petrous apex. In this report, we are presenting an extremely rare case of the cyst with cholesterol granulomas located in the nasal septum and eroding the cartilage. In this case a 45 years old male patient was presented for rhinoplasty procedure with a severe issue of bilateral nasal blockage and facial pain since a long time ago. He previously had a history of nasal surgery (Septoplasty) and rigid nasal endoscopy showed septal swelling in both the nasal cavity. Similarly, computed tomography (CT scan) with Multi Planer Reconstruction (MPR) showed a well-circumscribed lesion involving the anterior nasal septum and extended to both nasal cavities. The cyst was completely removed through surgery and the external approach septorhinoplasty was adopted. One-year post-operative follow-up showed no recurrence. Comprehensive but brief description of this rare atypical case of the nasal septal cyst with cholesterol granulomas will serve as a valuable differential diagnosis tool to all the Otorhinolaryngologists head and neck surgeons or ear, nose, throat (ENT) specialists/surgeons.

This work on otospongios is to evaluate our experience in management. It is a rare pathology in our context more precisely in the black race. The studies on this pathology concerned the study on whites. The prevalence of this pathology remains obscure in our context. In our structure we have tried to highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic aspects. We collected fourteen cases of otosclerosis. The clinical examination and the computed tomography allowed us to choose the operable cases in 85.8% with favorable consequences. Our study highlights the lack of management familiarity of these cases especially in the black race.

Objective: A Solitary Sphenoid Fungus Ball (SSFB) is an uncommon unilateral collection of non-invasive fungal hyphae in the sphenoid sinus. The association and potential impact of nasal septal deviation (NSD) on the pathogenesis of SSFB has not been fully assessed. The purposes of this study were to investigate whether NSD is associated with SSFB, and to assess the alterations to adjacent structures caused by SSFB. Methods: Forty-three patients with SSFB were enrolled as the study group. Another 43 age and sex matched patients that underwent trans-sphenoidal resection of a pituitary tumor were enrolled as the control group. The incidence of NSD, and alterations to adjacent bony structures were compared between these two groups. Analysis of the relationship between the direction and severity of NSD with the ipsilateral occurrence of fungus ball in the sphenoid sinus was also performed. Results: The incidence of NSD in patients with SSFB (86.05%) was statistically higher than that in control group (39.53%) (p<0.001). Neither the direction of NSD (p=0.861) nor the severity of NSD (p=0.442) would impact the ipsilateral occurrence of the SSFB. An expanded sphenoid ostia, punctate calcifications, and bony wall sclerosis were the main characteristics on CT imaging. Central signal deficiency was a typical characteristic on T2WI MRI. Conclusion: NSD was common in patients with SSFB. However, no statistically significant difference was detected between the direction and severity of NSDon the ipsilateral occurrence of the sphenoidalfungal sinusitis.

Background:Ludwig ’ s Angina is a relentless, promptly intensifying, life threatening deadly cellulitis of submandibular space causing impediment of patient aerodigestive passage as a consequence of developing odynophagia, trismus and respiratory distress. Dental carries and infection, diabetes mellitus, poor oral hygiene and immune suppression are the main ingenious factor for it. Poor slum dwellers and villagers whose are unlettered, less learning about oral hygiene and inadequate support for hygienic living are pragmatic confession for Ludwig’s Angina in the perspective view of the developing countries. Methods:It is a cohort retrospective study of 193 cases of Ludwig’s Angina in the department of Otolaryngology and Head-Neck surgery, Comilla Medical College, Bangladesh. Result: Incidence of Ludwig’s Angina out of total inpatient were 0.63% and out of total emergency patient were 4.80%. Of them male were 81.34% and female were 18.66%, 89.65% were above 41 years, 86.52% cleaned their tooth by charcoal, 93.78% had dental carries and 87.56% were diabetic.

Septic Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthritis is an unusual complication of acute mastoiditis in children. This is a case of acute mastoiditis in a 7 years old child following an acute otitis media ear infection, which presented with ear discharge, trismus, mastoid area erythema and TMJ swelling and pain. CT scan showed opacification of mastoid temporal bone and TMJ area. Treatment included antibiotics and TMJ abscess surgical drainage. In this case report, we discuss the clinical picture, investigations, treatment and literature review for this case. Multidisciplinary approach (ENT, Paediatrics, and Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons) was mandatory to manage this unusual complication in children.

Despite the use of symptomatic treatment against hay fever, a subgroup of patients is hindered tremendously during the season. Intramuscular steroid injections are not mentioned in current guidelines, or even advised against, though they were often used some decades ago. Triamcinolone intramuscular injection can be considered an additional therapy with a reasonable low profile of side effects for patients with severe hay fever.

Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor (IMT) and Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Sarcoma (IMS) are uncommon in the Head and Neck region. We present a patient (9 yrs old girl) with IMT from a lacrimal system, undertaking a gross total resection at the department of Ophthalmology, followed by corticosteroid therapy and radiotherapy. After cessation of radiotherapy, the tumor recurred rapid growth rate with the expansion into the entire globe, left paranasal sinuses, and the ipsilateral masseter space and parotid gland. The second surgery with resection of all abovementioned infiltrated structures was performed at the department of Head and Neck, and the pathological outcome turns out to be IMS. However, negative margin could not be achieved. Next generation gene sequencing analysis of whole exome was performed, and the abnormality of CDKN1B gene rearrangement was identified. The role of CDKN1B in the pathogenesis of IMS warrants further investigation.

The Speech-Language Pathologist is the health professional with full graduation on Speech-Language Pathology, who acts independently both in public and private services. The professional is responsible for health promotion, prevention, assessment and diagnose, guidance, therapy (habilitation and rehabilitation) and improvement of speech-language pathology features as peripheral and central hearing function, vestibular function, oral language and writing, voice, fluency, speech articulation and myofunctional orofacial system, cervical, and swallowing. Also, the professional practices teaching, research and managerial activities (2 Speech-Language Pathology Regional Council definition – CRFa2). Currently, the Federal Speech-Language Pathology Council (CFF) recognizes 12 specialties: Audiology, Language, Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders, Collective Health, Voice, Dysphagia, Educational Speech-Language Pathology, Gerontology, Neurofunctional Speech Therapy, Occupational Health Speech-Language Pathology, Neuropsychology, and Fluency. Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders: the Speech-Language Pathologist is the professional who habilitates / rehabilitates breathing, sucking, chewing, swallowing, facial expression and speech articulation which provides better life and communication conditions (CRFa2). In 1997, at Dentistry Faculty of Sao Paulo University – USP, I started as assistant Speech-Language Pathologist in research and clinic of patients from the Traumatology Orthognathic Surgery, Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction, and Face Trauma; since then working in rehabilitation of orthognathic patients. The Speech-Language Pathologist compose the multidisciplinary team, which is essential during pre-surgery orofacial myofunctional disorder assessment and to contribute to virtual surgery planning; and after, rehabilitating the function speeding up the recovery and results. The Speech-Language Pathologist works to organize the neuromotor programming after the bones bases relocation always aiming the function according to each patient features, to assess possible adaptations and inappropriate myofunctional compensations, awareness/ comprehension/ muscle memory and functional activation.
