Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare disease involving cartilaginous structures, predominantly the ears, nose and laryngotracheobronchial tree. The eyes, cardiovascular system, peripheral joints, skin, central nervous system may also be affected. Involvement of all ocular structures has been described. Non-granulomatous uveitis common feature; however hypopyon uncommon. We herein present case 42-year-old man who had diagnosed with bronchial asthma for long period; presented recurrent as...
Abstract Objective We aim to describe the clinical features and therapeutic management of necrotizing otitis externa (NOE) with negative culture. Patients methods included all patients NOE, who were treated in period between 2008 2020 our department. Results A total 25 cases NOE included. The result culture was 13 (52%). All received a local treatment prior hospitalization, eight (61.5%) oral antibiotic. sampling otorrhea done for patients. Fungal serology performed six patients; it positive...
The fine-needle cytology is being used as a first line of investigation in the diagnosis head and neck swellings, it simple, cost effective less invasive compared to biopsy.The aims this study were evaluate results non-aspiration cervical lymphadenopathy factors influencing rate non-diagnosis results.This retrospective was conducted on selected patients with that had undergone followed by histological biopsy. sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value negative for diagnosing...
Journal of Neonatal Surgery is a peer-reviewed and open-access electronic journal. Only few journals are being published on especially from developing country, which justifies the need new journal this subject.
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is associated with cardiovascular diseases. Mean platelet volume has emerged as a marker of prothrombotic conditions and risk. The aim this study was to investigate the association between mean diseases in patients obstructive syndrome.The medical records 207 were analyzed. diagnosed by polygraphy, classified according apnea-hypopnea index: control group: individuals simple snoring (apnea-hypopnea index < 5), mild group (5 ⩽ 15), moderate (15 30), severe ⩾...
Burkitt Lymphoma (BL) is a highly aggressive B-type non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It rarely develops at the level of sinonasal cavities, especially in young children. We present case 2-year-old boy who presented with 2-month history nasal obstruction, snoring, and epistaxis followed by recent dyspnea. Examination revealed protruding tissue mass left cavity. Computed tomography scan showed homogenous soft-tissue cavity extending toward ipsilateral orbit, infratemporal fossa, nasopharynx, as well...
The preoperative diagnosis of a paranasal epidermoid cysts (EC) is challenging and frequently mistaken. We present the case patient who developed swelling on left side face. clinical examination showed fixed poorly defined in maxillary region, with slightly painful bulge upper vestibular peri-gingival area. A computed tomography (CT) scan well-encapsulated expansive hypodensity that filled sinus. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed mass hypo-intense T1-weighted images, high intense...
Organized hematoma of the maxillary sinus (OHMS) is a rare benign disease that can be locally aggressive. The diagnosis this condition challenging. We report two cases OHMS presented with recurrent nasal bleeding, obstruction and anosmia. Radiological findings were suggestive vascularised lesion in first case malignant tumor second case. Both patients underwent an endonasal endoscopic surgery, There was no recurrence at 19 months' six follow-up respectively. should included differential if...
Tracheocele or tracheal diverticulum is an uncommon benign entity that can be congenital acquired. It usually diagnosed incidentally on cervicothoracic imaging. Our aim to describe the etiopathogenic, clinical and paraclinical features of tracheocele as well its therapeutic modalities.We report 2 cases asymptomatic occurred in a boy woman, found cervical CT scan done for accidental ingestion chicken bone infected thyroid hematocele respectively. The tracheocele, our cases, was probably...
Primary lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the salivary glands is an exceptional oncological condition that predominantly emerges within parotid gland. A significant prevalence has been reported in Inuit population, along with associated positive serology for Epstein-Barr virus these endemic regions. In this paper, we present a case primary gland 68-year-old female patient history diabetes and hypertension residing non-endemic area. Histology plays critical role definitive diagnosis, confirming...
Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) is a rare endocrine malignancy. We report 6 cases of PCs operated on in our department, during period 12 years (2010-2021). All patients presented severe hyperparathyroidism, high calcium levels, and very elevated parathormone (PTH) rates. Five were between the fifth sixth decades life 1 patient was 37 old. The parathyroid gland only palpable case. underwent cervical ultrasound 5 them 99m Tc-MIBI scintigraphy. One bilateral masses. treated surgically:...
The relationship between the severity of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and both snoring intensity rate measured objectively has not been sufficiently investigated. aim this study was to evaluate OSAS parameters including rate.A total 150 records individuals who complained were analyzed. Patients classified into four groups according apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). Polygraphy recordings (defined as percentage time during time) clinical data compared analyzed.AHI significantly...
Airway management in neonates is difficult because of the risk rapid hypoxia. It presents a challenge even for an experienced anesthesiologist. Oral tumors can obstruct airway or feeding problems newborn. Surgical excision treatment choice but these seriously worsen conditions intubation. To surmount difficulties, particular multidisciplinary approach and special precautions are needed. We describe taken anesthesia surgical removal case large congenital palate teratoma associated with wide...
Parathyroid cysts are an uncommon entity. They classified as functioning and nonfunctioning cysts. Cyst aspiration with detection of parathyroid hormone is a useful tool to confirm the diagnosis. Here, we report four cases One patient had cyst. Ultrasonography neck revealed cystic lesion behind left lobe thyroid gland in two right nodule cases. The exerted mass effect on adjacent structures without clinical compressive symptoms. Fine-needle cyst fluid was performed one case (nonfunctioning...
