Hidradenocarcinoma of Nose: A Rare Case Report
This report details the surgical management of a rare case of hidradenocarcinoma in a 70-year-old man presenting as a large multilobulated swelling on the dorsum of the nose.

Aberrant Course of the Intratemporal Facial Nerve in Children with Congenital Hearing Loss
AbstractCongenital facial nerve (FN) malformations are uncommon. Our aim is to determine the clinical and radiological features of FN malformations along with the associated cochlear and vestibular malformations. We conducted a retrospective study including children with a profound sensorineural hearing loss who were candidates for cochlear implantation. We evaluated the presence of FN malformations through temporal bone computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging. We recorded an aberrant FN course in five out of 165 patients in a total of 9 ears. They consisted of a bifurcation of the mastoid segment, an anter...
