Objective: To describe a rare case of a paraneoplastic neurological syndrome associated with tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma. Design: Case report. Patient: A 51-year-old female patient with paraneoplastic neurological disorder characterized by rapid and progressive bilateral facial paresis, diplopia, arm and leg weakness and paresthesia. Interventions: Symptomatic therapy for pain, surgery and radiotherapy for cancer.

Background: Cleft lip and/or palate is the most common congenital craniofacial anomaly. Otitis media with effusion is almost universally present in young children with a cleft palate. OME results in a conductive hearing loss and -if persistent- often requires the placement of ventilation tubes or adjustment of hearing aids in selected cases. Also, a higher incidence of middle ear sequelae e.g. tympanic membrane perforation, chronic otitis media with or without cholesteatoma is reported in the cleft palate population.

Introduction: Based on the clinical and neurophysiologic similarities between the myofascial pain and the facial palsy’s maintained muscle contraction, we considered treating the latter with dry needling the trigger points found in the physical examination.

This is the case report of a 20year old female, affected by Binders Syndrome reported to our hospital and was operated for maxillary hypoplasia using modifi cations of the standard Anterior Maxillary Distraction (AMD) device. This helped in rehabilitation of the patients anterior and lateral profi les; thereby giving a satisfactory cosmetic appearance to the patient.

Background and Importance: Choristomas of the internal auditory canal and cerebellopontine angle are rare, non-neoplastic lesions that mimic vestibular schwannomas and may subsequently be subject to treatment by surgical resection or radiosurgery. Their management is conservative with observation. Surgical intervention has been associated with expected hearing loss that is counter to the goal of surgery. On the other hand, radiosurgery is not indicated in such pathology and will also lead to eventual hearing loss.

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with or without nasal polyp is one of the most prevalent disease affecting worldwide [1]. This disease cause a signifi cant impact n a person quality of life, with the severity of symptoms comparable to those with debilitating diseases such as diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [2]. Woakes’ syndrome, fi rst described by Woakes in 1885 which is also better known as ethmoiditis, is a rare condition causing disfi gured facial appearance by extensive nasal polyposis growth in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses [3]. It was further elaborated by Société Française de Laryngology withe the following characteristics; deformed nasal pyramid due to hypertrophic process, ethmoiditis, childhood disease of bilateral nasal polyps in the middle meatus and failure in treatment with recurrences [3,4].
