[Anatomic study of parapharyneal space].

The parapharyngeal space is considered the key space of the suprahioid neck, being essential to establish the origin and anatomic relations of the lesions of the profound neck. The descriptions of the fascial limits of the parapharyngeal space are variable in the litterature, reflecting some ambiguity in the manuals of anatomy and surgery. We have done a detailed study of this region, working on 5 cadavers, fixed in a solution of phenol and alcohol, and correlating the disection pieces with a radiologic study. The goal has been to improve our anatomic knowledge of the suprahioid neck, to be able to establish an anatomo-clinic-radiologic correlation of the lesions of this region, to be able to establish an differential diagnosis, predict possible ways of dissemination and facilitate the most proper surgical approach.

[Three cases of cell granular tumor of the larynx].

Cell Granular Tumor (CGT) are unusual tumors that can affect any site of the body, with most cases affecting the head and neck region. CGT of the larynx is an uncommon laryngeal tumor accounting for approximately 6-10% of the reported cases. In the larynx pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia may predispose to confuse the CGT with frothy (squamous) cell carcinoma. The origin of this tumor is a matter of debate but most authors believe it to be neural in origin.

[Thyroglossal cyst associated with squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx].

Cyst of the thyroglossal duct results from a developmental anomaly of the thyroid gland. There are many congenital neck masses only outnumbered by benign lymphadenopathies. The majority appear in children between 2 und 10 year-old, but nearly a third of cases does not manifest clinically until much later (20 year or so). In association to a carcinoma is an uncommon event, but there are published malignant cases. The AA. report the case of a 74-year-old patient with a neck cystic mass evolving during a 40-year-term associated to a laryngeal squamous carcinoma. The imagery shows the radiological and anatomopathological correlation of changes in the tissues interpreted as a cyst of thyroglossal duct and a squamous carcinoma of the larynx, independent of each other.

[Retropharyngeal abscess].

We present 2 cases of retropharyngeal abscess in adults as complication of acute tonsillitis and cervical pyogenic osteomyelitis, respectively. These cases confirm that retropharyngeal abscess has a significant morbi-mortality despite of new antibiotic drugs introduced. A review of the present characteristics of the complaint is treated in this paper.

[Facial paralysis. Result of our electroneurographic studies].

The Electroneurography (ENoG) is one of the most employed electrodiagnostical techniques in the appraisal of acute facial palsies (AFP). Since 1989 we have to resort systematically to this exploration in our ENT-Department, which task previously was province of the Neurophysiological Service. On accordance with the exam's results we then express the prognostic, regarding the seriousness of the paralysis, and so settle the indication or the abstention for the rehabilitative treatment. We report here a review of 92 APF's seen during 1990 and consider their evolutive course which is compared with that in advance supposed to be. In the light of our final results we venture to say that ENoG, in our hands, is a good prognostical indicator and also is an adequate standard of judgement in order to recommend the rehabilitative management of AFP.

[Pilomatrixoma of the auricle. Differential diagnosis with carcinoma pilomatrixoma].

A 34 year-old man, with a two centimeter diameter quickly growing nodule on the auricular pavillion is presented. After mass excision the histologic diagnosis of pilomatrixoma was made. Pilomatrixoma is a rare benign tumor arising on the hair matrix. The differential diagnosis include pilomatrix carcinoma, a locally and recurrent aggressive tumor capable to make pulmonary metastasis. A review of the literature is included, with emphasis on the clinical and histopathological aspects and the therapeutic attitude.

[Granular-cell tumor of the larynx].

Laryngeal granular cell tumors are rare. The interest of this subject is their peculiar histogenesis, because there is no general agreement on it. The AA. rapport one case in a woman aged 32, and review closely the related literature.

[Neurinoma of the primary facial nerve].

Facial nerve neurinomas are unusual tumors which originate fin the Schwann cells of the nerve sheath. Diagnosis of these tumors has improved in the last years due to radiological and clinical advances. Here presented is a case study of a patient with neurinoma of the primary facial nerve which clinically manifested itself as a recurrent facial paralysis. A high resolution T-C scan was sufficient for tumour identification, treatment consisted in a middle fossa approach and tumour removal followed by hypoglossa-facial anastomosis.
