摘要:

A prospectively recorded 5-year series of 254 patients receiving elective neck irradiation is evaluated. All had clinically negative necks and initial control at the primary site. Forty-seven percent of the patients had T3–4 tumours. Radiotherapy was delivered from a megavolt source at 2 Gy/day 5 days a week to a total dose of 46–50 Gy. All but 3 patients completed the treatment as planned. Neither tumour stage nor site of the primary tumour was related to the incidence of regional recurrences. Of 30 patients receiving 46–49 Gy, 5 died from neck node recurrences. Of 221 patients treated to 50 Gy or more, 16 (7.2 %) developed regional recurrences. Two of these recurrences were avoided, giving a regional failure rate of 6.3 %. As a whole, 7.8 % died from regional, 11.4 % from local, and 3.1 % from distant recurr

摘要:

Keloid formation is a rare complication of normal scar tissue development, also to the surgeon who performs surgery on the external ear. We are presenting 4 cases of keloid formation which occurred after ear piercing in 2 cases and after otoplasty in another 2 cases. The treatment of keloid formation caused difficulties and is not unequivocal. Therefore we wish to present our experiences as we have seen no cases of keloid formation after otoplasty described in the literature.

摘要:

Two cases of vestibular disturbance caused by residual oily contrast medium in the internal auditory canals after myelography are reported. Nystagmus towards the affected side and normal caloric responses were observed; therefore, contrast media are considered to act as irritants to the vestibular nerve.
