Abstract Background and Aim: Heterotopic gastric mucosal patch, which has a 0.1–10% frequency, is encountered when the cervical esophagus examined carefully during endoscopy. In this study, we aimed to determine prevalence of patch in esophagus, identify its macroscopic histological characteristics evaluate demographic clinical features. Methods: Six hundred sixty patients (317 male, 343 female; mean age 50.28 years, range 14–90) with upper gastrointestinal symptoms had elective...

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of early oral feeding by comparing it with through primary tracheoesophageal puncture after total laryngectomy pharyngeal closure.A prospective, randomized, controlled study.Patients who underwent closure were candidates for voice restoration (an in whose cases [TEP] was created) included. After laryngectomy, patients randomly assigned to either group (study group) or TEP (control group). Patients fed orally a clear liquid diet on first postoperative day,...

Tapia's syndrome is due to extracranial involvement of the hypoglossal nerve and recurrent laryngeal branch vagal nerve. The injury these nerves a rare complication anesthetic airway management. We present patient with postoperative bilateral palsy after uncomplicated orotracheal intubation. Corticosteroid therapy was started diagnosis. Forty‐eight hours later, movements vocal cords recover full recovery achieved by fourth day. Within 3 days, tongue mobility gradually improved patient's...

The relationship between temporal bone pneumatization and the location of lateral sinus length mastoid process was investigated in 60 fresh frozen adult bones, by plain X-rays, computed tomography surgical dissection including otomicroscopic findings. Temporal classified as small, moderate large. After drilling, shortest distances middle fossa dura tip representing sigmoid posterior border external auditory canal were measured compared to degree pneumatization. specimens with pathological...

The aim of this study was to reveal clinical features benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) through comparing idiopathic BPPV and secondary vestibular neuritis (VN). data the 189 patients admitted our tertiary care hospital including otolaryngological, audiological, vestibular, neurological, radiological evaluations were reviewed. Patients diagnosed with (n = 145) VN 44) grouped as I II, respectively. 2 groups compared. findings showed that due are much younger, have symptoms only...

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of postural restriction after canalith repositioning in treating benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).Design: Prospective trial patients with vs those without treatment.Patients: Patients classic BPPV and nystagmus were treated using modified Epley procedure.Patients randomly separated into 2 groups.The first group was instructed to wear a cervical collar maintain an upright head position for days.The second had no motion restriction.After 5...

To obtain reliable landmarks for identification of the recurrent laryngeal nerve in human larynges.This is a prospective study, analyzing anatomic features. Structures easily palpable on thyroid and cricoid cartilage (ie, most prominent portion inferior cornu [IC], tubercle [ITT] anterior arch [AC]) were accepted as distances these structures to entrance point RLN medial aspect pharyngeal constrictor muscle (cross [CP]) measured 65 adult autopsies.When straight line drawn 11 12 millimeters...
