Clinical Characteristics and Prognosis of Infants and Children <3 Years of Age With Thyroglossal Duct Cyst Complicated With a Parapharyngeal Mass: A Case Series Study.

Thyroglossal duct cysts (TGDCs) are congenital and developmental abnormalities in infants and young children. This retrospective case series study examined the characteristics of 7 patients <3 years (mean age, 1.9 years) with TGDC complicated with a parapharyngeal mass treated at one hospital between January 2019 and 2022.

Optic nerve injury-associated blunt cerebrovascular injury: Three case reports.

Rationale: Blunt cerebrovascular injury (BCVI) is a rare complication that may occur after craniocervical trauma. The current literature is limited to extracranial carotid artery injuries; however, no reports have been published on blunt intracranial carotid injury (BICI), especially those associated with optic nerve injury.

Patient Concerns: Here we report on 3 BICI cases that demonstrated optic nerve injuries after craniofacial injuries.
