<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Nasopharyngeal carcinoma arises from interactions between underlying genetic and racial predilection and variety environmental factors. It is locally aggressive and presents with occult cervical nodal metastasis. A thorough understanding of radiological regional anatomy of the nasopharynx in Indians particularly Konkani population is important for early detection of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> Routine computed tomography of brain, head and neck for other neurological problems like stroke clearly delineates the loco-regional anatomy of the nasopharynx. Computed tomography (CT) images stored in the computer system were studied to delineate the normal loco-regional anatomy of nasopharynx with special reference to anatomical structure of fossa of Rosenmueller and to find out the normal dimensions of nasopharynx in Konkani population. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a hidden and cryptic killer with relatively higher incidence among young population. To develop a local screening CT program for earlier detection of this occult malignancy was another purpose of this endeavour.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Internal carotid artery lies at the depth of around 1 to 1.7 cm from floor of lateral pharyngeal recess (fossa of rosenmuller); this figure has to be borne in mind while doing invasive procedures of nasopharynx like biopsies and adenoidectomy.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Posterior pharyngeal wall thickness of more than 2.4 cm and adenoid mass extending to posterior margin of the medial pterygoid plate is suspicious of malignancy. A screening protocol of CT nasopharynx has been suggested as a fruit of this endeavour.</p>

First Time

We present a rare case of a schwannoma which is localized on the posterior pharyngeal wall. It caused severe difficulty in swallowing and breathing in a 3-year-old child. Schwannomas of the posterior pharyngeal wall have been rarely reported in children. To our knowledge, only 7 cases of posterior pharyngeal wall schwannoma have been previously reported in the literature, but none of them is associated with a child. The tumor was removed with plasma radiofrequency excision via a transoral route. Computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging examination showed no recurrence of the tumor up to 2 years. To our knowledge, for the first time, a case of posterior pharyngeal wall schwannoma has been reported in a 3-year-old child, and the schwannoma was removed via plasma radiofrequency transoral excision. This case study illustrates that schwannoma may occur in children, and it is safe to treat this disease through plasma radiofrequency transoral excision route.

The Subject

There has been a recent obvious trend towards the increased prevalence of chronic rhinitis – 10-20% of the population experiences this disorder. Vasomotor rhinitis, sometimes also called idiopathic rhinitis, is the indisputable leader among various chronic rhinitis forms (allergic, infectious, atrophic, catarrhal and hypertrophic). The term of vasomotor rhinitis has been the subject of experts' repeated criticism because neurovisceral innervation disorders that underlie this condition are found in almost every form of chronic rhinitis. The main clinical manifestations of vasomotor rhinitis include a feeling of nasal congestion and nasal respiratory obstruction, regular abundant discharge of clear mucus and a feeling of its trickling down the posterior pharyngeal wall. A past respiratory viral infection treated by excessive quantities of vasoconstrictor drops triggers the vasomotor rhinitis onset in most cases.
