Osteoma Originating from Mastoid Cortex

Mastoid osteomas are very rare and defined as benign masses growing gradually in size. Temporal bone computed tomography is the examination of choice for their diagnosis and differentiation. Surgical resection is used to treat mastoid osteomas causing cosmetic deformity. Prognosis is good in cosmetic and curative aspects, and recurrences are very rare. No case of malign transformation has been reported. In this study, an adult patient who was treated because of a mastoid osteoma is presented with review of the current literature

Bilateral Nasolabial Cyst as a Rare Case Report

The etiology, clinical features, and treatment of an extremely rare case of a bilateral nasolabial cyst have been evaluated in this report. A 60-year-old female presented to our clinic with a pain-free swelling above the upper lip for a year and obstruction of the left nasal cavity for two months. On undergoing a physical ENT examination, she showed bulging of both nasal fossae and effacement of the bilateral nasolabial groove with a fluctuating smooth mass. A paranasal sinus CT scan showed a smooth, ovoid mass of 20×13 mm at the right side and 26×22 mm at the left side occupying the floor of the nasal fossa and restricted to the soft parts of the premaxillary region, without any bony destruction. The patient underwent surgical excision under general anesthesia via sublabial approach. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of bilateral nasolabial cyst. The patient was asymptomatic during 18-month of postoperative follow-up. Bilateral nasolabial cysts should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic masses of the nasal vestibule and deformities of the premaxillary region. Although endonasal endoscopic cyst marsupialization is a relatively new treatment, surgical resection with the sublabial approach is the treatment of choice

Accidentally diagnosed ocular abnormalities identified during close screening for retinopathy of prematurity

Purpose To report the variety of ocular findings which have been identified serendipitously during the screening for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in a tertiary referral center during seven-year period. Methods The charts of 1568 preterm infants who screened for ROP were reviewed retrospectively. Any ocular lesion except for ROP were noted. All infants had undergone routine ocular examination of the external eye, pupillary light reflex, anterior and posterior segment. Wide-angle digital retinal image acquisition system for any vitreoretinal pathology requiring a close follow-up had been utilized. Results Abnormal ocular findings other than ROP were diagnosed in 296 infants (19.2%). Tunica vasculosa lentis was the most common finding (25%) followed by vitreous or retinal hemorrhages (17.2%) and retinal white lesions (16.6%). Retina was the most frequently involved anatomic site. Other frequent ocular findings included optic disc cupping, congenital cataract, optic nerve hypoplasia, choroidal nevus, persistent fetal vasculature, lid hemangioma, and tilted disc. However, life-threatening pathologies such as lipemia retinalis and even retinoblastoma were also diagnosed. Conclusion A duly ophthalmologic examination is mandatory in premature infants for ROP screening. During such examinations, ophthalmologists must be aware of coexisting ocular findings; which could be sight-threatening or even life-threatening

Lipemia Retinalis Diagnosed Incidentally After Laser Photocoagulation Treatment for Retinopathy of Prematurity

A preterm infant who underwent bilateral laser photocoagulation for the treatment of stage 3 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is presented because she was incidentally diagnosed with grade 3 lipemia retinalis by dilated fundoscopy at post-laser 2 weeks. Meticulous ophthalmologic examination is imperative in premature newborns for not only ROP screening but also detecting any concomitant ocular abnormalities, which can be sight-threatening or even life-threatening
