Evolution of otosclerosis to cochlear implantation.
Abstract Introduction Otosclerosis is an osteodystrophy of the labyrinthine capsule producing conductive hearing loss. If the process invades the cochlea, a sensorineural hearing loss usually takes place. The cochlear implant is a good alternative in these patients. Objective To ascertain the behaviour of cochlear implantation (CI) in otosclerosis. Material and methods We reviewed a database of 250 patients who underwent CI, performing a retrospective study of 13 patients with clinical, audiological and/or imaging findings of bilateral otosclerosis. The 26 ears were studied as to their natural history, previous surgeries, evolution to profound hearing loss, computed tomography (CT) images, …
Effects of Omalizumab Treatment in Patients With Recalcitrant Nasal Polyposis and Mild Asthma: A Multicenter Retrospective Study
Background Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a clinical entity with specific features that impacts significantly on patient quality of life (QoL). CRSwNP is often associated with asthma and is difficult to control and manage despite pharmacological and/or surgical treatment. Omalizumab, a monoclonal anti-IgE antibody, has emerged as a putative therapeutic option. Objective To evaluate the effects of omalizumab on nasal polyp (NP) size and QoL assessed by Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) in patients with recalcitrant CRSwNP and mild asthma. Methods A multicenter retrospective analysis of patient data from the Community of Valencia (Spain) was performed. Adult patients …
[Double second branchial cleft anomaly].
Second branchial cleft anomalies are the most common of this type of neck masses. They can be classified in four types (Bailey/Proctor classification) according to their location. Type II is the most common, and related to vital neck structures such as the carotid artery and jugular vein. Cysts are the most frequent among them. Management consists of surgical excision of the cyst and tract by cervicotomy to avoid recurrence. We present an extremely rare case of a 32-year-old male who presented a sudden appearance of a right lateral neck mass that was identified by an image study as a double branchial cleft cyst. A review of simultaneous branchial cleft cyst in the literature is also made.

Evolución de la otosclerosis hacia la implantación coclear
Resumen Introduccion La otosclerosis es una osteodistrofia de la capsula laberintica que produce hipoacusia de conduccion. Si el proceso invade la coclea, aparece una hipoacusia neurosensorial, siendo el implante coclear una buena alternativa en estos pacientes. Objetivo Conocer el comportamiento de la otosclerosis en la implantacion coclear. Material y metodos Se reviso una base de datos de 250 pacientes intervenidos de implante coclear realizando un estudio retrospectivo sobre 13 pacientes con criterios clinicos, audiologicos y/o de imagen de otosclerosis bilateral. Se estudian los 26 oidos analizando la historia natural, cirugias previas, evolucion hacia hipoacusia profunda, hallazgos en…
Doble anomalía de la segunda hendidura branquial
Las anomalias de la segunda hendidura branquial son las mas comunes. Hay 4 tipos (clasificacion de Bailey/Proctor) segun su localizacion. El tipo II, que es el mas comun, esta en contacto con los grandes vasos. Su forma de presentacion es diversa, aunque la mas frecuente es la quistica. El tratamiento es quirurgico con extirpacion completa por cervicotomia para evitar recidivas. Presentamos el caso clinico extremadamente raro de un varon de 32 anos con debut brusco de tumoracion laterocervical derecha, con estudio de imagen que demuestra la presencia de doble quiste branquial. Revisamos en la literatura casos de simultaneidad de quistes branquiales.
