Summary
This case series highlights three rare neck masses diagnosed and treated in a tertiary hospital. Investigating unusual neck swellings is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
Area of Science:
- Otorhinolaryngology
- Head and Neck Surgery
- Oncology
Background:
- Neck masses are abnormal growths from the skull base to clavicle.
- These masses can be benign or malignant, necessitating thorough investigation.
- Unusual etiologies for neck masses present diagnostic challenges.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a case series of three unusual neck masses.
- To emphasize the importance of investigating rare neck mass presentations.
- To contribute to the understanding of diverse neck mass etiologies.
Main Methods:
- Case series reporting patients presenting with neck masses.
- Evaluation conducted in the Outpatient Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery.
- Data collected over a 1.5-year period at a tertiary care hospital.
Main Results:
- Three unique cases of unusual neck masses were identified.
- The rarity of the underlying causes made these cases distinctive.
- Detailed diagnostic and management approaches were undertaken.
Conclusions:
- Unusual neck masses require comprehensive diagnostic workups.
- Tertiary care centers play a vital role in managing complex head and neck cases.
- Further research into rare neck mass etiologies is warranted.

01:19Veins of Head and Neck
3.4K
The blood drainage from the head and neck is primarily managed by three pairs of veins: the external jugular, internal jugular, and vertebral veins. The external jugular veins drain superficial scalp and face structures, passing over the sternocleidomastoid muscles to empty into the subclavian veins.
On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...

The anterior neck muscles are the group of muscles covering the front part of the neck. These muscles are classified into three subgroups. The first one is the superficial muscles, the most visible muscles in the front of the neck. It includes the platysma and sternocleidomastoid. The second group is the suprahyoid muscles, located above the hyoid bone. This group comprises the digastric, mylohyoid, geniohyoid, and stylohyoid. Lastly, the infrahyoid muscles are found below the hyoid bone and...

The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...

01:19Muscles that Move the Head
3.7K
The muscles that move the head are a dynamic and complex group of structures that work together to facilitate a wide range of head movements, including rotation, flexion, extension, and lateral bending.
The bilateral sternocleidomastoid, or SCM, and the suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles are significant head flexors. The SCM muscles originate at the sternum and clavicle and attach to the mastoid process of the temporal bone. The SCM contracts bilaterally to bend the head forward, whereas...

01:22Sutures of the Skull
8.4K
The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
