    Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is the most common sleep disorder and it occupies half of the outpatients of the sleep clinic. Sleep is most integrated physiological function for human and it is very important to maintain healthy life. Obstructive sleep apnea patients suffer from frequent respiration related arousals during sleep. Poor quality of sleep induces cardio-vascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, mood disorders, decreased performance ability, traffic accidents and etc. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is multidisciplinary disease and indicates various symptoms.
    The author introduces various pitfall cases related to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Pitfall cases are composed of vertigo related sleep apnea cases, an insufficient sleep syndrome case, endocrine dysfunction related sleep apnea cases and a depression case.

    Nasal foreign bodies are often encountered in daily clinical practice, most often in children. A retrospective analysis was conducted of 281 consecutive cases of pediatric nasal foreign bodies who presented to our hospital during a 5-year period. We examined the age, sex, year and month of presentation, the shape and size of the foreign body and complications. The average age of the patients was 3.6 years (SD±1.5 years). There was no gender difference. The average diameter of the foreign body was 8.6mm (SD±2.3mm). There were no cases of serious complications such as perforation of the nasal septum or foreign bodies in the trachea. Foreign bodies under 12mm in diameter pose the risk of being inserted into the nostrils in preschool children.

    Carotid body tumors are rare, and surgical resection is the treatment of first choice. Complications of surgical resection include carotid artery injury, tumor hemorrhage, and postoperative nerve damage. An accurate understanding of the positional relationship between the tumor and the carotid artery by preoperative diagnostic imaging is essential to ensure safe and accurate surgical resection. In addition, preoperative embolization and the Balloon Matas test are useful for intraoperative carotid artery manipulation. Here, we report a case of carotid body tumor resection with who presented with carotid artery hemorrhage. Preoperative embolization and intraoperative vessel repair allowed tumor resection without any sequelae. Given that these tumors are associated with intra-and postoperative complications, treatment in cooperation with other medical departments is essential.

    Basosquamous cell carcinoma (BSCC) is a rare malignant skin tumor, with histological features of both basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). It is difficult to diagnose BSCC before surgery. The recurrence rate of BSCC after surgery is high, since the surgical margin frequently shows the features of BCC.
    We present a case of BSCC originating in the auricle. The patient was diagnosed as having BCC invading the cartilage before the operation. We performed an operation indicated for invasive carcinoma. At present, 2 years since the operation, the patient remains alive and without disease.
