Objectives: To analyze the data of patients with otorhinolaryngological foreign bodies and to evaluate the management and outcomes of foreign bodies to prevent complications. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted over 8 years at Aseer Central Hospital to examine all admitted cases with foreign bodies in the ear, nose, throat, esophagus and bronchus during the period from January 2011 to January 2019. Patient demographic data, type of foreign body, and most common site were analyzed. Results: A total of 184 patients were admitted, including 72)39.1%(males and 112)60.9%(females. The age range was from one year old to 70 years old; the mean±standard deviation of age was 10.6±12.55 years. Foreign bodies were most commonly located Original Article in the esophagus)n=97, 52.7%(, followed by the bronchus)n=55, 29.9%(. A statistically significant difference was found, with a p-value of 0.00001. The most common site in children was the bronchus)n=39, 21%(; the most common site in adults was the esophagus)n=18, 72%(. Conclusion: Otorhinolaryngological foreign bodies are found most frequently in preschool-aged children. The most common site in children was the bronchus, and the most common site in adults was the esophagus. Prevention measures are essential to reduce the risk of ingestion and admission, which can be challenging.

Background: Tinnitus is a common auditory complaint among individuals characterized by ringing, buzzing, hissing, chirping, whistling, or other sounds in the ear. Following a low-fat/low-cholesterol diet can help reduce the blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, which aids improvement in tinnitus symptoms. High cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the bloodstream play a significant role in the development of tinnitus, hearing loss, and vertigo. Aim: This paper aims to test the association between hyperlipidemia and tinnitus among outpatients in King Khalid University (KKU) ENT clinic. Patients and Methods: A retrospective review of the medical records of patients who attended the ENT clinic at KKU was performed. An otological examination including pure tone audiometry, personal habits, and lipid profile was conducted. Patients were contacted by phone if there were any missing data. Results: The study included 300 patients who were treated in the outpatient clinic during the study period. About 80% of the patients were of age >45 years and 60.3% were males. Half of the cases (150 cases) had tinnitus and 13% had hyperlipidemia. Patients with high lipid profile recorded doubled risk for tinnitus (P < 0.05). Other risk factors found to be significantly associated with tinnitus include vertigo, young age, and wearing an earpiece. Conclusions: In conclusion, there was a significant association between hyperlipidemia and the incidence of tinnitus even after adjusting for all other risk factors. More large-scale researches are needed to assess in detail the association between different lipid components such as low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, and tinnitus epidemiology.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyse the data of patients underwent adenoidectomy in Otorhinolaryngological practice, and determine the incidence of adenoid regrowth after adenoidectomy evaluate complications of surgery& challenging in management of these complications. Setting: Tertiary referral centre. Methods: Retrospective study over 5 years of all adenoidectomy cases at Aseer central hospital during the period from January 2013 to January 2017. Patient’s demographic data, recurrent cases and post op complications were analysed. Results: A total 201 cases underwent adenoidectomy 117 (58.2%) Male and 84(41.8%) were female. The age range was from1 year to 9year; . shows that 98.0% of the sample have (No Recurrence), 2.0% ( 4 cases ) have (Recurrence Underwent 2ND Adenoidctomy.95.5% of the sample don’t have complications, 4.5% ( 9 cases ) have (complications)which is bleeding per mouth , 7 cases managed surgically and 2 cases managed conservative. Conclusion: Adenoid regrowth after adenoidectomy is rare about 2% & most common complications noticed is bleeding per mouth.
