Progressive necrotizing external otitis: treatment with ticarcillin and tobramycin.
The history of necrotizing external otitis, its diagnosis and management are reviewed. A case history is presented of a patient who was diagnosed as having progressive necrotizing external otitis with facial paralysis. In spite of standard medical treatment and aggressive surgical management, the disease process continued with progressive involvement of Cranial nerves IX and X. The Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria developed an increased minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) to carbenicillin and gentamicin by requiring near toxic blood levels to be effective. Investigational ticarcillin (alpha-carboxy-3-thienylmethylpenicillin) and tobramycin were used successfully in resolving the infection.

The Leyla retractor: use in acoustic neuroma and neurotologic surgery.
The Leyla retractor is a self-retaining retractor used in the translabyrinthine removal of acoustic neuroma and middle fossa surgery. It is used to maintain constant, even pressure on a decompressed sigmoid sinus and cerebellum in translabyrinthine surgery and the temporal lobe in middle fossa surgery. The Leyla retractor provides excellent exposure and greater freedom and dexterity for the neurotologist.
