Bell palsy can be defined as an idiopathic, acute, facial nerve palsy. Although the pathogenesis of is not fully understood, inflammation seems to play important role. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (NLR) ratio was a novel potential marker determine and it routinely measured in peripheral blood. Our goal investigate relationship between by using NLR.Retrospective study.The 54 patients who were followed up for period 1 3 years, along with 45 age- sex-matched controls, included study. An automated...

Idiopathic Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) is a common otologic emergency. Recently, the cause of ISSNHL, which still unclear, has been focused on chronic inflammation. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) new and quick inflammatory marker, being measured routinely in CBC tests without any cost. We aimed to investigate relationship between ISSNHL inflammation by using NLR.Forty-seven patients diagnosed with 45 age- sex-matched healthy subjects were enrolled study. An automated...

Objectives/Hypothesis The aim of this study was to investigate the potential protective effect curcumin on paclitaxel‐induced ototoxicity in rats by means immunohistochemical and histopathological analysis distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs). Study Design Animal study. Methods Forty Sprague‐Dawley were randomized into five groups. Group 1 administered no paclitaxel during Groups 2, 3, 4 5 mg/kg paclitaxel; 200 curcumin; paclitaxel, followed a day later intraperitoneally once...

Grisel’s syndrome is a nontraumatic atlantoaxial subluxation which usually secondary of an infection or inflammation at the head and neck region. It can be observed after surgery Etiopathogenesis has not been clearly described yet, but increased looseness paraspinal ligament thought to responsible. Patients typically present with painful torticollis. Diagnosis largely based on suspicion patient who recently underwent history in Physical examination imaging techniques assist diagnosis....

Nasal airway obstruction is a common cause of upper obstruction. It associated strongly with obstructive and hypoxic manifestations. Mean platelet volume (MPV) levels increase in conditions. MPV one the activation indices which re!ects production rate. We aimed to evaluate relationship between nasal septal deviation (NSD) by using acoustics rhinometry patients septum deviation.We performed retrospective study 51 NSD 58 healthy age matched subjects as control group. The diagnosis was based on...

Cervical necrotizing fasciitis (CNF) is a rare, rapidly advancing infection that involves the skin, subcutaneous fibrofatty tissue, as well superficial and deep fascia can cause life-threatening complications. The most frequent initiating factors in head neck region are primary odontogenic infection, peritonsillar posttraumatic or iatrogenic skin mucosal injuries. Necrotizing (NF) expand within hours, reported mortality rate up to 75% with delay interference. If patients have any risk...

Rhinoliths are petrified masses formed by accumulation of endogenous or exogenous salts around a nidus. Although rarely the body, most common cause is foreign bodies forgotten in nose at childhood. rare and have been reported as single case report literature. In this study, 24 different cases will be analyzed. Twenty-four interesting patients who were operated for rhinolith otorhinolaryngology clinic between 2014 2019 not seen literature before analyzed retrospectively. The characteristics...

Objectives: The authors presented a rare case of temporomandibular joint hernation into the external auditory canal. discuss 1 cause otalgia. Case Report: A 52 year old male patient complained about his left ear otalgia for 3 months. Patient said that it had occurred after painful mastication. On physical examination he rounded expanded mass in canal is located at anterior-inferior wall EAC When open mouth turn back to original position and was disappeared. Magnetic resonance imaging...

The study aimed to evaluate the effects and relationships between mast cells in matrix, cell enzymes tryptase chymase, epithelial proliferation, microvascular density, bone destruction cholesteatoma. Thirty-five biopsies diagnosed with cholesteatoma seven healthy skin tissues taken from retro-auricular region for control were evaluated. Immunohistochemical studies performed CD117, CD34, Ki-67, antibodies, a single session all cases group. relationship erosion size antibody load was...

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate diagnostic confidence level preoperative 160-slice computed tomography (CT) findings compared with that perioperative about anatomic variations in structure facial canal, lateral semicircular and dural plate.Materials Methods: Fifty-five patients who presented middle ear pathology Department Otolaryngology, Afyon Kocatepe University Faculty Medicine were included study, mean age 42 (±15.55)years.Preoperative CT images temporal bone...

We aimed to examine the prevalence of cerebellar tonsil ectopia and Chiari 1 malformation in sensorineural hearing loss (SHL) that has, best our knowledge, not been studied previously. Magnetic resonance imaging records 166 subjects with SHL 50 controls without known otologic disturbances were included study. A tonsils descent more than 2 mm was assumed as ectopia, a equal or 5 malformation. group also formed by summation both groups. Transverse diameters bilateral intracranial vertebral...

The hypoglossal nerve appears typically between the internal carotid artery and jugular vein down in lateral groove these 2 anatomical structures on to right common bifurcation. In this case report, we presented a patient that was operated for laryngeal carcinoma, abnormal navigation of observed during neck dissection.

Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disease that characterized by T-cell-mediated hyperproliferation of the keratinocytes. It develops through immune-mediated mechanisms and defined as disease. The inner ear susceptible to attacks, vertigo dizziness can occur a complication. There little information about psoriasis vestibular system.This study aimed investigate cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) results patients effect on system.Randomly selected included in were who had...

OBJECTIVE: In this study, it was aimed to present the patients who underwent open laryngectomy in a tertiary otolaryngology clinic with current literature information terms of age, gender, first symptom and duration, histopathological diagnosis, localization primary disease, neck condition, our surgical treatment approach results. MATERIAL AND METHODS: retrospective analysis files 70 for laryngeal cancer between 2011 2021 otorhinolaryngology is discussed. RESULTS: Of cases, 68 (97.1%) were...

Background The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect thymoquinone, an antioxidant, on hearing loss induced by acoustic trauma in rats. Material and methods This included 32 Wistar Albino rats divided into four groups: control, trauma, thymoquinone + only, with eight per group. control group received 0.5 mL corn oil intraperitoneally for 10 days. exposed 100 dB white noise at 4 kHz 16 hours.
