Abstract

The authors report a patient who presented 4 times a systemic urticaria with arthralgias and fever treated by corticosteroids with efficacy. Wild hop (Humulus lupulus) was finally proved to be the causal factor. H.L. belongs to the cannabinaceas family. Hop dermatitis in hop workers population is the main widely described clinical manifestation. Rhinitis, conjunctivitis, asthma are rare as soon as contact urticaria. IgE-anti Hop induced allergies are described in the literature. However, in some cases of reactions to hop the mechanisms are uncertain: toxicity--possible role of lupuline--or immunoallergic processus with immunocomplexes (IC) (with increased IC in serum) and systemic urticaria such as in our observation.

Surgical closure of the larynx for intractable aspiration, using double hinged flaps of the vocal folds and false vocal folds.

We report a new surgical procedure to treat intractable aspiration: closure of the larynx, using double hinged flaps of the vocal folds and false vocal folds. The anterosuperior portion of the thyroid cartilage is ablated. A small horizontal incision is made just above the anterior commissure and is continued posteriorly along the laryngeal ventricle; these incisions are continued across the posterior wall of the glottis. Incisions are made into the bilateral vocal folds and false vocal folds in order to create the hinged flaps. The glottis and the supraglottis are closed by approximating the bilateral vocal folds and false vocal folds hinged flaps. Superiorly or inferiorly based sternohyoid muscle pedicles are then inserted into the dead space between the approximated bilateral vocal folds and false vocal folds hinged flaps. The removed lamina of the thyroid cartilage is obliterated between both sternohyoid muscle flaps to enforce the closure of the larynx.
