JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF HEAD NECK & SPINE SURGERY Introduction Firework displays are a frequently encountered and integral part of summertime holiday celebrations in the United States, although they do carry significant risk, especially in the pediatric population. Firework-related injuries comprise a small, yet significant, source of pediatric injury [1]. Since 1990, more than 5000 children were treated for consumer firework-related injuries in emergency rooms across the United States on an annual basis [2]. In 2014 alone, 10,500 firework-related injuries required hospital treatment [3]. While orthopedic and burn injuries to the hands compose the majority of these injuries, 22.0% of firework-related injuries involve the head or neck [2]. Furthermore, a significant percentage of these injuries are suffered by bystanders [3]. A small fraction of these injuries require hospitalization, and even fewer require operative intervention [4,5]. Pedia...

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF HEAD NECK & SPINE SURGERY Abstract Radiotherapy for head and neck cancer may causes baroreflex dysfunction and can lead to syncope. Syncope is usually a benign clinical condition and self-limit. However, in patients with difficult airway their spontaneous recovery can be interrupted by the significant hypoxia caused by airway obstruction. This might lead to situation of cannot intubate and cannot oxygenate requiring emergency surgical airway. Here we report two cases in which previous radiotherapy treated patients developed syncope during preparation for awake intubation resulting in emergency surgical access. Keywords: Airway Syncope Neck radiotherapy Awake airway management Abbrevations: TLOC: Transient Loss of Consciousness; NRT: Radiotherapy to The Neck; BP: Blood Pressure; HR: Heart Rate; CICO: Cannot Intubate, Cannot Oxygenate; OR: Operating Room; BPM: Beats Per Minute; ETT: Endotracheal Tube; SCC: Squamous ...

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF HEAD NECK & SPINE SURGERY Abstract Intracranial Extradural Hematoma (EDH), a collection of blood between the skull and the dura, is a common sequelae of head trauma. Spontaneous EDH without underlying medical causes has been reported in intraspinal lesions but rarely in intracranial conditions. Spontaneous EDH with haematological disorders is rarer still. Previous literatures have reported on cases of spontaneous EDH because of sinus, middle ear, orbital infections, disorders of blood coagulation. We report a case of a spontaneous EDH on a background of Beta Thalassemia Major which has yet to be reported.
