    Abstract Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a disease characterized by localized and generalized proliferation of the histiocytes. It is a locally aggressive condition. The clinical presentation is highly variable and can range from isolated, self-healing skin or bone lesions to life-threatening multisystem disease. It can present as a unifocal or multifocal disease. The majority are present in the head and neck region, but the involvement of Paranasal sinuses is rare. Here we describe a 64-years-old female who presented with a slow-growing left nasal mass for 1 year. Evaluation of the patient was suggestive of malignancy, but the biopsy report turned out to be Langerhans cell histiocytosis; subsequently left, total maxillectomy was done. We hereby present a unique case of LCH with isolated nose and paranasal sinus involvement.

  3. Article: Decision Making in Complicated Chronic Otitis Media- Squamous Active Disease on Surgical Approach: How it Influenced the Outcome?

    Abstract Chronic Otitis Media (COM) with complications is a common clinical entity in Otorhinolaryngology, but advances in antibiotics and surgical techniques have reduced complication rates and mortality. Management warrants surgical disease clearance, the choice of surgical approach of which may vary. Endaural approach is a less commonly performed approach in view of its complexity and surgical expertise. This case report presents a 13-year-old female with COM-squamous active type with cerebellar abscess, managed with Lempert's endaural mastoidectomy. The patient presented with long-standing left sided purulent ear discharge, ear pain, headache, and vomiting. Diagnosis included bilateral COM-squamous active type with left cerebellar abscess, status post suboccipital craniotomy. Endaural mastoidectomy was performed to circumvent the pseudomeningocoele and achieve disease clearance. Postoperative follow-up showed well-healed scars and no evidence of disease recurrence. Chronic Otitis Media with complications requires surgical management to prevent disease progression and related complications. Surgical approaches for disease clearance include post aural and endaural techniques. Lempert's endaural approach provided a superior view of the middle ear and mastoid, facilitating disease clearance and simplifying postoperative care with enhanced cosmesis. Although endaural approach demands surgical expertise, it can be a viable option for complicated cases. In this case, Lempert's endaural canal wall down mastoidectomy effectively managed COM-squamous active type with cerebellar abscess, offering a clear view of the disease epicenter with limited bone removal. The endaural approach, in the hands of an experienced surgeon, can be a feasible alternative for surgical clearance in complicated COM cases, providing favorable outcomes with superior visibility and cosmesis.

    Abstract Brown Vialetto Van Laere syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by progressive pontobulbar palsy with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and lower cranial nerve palsies. Fifty-eight cases have been reported in the last hundred years. As the most common presenting complaint of this disorder is hearing loss, audiological evaluation plays a vital role in pointing towards and narrowing its diagnosis. We present a case report of a 12-year male child affected by this disorder.

    Abstract Rhinosporidiosis is an endemic condition in India that is difficult to treat when it is disseminated. This condition commonly affects the nasal cavity and nasopharynx mucosa, accounting for 75% of the clinical cases. Although rare, rhinosporidiosis can present with only cutaneous involvement without mucosal disease. Symptoms of this condition include complaints of nasal obstruction and episodic nasal bleeding. Diagnosis is achieved through histopathological examination of tissue and demonstration of the sporangium. Rhinosporidiosis tends to recur as it spreads through autoinoculation. Therefore, during endonasal endoscopic excision of the mass, it is essential not to injure the surrounding mucosa. A trial of medical therapy with dapsone is advised, but it is mostly ineffective in cases of disseminated disease. Here, we present a case report of a patient who underwent seven surgeries for the same condition over 12 years but was unable to get rid of the recurrent menace.

    Abstract Background: Foreign Body Aspiration (FBA) is one of the paediatric emergencies which require timely diagnosis and management. The inherent tendency of children to explore small objects with their mouths often prove to be fatal as they are difficult to remove once aspirated.
    Case report: We present the case of a 5-year-old boy who presented with dyspnea and vomiting following the aspiration of a pen cap. Chest radiograph and Rigid Bronchoscopy helped to identify the foreign body but it couldn't be removed by Rigid Bronchoscopy alone due it's wedge-shaped nature. Hence, an unconventional method of foreign body removal was performed by making a tracheostoma, pushing the foreign body to the level of tracheostoma and thereby taking it out from the tracheostoma under strict monitoring of anesthesia team.
    Conclusion: Alternative approaches like this are required for prompt intervention in a difficult case as it helps to reduce complications produced by repeated failed attempts.

    Abstract Cysts in the parotid region are more common in the gland than in the duct. Isolated cyst of parotid duct is a rare presentation. The treatment for most of the cystic lesions of the parotid or the parotid duct is the excision of the cyst with superficial parotidectomy. However, these lesions can be approached intra-orally for marsupialization achieving the same surgical results with less morbidity. This paper presents a rare case of parotid duct cyst which was managed by intraoral drainage and marsupialization. A 53-year-old female presented with swelling in the right cheek, associated with frequent fluid drainage inside the oral cavity for four months. Radiology and Fine needle aspiration revealed a benign parotid duct cyst with normal parotid gland. It was managed by a simple surgical technique of marsupialization. The patient was followed up for 1 year with no evidence of recurrence. Marsupialization obviates the need for parotidectomy in the simple cystic lesion of the parotid duct, unlike the cystic lesion in the gland per se and also reduces risk of recurrence. The simplicity and lack of major complications make it an effective treatment for salivary duct cysts.

    Abstract Kimura disease is an idiopathic chronic inflammatory disorder, that usually affects the head and neck sites. The use of steroid for its management has been long reviewed in literature alongside immune suppression, but there are only few studies that compare the efficacy of steroid as a single modality treatment for the same. A middle-aged patient, hailing from southern state of India, presented to our outpatient clinic with right sided facial swelling for 2 years. Patient was diagnosed as a case of kimura disease of head and neck with cytological analysis and other investigations. Patient was managed medically with low dose oral corticosteroids and followed up for 6 months. This is a retrospective analysis of the efficacy of this single modality treatment. Patients with Kimura disease with no renal involvement, low dose oral corticosteroids can be tried as a single modality treatment, provided there are no contra indications for the same. Although long term follow up is essential to look for recurrence rates and associated long term benefits for the same.

    Abstract Hearing aids and implants are used to treat hearing loss, with cochlear implants being the most successful option for severe sensorineural hearing loss. Patients frequently use the internet as a trusted source of clinical information before committing to any therapeutic procedure, including receiving a cochlear implant. A health resource's readability and dependability influence its value to patients. Readability refers to how easily language can be understood, whereas reliability refers to the correctness and consistency of the information presented. JAMA standards and the DISCERN tool were used to assess the reliability of the websites listed. For readability analysis, the FRE, FKG and GFI were chosen. The acceptable readability level was set to < 7 for the FKG, GF score over 17 as the equivalent of college-level education and ≥ 80.0 for the FRE. The readability scores vary across the sources, suggesting a range of comprehension levels required for understanding the cochlear implant patient information found on Google. There was a statistical difference detected in Discern score between the groups (
