Sarcoidosis rarely affects the head and neck and represents a diagnostic challenge to the otolaryngologist. The signs and symptoms of sarcoidosis in this area are not specific and can mimic much more common disorders. Biopsy is usually necessary to make the diagnosis. Appropriate evaluations and referrals should be made once there is suspicion of sarcoidosis. Steroids remain the mainstay of the therapeutic options; however, newer agents are being used more frequently. Long-term treatment and follow-up are necessary, because the disease tends to progress and to respond unpredictably to treatment.
Paediatric nasogastric tube placement can occasionally be difficult to perform. A unique case in a child is described where the tip of the nasogastric tube managed to travel via the Eustachian tube through the attic and into the mastoid cavity of the middle ear. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this has never been reported in the literature before.
