Accessory head of sternocleidomastoid-a case report

AbstractAs many important nerves emerge from the posterior border of sternocleidomastoid (SCM), it is important to know the morphological anatomy of sternocleidomastoid for surgical as well as radiological purpose. During routine dissection of head and neck for student demonstration, an accessory head of sternocleidomastoid was found arising from the superior surface of the middle third of the clavicle on the right side of the neck. Sternocleidomastoid is a key landmark as it divides the neck into anterior and lateral regions (anterior and posterior triangles respectively. Morphological variations arise due to the complexity of sequential development of any region. SCM is an important surgical landmark for clinicians. A well versed knowledge of its variations can avoid diagnostic and surgical complications.

Following lumbar epidural analgesia, a 26 year old primigravida developed right ptosis and other signs of paralysis of the right sympathetic supply to the head and neck. The case is discussed and compared with cases of Horner's syndrome which have followed epidural analgesia. It was probably due to differential sympathetic blockade.

Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a relatively uncommon, benign, histiocytic proliferative cutaneous disorder that typically affects children, with the head and neck being the most common sites. The present case report describes an isolated subcutaneous JXG in a 4-year-old girl who presented with a circumscribed oval mass located in the lower eyelid of the right eye. This lesion was histologically diagnosed as JXG after a surgical resection of the mass.

Abstract Plexiform schwannoma is a rare Schwann cell tumor that usually occurs in the head and neck. Here, we report a giant plexiform schwannoma (5.5 × 4.0 cm) in the right plantar aspect of the foot. This tumor presented from the dermis to the subcutaneous fat in the plantar aspect, forming a multiocular shape.

Ascending pharyngeal-vertebral anastomosis has been identified by angiography of the carotid artery in several cases. We present a case of ascending pharyngeal-vertebral anastomosis that was found incidentally in computed tomography angiography of the ascending pharyngeal artery. Images revealed that the anastomosis formed through the hypoglossal branch of the neuromeningeal trunk. The anastomosis seemed to be associated with hypoplasia of the right vertebral artery. Interventional radiologists should be aware of this dangerous anastomotic route of the APA to the VA. Discovery of hypoplasia of the major intracranial arteries before intra-arterial chemotherapy or embolization in head and neck area may avoid subsequent complications.

Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), a rare benign endothelial vascular lesion related to thrombosis, generally develops in fingers, trunk, head, and neck. Nevertheless, it has been rarely reported in the salivary gland. In this article, we report a case of IPEH of the right submandibular gland in a 37-year-old female whose initial impression was sialadenitis secondary to sialolithiasis. To date, our case may be the first well-documented report of IPEH in the submandibular gland. The patient underwent ablation of the submandibular gland, and no evidence of recurrence was found during follow-up.

Intraosseous Lesion

Introduction: Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is a rare bony lesion in the Head and Neck region. It is a non-odontogenic tumor never seen in any other bone of the skeleton. It is an intraosseous lesion consisting of cellular fibrous tissue that contains multiple foci of hemorrhage, aggregations of multinucleated giant cells and occasionally trabeculae of woven bone. Case Report: We report a case of a 50-year-old female patient with swelling on the right side of face for 4 months. Intraoral examination shows a mass in right lower jaw in the region of 45 and 46 edentulous areas. The swelling had smooth surface, firm and tender on palpation. There was no expansion of lingual region. The radiological examination revealed a well-defined multiloculated expansile and lytic lesion in the right mandible, extending from the 44 to 47 with a resorption of teeth 44. The patient underwent incisional biopsy and the diagnosis of CGCG and brown tumor of hyperparathyroidism was proposed. According to the clinical radiological and biological findings, the diagnosis of CGCG was confirmed. The enucleation of the lesion with the extraction of 44 was done. Discussion: Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is a benign intraosseous lesion of the head and neck with potential for aggressive and locally destructive behaviour. Lesions of the maxilla tend to expand more than those of the mandible due to the thinner cortices and spongy tissue of this location. Surgical removal is the most common treatment; however, it may be disfiguring in aggressive cases, especially for lesions located in the maxilla. Alternative treatments, such as intralesional corticosteroid injections, have been performed with satisfactory results.

Occurrence of accessory bellies of anterior belly of digastric muscle (ABD) in the submental region is not uncommon. However reporting of different pattern of accessory bellies is of tremendous clinical significance for head and neck surgeons, radiologists and plastic surgeons. Herein we report a rare asymmetrical variant of ABD in the suprahyoid region. Accessory bellies were observed on either side of midline. On the right side accessory belly had two segments; one segment extended between the lower part of the ABD and hyoid bone, other one extended between the digastric fossa of mandible to the body of hyoid bone. On the left side accessory belly extended between mylohyoid muscle and to the lower part of the ABD.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.16(3) 2017 p.461-463

Popliteal artery thrombosis may present as a complication of an osteochondroma located in the vicinity of the knee joint. This is a case report of a 26-year-old man with symptoms of the right lower extremity ischaemia without a previous history of vascular disease or trauma. Plain radiography, magnetic resonance angiography and Doppler ultrasonography documented the presence of an osteochondrous structure of the proximal tibial metaphysis, which displaced and compressed the popliteal artery, causing its occlusion due to intraluminal thrombosis..The patient was operated and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteochondroma.
