Inflammatory exophthalmos with visual loss due to optic atrophy is reported in a 45-year-old man. Computed tomography showed an ethmoido-frontal mucocel. This single case stresses the severe complication of a mucocel like optic nerve head atrophy. The different tools for diagnosis and treatment are also emphasized.
The authors report their exploration's test of efferent pathway through the BERA with the wave one's surface... Thirty one subjects have been tested. If we can deduce through this study the interaction of the two cochlea by efferent pathway.
The otorhinolaryngologic (O.R.L.) diseases seen in the emergency room are frequent and diverse. Most of them need the otorhinolaryngologist and anaesthetist to be present in order to realise fast, adequate and, above all, well coordinated gestures. The foreign bodies, the hemorrhagies, the traumas, the infectious diseases and finally the respiratory distress can be classified by frequency order. The laryngo tracheal dyspneas (DL) are first considered because they are the most dramatic emergencies: infectious DL in children, DL secondary to tracheal intubation or tracheotomy, DL caused by a tumor, traumatic DL secondary to a knock, a blast, a burn or a thyroidectomy, edematous DL and "DL after tracheotomy". The infectious O.R.L. emergencies are observed in the serious pharyngeal diseases, in the cervical cellulitis and during the complications of sinusitis or mastoiditis. The foreign bodies (CE) are the most frequent cause of O.R.L emergencies. The complications depends of the location of the foreign: almost nonexistent if the CE is located in the nasal fossa or in the meatus acusticus externus, inconstant if CE is oropharyngeal or oesophageal. The complications may be fatal if CE is pharyngotracheal and are relevant to the exact location of CE which result in emergency behavior. The considered oesophageous lesions not due to CE are chemical burns and perforations; in emergency, hemorrhagic O.R.L. lesions only epistaxias are concerned; O.R.L. hemorrhage need to be studied with their specific causes.
The authors report 8 cases of youthful otosclerosis over 512 surgical otosclerosis cases. This study is compared for literature's datas: frequency comparable (1 to 1.6%), start age sometimes early, before 4 years for one case. The family's antecedents are quickly, but not always present. The clinical and audiometric study are detailed. In all cases one inner ear malformation (communication with cerebrospinal fluid) has been eliminated by one computer tomography. The treatment is often a long follow up, to operate in adolescent age, or adult. The surgery is earlier, when the hearing loss is fast. This surgery is classic and one hypertrophic stapedius platine is often found. The results are not as good as those in adults, but are correct.
Histopathologic diagnosis in three patients presenting with a cervicofacial salivary tumoral mass was respectively an inflamed accessory salivary glands, two small islets of ectopic salivary glands and an ectopic salivary duct.
An experimental study of the spleen segmentary vascularisation was conducted by the "injection-corrosion" technique. Most often was found the well known existence of two lobes, each being divided into two segments, separated by asvascular planes. However we stress the possibility of deviation from this schema, either by the existence of supernumerary polar arteries, or by anomalies in the distribution of segmental arteries.
