Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease: A Rare Cause of Acute Laryngeal Dyspnea.

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is an uncommon benign and self-limited condition characterized mainly by fever and lymphadenopathy. It rarely presents with life-threatening symptoms. Our paper reports the case of a 32 years-old woman who presented with acute laryngeal dyspnea and important neck-swelling, that later proved to be secondary to KFD.

Bilateral Traumatic Facial Paralysis with Hearing Impairment and Abducens Palsy.

The temporal bone is often affected in basilar skull fractures. Fractures involving the petrous portion are particularly significant, as they may be associated with neurovascular sequelae. Bilateral facial paralysis secondary to bilateral temporal bone fracture is a rare clinical entity, even more so when associated with other cranial nerve damage such as abducens nerve paralysis and hearing impairment.
