IntroductionThis report describes glass displaced into the infratemporal region from submandibular injury. Case ReportThis report describes an unusual case with foreign body displacement from submandibular region to infratemporal fossa. An appropriate surgical approach to retrieve the object using a trans-oral approach is discussed. ConclusionRetrieving a foreign body in the ITF using an intro-oral approach should be guided by the precise location and size of the object, the signs and symptoms presented by the patient, and the surgeons knowledge and skill.

IntroductionThis short communication seeks to highlight the link between thyroid disease and bone fragility. Short CommunicationBone remodelling/metabolism involve a homeostatic balance between formation (osteoblastic) and resorption (osteoclastic). This balance is regulated by bone regulatory molecules, including receptor activator of nuclear factor-κ B and osteoprotegerin. Conclusion Elevated thyroid hormone may lead to increased bone resorption activities, which may lead to an increased risk of osteopenia and osteporotic fractures.
