Facial nerve is the cranial nerve which travels the longest distance in bone canal. Because of this special anatomical feature, it is the most vulnerable cranial nerve in skull base fracture [1-3]. It is known that most nerve fibres in the trunk of peripheral nerve constantly move from one nerve bundle to another, interlacing with each other, so that the size, number and location of nerve bundles are constantly changing. The degree of interlacement between nerve fibers is also related to the functional properties of nerve fibres. There are more fibres interlaced between the bundles of the motor never [4-7]......

Histologically, it is a combination of epithelioid growth and connective tissue-like growth. Extra-parotid locations of AP are dominated by the palate, followed by the upper lip and oral mucosa [2]...... ReadMore

On the battlefield, severe trauma can occw· anywhere at any time, with the mam causes of death being bleeding (50%) and nerve trauma (36%), while the rest are devastating multiple injuries. Uncontrollable bleeding is the main cause of death on the battlefield, and effective control of bleeding can reduce the number of preventable deaths [1,2]. Excessive bleeding can reduce blood circulation in the human body, leading to hypoxia in the brain and other organs. Without effective intervention, uncontrollable hemorrhagic shock or other serious damage can occw·...... ReadMore

Ingestion of a foreign body (FB) is a common household accident in children. Its incidence cannot be properly estimated be cause many children swallow objects without the ingestion being known [1]. This ingestion most often occurs accidentally during games or meals regardless of the age of the child, with a greater incidence in those aged 6 months to 4 years [2, 3]. The frequency increases from the age of 6 months as soon as manual gripping are possible, with a peak between 6 months and 3 years estimated at 70% [4]...... ReadMore

It can develop from an acute ear infection, but can also develop from factors such as allergies, recurrent ear infections, or other underlying health problems. Symptoms of chronic otitis media usually include ringing in the ears, dizziness, earache, hearing problems, and can cause permanent hearing damage. Luckily, there are effective treatments available to treat chronic otitis media. These include medication, supportive therapy, and in some cases, surgery. Materials and Methods: The case of a young patient with chronic otitis media and evolution to mastoiditis is presented. Case Report: Patient, 18 years old, admitted with a picture of purulent otorrhea associated with fever for 15 days. He had a history of intermittent puru..... ReadMore
