[Meningioma of the internal auditory canal: A rare entity.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We present the case of a 61-year-old man in whom the magnetic resonance imaging performed prior to left cochlear implant surgery revealed a lesion in the right internal auditory canal resembling a vestibular Schwannoma. Left cochlear implant surgery was performed and three months later, the right internal auditory canal lesion was removed. The final histopathological analysis revealed it to be a meningioma.

[Occupation as a risk factor for oral and pharyngeal cancer.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: The literature reviewed shows that occupational exposure to formaldehyde may be associated with an increased risk of nasopharyngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer. The results regarding other occupational exposures are not consistent, therefore additional studies with more statistical power and better design are needed to ascertain if occupation is really a relevant risk factor for these types of cancer.

[Methodology for evaluation of malignancy screening in surgical thyroid gland disease.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: FNA has good sensitivity in clinical suspicion of thyroid papillary carcinoma, although it should be complemented by extemporaneous biopsy due to its better specificity. In the case of follicular carcinoma there is a tendency towards conservative treatment, without carrying out extemporaneous biopsy previously and with reintervention in case of definitive malignancy.

[Demand and supply of otolaryngology specialist based on evidence: What is the required number of specialists which should be trained?]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Several concurrent circumstances have created an impression through the media of a presumed lack of specialists in Spain, which has one of the highest densities of doctors per population in the world: simultaneous creation of jobs in many newly built hospitals; accepting garbage contracts (for months, half/thirds of days, shifts) in relevant hospitals rather than moving to unattractive positions; full dedication to the field of public or private healthcare rather than matching them; bad public healthcare working conditions (low wages, excessive healthcare pressure, lack of respect from the public and from healthcare ma...

[Carotid body tumour resection with LigaSure((R)) device.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Use of LigaSure((R)) decreased bleeding and surgical time in CBTs. Lesions of the artery are mainly caused by infiltration or by muscular hypotrophy of the artery, which frequently requires vascular reconstruction. Nerve injury continues to be an important postoperative complication, which may result in a reduction in the quality of life for the patient. The rates of nerve injury as a result of surgery were unchanged. PMID: 19818427 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Acta Otorrinolaringologica Espanola)

We report the case of a 35-year-old woman presenting hamartoma in the posterosuperior part of the right nasal cavity. Complete surgical resection by functional endoscopic sinus surgery was the treatment of choice to remove it completely.

[Primary ciliary dyskinesia. Ciliopathies.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Primary ciliary dyskinesia is a genetically inherited syndrome characterized by cilia immotility or dysmotility. Deficiency in mucociliary clearance produces chronic respiratory infections since birth, male sterility by spermatozoid immotility and situs inversus in 40-50% of patients (Kartagener's syndrome). Diagnosis is made by analyzing cilia motility with high-speed digital video and ciliar ultrastructure. The wide distribution and functions of the cilia in the body mean that this dysfunction can generate other ciliopathies apart from primary ciliary dyskinesia.

CONCLUSIONS: Despite the great development and new surgical techniques, CSF fistulae are still a frequent complication after VS surgery. There might be other aetiological factors such as intracranial pressure. There was no significant relationship between CSF fistula and BMI. Adequate management and early conservative measures led to reduced reintervention rates of less than 5% in all patients.

We present the cases of 6 patients (aged between 26 and 62 years) with asymmetric bone marrow distribution or trapped mucous fluid secretions in the petrous apex, collected over a 6-year period. Diagnosis was made with the use of CT scans and MRI. All of the patients were referred for skull base surgery. In all cases a non-pathologic asymmetry was diagnosed in the petrous apex. Certain non-pathologic conditions of the petrous apex must be treated expectantly without any surgery. PMID: 19814987 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Acta Otorrinolaringologica Espanola)

CONCLUSIONS: Staging of otitis allows comparisons of the level of involvement and treatment recommendations: aspiration is advisable in stages II, III and IV; placement of a wick inside the canal is necessary in stages III and IV. Ototopical drops seem to be needed in every case and systemic antibiotics almost only in stage IV. Acidifying agents and topic glycerine vehicles access the canal better than aqueous solutions and would be the first choice in advanced stages.

Joint involvement is usually encountered in major joints (hip, elbow, knee and ankle). Tuberculous involvement of the temporomandibular joint is extremely uncommon but must be considered in patients with pain, inflammation or joint stiffness not resolved with conventional treatment.

[Mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis: An imported illness with ENT repercussions.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We report a case of mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis, an uncommon illness in our area. Leishmaniasis covers a group of diseases caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania with several pathogenic species transmitted by Phlebotomus mosquitoes. Leishmania braziliensis is endemic in parts of South America and is responsible for the mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis reported here. The initial lesion is cutaneous and appears as an ulcer on arms or legs, leaving a scar. In some untreated cases, a late phase may affect the ENT area with hard to treat chronic destructive and mutilating lesions. PMID: 19814979 [PubMed - in process] (Source...

[Solitary extramedullary plasmocytoma of tubaric tonsil.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Several histopathological modalities of tumours can grow in the rhinopharynx. Solitary extramedullary plasmocytoma (SEP) is a low frequent variety of low-grade lymphoma. The aim of this work is to present a new case of SEP localized in rhinopharynx and to perform a review of diagnostic and therapeutic protocols of these neoplasias. They must be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of nasopharyngeal tumours. PMID: 19814980 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Acta Otorrinolaringologica Espanola)

[Clinical symptoms of equilibrium disorders in patients with whiplash syndrome.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with whiplash, the most frequent equilibrium symptom is the sensation of fleeting dizziness associated with head movements, while only a small group suffer from vertigo. Although vestibular tests are normal in most patients, we cannot rule out the existence of otolithic lesions. PMID: 19558900 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Acta Otorrinolaringologica Espanola)
