This article discusses the personal experience of author in the management of rhinosporidiosis. Living in an endemic area of disease the author had the privilege of managing about 200 cases of rhinosporidiosis during 2005 to 2010. Commonest area of involvement happened to be nasal cavity. Inside the nasal cavity rhinosporidiosis was commonly seen arising from inferior meatus. All these patients gave history of bathing in ponds which could account for the common etiopathogenic factor. All the cases were managed by surgical resection followed by 9 months course of T Dapsone to minimize risk of recurrence. Despite these measures the author had a recurrence rate of about 19%. Imaging really provided a road map as majority of these lesions were removed endoscopically.

Bicoronal approach popularised by Tessier is one of the versatile approaches for skulland frontal region (1-6).In this article we present our experience regarding Bicoronal flapapproach in 3 different cases. Each patient had different pathologies in frontal region forwhich the same approach had been used. We also describe in detail about the incision, itsindications and contra indications, advantages and disadvantages. Incision was made in hairbearing area. Hence post operatively, cosmetic results were appealing in all the patients 9. Itpreserves the supraorbital neurovascular bundle, so complaints related to that are avoided. Inthis article, we discuss about the individual patient, merits and demerits of this particularapproach in each patient.

Waldeyer’s ring is a collection of lymphoid tissue at the entrance to the aerodigestive tract.Adenoids are present in the nasopharyx.They begin to regress from the age of 8 to 10 years1 and nearly always disappear by adulthood.

Para pharyngeal space tumors , most of them benign, account forsome 0.5% of tumors of head and neck. The importance of thesetumors lie mainly in two aspects- on the one hand, the difficultyof early diagnosis and on the other hand the extremecomplications of performing surgery in Para pharyngeal region.This article discusses a clinical case of recurrent parapharyngeal tumor. A 32 yr old man presented with a recurrentleft side neck swelling,4cm in diameter,which was subsequentlyconfirmed as schwannoma by FNAC. Para pharyngeal tumorwas successfully removed by mandibular swing approach and excision technique. His post operative course was uneventful and the pre operative clinical symptoms such as dysphagia and dysphnea completely resolved after surgery.
