[Importance of the styloid process syndrome in the differential diagnosis of facial pain].

The reported 2 cases of processus styloideus syndrome deserve attention because of their rarity. In the case of complains of uncertain origin and radiating chiefly into the tongue also the processus styloideus syndrome is to be taken into consideration. With the surgical treatment, after having the diagnosis, a well treated illness can be separated from the group of those illnesses in which the main problem is facial pain.

Diagnosis, Differential

Several years of observation with Mydeton in the treatment of lockjaw.

Several years' observations with the muscle relaxant Mydeton (150 mg coated tablet) in the treatment of lockjaw of different etiology have been discussed. The trismus relieving action of the drug was proved by objective examinations. It has been concluded that Mydeton is of high therapeutic value in relieving muscular spasms of the maxillofocal region of different etiology and it may be used without risk in both hospitalized cases and outpatients.

Administration, Oral

Effect of nickel ions on spontaneous, electrically and norepinephrine stimulated isometric contractions in the isolated portal vein of the rat.

The effect of low concentrations (1-10 microM) of nickel (Ni2+) was studied on the spontaneous contractile activity of isolated rat portal vein preparations. To distinguish between presynaptic and postsynaptic actions, Ni2+-induced changes of isometric force development evoked either by electrical field stimulation (80V/5 cm; 1 msec; 1-32 Hz) or by exogenous norepinephrine (NE) were compared. Ni2+ inhibited spontaneous isometric force development, decreased basal tone but significantly increased the frequency of contractions. The experimental findings that inhibition of the effect of selective stimulation of adrenergic nerves was significantly more pronounced than the depression of contractions evoked by exogenous norepinephrine indicate that in addition to postsynaptic actions, Ni2+ influences presynaptic mechanisms (i.e. NE-release) in this vessel preparation.

Clinical and histologic studies on electrogalvanically induced oral white lesions.

Among 1,128 patients with oral leukoplakia and 326 patients with oral lichen planus included in long-term follow-up studies, thirty-two patients showed lesions of the oral mucosa which could be attributed to electrogalvanism. The material consisted of twenty female and twelve male patients. The clinical diagnosis was leukoplakia in sixteen patients and oral lichen planus in the remaining sixteen patients. Histopathologic characteristics were analyzed and correlated to the clinical findings. In five cases malignant transformation developed. The term electrogalvanic white lesions is suggested as a common denominator for these mucosal changes, which seem to take the shape of lichen planus as often as that of leukoplakia.

[Contribution to the styloid process syndrome].

The report on 4 cases of the styloid process syndrome seems remarkable because of the rarity of this syndrome. In case of complaints of doubtful origin and mainly characterized by pain radiating to the tongue, the styloid process should also be taken into consideration. The diagnosis is confirmed by palpating the styloid process along the mandibular ramus and by radiography. Treatment consists in removing the styloid process by operation.
