The authors present the case of a 14 year-old girl having the cervical deformity developed on the background of influenza and sore throat and was caused by an apparently minor sports injury, with vertebrocervical lesion and rupture of the inner wall of the jugular vein. The painful onset symptomatology, initially attributed to exacerbation of the anginous process and cervical adenitis, evolved towards phonation, deglutition, nervous and final respiratory disturbances. The progressive evolution and gravity of the clinical picture imposed craniocervical surgery, with exclusion of the lateral intramastoid sinus and resection of the extensive ectatic cervicoprevertebral pouch. The authors discuss the mechanism of the vascular lesion, the clinical picture, evolution, diagnosis and therapy, which totaly differed from classical descriptions of phlebectasia of the jugular vein.

On the basis of the observation of eight cases with traumatisms of the ossicular system, the authors discuss the mechanism of various forms of lesions, which may be primary represented by fractures and luxations or they may be secondary reactions following the traumatism leading to ankylosis the joins. There is underlined the frequency of the luxations of the stapes and the constant ankylosis of the footplate in these cases. The authors argue in favour of an early surgical procedure, the extent of the surgical intervention being conditioned by the lesional aspect.
