Head and neck tuberculosis associated to sarcoidosis: A case report.

The distinction between tuberculosis and sarcoidosis presents sometimes a clinical challenge. Their sequential occurrence in the same patient is uncommon. We present the case of a 42-year-old female with a proven diagnosis of tuberculous lymphadenitis who has developed successively nasal tuberculosis and pulmonary sarcoidosis respectively after 10 and 14 months of antituberculosis treatment.

Non-recurrent laryngeal nerve and arteria lusoria: Rare and little known association.

Non-recurrent Laryngeal nerve is constantly associated with Arteria Lusoria. Knowing this association is the basis of predicting this condition preoperatively. Ultrasonography assessment before thyroid and parathyroid surgery should include identification of brachiocephalic trunk division.

Ectopic thyroid tissue: unusual differential diagnosis of cervical paraganglioma.

Ectopic thyroid tissue (ETT) lateral to the midline is rare. Its occurrence in the carotid bifurcation is exceptional. We present a 45 years woman who consulted with a slow growing right cervical swelling.

Intraparotid ductal ectasia: rare cause of parotid swelling.

A 41-year-old patient was hospitalised for a chronic right parotid mass. A cervical ultrasound revealed a cystic mass of the parotid. Cervical MRI found a ductal ectasia of the parotid and submandibular glands associated with a retention cyst of the right parotid.

Paradoxical reaction associated with cervical lymph node tuberculosis: predictive factors and therapeutic management.

Objectives: The aims of this study were to determine predictive factors of paradoxical reaction in patients with cervical lymph node tuberculosis (TB) and to discuss the therapeutic management of this condition.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was performed of 501 patients managed for cervical lymph node TB over a period of 12 years (from January 2000 to December 2011). Statistical data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 20.
