[Supernumerary nostril].

Supernumerary nostril is an extremely rare congenital anomaly as a result of aberrant embryological development. Frequently it leads to a narrow cavity; in the end, opening into the nearest nasal cavity or just stops blindly after a short course. It can appear isolated or in association with other anomalies. Treatment is always surgical. We present a case of a triple nostril, associated to a congenital auricular hypoplasia and we also review the existing literature.

[Subjective satisfaction among patients with endoscopic surgery of paranasal sinuses].

The analysis of the subjective satisfaction degree in patients following endoscopic sinus surgery is a very important data to be studied in a ENT Hospital Departments. In a very high percentage of cases, the result was good or very good. No cases were reported as worse. Statistically the relationship between non-existence of post surgery complications and the rate of symptoms of smaller importance was logical. We would like to point out the importance in the meaningful association between the high degree of satisfaction with the presence of significant postoperative endoscopic findings.

[Subcutaneous autograft with newly synthesized cartilage using ethisorb polymer in rabbits].

We perform a subcutaneous autograft, in animals with preserved immunity (24 rabbits), of cartilage taken from the auricle, treated with tissue engineering thecnics and embeded in a reabsorbable polimer (Ethisorb) that acts as base. We observed a good quality cartilage with the expression of collagen type II and without graft rejection phenomenon.

[Bilateral carotid chemodectoma on the external carotid arteries. A case report].

Tumors of the carotid body are rare neoplasms that arise from neuroectodermic tissues. They are located in the fork of the primitive carotid artery. They are benign, slow-growing, and asymptomatic, and predominate in women. We present a case of bilateral carotid chemodectoma on the external carotids. These tumors were diagnosed by CT, MRI and superselective angiography. The treatment of choice is surgical after arteriographic embolization. Exeresis is curative in most cases, but some cases require radiotherapy.

[Familial mixed hearing loss associated with X chromosome and stapedial gusher].

Perilymphatic and/or CSF loss through the oval window during stapedectomy is called a gusher. This rare disorder is associated with X-linked progressive mixed hearing loss. It is related with mutations in the POU3F4 gene at locus DFN3 on Xq21. Our study of the cases seen in our department yielded information and clinical and radiological findings that could be useful for the clinical management, early diagnosis, and prevention of erroneous therapeutic indications.
