Acute suppurative thyroiditis are infrequent infections, although their early and proper management are needed to reduce complications and recurrences. We review the clinical presentation, etiology, clinical outcome and management of 9 cases of thyroid infections diagnosed in children, and analyze the existence of predisposing factors for these infections.

- The study analyzed outcomes and complications related to different surgical techniques for treating serious complications of acute mastoiditis in pediatric patients.
- Among the 417 patients studied, 112 had severe intratemporal and intracranial complications, primarily subperiosteal abscesses, often treated with myringotomy and transtympanic drainage.
- Most patients had favorable outcomes with low rates of reoperation and complications, although some experienced issues like neurological sequelae and hearing loss, highlighting the importance of surgical technique depending on the severity of the condition.
Background: Preliminary evidence suggests that children are just as likely to become infected with SARS-CoV-2 as adults but are less prone to developing severe clinical conditions. However, there are pediatric inflammatory conditions that have also been encountered. The aim of this report is to determine whether there is a relationship between COVID-19 and severe infections in the ear, nose, throat, and deep cervical area (ENT) in pediatric populations.

As a secondary objective, we aim to assess the rate of contagion in the first and the second Covid-19 wave in Spain among Otorhinolaryngologists and the regional distribution by ENT-Departments.
Methods: Study design and population: This is a prospective observational study in a cohort of 975 Otolaryngologists from 87 ENT Departments conducted from March 25 to November 17 in our collaborative group, COVID ORL ESP.
Background: The question of an optimal strategy and outcomes in COVID-19 tracheostomy has not been answered yet. The critical focus in our case study is to evaluate the outcomes of tracheostomy on intubated COVID-19 patients.
Methods: A multicentric prospective observational study of 1890 COVID-19 patients undergoing tracheostomy across 120 hospitals was conducted over 7 weeks in Spain (March 28 to May 15, 2020).
Hemangiomas in infancy are the most frequent benign tumors of the head and neck in children. However, intranasal location is very rare. By obstructing the entire nasal fossa, it produces a problem of breathing difficulty in the neonatal period, which leads to therapeutic measures being taken in the first months of life.

- Septal haematoma can develop after nasal trauma and, if not treated, may lead to a more severe condition known as a nasal septal abscess.
- A case study of a 10-year-old male revealed that his untreated septal haematoma progressed to an abscess, resulting in cartilage damage and subsequent nasal deformities.
- Early intervention is critical in nasal trauma cases to prevent haematomas from becoming abscesses, which can cause long-term structural issues in the nose due to cartilage necrosis.
