[Functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Evaluation methods and results].

Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is now undoubtedly the choice procedure for the surgical treatment of chronic sinusitis and nasal polyposis after failure of medical treatment. Between January 1990 and December 1992, 51 patients with chronic sinusitis and 44 with nasal polyposis who underwent FESS were evaluated (170 ethmoidectomies). Preoperative evaluation is obtained through personal scaling combined with a CT of the sinuses, whereas postoperative assessment is based on the same scoring together with an endoscopic evaluation. Good functional results and no significant differences between the two types of pathology are obtained after a 1 year follow-up.

[Nasal endoscopic treatment of a CSF fistula. Clinical case].

A patient presenting a recent spontaneous C.S.F. leak was endoscopically treated. Several materials were used to seal off the fistula. The literature on the etiology and treatment of C.S.F. leaks is presented.

[Sleep apnea syndrome. Evaluation following uvulopalatopharyngoplasty].

20 cases of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty performed on patients suffering from sleep apnea syndrome have been studied with a pre- and post-operative polysomnographic recording. Eleven patients (55%) responded to this therapy and showed a significative decrease of their post-operative apnea-hypopnea index. An increase of the mean oxygen saturation was noticed during sleep. On the contrary, the sleep quality did not improve. Age, weight, apnea index are not predictive factors influencing the result of UPPP. Even if UPPP has a relatively poor success rate it still should be proposed to patients suffering from sleep apnea syndrome as it remains the simplest and best tolerated surgical treatment.

[Evoked oto-acoustic emissions: results in at-risk newborn infants].

Fourty newborns (80 ears) from the intensive care unit were tested with evoked oto-acoustic emission (EOAE). The occurrence of EOAE was 93%.

[Spontaneous oto-acoustic potentials. Results in normal-hearing subjects].

36 normal hearing subjects were tested for spontaneous oto-acoustic emissions. The data obtained are presented and discussed.

The occurrence of evoked oto-acoustic emissions in a normal adult population and neonates.

In our study, 71 normal-hearing ears from adults and 39 from neonates (n = 110) were tested by the advanced echo test technique devised and described by Kemp (ILO 88). Almost all ears (97% and 95%) showed emissions. This material is convenient for clinical routine in adults and for neonatal screening.

[Provoked acoustic emissions. Results in the newborn infant].

Fifty-four children (104 ears) were examined by the basal echo test technique (Evoked acoustic emissions). The value as screening test is discussed.

[Evoked auditory responses in subjects with normal hearing].

Evoked acoustic emissions is a new clinical method proposed for the exploration of the cochlea and also for infant screening. Eighty five normal hearing ears were screened by this technique. Clinical potential of this technique is discussed.

[Evoked otoacoustic emissions. Results in hypoacusis].

Otoacoustic emissions are present in the majority of normal hearing ears. Hearing loss of different types generally doesn't show evoked acoustic emissions. Sixty-seven impaired ears of different degrees and types where examined to precise the kind of hearing losses unable to elicit oto-acoustic emissions.
