ABSTRACT
We have described a case of biliary ascariasis with the uncommon complication of pancreatitis. Ideally, the diagnosis is made preoperatively by cholangiography. If conservative therapy fails, surgery is recommended. Proper therapy includes complete clearance of worms from the hepatobiliary tract and the intestine. Results are good with early diagnosis and treatment.

ABSTRACT
We present two cases of neck lacerations resulting from automobile accidents where the victim was thrown through the windshield and suffered thyrohyoid separation. In this lesion, the laryngeal mechanism is intact but detached from the hypopharynx. The prognosis is excellent with early recognition and repair.
