Publication date: Available online 1 February 2018 Source:Egyptian Journal of Ear, Nose, Throat and Allied Sciences Author(s): Fahd Alharbi Leiomyomas are benign tumors arising from smooth muscle, most commonly seen in uterine myometrium, gastrointestinal tract, skin and lower extremities of middle-aged women. Leiomyomas are uncommon in the oral cavity and leiomyomas of head and neck region account for less than 1% of all leiomyomas. The purpose of this article is to present a case of 18 years old male patient with a history of several months of oral leiomyoma on the right side of the soft palate. The clinical feature...

High riding of brachiocephalic artery: A rare case of pulsatile anterior neck mass
We presented a rare diagnosis of pulsatile anterior neck swelling where a high riding brachiocephalic artery needs to be considered as a differential diagnosis. This 54-year-old lady presented with anterior neck swelling for one year which appear to be pulsatile, soft and non-tender mass. Ultrasound and Doppler scan, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) scan revealed that the neck swelling corresponds to the high riding brachiocephalic artery. Hence, ultrasound scan is essential to detect any vascular lesion prior to biopsy or fine needle aspiration cytology as to avoid catastrophic hemorrhage. (Source: Egyptian Jo...

Health-related quality of life in elderly hearing aid users vs. non-users
Publication date: Available online 8 December 2017 Source:Egyptian Journal of Ear, Nose, Throat and Allied Sciences Author(s): Eman A. Said Background and aim Presbycusis, is usually a harbinger of aging. The negative consequences are not limited to an auditory impairment but influences a range of psychosocial and physical health concerns. The cornerstone of audiologic intervention is the use hearing aids. Optimal management should include an evaluation of quality of life (QoL) status and its assessment. Aim of this work: To quantify the quality of life of hearing impaired elderly individuals (HIEI) and to assess hearin...

Intracranial metastasis of follicular thyroid carcinoma mimicking cerebellopontine angle tumour
Publication date: Available online 6 December 2017 Source:Egyptian Journal of Ear, Nose, Throat and Allied Sciences Author(s): Li Yun Lim, Jamuneswary Selvarajoo, Norhafiza Mat Lazim, Ing Ping Tang Cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumour is most commonly associated acoustic neuroma. The occurrence of metastatic brain tumour at CPA is rare. Follicular thyroid carcinoma is second most common well differentiated thyroid malignancy and brain metastasis is unusual. We would like to report an unusual presentation of follicular thyroid carcinoma with brain metastasis at the CPA region. A 60 year old gentleman presented with o...

Surgical strategy for frontal sinus inverted papilloma
Conclusions The exact approach to frontal sinus IP differ from one case to the other. Endoscopic frontal surgery is the mainstay in treatment of frontal sinus IP. External or combined approaches still remain a valid option for lesions affecting the mucosa of the frontal sinus extensively or extending far lateral.

The role of Mannose-binding lectin 2 (MBL2) gene polymorphisms in adenoid hypertrophy among young children
Conclusion The difference between the MBL2 (SNP 49 C/T rs#5030737) gene polymorphism among adenoid hypertrophy patients and healthy people may indicate it could be used as an early predictive factor for children whom will be prone to adenoid hypertrophy. The genotype CC could be considered as a risk factor while CT genotype could be considered a protective factor against adenoid hypertrophy in the current study. A further study needed to evaluate the use of the above mentioned polymorphism as a prognostic value foradenoid hypertrophy. (Source: Egyptian Journal of Ear, Nose, Throat and Allied Sciences)

Atypical multiple metastasis of recurrent pleomorphic adenoma
We describe a case of 55-year-old lady who underwent left superficial parotidectomy for pleomorphic adenoma 14 years prior to current presentation. After 8 years, she presented with ipsilateral level II lymph node, in which excision showed pleomorphic adenoma. Within 2 years after excision, she experienced another multiple small neck swellings at the level II-III, in which histopathology examination of the excised masses were consistent with pleomorphic adenoma, without evidence of lymph node background to suggest metastasis.

Study of interactions between odorant molecules and the hOR1G1 olfactory receptor by molecular modeling
Publication date: Available online 6 December 2017 Source:Egyptian Journal of Ear, Nose, Throat and Allied Sciences Author(s): Assia Belhassan, Hanane Zaki, Samir Chtita, Mohamed Benlyas, Tahar Lakhlifi, Mohammed Bouachrine In order to initiate the process of determining how the molecular level receptor-odorant interactions are related to odor perception, we used the SWISS-MODEL modeling server to predict the three dimensional (3D) structure of the human olfactory receptor (hOR1G1). The model was refined using minimization and side-chain optimization using SCWRL. We then used the Autodockvina and Autodock tools to ...
