Treatment of maxillary cysts.

Differing classification systems for cysts of the maxilla have resulted in confusion in the literature regarding these cysts. We feel that proper evaluation and treatment is essentially the same regardless of the classificatory system employed. The hallmark of proper treatment of these cysts is meticulous removal of all cyst lining to prevent recurrence. Three case reports are presented and discussed.

Venous hum as a cause of reversible factitious sensorineural hearing loss.

Self-heard venous hums have been previously documented and recognized as one cause of audible pulsatile tinnitus. A patient presented with a right internal jugular venous hum causing audible tinnitus and a right sensorineural hearing loss, both of which resolved after high ligation of the right internal jugular vein. We speculate that the hearing loss measured initially was factitious and represented a masking effect due to the venous hum.
