It consists of a non-traumatic atlantoaxial subluxation after an infectious process. Its characteristic symptom is persistent torticollis despite a resolved infection. The knowledge of this condition helps early diagnosis and treatment. We therefore present the case of a patient with Grisel's syndrome as a sequela of an acute mastoiditis complicated by a Bezold's abscess.

These results had probably been influenced by the characteristics of the studied population and therefore should not be an obstacle for being attentive to the possible association of respiratory disease to obesity and its negative consequences.

Her imaging tests showed no involvement of the facial nerve as it passed through the ear structures. The patient finally improved the BFP; however, deafness is permanent and she has entered into a cochlear implant program. Published papers on BFP are rare and they make no reference to WG as a possible aetiology.

The aim of this paper was to describe in detail the tasks in each of the phases described in a programme of CI, materials and necessary equipment and the role of the professionals involved. It also raised a number of recommendations on how to develop a CI programme gradually to facilitate the progression from the simplest to the most complex cases.

In general, the clinical results derive from ischemia caused by vascular inflammation, which depends on the organ affected. Such vasculitis cases are classified according to the classification of the Chapel Hill conference. They can present with relative frequency as ENT manifestations in both their debut and throughout their evolution. Consequently, the ENT specialist should include them in the differential diagnosis in patients with ENT manifestations that are difficult to control or of atypical presentation. Our objective was to review the most common ENT clinical signs and...

The diagnosis of OT should be considered for patients with instability. The clinical history is a key factor to suspect this entity, and the diagnosis is given by the register of 10-20Hz contractions on limb electromyography. Treatment for this disease consists of medical treatment; the first option is clonazepam.

Histopathologically, salivary duct carcinoma is characterised by its resemblance to ductal carcinoma of the breast. It usually develops aggressively with possibilities of early distant metastasis and local recurrence. The tumour is managed with total parotidectomy, ipsilateral neck dissection and adjunctive radiation. In advanced cases, we recommend treatment with anti-Her-2 monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab.

MATERIAL & METHODS: Four inexperienced listeners evaluated 107 recorded pathological voices using the GRABS scale in 2 separate sessions; at first, without a visible spectrogram and then, 6 months later, with anchors and a narrow band spectrogram as additional information. RESULTS: The results show that anchors and visible speech helped to improve the reliability of G, B, A and S parameters. Interrater agreement according to k statistics was significantly stronger with the addition of spectrographic information for rating breathiness and strain.

Although both proteins were more prevalent in older patients and bigger tumours, this difference was not statistically significant, probably due to the reduced sample size. No differences were found in laterality, gender or audiogram. However, the expression of these two proteins in almost half of the tumours shows that they can play a role in the development and progression of acoustic neuromas, although further studies are needed.

Labyrinthitis was diagnosed in 41.2% of cases. S. pyogenes was prevalent in these serious invasive infections in our area. Associated intracranial complications were present in 17.6% cases. Resolution of AOM complications required surgical procedures in all cases (myringotomy, drainage of subperiosteal abscess or tympanomastoidectomy).

Diagnosis was carried out by MRI and CT scan. His management and treatment are described, as well as the postoperative evolution. We believe this is an exceptional case due to the low frequency of this syndrome, as well as to the otoneurological complications.

It is therefore necessary to look for other imaging tests that provide greater accuracy to avoid unnecessary elective neck dissections and to reduce morbidity and mortality from them. We must now pay attention to new imaging techniques such as PET and PET/CT.

High-resolution digital high-speed video has a high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing PCD. This system of video analysis is more useful than ultrastructural study and mucociliary transport for PCD screening. Dynein absence is correlated with cilia immotility and is more common in patients with Kartagener syndrome.

The aim of this review was to introduce genomics to the clinical otorhinolaryngologist. Technological advances in genotyping and sequencing that have facilitated genome-wide association studies in common causes of hearing loss during the last years are summarised. METHODS: A search strategy in PubMed was designed using the following keywords: (gene OR genomics OR GWAS OR high throughput) AND (hearing loss OR chronic otitis media OR age-related hearing loss OR otosclerosis OR Meniere's disease) during the last 5 years. A total of 1,846 references were obtained. After filtering by human studies and English as the language of p...

