A non-typical variant of Y-type urethral duplication has been described in the article. In this case, the surgical treatment decision was not difficult. Y-type urethral duplication was exposed up to the sinus, and its dissection was performed, followed by urethroplasty. This variant of Y-type urethral duplication has not been described in the world literature available to us, and, in our opinion, it is important for gaining experience in treating rare variants of congenital anomalies of the urethra.

AbstractIsolated congenital anomalies of the ossicles are rare. The majority of cases of congenital conductive hearing loss secondary to middle-ear anomalies have other associated defects, such as atresia, microtia and craniofacial deformities.We present a rare case of isolated congenital stapes suprastructure fixation, where a monocrural stapes with a mobile footplate was attached to the promontory by bony synostosis. There was no stapedius muscle nor pyramidal process. The incus and malleus were of normal configuration. Mobilization of the stapes from the promontory resulted in improvement in hearing. We believe this is the first reported case of such an abnormality. A review of the world literature of isolated stapes suprastructure ankylosis and the classifications of minor congenital anomalies are discussed.

AbstractObjective:We present an extremely rare case of congenital cholesteatoma in identical twins.Method:Case report of congenital cholesteatoma in identical twins, and a literature review, are presented.Results:Both cases presented to the ENT out-patient clinic, but with different clinical pictures. Both were managed surgically.Conclusion:Congenital cholesteatoma presents as a whitish mass in the middle ear, with an intact tympanic membrane. It is a rare entity comprising between 3.7 and 24 per cent of total cholesteatoma cases. The key to its diagnosis is the absence of previous ear infection, ear surgery and local trauma. To our best knowledge, this paper represents the first report in the world literature of congenital cholesteatoma in identical twins.

AbstractObjective:We report an extremely rare case of congenital cholesteatoma affecting the occipital bone.Methods:We present a case report, plus a review of the world literature on similar lesions.Results:This case report describes the presentation and treatment of a congenital cholesteatoma arising in an apparently unique location within the occipital bone, with no effect on middle-ear structure or function. The different imaging characteristics of this lesion are described and illustrated. The discussion centres on the differentiation of this lesion from intradiploic epidermoid cysts, more commonly described in the neurosurgical literature. The possible methods of pathogenesis are discussed, along with treatment suggestions.Conclusion:Congenital cholesteatomas and intradiploic epidermoid cysts are indistinguishable both histologically and radiologically, and would appear to be the same disease.

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) is a rare soft tissue tumor and a GIST arising from the mesocolon is even rarer and sparsely reported in the world literature. Herein we report one such case that we encountered in our clinical practice and review the literature on the management of such a rare case.

Lupus erythematosus is a classic example of an immunologically mediated condition and is one of the most common of the so called “collagen vascular” or connective tissue diseases. Lupus erythematosus was first described by Biett in 1828 and Kaposi in 1872. Development of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) can occur in DLE, with about 20 cases reported in the world literature to-date, which led the World Health Organization (WHO) to classify DLE as one of the precancerous conditions. Thus malignant changes in such a condition must be given utmost importance. This article focuses on a rare case of DLE with epithelial dysplasia.

AbstractObjective:We report two cases in which dysphagia and aspiration, caused by anterior cervical osteophytes, were so severe that surgical resection was performed.Method:Case reports and a review of the world literature concerning dysphagia caused by anterior cervical osteophytes, in regard to pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment.Results:Two patients, aged 71 and 70 years, had long-standing, slowly progressive dysphagia and aspiration; one patient had recurrent episodes of aspiration pneumonia as a result. Both patients were diagnosed on videofluoroscopy with large bony anterior cervical osteophytes. Immediate relief of symptoms was obtained after resection of the osteophytes via an anterolateral, extrapharyngeal approach. Anterior cervical osteophytes are relatively common in the elderly, although not frequently diagnosed, and are mostly seen in cases of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis. If therapy is indicated it is mainly conservative; resection is rarely needed.Conclusion:In patients with anterior cervical osteophytes, surgical treatment is indicated only for selected cases with large, bony osteophytes and severe symptoms.

Subgaleal Space

A case is reported of swelling over the mastoid process due to subgaleal abscess possibly secondary to trivial cutaneous trauma. The diagnosis was difficult as subgaleal abscess is an extremely rare condition especially after the advent of the antibiotic era. The route of entry of the infection to the subgaleal space was unclear as there was no skin puncture. The absence of substantial trauma excluded subgaleal haematoma as a precondition. We would like to discuss the possible aetiologies and the management of this rare case in the light of the limited information available in the world literature.

AbstractObjective:We report an extremely rare case of primary otoscleroma.Method:We present a case report and a review of the world literature concerning otoscleroma.Results:An adult woman presented with chronic suppurative otitis media with tubotympanic disease and conductive hearing loss. On mastoid exploration, dark granulations were seen, which were identified as otoscleroma on histopathological examination. The patient responded well to streptomycin.Conclusion:To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of primary otoscleroma in the world literature. This case indicates that Frisch's bacillus can also spread to the middle ear.

AbstractObjective:We report a rare case of sialadenoma papilliferum.Method:A case report of sialadenoma papilliferum is presented.Results:A 67-year-old woman presented with recurrent epistaxis. She was found to have an exophytic, well circumscribed mass on the nasal septum mucosa. The lesion was completely excised. A diagnosis of sialadenoma papilliferum was made based on the characteristic histological pattern. Follow up showed no evidence of recurrence. Subsequently, the patient remained well without complaint of epistaxis.Conclusion:To our knowledge, this is the first report in the world literature of sialadenoma papilliferum of the nasal cavity. This case indicates that this rare tumour can present with epistaxis, and can be resolved by means of total excision.

The aim of the current study is to present the possibilities for minimally invasive percutaneous procedures for surgical treatment of osteoporotic compression fractures of the vertebrae (OVCF), expressed in vertebroplasty and balloon kyphoplasty. We compare their therapeutic effect with that of conservative treatment and present conclusions from the world literature regarding the safety of these procedures. Material and methods: We used data from our surgical experience for the last 10 years. We took into account the relevant literature from the global PubMed database and Google Scholar to present randomized clinical trials and meta-analyzes comparing OVCF treatment methods. We analyzed those who assessed the quality of life, pain, and complications of treatment. Results: The world experience shows an excellent result in the short term from the minimally invasive percutaneous procedures. In the long term some authors note a significant overlap of the results with the conservative methods. All studies show a low risk profile in the surgical treatment, as well as comparable results between the two main procedures - vertebroplasty and balloon kyphoplasty. Conclusion: Both vertebroplasty and balloon kyphoplasty have a statistically significant advantage in terms of final clinical indicators compared to conservative treatment at low and clinically justified risks. No statistically significant differences were found between the surgical techniques on most of the studied criteria, which would justify the significantly higher cost of kyphoplasty.
