Background Dacryocystitis (DC) is a disease most often caused by an obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct, leading to over-accumulation of tears in the lacrimal sac, epiphora, and aseptic inflammation. External and endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) aims to restore the tear pathway by creating a bypass from the lacrimal sac to the nose. The aim of this study is to investigate superior nasal septal deviation as a possible contributing factor in the incidence and treatment of dacryocystitis.

- Cicatricial pemphigoid (CP) is a rare, chronic disease that affects mucous membranes and causes scarring, sometimes leading to airway problems, especially in the larynx.
- A 74-year-old woman with CP had severe airway narrowing despite treatment, causing difficulty breathing.
- To prevent a tracheostomy, doctors performed a laser surgery that successfully improved her breathing, and follow-up evaluations showed no further issues.
Thornwaldt cyst is a rare cystic formation, located along the midline of the nasopharynx. We present the case of a 60-year-old man with impaired nasal breathing and a several months-long history of serous otitis media. His only concomitant disease was arterial hypertension.

Rarely, they arise in the sinonasal cavity, presenting as well-defined, homogeneous soft tissue masses, causing expansive bony changes. The significance of PAs is the possibility of giving rise to malignant carcinoma - "carcinoma ex-pleomorphic adenoma" (CXPA).

Patients And Methods: The files of patients with nodal neck metastases were retrospectively reviewed, covering a 5-year period (1991-1995). Chosen were cases with only regional recurrences of N0 primaries confined to the larynx and initially treated solely with resection of the primary.
