Medial orbital protrusion--a potentially hazardous anomaly during endoscopic sinus surgery.

We report the case of a 57-year-old patient with a presumed developmental anomaly of the medial orbital wall. The resultant protrusion of orbital contents into the ethmoidal complex was clearly demonstrated on coronal computed tomography (CT) scans of the paranasal sinuses. This anomaly presents a high risk of iatrogenic injury to the medial rectus and orbit during functional endoscopic sinus surgery and has not previously been described.

Endoscopy↗

A clinic for the rapid processing of patients with neck masses.

Neck masses are common and may have serious underlying pathology. There is much anxiety and confusion in primary care as to which hospital department will provide the patient with the best service and the swiftest diagnosis. A clinic was set up at Wexham Park hospital to enable patients with neck masses to be seen early, and to undergo a one-stop specialist evaluation, ultrasound scan and fine needle aspiration biopsy. The clinic has yielded a wide variety of benign and malignant pathology. The first 100 patients are discussed and evaluated.

Biopsy, Needle↗

Case report: ultrasound diagnosis of polyorchidism.

A case of polyorchidism is presented where the ultrasound findings fulfilled all the criteria for the diagnosis of polyorchidism, with no evidence of an associated abnormality on clinical and ultrasound examinations. On the basis of these findings surgical exploration was not carried out.

Adult↗

An unusual cause of dysphagia.

We report a rare case of a bronchogenic cyst in an adult presenting with dysphagia. The benign nature of the lesion was established preoperatively by a series of radiological investigations. This enabled surgical planning and prediction of prognosis. The presentation, radiological findings and its differential diagnosis are discussed.
