A permeatal approach is most limited in the exposure obtained. What is important in choosing the appropriate approach is the location and size of the perforation and size of external auditory canal.

The use of rupatadine is indicated in adult and adolescent patients (>12 years of age) suffering from intermittent and persistent allergic rhinitis. In the treatment of these conditions, rupatadine is at least as effective as ebastine, cetirizine, loratadine and desloratadine. Avery good safety profile of rupatadine has been evidenced in various studies, including a long-term (1-year) safety study. Rupatadine does not present drug-drug interactions with azithromycin, fluoxetine and lorazepam, but should not be administered concomitantly with known CYP3A4 inhibitors. Content...

Of the 28 cases of elongated styloid process who underwent unilateral/bilateral styloidectomy, 27 patients had total relief of symptoms. Hence, we advocate styloidectomy, following careful diagnosis of the entity with clinical and radiological correlation, if the patient does not respond to medical therapy. The psychological status of the patient would provide clue to the authenticity of the symptoms in unrelieved cases.

It is imperative to secure the airway and to start the patients on broad spectrum antibiotics and steroids as early as possible. In general, the prognosis is good with antimicrobial therapy, close monitoring and selective airway intervention, in the form of intubation / tracheostomy, for patients with stridor or shortness of breath.

Clothesline injuries are injuries caused by striking against a stationery object like a wire or tree limb. Most of the times these end up causing blunt injuries with associated fracture of the laryngeal framework. Here we report two cases of penetrating neck injuries with successful outcomes and also the problems encountered in the management of these cases. A proper evaluation, rapid airway intervention and proper surgical repair are essential for a successful outcome.

Although technical improvements and modifications have improved the fidelity of conventional aids, hearing aids still have many limitations. Implantable hearing aids offer patients with hearing loss several potential advantages over conventional hearing aids. This presentation will highlight our first experience, the indications, the procedure, the advantages and the current status of totally implantable hearing aids.

All score 4 hard impacted ear wax cases in the adult population (>20 years) were accrued for the assessment of the relative efficacy. Upon analyzing the comparative efficacy of four ceruminolytic agents, by taking into consideration three parameters (post) ceruminolytic cerumen score, attempts of syringing required to extrude the cerumen mass, post-ceruminolytic use and appearance of the removed cerumen mass. 2% paradichlorobenzene emerged as the most superior ceruminolytic, closely followed by 10% sodium bicarbonate. 2.5% acetic acid fared moderately while normal saline emerged as the least efficac...

An opaque maxillary anturm should be treated as a sign and not as a definite diagnosis and an attempt should be made to pin point the cause of the maxillary sinus opacity preferably with the help of sinus endoscopy.

Different, approaches had been described for removal. A retrospective study of files of 25 patients operated in King Abdul Aziz University Hospital showed that the chance of leaving epithelial remnant is common when using the standard technique especially those patients who had prior abscess or surgical intervention. The supraauricular approach described by Prasad, offers a better chance for total excision of the sinus and its tract.

Since such tumours are usually advanced a standard maxillectomy procedure is inadequate Nevertheless batter local control is obtainable by modifying palatal zygomatic or superior bone cuts (cranifacial resection) or including an appropriate part of the septum in the specimen. This paper describes 78 such cases undergoing surgicad ablation. Uses of CT and modifications of standard surgical techniques adapted for various tumour extensions are described.

The various techniques are proposed for simplificatian of Bithermal alternate test. The Bithermal Dicthermal Simultaneous test appears more physiological than other tests because the stimuli simulates normal head rotation. It is more sensitive (70%) and specific (90%) than alternate test specially in the central vestibular disorders. The central disinhibition and compensation inherent in the recovery of vestibular lesion makes the alternate test of limited usefulness.

A comprehensive team approach pre-operative videofluroscopic assessment, patient counselling and modified TEP technique were responsible for a better long term success rate in our series. Indigenised, mycostatin impregnated silicone one way valve prosthesis, produced by us, alleviated need for costly imported prosthesis. Comparative evaluation of both prosthesis, proved efficacy of our prosthesis beyond doubts. Content Type Journal ArticleCategory Original/ Main ArticleDOI 10.1007/BF03052477Authors S. Golhar, Govt.

It is the most common metastasis reported in the paranasal sinuses. A fifty six year old male patient, an operated case of left renal cell carcinoma presented seven years later with epistaxis. Computerized tomography of the paranasal sinuses and of the abdomen showed a metastatic lesion involving the left nasosinus region and a lesion involving the right kidney with lung metastasis, respectively. Due to the poor prognosis palliative radiotherapy was given. Content Type Journal ArticleCategory Short CommunicationDOI 10.1007/BF03049615Authors D. R.

In its acute clinical presentation it mimics malignant and infective causes of cervical lymphadenopathy. The combined clinical history, histopathological findings, and imaging features of an infiltrating soft-tissue mass should lead to the possibility of IPT. Radical surgery should be avoided before there is histological proof of a malignant tumor.

They are known to arise from the head and neck region but oropharyngeal presentation is not often seen. Few cases of pedunculated schwannoma arising from the aryepiglottic fold presenting as giant tumours in the oropharynx have been reported so far. The tumour in this case has been excised via intraoral approach, with nil residual morbidity. A follow up period of one year was uneventful without any recurrence.

Various factors of decannulation panic are discussed. Where there is no obvious obstruction such as the original condition. Granulation tissue and scar tissue, odema, thick mucus, crusts, tracheomalacia and displacement of tracheal flap, a non radioopaque F.B. causing incomplete obstruction should be thought of.

