A rare case of extracranial schwannoma in the masticator space removed by endoscopic assisted transoral approach (EATA).

ENT Department, Ospedali Riuniti Marche Nord, Fano-Pesaro, Italy.
Background: Extracranial schwannomas, particularly those arising from the masticator space, are rare entities. Given the challenges in pre-operative diagnosis and the potential for misdiagnosis, accurate localization and differential diagnosis are crucial for optimal surgical planning.
Case Report: A 42-year-old woman underwent a head and neck MRI for unrelated reasons and was incidentally found to have a mass in the left masticator space.
A case of fatal disseminated infection with masticator space abscess caused by ESBL-producing K57-ST412 hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae.

A 70-year-old Japanese man with well-controlled diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease was hospitalized for an examination of acute renal failure and elevated inflammatory reactions. He had a history of Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteremia without extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) production five months earlier. The patient was found to have bacteremia due to hypermucoviscous ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae, and developed septic shock, multiple cerebral infarctions, and an abscess in the left masticatory muscle space.

Superior ophthalmic vein thrombosis (SOVT) is a rare phenomenon caused by both septic and aseptic etiologies. Individuals suffering from SOVT commonly present with ophthalmoplegia, proptosis, chemosis, and impaired vision. The superior ophthalmic vein is a valveless vein that drains into the cavernous sinus; for this reason, SOVT can present with dire complications such as cavernous sinus thrombosis in addition to debilitating permanent ophthalmoplegia and permanent vision loss if left untreated.

Department of Health Sciences, Hokkaido Chitose College of Rehabilitation, Chitose, 066-0055, Japan.
This study analyzes the effects of bioclimate and masticatory factors on the regional variability of human cranial forms across 150 ethnic groups worldwide. Morphometric variables were generated using principal component analysis applied to 3D homologous models. Relationships between cranial form and bioclimate (temperature and precipitation) and masticatory factors (infratemporal space) were tested considering sampling bias due to past population movements during the late Pleistocene and/or early- to mid-Holocene.

Ankyloglossia, also named tongue-tie, is an innate developmental anomaly where the lingual frenum appears anchored to the sublingual space. Even though it is not considered a major congenital condition, it can create a variety of problems, such as difficulty in feeding newborns, difficulty in mastication, speech problems, poor oral hygiene, malocclusion, and hindrance in social interaction because of restricted tongue movements. Lingual frenectomy is the treatment of choice.
