- Natural history of a squamous cell carcinoma of the lower lip. [Case Reports]B-ENT. 2017; 13(1 Suppl 27):79-82.B
- CONCLUSIONS: Despite the tumor stage and co-morbidities, the patient makes the treatment decisions; therefore, the implications of these decisions must be discussed.
- Mucosal cavernous hemangioma of the maxillary sinus: a series of 3 cases. [Case Reports]
- CONCLUSIONS: CH is rare in the sinonasal tract but must be considered in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant sinonasal tumors in adults. An endonasal endoscopic medial maxillectomy enabled complete tumor removal with optimal control of its extensions and vascular supply. This approach is associated with less morbidity than an open approach. When nosebleeds are present, injection of a contrast agent and a preoperative arterial embolization are recommended.
- Endoscopic endonasal removal of median palatine cyst. [Case Reports]
- CONCLUSIONS: A median palatine cyst is mostly asymptomatic and painless at palpation. However, its structure, with chronic inflammation and detritus, can be regarded as a focus of chronic infection. Surgery is the only effective method of treatment, and relapse after surgery is rare.
- Stridor caused by a blue laryngeal mass in an infant: case report. [Case Reports]B-ENT. 2017; 13(1 Suppl 27):61-65.B
- Stridor caused by.a blue laryngeal mass in an infant: case report. We describe an infant who had inspiratory stridor that began a few weeks after birth. Flexible upper airway endoscopy while the infant was awake showed a large blue mass at the posterior glottis, above the esophageal inlet. The lesion was only visible upon crying or coughing; it was undetectable when we examined the infant in the …
- Plunging ranula with prestyloid parapharyngeal space, masticator space, and parotid gland extension. [Case Reports]
- CONCLUSIONS: The case is unique due to ranula extension into multiple spaces. For optimal treatment, the sublingual gland along with its tract and contents needs to completely removed.
- Unexpected overnight stay following ENT day-case surgery: a 5-year audit. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: Our present findings highlight the various reasons for unexpected overnight admission after day-case surgery. To reduce the rate of unexpected overnight stays, we need to better understand these different reasons to support the ongoing search for possible solutions.
- Bipolar diathermy-assisted coblation really affects post-tonsillectomy haemorrhage rate and white membrane in paediatric tonsillectomy. [Randomized Controlled Trial]
- CONCLUSIONS: bipolar diathermy-assisted coblation can reduce post-tonsillectomy haemorrhage (PTH) rate, operation time, the volume of blood loss during surgery and the white membrane thickness of tonsillar fossa. The thickness of the white membrane of tonsil fossa is positively correlated with postoperative pain degree. The time needed to resume a regular diet showed no significant differences between the two groups.
- Residual cholesteatoma revealed by endoscopy after microsurgery. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopy is advantageous for the assessment of residual cholesteatoma in hidden areas.
- The role of cVEMPs and vHIT in the evaluation of otosclerosis and its eventual vestibular impairment: preliminary findings. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate a probable traumatic saccular impairment in patients with vestibular symptoms. However, a longer follow-up may help in understanding the behaviour of cVEMPs in post-stapes surgery vertigo.
- Felix tympanoplasty: functional results of a single surgeon's technique in the scope of a literature review on influencing factors. [Review]B-ENT. 2017; 13(1 Suppl 27):23-30.B
- Felix tympanoplasty: functional results of a single surgeon's technique in the scope of a literature review on influencing factors.
- Transnasal endoscopic management of anterior cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak: experience from a large case series. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: The endoscopic transnasal approach is a reliable technique for treating CSF leaks. The intrathecal fluorescein test is safe and helpful in locating the defect. The fascia lata proved the best graft available in our experience.
- Effects of Smoking on healthy oral mucosa: a red-green-blue (photographic) evaluation. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: The study revealed that the normal oral mucosae of the smokers were clearly darker than the non-smokers'. This finding is significant because dark mucosa is thought to be the precursor to any premalignant lesions.
- Surgical treatments for snoring. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: All surgical treatments effectively and persistently reduced snoring and sleepiness symptom scores. The highest rates of success were observed with osteotomies and UPPP/FEP procedures.
- Middle turbinate primary mucocele in a child masquerading as a nasal tumour. [Case Reports]
- CONCLUSIONS: Clinicians must be aware of less common aetiologies of nasal obstruction in order to orientate the diagnostic work-up and to propose adequate management.
- Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the nasal septum. [Case Reports]
- CONCLUSIONS: No recurrence was observed over 36 months of follow-up. Here we discussed this uncommon case along with a literature review.
