[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.

[Ambulatory myringoplasty].

Description of a technique for ambulant Myringoplasty applicable to repair tympanic perforations no greater than a drum quadrant, by means of lyophilized dura mater and perichondrium. The results in 61 cases, two years after surgery, were gratifying both otoscopically and audiologically, and accordingly the AA, vindicate this alternative option for endaural myringoplasty.

[Treatment of malignant otitis externa].

Though rare the malignant otitis externa must be borne in mind because in its precocious diagnosis is based the success of the management. Elderly people, diabetics and immunodepressed are especially exposed. The CAT is basic in order to detect the spreading of the process. The patient being admitted at a Medical center, the antibiotherapy started at once with Ceftazidine, 2 g every 12 hours via i.v. The exeresis of the e.e.ca proves sometimes necessary after control of the infection. This procedure assures the healing and prevent the recurrences some times seen. But when infection disappears owing to the success of the antibiotherapy in 2-3 weeks; the culture for Pseudomonas is negative 3 weeks later; and the previous CAT showed no spreading to the tympanal bone, the surgery must be discarded. The process is considered over when the culture for Pseudomonas aeruginosa is negative, but review of the patients is compulsory at least during half a year.

[Indications and contraindications for intranasal endoscopic and microscopic surgery of the nose and sinuses].

The indications of the pure endoscopic surgery (CEN) and of the combined microscopic and endoscopic surgery (MCEN) in naso-sinusal pathology, they are established by means of the mixed valuation and systematization of the anamnesis, the endoscopy and the computerized tomography (TC). In the anamnesis the antecedents will be related carefully in the current history. In the exploration will be studied with full particulars the nose and the paranasal sinuses by means of the endoscopy and the TC (coronal and axial) with the purpose of valuing perfectly the anatomical variations and the sinusal content. The result of it is the listing of indications, that which the authors comment the corresponding to adults and children. For last the authors commented the absolute and relative contraindications.

[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.
