time in the throat and has the potential to be fatal as the growths can obstruct the airway. Surgical

Lymphatic malformations (LMs) are benign cystic lesions which, while rare, often affect the pediatric age group. LMs can be macrocystic, microcystic or a combination of the two, and frequently involve the head and neck regions. Ultrasound is useful in the prenatal detection of LMs; however, these lesions can be missed. This case study outlines the incidental finding of a sublingual cyst during a third trimester ultrasound. Postnatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a lesion with peripheral enhancement on the anterior and inferior aspect of the tongue, consistent with a lymphatic malformation. While intervention was not required for the patient, this report outlines the risks, including airway obstruction, and possible treatments for LMs.  Finally, we explore the impact of sonography in the prenatal detection of oral cysts, and discuss how sonographers might be able to increase the likelihood of their discovery.

It is seen that the anterior segment of the Dugesia had an approximate starting size of 3.8 mm. On the Day 2, the anterior’s segment grew 0.2 mm. The segment maintained that same size until Day 5, where it grew another 0.2 mm. On Day 6, it is seen that the anterior piece was 4.8 mm, and on Day 7, it was 5.5 mm. The piece continued to grow larger, as on Days 8, 9, and 10, the piece was 5.7 mm, 6.1 mm, and 6.2 mm respectively (Figure 1). Overall, the anterior piece grew 2.4 mm.

Aetiology behind the characteristic cry in children with this syndrome can be described as two-factor. Anatomical changes in the epiglottis and the larynx but also structural and/or functional neurological alterations are deemed to be in the background of the symptom. Larynx is small, narrow and diamond-shaped, epiglottis small, flaccid and hypotonic. Malformations in the rhombencephalic region of the brain along with those larynx deformities are probably due to alterations of the cranial base and develop during embryonal

Head and Neck: Head of the patient round and symmetrical, no lesions or mass noted. Tracheal

Mouth: Oral mucosa pink, pharynx no exudates. Uvula moves up in midline. Normal gag reflex.

Flat, grouped, oval shaped areas of macules that are different from the surrounding tissue hypo-pigmented and less than 0.5 cm spread across the upper chest above the bilateral nipple line. It is not palpable, slight scaly.

The client presents a pink and even color tongue. The dorsal surface appears roughened from the papillae. The client’s ventral tongue surface looks smooth and glistening and shows veins. The client’s U-shaped tongue presents no oral malignancies; white patches, lesions, nodules, or ulcerations. Saliva is present. (Jarvis, 2016, p. 364-365)

Of 37 cases, 9 cases occurred in major salivary glands, with eight occurrences in the parotid region - 1 PA, 1 Adenolymphoma & 6 Acinic cell adenocarcinoma (AcADCC) and one in submandibular region- 1 Polymorphous low grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA). Of 37 cases, 28 cases occurred in minor salivary glands, with palate being the most commonly affected site by both benign (63.63%) and malignant tumors (58%).

The surgical indication is given on the basis of medical history and in particular on the basis of frequency of infectious episodes for the following years. Or on the basis of particularly important infections such as tonsillar abscess. The surgery is performed under general
