Fibre‐optic transillumination of the sinuses: a comparison of the value of radiography and transillumination in antral diseaseThe development of transillumination of the paranasal sinuses is reviewed. A technique of transillumination with a fibre‐optic source is described. In acute sinusitis there was a very significant correlation between radiography and transilluminome

摘要:

An approach to the causes of early childhood deafnessIn order to provide information on the etiology of early childhood deafness it is necessary to have at one's disposal a systematic methodology. In this way it is easier to ascertain the degree of certainty of the etiology of the deafness in any individual case. According to a predetermined methodology, the causes of deafness were studied in 60 pupils from an institute for the Deaf whose ages were between 10 and 15, and additionally in 33 of their deaf relatives. For this purpose there was at our disposal for each individual child an extensive history, all ascertainable medical data, and a physical and ophthalmological examination. In addition, a genealogical investigation up to the fifth generation was instituted in order to investigate consanguinity. In 22 of the 60 pupils a hereditary etiology was considered certain or probable, and in 23 of them a non hereditary etiology was accepted. In the remaining 15 the etiology was unascertainable. In 31 of the 33 deaf relatives, a hereditary etiology was considered certain or probable. In the group of hereditary etiology 25% were part of a syndrome. In approximately 15% of the 60 cases, consanguinity was detected with the help of genealogical investigation. In these cases there were also other arguments for an autosomal recessive inheritance.

摘要:

Branchiogenic carcinomaAn unusual case of upper cervical carcinoma probably of true branchial origin is presented and the literature relevant to this condition reviewed. Branchiogenic carcinoma is a rare condition and should not be diagnosed in the absence of the 4 criteria laid down by Dr Hayes Martin, viz. that the carcinoma should arise in the wall of a branchial cyst, that it should occur along a line from the tragus to the clavicle along the anterior border of sternomastoid, that the histology should be compatible with the branchial apparatus and that no other primary tumour should come to light in a 5‐year follow‐up. A fifth criterion, ie. the demonstration of premalignant changes in the epithelium of the cyst, is suggested to aid a conclusive diagno

摘要:

Involvement of the carotid artery in tumours of the head and neckCarotid artery involvement in neck tumours causes great concern to surgeons because of the unpredictable effects of carotid artery clamping or excision. Various methods of pre‐ and peroperative assessment of crossover cerebral circulation are reviewed. The management of 3 cases with extensive tumour involving the carotid artery is described. This comprises a combined operation involving a head and neck surgeon and vascular surgeon using a temporary carotid shunt followed by permanent autogenous vein graft to the internal carotid artery. It is suggested that thorough preoperative investigation combined with a more radical surgical approach can give a more satisfactory outcome in cases of head and neck tumours involving the carotid arter

摘要:

The assessment of adenoidal size by radiological meansThe purpose of this study was to evaluated the accuracy of radiology in the assessment of both adenoidal size and the size of the nasopharyngeal airway. There was a good correlation between the preoperative assessment of the size of the adenoid by radiology and the actual size of the adenoid removed at surgery. A method of estimating the size of the nasopharyngeal airway is described. There was a good inverse correlation between the size of the airway and the weight of the adenoid.

摘要:

Partial laryngectomy for recurrent cancer after irradiationAttention is drawn to the problems of surgical resection by partial laryngectomy after full therapeutic dosage of Telecobalt irradiation. Material is presented from 2 main treatment centres to indicate trends in surgical treatment and the complications experienced. End results are given which confirm a reasonable expectation of cure and functional conservation by vertical partial laryngectomy for recurrence of glottic cancer after irradiation. However, the results of treatment of recurrent supraglottic cancer by horizontal partial laryngectomy gave much cause for concern in terms of complications and survival. In conclusion an attempt is made, based on the quoted experience, to define the position of conservation surgery after full dosage irradiation of the larynx.

摘要:

Iontophoretic anaesthesia of the tympanic membraneAnaesthesia of the tympanic membrane by iontophoresis of lidocaine is a painless and safe method for myringotomy and grommet insertion. Thirty‐nine patients with serous otitis media and II patients with Ménière's disease had their tympanic membranes anaesthetized by iontophoresis of lidocaine; analgesia was perfect for all of them. In the patients with serous otitis media, the insertion of grommets was carried out easily and without pain. Major problems or complications have not been encountered during this st
