AbstractPersistent labyrinthine symptoms may manifest as unsteadiness veering or frank rotational vertigo. When these symptoms are resistant to medical therapy and are associated with hearing in the involved ear which is not of a serviceable level, then a transmastoid labyrinthectomy may be of value in ridding the individual of this disability. We have found that this operation may be performed expeditiously and safely; and if the entire vestibular epithelium is removed, the results of surgery are effective and predictable.

摘要:

AbstractCombined therapy programs have improved recurrent and nodal metastatic rates but have not controlled distant metastases. A pilot study undertaken at Ohio State University evaluated the feasibility of adding chemotherapy to a combined modality regimen. The first phase determined that the toxicity of a four‐drug combination chemotherapy yielded a favorable risk/benefit ratio and justified its inclusion in a protocol for untreated cancer

摘要:

AbstractA prospective study was carried out to investigate the effectiveness and feasibility of two courses of combination therapy with COB every three weeks prior to surgery and/or radiotherapy in 70 patients with advanced untreated epidermoid cancer of the head and neck. Of 65 patients evaluable after two courses of chemotherapy, 16 had a complete remission (CR) and 36 had a partial remission (PR;>50% —<100%) for a total major response rate of 80

摘要:

AbstractA battery of immunologic tests were performed on 42 patients with recurrent cancer of the head and neck whose median survival time was 6.8 months. Two tests correlated with survival: total white blood cell (WBC) count and the percentage of lymphoid cells (% LG) in the Ficoll‐Hypaque gradient separated leukocyte fraction of bloo

摘要:

AbstractThe initial evaluation of patients with malignant tumors of the head and neck must include an attempt to determine the presence or absence of distant metastases so that the patient's tumor can be accurately staged and appropriate treatment planned. To determine the value of routine bone and liver scans in detecting distant metastases, the records of 169 patients with head and neck carcinoma, on whom such scans were performed, were reviewed retrospectively.

摘要:

AbstractThe micro‐otoscopic, audiometric and tympanometric findings were correlated in 204 ears seen in a Veterans Administration Hospital ear clinic. Otoscopy, audiometry and tympanometry were done during the same clinical visits. In most cases pneumo‐otoscopy with the microscope also was performed. Because we were unable to standardize pressures, we found pneumo‐otoscopy of limited

摘要:

AbstractTwo cases of nonkeratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (transitional cell carcinoma), both of which arose in the Eustachian tube, and two cases of neurilemoma of the nasopharynx are reported. All four patients presented with unilateral serous otitis media. The duration of the unilateral serous otitis media in these patients ranged from 1 1/2 to 8 years. This emphasizes the fact that adult patients with unilateral serous otitis media without a history of an upper respiratory tract infection or of barotrauma should undergo thorough examination to rule out the presence of an unusual underlying pathologic condition.

摘要:

AbstractThe American Hearing Research Foundation has developed a regional Infant Screening Program in the state of Illinois, designed to meet the vital need for early identification of hearing impairment on a mass scale. The four major components of the program include: 1. Application of the High Risk Register to the general newborn population, 2. Hearing Screening in the Intensive Care Nursery, 3. Electrophysiologic confirmation with Brain Stem Electric Response testing and 4. Subsequent and immediate remediation and/or habilitation.

摘要:

AbstractPressure receptors exist within the walls of the carotid bulb which are responsible for maintaining the balance between blood volume, vascular tone, and cardiac output. When these receptors are manipulated during neck surgery the result may be bradycardia, hypotension or cardiac arrythmia. Such events occur sporatically during head and neck surgery and occasionally may prove fatal. While many surgeons advocate anesthetizing the carotid bulb prophylactically, this practice is not universally accepted.

摘要:

AbstractThe differential diagnosis of masses in the preauricular and retromandibular regions includes a number of diseases in addition to primary tumors of the parotid. The lesions most commonly misdiagnosed as parotid tumors are intraparotid lymph nodes involved with inflammatory or neoplastic disease. Metastatic tumors in parotid nodes are unusual but must be considered. We present 12 patients with isolated metastases to parotid lymph nodes. Nine of the patients had primary tumors in the local afferent lymphatic bed. Three patients had metastases from unknown or distant sites. The majority of tumors that metastasize to the parotid are of cutaneous origin. Six of the patients had squamous cell carcinomas, three had adenocarcinomas, two melanomas and one a small cell carcinoma. The treatment of parotid metastases from local tumors is surgical removal of the parotid and associated regional nodes with postoperative irradiation therapy in certain instances. Management of the facial nerve should follow those principles appropriate for primary parotid tumors.
