The aim of the study was to describe pathology in patients with unilateral sinonasal symptoms and identify variables that may predict neoplastic pathology.Retrospective chart review.A retrospective analysis completed on 207 consecutive symptoms, most whom underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery from 2005 2008. Of charts reviewed, 63 had opacification paranasal computed tomography scans. Presenting radiographic, surgical, pathologic findings were analyzed.All surgical management for...

Our objective was to determine the co-occurrence of sinonasal anomalies and primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction.A total 41 patients were enrolled in study, which had unilateral (NLD) obstruction. All included study evaluated by anterior rhinoscopy, endoscopic nasal examination, paranasal sinus computed tomography (CT) order reveal significant pathology.A increase noted rate concha bullosa, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, osteomeatal complex disease, maxillary sinusitis favor group...

Conclusion: We could not find any significant difference in the results for graft success rate and functional hearing between myringoplasty tympano-mastoidectomy groups. So mastoidectomy may be necessary successful tympanic membrane reconstruction improvement. Objective: To investigate effect of aerating on surgical myringoplasty. Methods: This was a retrospective study. Data were analyzed from 92 patients who underwent repair perforations due to chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM)...

Conclusion: The presence of pepsinogen in middle ear effusion (MEE) supports the relationship between gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and otitis media with (OME). Measurement pepsin/pepsinogen can be considered as a simple reliable method for assesment children. However, further research is needed to establish definite association GER OME before beginning antireflux treatment management MEE. Objective: aim this study was investigate chronic OME, confirm gastric enzyme MEE children OME....

It is known that cigarette smoking causes squamous metaplasia in upper and lower airways. We hypothesized patients with nasal polyposis, polyps of smokers might reveal some histopathological changes there be an increased neoplasia risk. Therefore, this study, we aimed to explore the effects on polyp histopathology clinical measures.Retrospective chart review.Fatih Sultan Mehmet Education Research Hospital.Thirty smoker 47 non-smoker polyposis who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery between...

Our objective was to determine the efficacy of fibrin glue prevent complications and nasal mucociliary clearance (MCC) after septoplasty compared with a nonabsorbable packing requiring removal (polyvinyl alcohol [PVA] sponge).Prospective clinical trial planned data collection.The study conducted at Haydarpasa Numune Education Research Hospital.A total 44 patients, who had operations, were included in study. We evaluated postoperative pain, sleep disturbance on night surgery, bleeding, septal...

Inflammatory changes in the middle ear mucosa since childhood may affect mastoid pneumatization without a change position of sigmoid sinus. Also, despite fact that recurrences inflammatory disease lead to bone destruction, we did not see any relationship between otitis media and destruction.To assess radiological findings temporal both healthy ears diseased patients with unilateral chronic their childhood.Twenty-five who had otological symptoms, such as recurrent otalgia, purulent otorrhea...

Quality-of-life issues related to chronic otitis media (COM) include physical symptoms, emotional hearing loss, speech social and parents' symptoms. In this study we evaluated the effects of tympanoplasty on quality life pediatric patients.In a questionnaire-based outcome study, reviewed 56 78 patients with COM who were treated type I at our institution between December 2008 February 2010. All asked fill out COM-5 questionnaire their parents, before operation 6 months after operation....

To investigate the histopathologic changes in intact laryngeal epithelium and mucosa exposed to endogenous gastric acid pepsin an experimental model of reflux.Randomized trial.The study was conducted at animal care facility Haydarpasa Numune Education Research Hospital.Eighteen healthy 200- 220-g, 20-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats were used. The animals divided into three groups according exposure time (1-, 4-, 12-week exposures), four examined as controls who underwent sham operation. An...

We conducted a prospective study to investigate the possibility of Helicobacter pylori colonization on tonsillar and adenoid tissues. Our group was made up 84 consecutively presenting children aged 4 12 years who had undergone adenotonsillectomy or adenoidectomy with without ventilation tube insertion. The excised specimens were analyzed by rapid urease testing histopathologic examination detect H pylori. Histologic sections subjected hematoxylin eosin staining Giemsa as performed in routine...

Histopathological changes in nasal mucosa, trachea, and pulmonary system with exposure to chronic thinner inhalation have been studied the literature. However, possible larynx which is a part of upper airway tract, not yet. The aim this study determine histopathological rat mucosa inhalation.Randomized trial. was conducted at animal care facility Haydarpasa Numune Education Research Hospital.Fifty-one Sprague-Dawley rats were used throughout experiment. Four groups inhaled glass cage for 2,...

Abstract Background: Most patients with nasolacrimal duct obstruction have dry, crusty nasal mucosa. Mucociliary clearance is modulated by the amount and biochemical composition of mucus. Nasolacrimal disturbs drainage tears into cavity. Objective: We examined effect on mucociliary transport mucosa, comparing saccharine test results for epiphora versus healthy volunteers. Study design: Prospective, randomised, clinical trial. Methods: Eight bilateral 10 unilateral were included in study...
