To study the clinical presentation, intraoperative findings and surgical management in meningo-encephalic-herniation (MEH) based on etiology.A retrospective is a follow-up previously published report 2009.A quaternary referral otology skull base center PATIENTS AND METHODS:: The inclusion criteria were intraoperatively verified MEH patients with minimum of 12 months, which yielded 262 operated ears. data extracted regarding demographics, laterality, past surgeries, contralateral-ear...
Introduction . Medical treatment in chronic constipation is not always successful. Surgery indicated unresponsive selected severe cases. This study presents the distal venous colic ligation rat as a novel surgical approach. Materials and Methods 16 rats (study group) were evaluated 3 phases of 6 days each: A (normal conditions), B (loperamide-induced constipation), C (colic vein legation) compared with treated phase PEG 4,000 (control group). Blood biochemical physiological parameters, daily...
Objective: To assess all different patterns of associated abnormalities on audiometry, bithermal caloric test (BCT) and cervical/ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) to air/bone-conduction in patients with selective posterior semicircular canal (PSC) hypofunction correlate them underlying disorders. Study Design: Retrospective review. Setting: Tertiary referral center. Patients: 51 (23 men, 28 women, mean age 57.5 yr) isolated PSC deficit (one bilateral). Interventions:...
This study aimed to investigate the outcomes of pediatric patients with acute mastoiditis while examining role intravenous steroid therapy, patient demographics, and serum inflammatory values as prognostic factors.This is a single-center retrospective observational including 73 consecutive treated for in course 10-year period (January 2010 December 2019).Data analysis showed that requiring surgical treatment (14%) had 3-fold higher C-reactive protein value at admission compared those...
Head and neck paragangliomas (HNPGLs), rare chemoresistant tumors curable only with surgery, are strongly influenced by genetic predisposition, hence patients relatives require lifetime follow-up MRI and/or PET-CT because of de novo disease risk. This entails exposure to electromagnetic/ionizing radiation, costs, organizational challenges, scattered far from reference centers. Simplified first-line screening strategies needed. We employed flow injection analysis tandem mass spectrometry, as...
Surgical plugging of the superior semicircular canal (SSC) represents an effective procedure to treat disabling symptoms in dehiscence (SCD), despite resulting impaired vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gain for SSC. On other hand, SSC hypofunction on video head impulse test (vHIT) a common finding patients with SCD exhibiting sound/pressure-induced vertigo, low-frequency air-bone gap (ABG), and enhanced vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs). "Spontaneous plugging" has been assumed as...
Objective To describe the clinical-instrumental findings in case of concurrent superior canal dehiscence (SCD) and ipsilateral vestibular schwannoma (VS), aiming to highlight importance an extensive instrumental assessment achieve a correct diagnosis. Study Design Retrospective review. Setting Tertiary referral center. Patients Five patients with SCD VS. Intervention Clinical-instrumental imaging. Main Outcome Measure Clinical presentation, audiovestibular findings, Results The chief...