The ideal graft, which exists only as a concept, would be the one combining biocompatibility, a low complication rate and results that remained stable for a long time. At present, autologous cartilage, and more precisely septal cartilage, is still the first option for augmentation rhinoplasty. If septal cartilage is not available, we always turn to conchal cartilage grafts, from one or both sides depending on the amount of cartilage required.

More than 60% of childhood sensorineural hearing loss is genetic. In adults, the percentage of hereditary hearing loss is unknown. Genetic testing is the highest yielding test for evaluating patients with sensorineural hearing loss. The process of genetic counselling is intended to inform patients and their families of the medical, psychological and familial implications of genetic diseases, as well as the risks, benefits...

The percentage of infants screened annually in Spain has increased significantly since the EHDI systems have expanded to all autonomic regions. Historically, high risk indicators have been used for the identification of infants who should receive audiological evaluation but who live in geographic locations where universal hearing screening is not yet available, to help identify infants who pass neonatal screening but are at risk of developing delayed-onset hearing loss and to identify infants who may ha...

An intricate neural network is responsible for ensuring the main functions of the larynx: airway protection, cough and Valsalva production, and providing voice. Coordination of these roles is very susceptible to disruption by neurological disorders. Neurological disorders that affect laryngeal function include Parkinson's disease, stroke, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, dystonia and essential tremor. A thorough neurological evaluation should be routine for any patient presenting with voice complaints suggestive of neurogenic cause.

Its best advantages are a low risk of labyrinthization, high result predictability, easy and step-by-step surgery, no need for general anaesthesia, and the GAP over closure in all frequencies. Active middle ear devices represent another alternative, but specific indications have not been defined yet because of low universal experience. When the intelligibility of the patient is poor, cochlear implantation should be considered.

We also stress the importance of distinguishing this entity from other lesions that may be involved in this location such as cutaneous neoplasms, parotid tumours or cysts.

These approaches have a high success rate and reduce surgical time and morbidity. However, when they are located in the lateral wall of the sphenoid, the surgery is more complex. In our case, the CSF appeared to be related with a Sternberg's canal. Predisposing factors were also associated with an extensive unilateral pneumatization of the sinus and benign intracranial hypertension. The closure of the leak was achieved using an endoscopic transethmoidal transpterygoid approach for proper exposition of the lateral wall of the sphenoid.

Recent years have seen the redefinition of this neoplasm, due to better technology; it is now proven that this neoplasm may have multiple different extrapleural origins including the head and neck regions. This diversity of locations is related to the particular mesenchymal histogenesis of SFT which allows its development from very unusual sites such as the salivary glands (SGs).

This type of non-surgical treatment is offered as a strategy for organ preservation, as opposed to total laryngectomy. However, we believe that there are two organ-preservation strategies, surgical and non-surgical. A wide spectrum of surgical techniques is available and such techniques lead to excellent results, both oncological and functional (speech and swallowing).

The external auditory canal (EAC) was narrowed by a subcutaneous nodule. After its extirpation, unilateral localised amyloidosis of the EAC was diagnosed. In these rare cases, it is crucial to rule out systemic amyloidosis.

The cause and mechanisms of rhinosinusitis remain unknown, and curative treatment does not exist. Recent new insights into paranasal sinus pathophysiology, along with technical advances in imaging and endoscopy, have revolutionised surgical treatment of rhinosinusitis. Since an increasing number of patients undergo functional endoscopic sinus surgery as a therapeutic regimen for their disease, appropriate use of computed tomography is critical in providing a "roadmap" for the surgeon to delimit...

This tumour has a low incidence, the most frequent place of occurrence being the lower extremities in young adults. Synovial sarcoma of the head and neck accounts for 3-5% of sarcomas in this anatomical region. The treatment of choice for synovial sarcoma of the head and neck is complete surgical excision of the tumour mass followed by adjuvant radiotherapy.
