  ABSTRACT: Branchial sinuses are one of the most common congenital anomalies present. They are usually unilateral; bilateral cases are present but are rare. The presentation of bilateral branchial sinus anomalies along with bilateral first arch anomalies is very rare. Here, we present a case of bilateral first arch anomalies co-existing with bilateral second arch anomalies in a patient with no related family history and no associated syndrome.

  Article: Prolonged foreign body impaction in the oesophagus.

  P K Rathore, A Raj, A Sayal, R Meher, B Gupta, M Girhotra
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: It is not unusual for a foreign body to be swallowed and become lodged in the oesophagus. It is, however, very unusual for such a foreign body to remain lodged for a period of six months. This particular case, a 37-year-old man, is interesting because of the length of time the foreign body, a denture, remained in the oesophagus without complications, its successful removal and the nature of the foreign body, which is prone to cause complications on prolonged stay or during removal.

  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: Leiomyomas are benign neoplasms that are thought to originate from the vascular smooth muscle. They have a propensity to arise from the gastrointestinal tract, female genital tract (uterus) and subcutaneous tissue. The nasal cavity is an uncommon site for a leiomyoma. We report a 24-year-old woman with a rare nasal leiomyoma. A brief review of the literature and histological variations are described.

• Article: Nasal dermoid with intracranial extension.

  R Meher, I Singh, S Aggarwal
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: Nasal dermoids are rare congenital anomalies, which usually present in early childhood as a midline nasal mass that requires surgical management. It is important to rule out any intracranial extension before subjecting the patient to surgery. We describe a case of nasal dermoid with intracranial extension. The embryology of the formation of the nasal dermoid, cyst and sinus, with the role of CT scan and MRI in diagnosing intracranial extension, and its management are discussed.
