Tumors of ceruminous glands, called "ceruminoma" are rare. They arise from the ceruminous glands of the external auditory canal. They realise a group of glandular tumors diversified in histologic pattern and prognosis. Three patients with ceruminous gland tumors are reported: one case of ceruminous adenoma, one case of adenocarcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma in the third one.
Spontaneous CSF rhinorrhoea, secondary to trauma in the great majority of cases, is very rare (3-4%). The authors report a case of spontaneous CSF rhinorrhoea secondary to an ethmoidal osteodural defect, diagnosed by digital cisternography and confirmed by the surgical operation. The value of digital opaque cisternography and its place in the diagnostic arsenal are discussed.

Based on seventeen cases of upper digestive and respiratory tract tuberculosis, the authors review the different localizations of the disease. The mean age of the patients is 34 years old. The diagnostic is based on bacteriological and especially histological examination. The prognostic of the affection is excellent if tuberculosis chemotherapy is used for a minimum of 9 months.
Our work consists of a comparative study of 4 therapeutic protocols for treatment of otological infection from the pyocyanic bacillus, and more specifically of 19 patients with a necrotizing malignant otitis, 24 patients with perichondritis and 12 patients suffering from a post-operative infection. The association of Cefsulodin (a 3rd generation Cephalosporin) and Gentamicin gave the best results. A major decrease of the time of treatment and a total absence of infectious complications were in fact recorded. The adjuvant therapies were duly observed for the 4 protocols, in particularly the surgical treatment and the treatment of the site (diabetes).