Further surgery might help this unfortunate patient but he refused it. The phonetic stream is effectively diverted through the dermal tube into the oral cavity to be articulated. Speech of better quality is developed which is not monotonous and easily understandable. Moreover, the associated expiratory snort and the gulping noise that are quite often present in pharyngo-oesophageal speech are conspicuously absent in this laryngoplasty which is responsible, besides the factor already mentioned viz the pseudoglottis, for better intelligibility of speech. The speech in this case is not dead or monoto...

It has been emphasized that the tumour should be removed under general anaesthesia with complete relaxation. The scalping of the tumour should be flushed with the surface of vocal cord avoiding any injury to the epithelium of the vocal cord. It has been observed that true benign tomours of larynx are whereas the commonumours of the larynx met with are the pseudo tumours. Content Type Journal ArticleDOI 10.1007/BF03047771Authors P.

It gives an idea of spread of cancer in all three dimensions which helps immensely in planning the management. Non involvement of conus elasticus, intralaryngeal muscles, the submucous glands and cartilages suggests a good prognosis. Pre-epiglottic space was found to be invaded by tumour from anterior commissural region and supraglottis. By serial section one is able to have a good idea about the immune response that is playing a part. Stage of cell differentiation of the growth is not absolutely parallel to the invasiveness of the growth. In addition, radiation reactions can be assessed. Here we have fou...

The patient presented with pain in throat and difficulty in swallowing since 15 days. Barium swallow and direct Laryngoscopy revealed a mass in Hypopharynx. Tobacco smoking since early childhood can be the aetological factor. The patient did not consent for surgery and could not afford radiotherapy. Hence, Tracheostomy and feeding gastrosomy were done. Patient died at home two months after the diagnosis.

We use nasal medicine so frequently that it is likely that we may not be rational all the time. How many of us advise the patient that mast cell stabilisers (Cromolyn) should be used before the exposure to the allergen. Similarly most of the time we forget to tell the patients when to stop the use of the nasal drops, resulting in overuse and few cases of rhinitis medicamentosa. It is the intention of this communication to discuss the pharmacological basis of the use of commonly used nasal drugs with the fond hope that it will improve our understanding and help in better patient care.

Unless careful follow-up is maintained patient may come with extensive disease even many years later. Since post-traumatic cholesteatoma is invasive and occurs in a well pneumatised mastoid it is large and extensive. In our patient it involved the labyrinth and caused a permanent facial nerve paralysis. Surgical management involves eradicating the cholesteatoma with a canal wall down technique.

The levels were found to be significantly higher both in serum as well as tissue of these patients. The rise was nearly to the same extent in all the patients irrespective of the site, character, histopathology or stage of the disease. Further after, radiotherapy the levels remained unaltered. The rise in LDH levels in patients with head and neck cancer suggests increased rate of glycolysis in the tissue and that the rise in serm could be due to its release from the tissue.

The so called fungal sporangium was shown to be a unique body organized in host tissue for elimination of two indigestible carbohydrates, starch (possibly from tapioca) and defective proteoglycans (precursor of mucous). Case histories of two patients of rhinosporidiosis operated in this institute indicated involvement of dietary tapioca and chronic inflammation. Therefore, tapioca samples were procured for laboratory tests from Orissa and Trivandrum, home states of the two patients. Starch in both tapiocas has been found to be resistant to degradation whereas potato starch degrades easily. These findings correlate with presence of starch previously ...

Prior to the introduction of modern imaging techniques (computerised tomography, magnetic resonance imaging) delays between presentation and diagnosis were common place. Atypical facial paralysis and hearing loss are the most common presenting features. This combination is very suggestive of a facial neuroma and is an indication to proceed to computed tomography. This investigation can reveal expansion of the Fallopian canal at any point through the temporal bone. A few facial neuromas occur in the cerebello-pontine angle alone or in the parotid. Resection and grafting are always worthwhile as facial neurones seem to persist in the tumour mass keeping muscle alive until the facial nerve graft becomes functional. Th...

Absolute peak latencies II, III, V were significantly delayed (P < .05). Interpeak latencies III– V and I– V were also significantly delayed (P < .01). Absent BAEPS were associated with worst prognosis. Content Type Journal ArticleCategory Original ArticleDOI 10.1007/BF03050071Authors Mohammad Maqbool, Govt. Medical College Dept. of E.N.T.

A detailed serum lipid analysis was done of all the patients. It was concluded that atherosclerotic disease of the labyrinthine vessels usually affects patients above forty years of age. It occurs bilaterally. Commonly both the cochlear and vestibular components are involved. Raised serum total cholesterol, L.D.L. cholesterol levels and hypertension, are more contributory as risk factors in its development.

The authors have compared the results with regard to development of laryngeal stenosis, when surgical treatment was given with CO2 laser alone in the early 34 cases plus 7 advanced cases, while in the remaining 13 advanced cases the CO2 laser ablation was combined with the conventional cup forceps removal. Age, extent of disease, duration of the procedure and interval between two procedures were also noted. The incidence of laryngeal stenosis was found to be reduced in advanced cases when CO2 laser was combined with the conventional cup forceps removal.

Potential complications of this include meningitis and CSF leaks. Repair by an inferiorly based pericranial flap was performed in 10 patients in each of whom the defect exceeded 1.5 cms in width. In 4 of them the repair was supplemented by a temporalis fascia graft for achieving a dural seal. In 8 other patients no repair was considered necessary. Use of this flap did not result in any complication. Content Type Journal ArticleCategory Case ReportDOI 10.1007/BF03050078Authors D. A.
