ABSTRACT Introduction Allergic rhinitis is the specific inflammation against allergen by immune defense cells on nasal mucosa, which can lead to chronic symptoms such as sneezing, itching, runny nose, and congestion. It associated with high morbidity including sinusitis, asthma, otitis media, hypertrophied inferior turbinate, polyps. Despite its complications, it remains poorly recognized tracked. Methods A cross‐sectional hospital‐based study was done, a total of 221 patients received Ear,...
Button battery ingestion and impaction in the oesophagus can result severe morbidity even fatality if not diagnosed managed urgently. Delayed or missed diagnosis due to sometimes-vague symptomatology limited investigations resource-limited settings further increases complications rate.Case 1: A 2 years old male child presented with a nine months history of recurrent respiratory tract infections responding well medical treatment. radio-opaque round foreign body (FB) was incidentally seen...
Abstract Congenital hyporhinia, also known as partial arhinia, is a very rare congenital abnormality of nasal embryogenesis with unknown etiology. It commonly associated other craniofacial anomalies which are thought to be caused by an absent or rudimentary nose. A 3‐h‐old neonate presented our facility hypoplastic pyramid, hypertelorism, microcephaly, and micrognathia, case hyporhinia the embryology literature review discussed.
A very rare skin cancer. Malignant variant of pilomatricoma. It is unique because its highly aggressive behavior. Responds poorly to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Treated with a wide surgical excision safe margins.
Background: In most Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), enrolment in community-based health insurance (CBHI) is still low. Sub-Saharan Africa rate less than 10%. There have been efforts strategies being put place many countries to overcome this problem. 1996, Tanzania introduced Community Health Fund (CHF) which was modified 2011 whereby the government came up with improved community fund (iCHF). The introduction of iCHF intended improve service delivery population where an electronic...
Key Clinical Message Button battery ingestion has been a common condition encountered by otorhinolaryngologists. Impaction in the esophagus can lead to serious and fatal complications such as tracheoesophageal fistula. Management involves multidisciplinary team varies from supportive therapy surgical intervention. Abstract Ingestion of button batteries seen with increasing frequency over past decade. In several small numbers reported cases, their impaction led severe, sometimes fatal,...
Ingestion of button batteries has been seen with increasing frequency over the past decade. Several small number reported cases, their impaction in esophagus led to serious, sometimes fatal, complications. The management these cases varied from expectant, supportive therapy early surgical intervention. We report a case battery ingestion that were diagnosed late and resulted fatal complication tracheoesophageal fistula migratory deep mucosa thorax which was managed by open surgery.

Background: Cerumen is a natural substance secreted by sebaceous and ceruminous glands in the outer third of external auditory canal (EAC). It serves preventing infections, moisturizing ear canal, acting as barrier against insects water. Impacted cerumen affects approximately 6% general population, 10% children, over 30% elderly. Symptoms impacted include tinnitus hearing loss. In it can hinder language speech development, while adults, lead to depression, embarrassment, career limitations,...
