A newborn presented with acute airway obstruction secondary to a compound odontoma of the hard palate/nasal floor. This is the first case recorded in the literature. We review the pathology of compound odontomas and discuss the management of this rare and interesting case.

Although nasal polyposis is a common clinical entity, there is limited literature describing the rare presentation of sudden prolapse of a massive nasal polyp resulting in an airway emergency in an adult. We present the first case report to our knowledge of a patient without any preceding sinonasal symptoms or history of anticoagulation who experienced acute upper airway obstruction due to sudden hemorrhage and prolapse of a large nasal polyp. Based on our experience treating this patient, we discuss special considerations in all phases of care to ensure safe and effective management of such an exceptional clinical scenario.

AbstractBackground:Takotsubo cardiomyopathy has been associated with the use of catecholamines; however, its development after the use of nebulised adrenaline for the management of acute airway obstruction has not previously been described.Case report:A 66-year-old man with squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx, with tumour–node–metastasis staging of T3N2cM0, confirmed by biopsy and computed tomography, presented to the emergency department with acute airway obstruction. He was treated twice with nebulised adrenaline and intravenous dexamethasone. After a period of 24 hours, cardiac rhythm changes were noted on telemetry. A 12-lead electrocardiogram showed widespread T-wave inversion and QT prolongation suggestive of an acute coronary syndrome. Coronary angiography demonstrated no coronary artery disease, but left ventricular angiography showed marked apical ballooning and apical wall akinesia consistent with a diagnosis of takotsubo cardiomyopathy.Conclusion:Takotsubo cardiomyopathy can mimic true ischaemic heart disease and the diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion in patients managed with nebulised adrenaline.

AbstractMüllerian adenosarcoma is a very rare gynecological disease, comprising 5% of uterine sarcomas. Extragenital localizations are even rarer. We report a very interesting case of a 27-year-old woman complaining of pelvic pain, with a subsequent diagnosis of extragenital Müllerian adenosarcoma. This is the first case reported in the literature with a complete and wide imaging description. Even if rare, Müllerian adenosarcoma should be hypothesized in case of young female patients presenting with suspicious pelvic mass.

Tracheostomy remains the primary method of treatment of acute airway obstruction due to malignant invasion and compression of the trachea. However, the development of tracheal stents has provided an alternative effective treatment modality. This case report and literature review highlights the benefits of intra-luminal stenting, including resolution of distressing obstructive symptoms, and subsequent improvement in quality of life.

Abstract We here discuss an interesting case of COVID-19 patient suffering from ruptured right supra-clinoid intracranial aneurysm with congenital absence of right ICA. COVID-19 has been responsible for over 175 million reported cases and over 3.8 million deaths world-wide. Severe cases of COVID-19 is characterized with cytokine outburst and hyperinflammation, platelet activation, endothelial dysfunction and sepsis related coagulopathy. This predisposes for thromboembolic events and aneurysm formation and rupture. Agenesis, aplasia and hypoplasia of internal carotid artery (ICA) is a rare congenital anomaly. ICA agenesis is associated with increased incidence of intracranial aneurysm as compared with general population.
