Laryngeal tuberculosis.

Laryngeal tuberculosis is the most frequent granulomatous disease of the larynx. The disease has changed its behaviour with regard to average age of onset site and type of lesion. Laryngeal tuberculosis is usually secondary to, or at least contemporary with, pulmonary tuberculosis. Other recents studies, however, conclude by accepting a frequency of up to 20% for primary laryngeal tuberculosis. The age of presentation is between 41-50 years. Among the risk factors identified are the consumption of tobacco, alcohol, malnutrition and immunodeficiency. The predominant symptom was dysphonia (90%) either in isolation or accompanied by odynophagia (45%). Today, the ulcero-infiltrative lesions which predominantly affected the posterior larynx are not observed. At the present time the macroscopic appearance corresponds to a diffuse oedema or to a pseudo-tumoral image located in any zone. Any non-specific chronic laryngitis of poor evolution should lead us to suspect a laryngeal tuberculosis.

[Auditory brain stem response and child attention deficit hyperactivity disorder].

Diagnostic audiological test performed in two children showed remarkable differences between the results of behavioral audiometry and those of auditory evoked response audiometry. The results of neuropsychological evaluation showed attention disorders. It is possible that a response desynchronisation in the auditory pathway may exist in these disorders. Interpretation of ABR findings can be problematic in children with learning disabilities or minimal cerebral dysfunction.

[Chronic granulomatous disease: the surgical aspects].

Chronic granulomatous disease is characterized by recurrent infections that have an aggressive course in spite of medical treatment. Surgery is necessary, starting early in life, to treat the infections episodes. We present four patients affected by recurrent infections episodes needing a variety of treatments, who were finally diagnosed with chronic granulomatous disease. Our aim is to emphasize the importance of clinical suspicion in order to make an early accurate diagnosis, and to underline the role of surgery in the resolution of the infection spells that occur along the file of the pediatric patients affected by this disease.
