Objective: To analyze pattern, sex and age ratio, common causes, the most common site and extent of the injury in the patients with cut throat injury at our hospital. To compare the same with previous similar studies conducted at other centers in different parts of the world. Also to note the early management and outcome in our study. Department Setting: of ENT and Head and Neck Surgery, Gauhati Medical college and Hospital, Guwahati, from January 2022 to January 2023. Methods: A total of 60 cases of cut throat injury were included in our study. Proforma was prepared to collect data. Results: 60 cases of cut throat injury patients were included in the study. Out of 60 cases 51 were males and 9 were females. Simple primary wound closure was done in 58 cases and 2 required secondary wound repair. In 20 patients, tracheostomy with primary repair was done. 32 patients needed psychiatric consultation.

Plasma cell granuloma is a rare benign lesion which is found most frequently in the lungs, and rarely in the head and neck.[1] In this study, we present 22year old male with right sided otalgia, tinnitus, hearing loss and swelling over right postauricular region. On otoscopy, tympanic membrane was intact and dull and pure tone audiometry showed right mild conductive hearing loss. HRCT mastoid and MRI brain suggested CSOM with cholesteatoma. Intact canal wall mastoidectomy with debulking of tumour was done. HPE reported plasma cell granuloma (inammatory pseudotumour) which was conrmed by Immunohistochemistry. Post operative period was uneventful. This case report is being highlighted for its rarity and unusual presentation.

Background: Lymphadenopathy occurs in a number of cases presenting in ENT out-patient department. Most cases are found to have enlarged cervical lymph glands. Lymphadenopathy is a condition affecting the lymph nodes of the body as a result of infection, benign or malignant conditions. As a result, lymph nodes become enlarged and abnormal in size, shape, consistency and they may show xity, abnormal mobility or symptoms that differ from normal. This is due to uid accumulation and action of lymphocytes. The most common form is lymphadenitis when it is due to inammation. Inammation may spread from surrounding soft tissue via lymphatic vessels or direct involvement of the lymph glands. A study was conducted to have an idea about the most common cause of cervical lymphadenopathy in children as most common region of lymph node in children is cervical groups of lymph nodes. A hospital-based prospective study was Methods and Materials: conducted in the department of otorhinolaryngology and head and neck surgery, from a time period of October 2021 to March 2022 and results analysed from the collected data. Results: Reactive lymphadenopathy due to viral or bacterial infections is the leading cause followed by systemic and malignant diseases. Discussion: Inammatory response is the leading cause of cervical lymphadenopathy in children.
