[Nasal ciliary immobility and its otological consequences].
Ultrastructural anomalies were studied in vibratory cilia of middle ear mucosa and findings compared with those observed in pituitary and bronchial mucosae. Anomalies noted on electron microscopy are reported and commented.
[Mediofacial necrosis and malignant centrofacial granuloma. Apropos of 8 cases and 1 with atypical localizations].
Since the first descriptions by McBride and then Stewart, and later reports by wegener, numerous publications have contained data emphasizing the diagnostic and classification difficulties of these affections, 450 cases having been documented up to the present times. Findings clearly demonstrate that mediofacial necrosis differs greatly by its pathological, etiopathogenic and out come features, and particularly the localization of the lesions. Eight case were investigated, and conclusions drawn that it was important to identify the different affections grouped under the term "mediofacial necrosis", in order to isolate cases of pure malignant centrofacial granuloma, which have no detectable etiology and cannot be integrated in another nosological framework.
[An uncommon localization of upper respiratory-digestive tract tuberculosis: the cavum].
On the basis of a personal case, the authors recall the features of tuberculosis in the cavum. These lesions can resemble malignant tumours of the rhino-pharynx and they are part of the differential diagnosis. In particular, the authors stress the existence of rhino-pharyngeal tuberculosis with very few symptoms, which need to be investigated routinely in the context of a survey of proven pulmonary tuberculosis.
[Cervical cystic lymphangiomas in adults].
Cystic hygromas, infrequent in children, are even rarer in adults where they are generally unexpected operative findings. Now, with the progress in modern medical imaging, the diagnosis can be suggested before operation. Analysis of the embryogenesis helps to explain the different anatomical and clinical forms and the relations of the cystic hygroma with neighboring tissues, particularly of venous origin. 9 cases of cystic hygroma of the neck in adults are reported and discussed with 26 other well documented cases from the literature. The diagnosis can be confirmed only after operation and histological examination. Surgical removal is technically less difficult in adults than in children and recurrences are rare.
