[Bilateral laryngeal paralysis in adduction: therapeutic aspects].

Fourteen patients with bilateral laryngeal paralysis in adduction were studied. Six of these patients were treated by arytenoidopexy and chordopexy, and the other 8 underwent endoscopic CO2 laser endoscopy. After comparison of the two groups we concluded that the latter technique yielded better respiratory and phonatory results than others previously used.

[Rhinocerebral mucormycosis].

Mucormycosis is unusual in ORL pathology. We present a case of a 53-year-old patient in the dialysis program for the past 6 years for renal insufficiency. Starting with some trouble in the left lacrimal region, he was diagnosed by his ophthalmologist as having deep dacryocystitis, appearing as an ulcero-necrotic lesion on the same side of the nasal dorsum. In the presumption of clinical mucormycosis, a microbiological and histological study was done to confirm the diagnosis, starting treatment with amphotericin B. Because of the rapid extension of the lesion, surgical debridement of the zone was done but his evolution was bad, lapsing into a coma and requiring a neurosurgical operation for intracranial complications. The patient died 12 days after admission. For that reason we did an evaluation of the problem and also a review of the literature.
