摘要:

Ear, nose and throat symptoms and signs were studied in 15 patients with Kartagener's syndrome: a triad consisting of chronic rhinosinusitis, chronic bronchitis with bronchiectasis, and situs inversus. The triad is caused by primary ciliary dyskinesia and characterized by absent or considerably reduced mucociliary transport. Daily accumulation of secretions in the nose, chronic recurrent secretory otitis media and sinusitis occurred in all subjects. Characteristically, nasal discharge started at birth or was first detected in early childhood. Apparently, the frequency of common colds and of acut purulent otitis media was not increased. As primary ciliary dyskinesia can occur without situs inversus, knowledge of the typical ENT symptoms is essential for making an early diagnosis, which is important for the correct management of the disease. While a conservative surgical approach to treatment of the ENT symptoms is recommended, early and active treatment of the bronchial symptoms is probably important for prevention of further lung damage and development of bronchiectasis.

摘要:

The paper describes three cases of an unusual and serious vascular problem encountered during middle ear surgery, involving a markedly abnormal course of the internal carotid artery. The management of these cases, and a review of the features of other arterial anomalies encountered in the middle ear is presented.

摘要:

The response of patients with suspected Ménière's disease to the glycerin test was reviewed in a prospective evaluation covering a 10 year period. Three hundred and eightly three patients with 495 suspect ears were tested and were classified as to hearing improvement 3 h post‐orally administered glycerin. Two hundred twenty‐five patients (265 ears) were diagnosed as Ménière's disease. Sixty‐six percent of these ears showed significant hearing improvement by pure tone threshold and/or speech discrimination measurements with the glycerin test. The test protocol developed and revised at the University of Washington provides a differential diagnostic means of identifying endolymphatic hydrops which is a specific and practical test. It is easily available as a routine office

摘要:

The effect of diatrizoate meglumine (Hypaque) upon the perilymphatic oxygenation has been investigated using the polarographic method in cats submitted to various conditions such as normoxia, apnea, hypercapnea and chronically reduced vascularization. The minimal changes of the perilymphatic PO2recorded after the injection of Hypaque permit to conclude that this drug has no practical effect upon the oxygenation of the perilymph.

摘要:

During a 10 year period (1969–1978) 922 patients with facial fractures were hospitalized at the Department of Otolaryngology, Jönköping Central County Hospital, Sweden. Eighty percent were men. The peak incidence occurred at the age of 21–30 years. The yearly number of facial fractures was doubled between 1969 and 1974, after which no marked increase was noted. The aetiologies of the fractures were fights (28%), traffic accidents (23.5%), sport activities (17.4%). There was a comparatively low number of work related facial fractures in this study (8.1%). Front seat passengers, car drivers and cyclists represented a great portion of the traffic injury group. The number of fractures caused by traffic accidents decreased after 1974, a fact that may be due to the safety‐b

摘要:

One hundred and five patients with zygomatic fractures are presented. The main cause of the fracture was violence, followed by traffic accidents, fall and sport. In more than 25% of the cases, the fractures were accompanied by another fracture of the facial skeleton,vizmaxillary, mandibular and nasal fractures. In severe cases of traffic accidents there were associated fractures in more than half of the cases. The follow‐up study showed visible asymmetry of the face in 17 patients and sensory disturbances in 37 patients. We did not find the X‐ray subdivision by Knight&North1useful in the evaluation of the stability of the fractures. As a method of choice in cases of dislocated zygomtic fractures, we used reposition by the method of Gillies and in cases of instability this reposition was combined with internal wiring, reconstruction of the orbital floor and antral packing. An active attitude towards reconstruction of the orbital floor is recomme
