Cervico-aural [collaural fi stula] fi stula is rare and it accounts for less than 5% of branchial cleft
anomalies. In this paper, we report one such case of a 9 year old girl who was presented to us with
two discharging cutaneous openings on the right side; one in the fl oor of the external auditory canal
and another in the neck at the junction of the upper 2/3rd and lower third of the sternomastoid muscle
along its anterior border.

Intracranial germinomas belong to the class of germ cell tumors which are relatively rare intracranial
tumors. Early recognition of this neoplasm is vital as germinomas are highly radiosensitive and effective/
early radiation therapy can result in relatively favourable overall prognosis. In this article we describe a
19 years old man who presented with pituitary tumor in the suprasellar region for which transsphenoidal
decompression and biopsy was done. The histopathological examination confirmed it to be germinoma
and he underwent craniospinal radiotherapy.
