Introduction: Otorhinolaryngological injuries in head injury are something which are very common but yet are overlooked, missed and at times forgotten. In this study, we tried to see the epidemiological characteristics, clinical presentations and management of these associated injuries in cases of head injuries in a tertiary care center in western Nepal. Methods: An analytical study was done in all cases of head injury admitted to neurosurgical ward and ICU in between January 2019 to December 2019. Various clinical and epidemiological details were collected from the patient’s records obtained from Medical Records Department and charted in a preformed performa. All the continuous data were presented in terms of mean and standard deviation and categorical data in terms of percentage. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 22.0 software. Results: Soft Tissue lacerations were the commonest findings in all head injuries; nose and face lacerations (29.5%), ear lacerations (23.5%) followed by facial bone fractures (19.2%). There were 41(52.6%) cases with mild head injury, 23 (29.5%) cases with moderate head Injury and 17 (17.9%) cases with severe head injury in patients those had associated ENT findings. There was no any statistically significant difference in outcome or hospital stay in between the head injuries with and without ENT manifestations (p=0.187) and (p=0.219) respectively. Conclusion: Skull base tumors are treated based on findings of diagnostic nasal endoscopy and imaging results. CT scans and MRIs are becoming more significant in the diagnosis of diseases. Endoscopic techniques to the skull base were beneficial in treating the malignancy. Chemotherapy can be used as a gold standard first-line treatment with radiation and surgery for significant types of head and neck tumors. immunotherapy-like checkpoint inhibitors targeting PD1 are the second-line treatments of advanced HNSCC. Prospective research and trials will be required in the future.

“…Hearing loss were evaluated in ENT OPD with PTA and almost all of them had conductive hearing loss which had spontaneous resolution. Facial Palsy was reported in 6.6% -10% by other investigators [16][17]. While one patient in the series ofJarandikar AA et al required facial nerve decompression while Patil S et al reported spontaneous resolution.…”

“…Brain damage may or may not be a part of this. With the increasing urbanization and industrialization in the developing countries and lack of safety precautions and traffic rules adherence the frequency of head injuries has also increased [1][2] . The varying degrees of physical and functional damage are associated with the ENT manifestation.…”

Background: Even though otorhinolaryngological injuries are relatively common, they are occasionally neglected, missed, and overlooked. Objective: The study aimed to analyze the Otorhinolaryngological manifestations in patients suffering from brain injury admitted in tertiary care unit. Study design: This analytical study was conducted at the Neurosurgery Department of Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar and Neurosurgery Department of Prime Teaching Hospital Peshawar for the duration of the six months from August 2021 to January 2022. Material and Methods: There were 448 patients that were admitted in the tertiary care unit with complaint of head injury. Only 365 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The ethical and review board committee of our hospital approved the study. The written consent was taken from the patients. Results: There were 75 (25%) patients who were linked with ENT manifestation. The patients having ENT manifestations included more male than female. The average age of the patients was 37.3 ± 15.3 years. The 52% came with minor injury in the head. It was seen that recovery rate was quite good in case of patients having ENT manifestations. Conclusion: In case of head injuries ENT injuries are seen commonly. Injuries in the soft tissues of nose, ear and face are some of the commonly observed findings some other findings like CSF rhinorrheas was also observed. There was no prominent link of ENT injury with the overall impact of hospital stay of the patients and the head injury. Keywords: CSF rhinorrheas and Otorhinolaryngological manifestations.
