Synchronous primaries in head and neck cancer pose a difficult management problem. A rare case of Synchronous primary of vocal cord and oesophagus was treated at the same sitting by laryngo-pharyngo-oesophagectomy with gastric pull up. We report this case and review the literature in this report.

A seven year experience with twenty patients undergoing the craniofacial approach for excision of tumours of the paranasal sinus and orbit is presented. Results indicate a low postoperative morbidity and mortality with excellent cosmesis. Good palliation is achieved in the presence of extensive disease, while large tumours which would have been considered inaccessible can be resected. Its advantage recommend it as the treatment of choice for tumours of the orbit and paranasal sinuses.
