Common Risk Factors

A 76-year-old man presented with neck swelling associated with pain and fever. On examination, there was a submental neck swelling. His initial CT scan showed multiloculated abscess centred in the left submandibular gland. He remained febrile despite on intravenous ceftriaxone and metronidazole. A repeat CT scan revealed significant worsening with multiple pockets of fluids with gas locules in the deep neck spaces. He subsequently underwent neck exploration and drainage of neck abscess. Extensive necrotic tissue was found intraoperatively and thick pus was drained from the bilateral parapharyngeal, submental spaces and anterior mediastium. Pus culture profusely grew of Eggerthella species. Patient recovered well following further intravenous antibiotic therapy. Diabetes mellitus and odontogenic infections are the common risk factors in deep neck infections. Our patient is however non-diabetic and edentulous. Current case is presented to serve as a rare case of neck abscess with unusual cause in a non-diabetic patient.

Predisposing Conditions

AbstractA case of a deep neck abscess caused by Salmonella enteritidis in a 29-year-old previously undiagnosed diabetic patient is reported. Review of relevant literature has shown 11 cases of Salmonella neck abscess. Predisposing conditions include immunosuppression due to any cause. Salmonella sp. should be included in the differential diagnosis of head and neck abscesses in predisposed individuals and treated accordingly.

Ct Data

Background: Supernumerary kidney is an accessory organ with its own encapsulated parenchyma, blood vessels and ureters, either separated from the normal kidney or connected to it via fibrous tissue and ectopic kidney is a migration abnormality of the kidney. Here, we have evaluated a rare case of the supernumerary and ectopic kidney with DMSA, MAG3 and also CT fusion of the images. Methods: The absolute divided renal function was calculated for each kidney by DMSA. The MAG3 scintigraphy showed no obstruction in the ureteropelvic junction. Furthermore, the renogram curve and Tmax and time to ½ values were assessed. Two months after the conventional scintigraphies, the patient was referred to a CT scan and the fusion of DMSA SPECT and CT data was generated on a workstation. Results: The ectopic supernumerary kidney was functioning very well except a small hypoactive area, visible on DMSA, which was possibly a minimal pelvicalyceal dilatation. However, consequent CT scan did not show any pathology. Conclusion: It is important to evaluate particularly complicated or rare cases with multimodality systems with 3D or fusion techniques for the accurate diagnosis.

Thyroglossal duct cysts are most common congenital anomalies in thyroid development and are usually presented with midline neck swelling. The co-existence of carcinoma in thyroglossal duct cyst’s is extremely rare. We, herein present a case of primary papillary carcinoma arising from thyroglossal duct cyst in a 45 year old woman.

Systemic Disorder

According to a review of literatures, silicone-induced lymphadenopathy occurs in association with rupture or silicone leakage. It has been reported to cause inflammation, neuropathy or systemic disorder. It should therefore be detected both correctly and promptly. The author experienced a rare case of a 38-year-old woman presenting with axillary silicone lymphadenopathy due to rupture of a silicone gel-filled breast implant. The patient received primary augmentation mammaplasty using a breast implant at other hospital; the current case highlights the importance of an ultrasoundassisted diagnosis of silicone lymphadenopathy before reoperation in a patient with rupture.

<p class="abstract"><span lang="EN-IN">Thyroid abscess is a rare clinical entity which is attributable to its unique anatomical and physical characteristics which makes it resistant to infection. Thyroid gland is resistant to infection because of its rich blood supply and lymphatic drainage, an iodine rich environment and separation of the gland from other structures of neck by facial planes. In our case report, 5 years old male patient presented with a painful anterior midline neck swelling which was diagnosed as thyroid abscess caused by <em>Enterococcus</em> species. The patient was successfully treated with surgical drainage and appropriate antibiotics</span><span lang="EN-IN">. </span></p>

Current Case

Although tuberculosis-related to sudden death is recognize, complication of tuberculosis is rarely reported in the literature of the Middle East. A rare case of tuberculosis-related to sudden death was presented in a 28-year-old Saudi woman who was admitted to our hospital for pulmonary tuberculosis. Although anti-tuberculosis medication was started, she died suddenly; 7 days later, most probably due to a massive hemoptysis. The literature on tuberculosis-related to sudden death in relation to the current case have been reviewed and discussed in this report.
