A facial medial dermoid cyst in a 7-year-old male child is presented along with its Computed tomography (CT) imaging scans. The CT scan images depict clear nasal bone indentation with no erosion. Dermoid cysts are a subset of benign heterotopic neoplasms termed choristomas and periorbital dermoid cysts account for up to 9-10% of paediatric of head and neck dermoid cysts. The periorbital dermoid may occur in two variants as per the plane of location: anterior (superficial) or deep. The presented case in this report is of anterior variety at frontonasal suture.

Aggressive Tumors

Ossifying fibromas form a part of the spectrum of fibro-osseous lesions of the jaws. They are rare, benign, nonaggressive tumors that are commonly seen in head and neck region. This paper presents the case of a 40-year-old female patient presented with minimal clinical symptoms, diagnosed to be suffering from aggressive form of ossifying fibroma of maxilla involving the maxillary sinus and ethmoid sinus. This paper emphasizes the importance of computed tomography in diagnosing such unapparent aggressive tumors.

Congenital clefts of the larynx are rare and usually found dorsally. This case report describes a patient with a partial anterior nonfusion, or ventral cleft, of the thyroid cartilage. This was first noted on computed tomography of the larynx used for delineation of carcinoma and was confirmed by horizontal whole mount histologic sections of the resected larynx. The thyroid cartilage suggested arrested fusion of the laminae in the middle to late embryonic period. This patient had an adult form of this rarely reported anomaly and the first, to our knowledge, detected with CT scan.

Dermoid cysts of the lateral neck are rare, with the majority of head and neck dermoids occurring in the midline. The demonstration of a fat-fluid level on MRI or CT is diagnostic for a cervical dermoid cyst. The treatment of choice remains surgical excision.

Segmental Infarction

Segmental omental infarction (SOI) is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain. Depending on the site of infarction, it mimics conditions like appendicitis, cholecystitis, and diverticulitis. Before the widespread use of Computed Tomography (CT), the diagnosis was usually made intraoperatively. SOI produces characteristic radiological appearances on CT scan; hence, correct diagnosis using this form of imaging may prevent unnecessary surgery. We present the case of a young woman who was treated conservatively after accurate radiological diagnosis.

Introduction: Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal obstruction. Diagnosis is confirmed via computed tomography (CT) scan showing acute angulation at the origin of superior mesenteric artery compressing on the duodenum causing proximal dilatation of the second part of duodenum.

In this report a case of actinomycosis in a five-month-old Holstein calf is described. The patient displayed a hard and immobile swelling in the mandible and fever. Computed tomography (CT) imaging of the skull was performed under deep sedation and revealed an asymmetrical appearance of the mandible with the presence of intra-mandibular hypodense lesions. Haematologic and serum biochemical profiles revealed leukocytosis, neutrophilia, hypoalbuminaemia and hypergammaglobulinaemia. Treatment consisted of flushing the lesion and administration of antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The calf responded to therapy and had recovered almost completely four months later. The present case indicates that CT is an effective non-invasive means of identifying mandibular lesions in cattle.

Objective Preoperative single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) imaging may aid in the localization of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) in cutaneous head and neck malignancy and has been rigorously evaluated for deep cervical lymph nodes. The purpose of this study was to assess the sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value (PPV) of SPECT/CT for preoperative localization of nodal basins superficial to the sternocleidomastoid muscle, with comparison to deep nodal basins of the neck. Study Design Retrospective review. Setting Tertiary care center. Subjects and Methods SPECT/CT images obtained preoperatively for patients undergoing SLN biopsy for cutaneous head and neck malignancy between June 2015 and June 2016 were reviewed by a blinded nuclear medicine physician and head and neck surgeon. SPECT/CT imaging was compared to intraoperatively determined SLN location via gamma probe. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values were determined and compared for superficial (external jugular [EJ] and parotid) nodes vs level II nodes. Results Fifty-three patients were included in the study. Most had cutaneous melanoma (69.8%). The PPV of EJ/parotid node identification by SPECT/CT imaging was 85.7%, specificity was 88.9%, and sensitivity was 69.2%. Comparatively, the PPV for level II nodes was 76.9%, specificity was 50%, and sensitivity was 85.7%. No significant difference in SPECT/CT predictive value was identified between EJ/parotid and level II node identification ( P > .05). Conclusion SPECT/CT imaging has strong specificity and positive predictability for preoperative localization of SLN superficial to the sternocleidomastoid muscle in cutaneous head and neck malignancy. SPECT/CT imaging may be a useful radiographic aid for preoperative SLN mapping in this patient population.

Head and neck dermoid cysts are lesions relatively rare, which usually occur during childhood as solitary lesions. They are often identified and surgically removed at birth, being uncommon in adults. A 23-year-old male presented with a congenital tumor of the anterior fontanelle, which histopathological examination revealed a dermoid cyst. Surgical intervention is the treatment of choice to remove this lesion. The objective of this study is to report the case, once this type of lesion is rare in adults.

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.

Rare Case Report

<p class="abstract">In this case report a bony swelling was noticed clinically which had a cystic presentation in CT imaging. After surgical removal it was sent for histopathological examination and was diagnosed as dermoid cyst. Dermoid cyst is rarely encountered lesions of head and neck region so most frequently misdiagnosed. Though this lesion is very rare but should be considered as a differential diagnosis while evaluation cystic lesions of head and neck region.</p>
