Abstract

Paranasal sinus cysts are benign lesions that are often asymptomatic. In most cases, they are found in the maxillary sinus. Further radiological examinations, such as a head CT scan, are required. The diagnosis of angiolipoma is made through histopathological analysis. The purpose of this article is to establish the diagnosis and management of maxillary sinus cysts and angiolipoma. A 35-year-old male patient presented to the ENT clinic of Wangaya Regional General Hospital complaining of nasal congestion and headache. Based on anamnesis, physical examination, and supporting investigations in the form of a head CT scan, the patient was diagnosed with a maxillary sinus cyst and angiolipoma. The treatment chosen was surgery in the form of Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) and Luc-Caldwell (LCW) procedures. After surgery, the complaints of nasal congestion and headache were reduced. Maxillary sinus cyst and angiolipoma can be challenging to diagnose because of their nonspecific clinical presentations. Initial diagnostic testing may include computed tomography (CT), and definitive diagnosis is made through histopathology. Treatment options include FESS and LCW.

Abstract

Deep neck space infections are potentially life-threatening conditions due to their proximity to vital structures such as the airway, major blood vessels, and cranial nerves. These infections may spread rapidly and lead to severe complications, including airway obstruction and sepsis. This study aims to describe a rare case of concurrent intratonsillar, peritonsillar, and retropharyngeal abscesses, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of conservative management using intravenous antibiotics. This research employed a descriptive qualitative case report approach involving a 32-year-old male patient presenting with progressive throat pain, dysphagia, neck swelling, and a muffled voice. Data were collected through clinical examination, laboratory tests, and radiological imaging, followed by continuous observation during hospitalization. The findings revealed elevated leukocyte levels and radiographic evidence of retropharyngeal space widening. The patient was treated with intravenous cefotaxime and metronidazole, along with supportive therapy. Significant clinical improvement was observed within 48 hours, with resolution of symptoms by the fifth day without surgical intervention. In conclusion, early diagnosis and prompt antibiotic therapy can effectively manage selected cases of multiple deep neck abscesses. Conservative treatment may be considered in stable patients, potentially avoiding invasive procedures while ensuring favorable clinical outcomes
