    Abstract A young adult male developed a left-sided pinna haematoma after a rugby injury. The haematoma reaccumulated after multiple attempts at drainage under local anaesthetic in emergency rooms and required incision and drainage in the theatre under general anaesthetic. Intraoperatively, multiple venous bleeding points were identified and these were controlled with bipolar diathermy. The wound was closed and dressed with bolster and crepe bandage. On day 7 postoperatively, the sutures and dressings were removed and the haematoma had not recurred. He returned to playing rugby on day 21 postoperatively and sustained another blunt impact to his left ear. He noticed new swelling over the posterior aspect of the same ear. This was drained via needle aspiration and there was no further reaccumulation of the pinna haematoma.

    Abstract A 15-year-old man presented with an acute history of facial swelling following a bout of forceful eructation after eating. Subcutaneous emphysema was noted on examination of his left face and neck. He was initially managed with intravenous antibiotics for suspected facial infection. A chest radiograph performed on day 3 of admission identified subcutaneous emphysema of the upper thorax and neck. CT with oral contrast confirmed extensive subcutaneous emphysema of neck, thorax and upper abdomen, with associated pneumomediastinum. The site of air leak was not identified. He subsequently underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and this was normal. Despite the delay in diagnosis, he remained haemodynamically stable, and repeated radiography showed improvement reflecting the benign course of this condition as described in existing literature. There are no previous published reports of spontaneous pneumomediastinum following eructation; therefore, high clinical suspicion should be maintained in this presentation.

    Abstract Purpose: Magnification with accurate optic reproduction of the surgical field is essential in otology surgery, but current technologies are subject to specific disadvantages. This study aims to evaluate a novel 3D digital stereo viewer, the Deep Reality Viewer (DRV), in otology surgery, in comparison to both a 2D monitor and the gold standard of microscopy.
    Methods: In this prospective clinical research study, ENT consultants and trainees evaluated visual and practical applications of the DRV. In visual assessment, participants (n = 11) viewed pre-recorded in vivo mastoid exploration displayed on a 2D monitor and the DRV screen. In practical assessment, participants (n = 9) performed otology surgical tasks on a cadaveric human head using both the microscope and DRV. Face, task-specific (TSV) and global content (GCV) outcomes were assessed using 5-point Likert scale questionnaires. Construct validity was assessed separately.
    Results: The DRV achieved the pre-determined validation threshold of 4 for all validation parameters in both visual and practical assessment. The DRV significantly outperformed the 2D monitor in fourteen of 16 parameters. In comparison to microscopy, there was no significant difference in 13 of 16 parameters, with the DRV significantly outperforming in the remaining 3: defining anatomy (GCV), assessing middle ear anatomy (TSV) and overall TSV. Construct validity was not demonstrated for either technology.
    Conclusion: The DRV achieved the validation threshold for all parameters, and outperformed the 2D monitor and microscopy in several parameters. This validates the DRV for performing otological procedures, and suggests that it would be a useful alternative to the gold standard of microscopy in otology surgery.

    Abstract A man in his twenties with a history of recurrent sinusitis was urgently referred to the emergency department (ED) by an out-of-hours general practitioner following a 2-day history of increasing right eye pain, redness and swelling after a week of coryzal symptoms. He denied visual impairment and any history of recent dental pain or procedures. Initial assessment in ED noted fever, tachycardia and hypotension. Video consultation with ophthalmologist in the ED identified proptosis, periorbital erythema and chemosis with full eye movement solely affecting the right eye. Visual acuity of 6/6 was confirmed in both eyes. After review by the ear, nose and throat (ENT) team, a diagnosis of sinogenic right orbital cellulitis was made, empirical antibiotics started and care transferred to the ENT team for immediate surgical intervention. 48 hours postoperatively, the patient acutely deteriorated, developing ophthalmoplegia and visual acuity of 6/95 in the right eye. Repeat imaging demonstrated a deteriorating picture and urgent surgery was organised at a neighbouring hospital's specialist ENT unit combined with a change to his antibiotics. On day 4, 1 day following transfer, an anaerobic bacterium,
