BACKGROUNDChronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM) is a chronic inflammatory process of mucoperiosteal lining of middle ear cleft effect of simple mastoidectomy on patients without evidence of active disease remains highly debated and unproven.
Macroglossia is a disorder in which the Tongue is larger than normal, is usually caused by an increase in the amount of tissue on the Tongue. This condition can be seen in certain inherited or congenital disorders, we are here presenting a case of Macroglossia, which were demanded for an Elective Tracheostomy in a child of 03 years. The patient was referred from Nizams Institute of Medical Sciences for securing airway by Tracheostomy since patient was in stridor, before starting the sclerotherapy. It is an emergency condition when patient presents with stridor Tracheostomy indicated, no treatment required for mild cases or cases with minimal symptoms. Speech Therapy may be beneficial, surgery to reduce the size of the Tongue (Reduction Glossectomy) is useful and recommended in severe cases. Recently the cobulator is used for reduction glossectomy.
ABSTRACT:Getting an object impact in the ear canal is a relatively common problem in children, the majority of items are lodged in the external auditory canal which is the small channel that ends at the ear drum. The children often place these items in their ears out of curiosity. Common objects found in ear include beads, toys, food material, insects and seeds etc. usually foreign body ear are removed by syringing or with Hartmann's forceps, we are here presenting a case of foreign body in the middle ear removed by canaloplasty through post-aural approach.
Nasal gliomas are rare congenital mild-line tumors often misdiagnosed as encephalocele, midline dermoid. Nasal gliomas constitute about 5% of congenital midline swellings. Imaging preferably by MRI is mandated to study the extent and to rule out intracranial extension. The gold standard treatment is surgical excision and histo-pathological confirmation. We present a case of recurrent intranasal glioma without any intracranial extension presented as swelling in the nose, excised by lateral rhinotomy approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
