Emergency management of bilateral choanal atresia in the newborn by the endoscopic endonasal approach: a clinical record and review of literature.

The advent of rigid paediatric nasal endoscopy has revolutionised management of congenital choanal atresia. We believe that the endoscopic endonasal approach is a simple, safe and reliable procedure that can be employed in the management of bilateral choanal atresia in the newborn. We present here a case of bilateral choanal atresia in a 36 h old female neonate, managed by this state-of-the-art technique. A literature review of all reports using this approach has been compiled and presented.

Laryngeal carcinoma ex-papilloma in a non-irradiated, non-smoking patient: a clinical record and review of the literature.

Malignant transformation of respiratory papillomata is not uncommon in the presence of precipitating factors such as tobacco smoking and therapeutic irradiation. Respiratory papilloma changing to carcinoma in the absence of smoking and irradiation is seldom seen, with only about 20 documented cases presented in the literature. Here we report one such case in a 30-year-old male patient.

The styloid process in ossicular chain reconstruction. II: Long-term analysis.

The human cadaveric styloid process was used as a homograft material for ossicular chain reconstruction in 41 cases of chronic suppurative otitis media over a five-year period. Although technical success was achieved in about 88.23 per cent of the cases, actual patient benefit was around 70.58 per cent; this is comparable to results obtained with most other homologous graft materials. The problem of breakage while remodelling the bone has also increased the risk of transmitting the AIDS virus and consequently undermines the use of this material.
