Pleomorphic adenomas arise most commonly in the major salivary glands; the minor salivary glands are affected in only 8% of the cases. Intranasal pleomorphic adenoma being extremely rare originates most commonly from the nasal septum. We present a case of a 55-year-old man who presented with complaints of right-sided nasal obstruction and occasional nasal bleed for the last 6 months. Examination showed...
Dirofilariasis is a parasitic infection caused by nematodes. Human infection remains rare but is increasing in scope, particularly in endemic areas. Dirofilariasis typically presents as a subcutaneous mass or with pulmonary nodules. Here, we present the case of a 73-year-old woman whose asymptomatic facial mass was caused by dirofilarial infection. The pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of...
This article will focus on some theories and recent advances to explain chronic post tympanostomy tube otorrhea, a step-wise approach to treatment and future research areas of interest.
Potential fascial spaces of the neck communicate inferiorly with the mediastinum and thus provide a route for spread of infections. It is very uncommon for supraglottitis to spread to one of these spaces. In this rare case, this infection not only involved the parapharyngeal space but also followed the anatomic path down to the mediastinum. The resulting mediastinal edema increased the intrathoracic...
