ABSTRACT
Congenital laryngeal cysts are very rare and if mismanaged, lead to a high incidence of morbidity and mortality. The case may present as severe stridor and emergent management can obviate a tracheostomy, achieving cure in the process. We report here a case of supraglottic cyst, which was completely occluding the airway and was managed in the emergency setting.

A case of entomophthoromycosis of the nose and paranasal sinus is presented. To our knowledge, this is the youngest patient reported with this infection. Though the clinical picture mimicked a malignancy, histopathology clinched the diagnosis of entomophthoromycosis. The lesions resolved completely with oral potassium iodide.

Chronic renal failure can produce malfunction of multiple organs, including auditory and vestibular apparatus. Twelve patients of chronic renal failure of varying etiologies treated conservatively were subjected to vestibular function tests. Only 33% of the patients had normal ENG data. Fifty-eight per cent of the patients had canal paresis and 8% showed hyperactive response. Ototoxic drugs like furosemide may be most important factor in aetiology of vestibular dysfunction in chronic renal failure.
