[Approach to cochleovestibular tolerability of aminoglycosides in man. Demonstration of a methodology apropos of a controlled comparative trial of dibekacin versus gentamicin].

A controlled trial comparing the effects of dibekacin and gentamicin in 30 patients has enabled us to standardise the most commonly used vestibulocochlear tests. None of the patients treated with dibekacin showed any auditory disturbance. The only abnormality detected was on vocal audiometry in 7 patients treated with gentamicin. Could vocal audiometry be the first paraclinical test capable of detecting aminoglycoside ototoxicity?

[Two cases of total ophthalmoplegia after section of the vidian nerve (author's transl)].

The authors report two cases of complete ophthalmoplegia occurring during surgical section of the homolateral vidian nerve for chronic nasal obstruction due in one case to hypertrophic rhinitis and in the other to nasal polyposis. In both cases, whilst there was more or less complete regression of the oculomotor paralyses, unilateral amaurosis persisted as a permanent sequela. This paper is published with the aim of drawing attention to the possibility of complications which are out of proportion with the initial symptomatic discomfort and which may occur whatever the surgical approach used since one of the operations was performed via a pure endonasal approach whilst the other was transmaxillary. In both cases there was no damage to the orbit during surgery and the most likely pathogenesis would appear to be a reflex aciton.

[Homografts of the tympano-ossicular systems. Technic of removal and preservation].

The use of homografts appears to be a promising method of repairing the sequelae of chronic otitis. The authors describe their method of removing the temporal, dissecting the tympano-ossicular system and labelling and preserving the grafts. A homograft bank can be set up and this is a very necessary preliminary in the regular application of this type of surgery.
