Unilateral maxillary sinus aplasia is one of the rare anomalies of maxillary sinus. Few cases have been reported. Ipsilateral rhinolith with unilateral maxillary sinus aplasia is also a very rare association and no case has been documented till date. We report a case of a 21-year-old female with left maxillary sinus aplasia and ipsilateral rhinolith. Rest of the sinuses being normal.

Fistulae arising from the second branchial apparatus are the most common anomalies than those arising from the third and fourth branchial apparatus. Third branchial fistula is extremely rare in occurrence.1 Complete fistulae are uncommon as in the majority of cases the tracts end blindly. Here, we report a case of complete congenital third branchial fistula on left side of the neck with an internal opening near left pyriform fossa in a 12-year-old male patient.

We present a young female who developed bilateral cavernous sinus thrombophlebitis after a week's history of a single acne-like lesion or furuncle over the right lateral ala of the nose which she had squeezed. She was managed aggressively with intravenous antibiotics, heparin and a sliding scale of insulin. Signs and symptoms improved after 2 weeks of treatment, and she was discharged from hospital on an oral anticoagulant.

Inflammatory pseudotumor also known as plasma cell granuloma is a space occupying lesion which occurs in wide variety of somatic tissue and visceral organs, including lungs, liver, thyroid and many other organs. Recently, it has been described in the major salivary glands and buccal tissue in children.1 We have described here the clinical, radiological and histological findings of inflammatory pseudotumor in premaxillary subcutaneous tissue in an adult, which is a rare site.
