AbstractWe present an unusual cause of rhinolalia clausa secondary to an oropharyngeal mass. A 69-year-old male presented to the otorhinolaryngology clinic with a one year history of a ‘plummy’ voice. He had a longstanding history of severe ankylosing spondylitis. Examination revealed an obvious hyponasal voice and a smooth hard mass in the midline of the posterior nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal walls. Subsequent computed tomography scans and lateral plain neck X-ray showed a fracture dislocation of the odontoid peg, secondary to ankylosing spondylitis, which had eroded through the body of the C1 vertebra to lie anteriorly, resulting in the aforementioned impression into the pharyngeal mucosa. The radiological images, the role of the nasal airways in phonation and the causes of hyponasal speech are discussed.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by SARS-CoV-2, has overwhelmed health care systems in 2020, affecting millions of lives worldwide. There have, however, been few reports of the effect this virus has on the newborn population. This case study presents an infant with a vertical transmission of COVID-19, including symptoms, diagnosis, and management, to help inform care for the COVID-19-positive infant.

Von Willebrand

Von Willebrand disease (vWD) is an inherited disorder that slows and hinders the blood clotting process. The literature on evaluation, diagnosis, and referral of vWD for nurse practitioners working in primary care is scant. This article presents the history and pathophysiology of vWD and a case study of an individual with vWD, including diagnostic workup, appropriate referral to a hematologist, and ongoing care.
