Vallecular Cysts in Newborns: A Case Series Demystifying the Obscured Anomaly.

A vallecular cyst is a rare diagnosis in newborns presented with stridor, which poses a significant threat to the well-being of infants. This potentially life-threatening condition is associated with a range of complications, including respiratory distress, feeding difficulties, and failure to thrive. Through this case series, we aim to shed light on the suspicion of vallecular cysts in newborns presenting with stridor and the complexities encountered during their management, highlighting the importance of early recognition and intervention.

Unilateral False Cord Nodule Presenting As Hoarseness in a Young Patient.

Vocal cord nodules are benign laryngeal lesions seen in professional voice users. They are usually bilateral and are thought to occur due to submucosal edema and hemorrhage, with resultant fibrosis. False cord occurrences are very rare; hence we report a unique case of unilateral right false cord nodule.

Antibiotic Irrigation: A Promising Unconventional Method for Facial Carbuncle.

Carbuncle is conventionally treated with combinations of intravenous antibiotics and surgical intervention; be it saucerization or incision and drainage. Cosmesis outcome might be unfavorable following surgical intervention, especially when the facial region is involved. Skin grafting surgery may even be needed as a second-stage procedure for a larger wound.

A Rhinolith Turning Out to Be an Intranasal Tooth.

A tooth in the nasal cavity is an uncommon phenomenon. The exact mechanism is unclear, and patients may present with non-specific nasal symptoms. We encountered a 24-year-old patient with history of cleft palate repair, presenting to us with unilateral nasal discharge not improving with conventional medications.

A Rare Case of Pseudomembranous Tracheitis Presenting as Acute Stridor in a Patient after Extubation.

Pseudomembranous tracheitis is a rare life-threatening complication of endotracheal intubation. The exact mechanism of its formation is not well known, and it could mimic crusting or retained secretions in the trachea. We encountered a patient with history of recent intubation, presenting with acute stridor requiring emergency airway stabilization, and was eventually found to have pseudomembranous tracheitis.

Lateral Nasal Wall Respiratory Epithelial Adenomatoid Hamartoma (REAH): A Diagnostic Conundrum.

Introduction: This study aims to report a rare case of a respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma (REAH) of the lateral nasal wall that had initially presented as a fungating mass, similar to that of a sinonasal malignancy, and its complete removal from the lateral nasal wall.

Case Report: We report the case of a 58-year-old woman who presented to us with a chief complaint of recurrent right-sided epistaxis and nasal blockage for the past 4 months, which was progressively worsening. Histopathological examination confirmed the presence of a REAH instead of a sinonasal malignancy.
