Background And Objectives: CSF shunt placement for hydrocephalus and other etiologies has arguably been the most life-saving intervention in pediatric neurosurgery in the past 6 decades. Yet, chronic shunting remains a source of morbidity for patients of all ages. Neuroendoscopic surgery has made shunt independence possible for newly diagnosed hydrocephalic patients.

Introduction: Acquired external auditory canal (EAC) atresia is a very rare condition, especially due to direct trauma. The challenge lies in the difficulty of treatment and the tendency to recur even after a long period. Here we present a case report of treatment of recurrent EAC atresia resulting from a dog bite using a silicone stent prosthesis.

Internal carotid artery ectasia (ICAE) is a rare vascular abnormality characterized by dilation and tortuosity of the internal carotid artery (ICA) beyond normal limits. ICAE is typically asymptomatic but can manifest with symptoms such as headache and dizziness. The exact cause of ICAE remains uncertain, but both congenital and acquired factors, including trauma, have been implicated.

Benign airway stenosis often poses a therapeutic challenge and requires a multidisciplinary approach involving interventional pulmonologists and thoracic surgeons. We report the case of a man who presented with thoracic trauma following a road traffic accident. His chest X-ray showed complete collapse of the right lung, while screening flexible bronchoscopy revealed pooled secretions and asymmetric mid-to-lower tracheal stenosis.
