How we do it: the Bradford grommet trainer: a model for training in myringotomy and grommet insertion.

Myringotomy and grommet insertion is the most common operative procedure in otological practice. We describe a simple, cheap and effective model for the junior trainee to develop the skills required for myringotomy and grommet insertion without compromising patient safety. As the materials required for our model are more readily available, it is more likely to gain widespread acceptance in ENT training.

Primary hyperparathyroidism in pregnancy.

Primary hyperparathyroidism during pregnancy carries significant risks to both mother and fetus. Parathyroidectomy remains the only definitive treatment for the condition. The timing of surgery remains controversial, with ongoing debate regarding the safety of surgery during the third trimester. A case of symptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism treated by parathyroidectomy in the third trimester is described. The clinical features, investigations and treatment options are discussed.

Internal jugular vein thrombosis following ovarian hyperstimulation.

Superovulation therapy with in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment may result in ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and a hypercoaguable state. The site of thrombus formation is commonly in the upper venous extremities. One case of bilateral internal jugular vein thrombosis following ovarian hyperstimulation is described. The clinical presentation, investigations and management are discussed.

Delayed diagnosis of laryngeal foreign body.

Aspiration of a foreign body is a recognized cause of accidental death in children. Paediatricians are aware of the symptoms of inhaled foreign bodies in the lower respiratory tract. However, symptoms which suggest impaction in the larynx do not appear to raise the same index of suspicion of a foreign body. One case of laryngeal foreign body is described with a delay in diagnosis of five days. The clinical presentation, investigations and management are discussed.

An unusual pattern of intubation injury?

Post-intubation laryngeal dysfunction is well documented. Both common and rare patterns of injury have been described in the literature. An unusual pattern of intubation injury is described in this case report. The different patterns of post-intubation laryngeal injury are discussed as well as the possible aetiology in the case described.
