Case ReportsA novel stent for treatment of combined anterior glottic web-subglottic stenosis.
Severe congenital glottic webs are often associated with subglottic stenosis. We treated two young children with combined anterior glottic web-subglottic stenosis with partial laryngofissure and anterior costal cartilage graft placement. ⋯ This stent served as both a subglottic stent and a glottic keel. These two children achieved decannulation with improved vocal quality.

Case ReportsMagnetic nasal foreign bodies in a 9-year-old male: opposites attract when it comes to nasal foreign bodies.
We report the case of a 9-year-old male who developed nasal ulcerations from magnets which were placed in his nose, and became attracted to each other across the nasal septum. The magnets came from a non-penetrating earring. Normally harmless, but when attracted to each other magnets can cause ulcerations and possibly perforation of the nasal septum and should be removed urgently whenever encountered.
