[Diagnostic and treatment of necrotizing cervical fascitis. Clinical course after a Ludwig angina].

The Ludwig angina is an infection of the base of the mouth and submandibular region, frecuently after a dental extraction or a piece in bad state. When it surpassees the milohioid muscle it extends dissecting the superficial aponeurotic planes, and can evolve to a necrotisant fascitis. We present the case of a 67 years old man with a painful tumefaction of the mouth base and submandibular region. The CT reflected an heterogenous submaxilar lesion that extended by the deep cervical fascia introducing itself in the thorax. Under antibiotic treatment the pus was drained by cervicotomy, with daily cures during 3 weeks.

[Supernumerary nostril].

Supernumerary nostril is an extremely rare congenital anomaly as a result of aberrant embryological development. Frequently it leads to a narrow cavity; in the end, opening into the nearest nasal cavity or just stops blindly after a short course. It can appear isolated or in association with other anomalies. Treatment is always surgical. We present a case of a triple nostril, associated to a congenital auricular hypoplasia and we also review the existing literature.

[Paraganglioma of the vagus. A case report and review of literature].

The vagal nerve paraganglioma is a rare tumor over all the head and neck tumours. It presents with a insidious clinic, appearing usually as a asymptomatic laterocervical mass of low growth pattern. We present a case of a 53 years old woman with a left of painless laterocervical mass that produced cough with the palpation. We pretend to review the most relevant aspects of the diagnosis and treatment of the paraganglioma and therefore include this pathology in the differential diagnosis of laterocervical tumor.

[Laryngeal neurofibroma. A case report and literature review].

Neurofibroma is a rare pathology on the larynx. We distinguish two types of neurofibromas: plexiform and not plexiform in which the difference is at the cytoarchitectural level. The plexiform type is usually associated to the Von Recklinhausen disease, also know as neurofibromatosis type 1. They usually affect the supraglottic structure, and more frequently they are described in aritenoids, ariepiglottic folds, and posterior commissure. We present a case located at the glottic level of plexiform type, with a postsurgical follow-up of five years. We make a revision of the aethiopathogenesis, evolution and prognostic of these pathology in the bibliography.
