A Rare Case of Congenital Ranula in an Infant

Case Reports in Otolaryngology, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Ranula is a mucus extravasation cyst originating from the sublingual gland on the floor of the mouth. Congenital ranula is very rare. We report a case of a 4‐month‐old girl with a congenital ranula in the floor of mouth. The ranula was treated first by marsupialization, but the cyst recurred after 1 week.

Rare Head and Neck Benign Mesenchymoma in Close Proximity to Submandibular Gland in a Pediatric Patient: Case Report and Review of the Literature

Case Reports in Otolaryngology, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Pediatric head and neck masses are commonly congenital in origin or of infectious etiology. We present a rare case of benign mesenchymoma in close proximity to the submandibular gland in an otherwise asymptomatic child. Computerized tomography (CT) scan of the head and neck area revealed a benign lesion, which was later determined to be a benign ...

Symptomatic Floor‐of‐Mouth Swelling with Neck Extension in a 14‐Year‐Old Girl

Case Reports in Pediatrics, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
A plunging ranula is a soft‐tissue mass stemming from a mucous extravasation cyst of the sublingual gland which can herniate through the mylohyoid muscle. We describe a case in which a 14‐year‐old girl presented with a rapidly expanding mass on the floor of her mouth affecting her ability to swallow and speak and causing tracheal compression.

A Rare Case of Congenital Simple Cystic Ranula in a Neonate

Case Reports in Otolaryngology, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Congenital ranula in a neonate is an uncommon occurrence. We present one such case of the said lesion where the clinical presentation and management were found to be interesting, hitherto unreported in the medical literature. This clinical record also reviews the scant medical literature on congenital ranula in neonates.

Sonographic Anatomy and Imaging of the Extracranial Component of the Hypoglossal Nerve (CNXII)

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 4, Page 417-429, December 2025.
The hypoglossal nerve (HN) provides motor innervation to tongue muscles responsible for tongue movement, speech, mastication, swallowing, respiratory functions and management of oral secretions. The intracranial component of the HN can be demonstrated on magnetic resonance imaging and the extracranial component can be demonstrated with sonographic ...
