Background: Congenital saccular cyst of the larynx is a very rare cause of respiratory obstruction in the neonatal period and in older children. It can be a potentially life-threatening condition. It can also present less dramatically later in childhood as a voice disorder. Early diagnosis and treatment are very important to avoid the high mortality associated with undiagnosed cases.
Subjects And Method: I report here two cases of laryngeal saccular cyst with different clinical scenarios. The first patient presented immediately after birth with respiratory problems and the second presented later at an older age. Both patients were managed with endoscopic excision.
Conclusion: Congenital saccular laryngeal cyst remains an important cause of respiratory obstruction in the neonate albeit being rare. It is amenable to treatment with minimally invasive procedures.

Surgical Repair of a Giant Inferior Vena Cava Aneurysm Associated with a Congenital Vascular Anomaly: A Case Report.

Department of Vascular Surgery, University General Hospital of Evros, Democritus University of Thrace, Alexandroupolis, Greece.
Inferior vena cava aneurysms (IVCAs) are rare yet potentially lethal, especially if they are symptomatic or complicated. Among the IVCAs reported in the literature, only a few are associated with congenital vascular anomalies, including congenital IVC obstruction, tetralogy of Fallot, left-sided IVC, duplicated IVC, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome, and Klipper-Trenaunay syndrome. We present the case of an 8-cm symptomatic saccular IVCA in a patient with tetralogy of Fallot, treated successfully with surgical repair.

Objectives: To describe the inner ear sectors after an inner ear MRI protocol and search for the presence of endolymphatic pressure anomaly in patients presenting with a congenital CMV infection and audio-vestibular dysfunction.
Methods: A 3D FLAIR MRI sequence, 4 h after gadolinium injection, was performed in patients with sensory-neural hearing loss secondary to a congenital CMV infection in order to analyse the morphology of the endolymphatic space.
Results: Two patients presented with a unilateral SNHL and 4 patients a bilateral SNHL.
Treatment of Kommerell's diverticulum in rare aberrant aortic arch anatomy.
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent)

Department of Vascular Surgery, Baylor Scott and White The Heart Hospital, Plano, Texas, USA.
A Kommerell's diverticulum (KD) is a saccular aneurysmal outpouching at the origin of an aberrant subclavian artery. Due to a lack of data in the literature, there are no standardized guidelines for management of KD, and the diverse presentation of associated aberrant anatomy complicates evaluating the best modality of treatment. We present a 74-year-old woman who had a uniquely aberrant aortic arch with an aberrant retroesophageal right subclavian artery associated with a KD and a saccular aneurysm off the left subclavian artery who was treated via a hybrid approach, demonstrating the feasibility of this treatment modality in a patient with unique aberrant arch anatomy.

Congenital saccular cyst of the larynx is a rare cause of presentation of stridor and respiratory distress in newborns. The clinical presentation of a saccular laryngeal cyst often overlaps with other common causes of stridor, such as laryngomalacia, presenting a diagnostic dilemma for clinicians. We present a case of a term newborn infant referred for evaluation of inspiratory stridor since birth.

Article Synopsis
- - Coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) are rare but serious conditions marked by an abnormal enlargement of blood vessels, classified as either saccular or fusiform, with causes including atherosclerosis and Kawasaki disease.
- - Symptoms of CAAs can be absent or include chest pain, heart attacks, or sudden cardiac death; diagnosis is often confirmed through coronary angiography but may also involve CT scans.
- - Management of CAAs varies based on factors like size and symptoms, with treatment options ranging from medication to surgical intervention, illustrated by a case report of a 79-year-old man diagnosed with a right coronary artery aneurysm.
