RARO CASO DI IPERPLASIA ANGIOLINFOIDE CON EOSINOFILIA DELLA REGIONE MASTOIDEA

2011

L’iperplasia angiolinfoide con eosinofilia (ALHE) è una rara malattia benigna ad eziologia poco chiara, anche se la malattia viene considerata dalla maggior parte degli autori un processo reattivo o di natura vascolare amartomatosa. Colpisce con leggera prevalenza il sesso femminile tra la III e la V decade ed è caratterizzata da lesioni papulose e nodulari con sede elettiva al capo, al collo e al condotto uditivo esterno, senza linfadenopatia e con lieve eosinofilia periferica. Dal punto di vista istologico è presente una proliferazione vascolare dermica e/o ipodermica accompagnata da un infiltrato in gran parte costituito da linfociti, istiociti ed eosinofili. Gli autori descrivono un cas…

Diagnosis and follow-up of complex congenital malformations/mental retardation (MRA/MR)

2013

Complex congenital malformations, associated in 30% of cases with mental retardation, recognize different etiologies: environmental causes, mendelian disease, chromosomal abnormalities, imprinted anomalies. Frequently complex congenital disorders are rare diseases. Rare diseases are infrequent pathological conditions (prevalence in the general population of less than 1/2.000 live births1), and often poorly understood. Because of their rarity these morbid conditions often either go undiagnosed or are diagnosed late with a negative impact for both the affected person and the family. The birth prevalence is high (2-4% of all births). The diagnosis is essential to program complex and integrated…

Tinnitus e Sordità

2010

OBIETTIVI Con il termine di "Acufene" o "Tinnitus" definiamo la percezione di un rumore in assenza di qualunque sorgente sonora esterna al nostro organismo. La presenza di acufeni aumenta progressivamente con l'età (12% dopo i 60 anni), e questo, secondo gli Autori, non è tanto correlato con la senescenza quanto con la concomitante sordità, la cui prevalenza aumenta con l'età. L'obiettivo di questo studio è quello di mettere in evidenza la correlazione fra il tipo di sordità e il tipo di acufene. MATERIALI Lo studio è stato condotto dalla Sezione di Audiologia del Dipartimento di Bio‐technologie dell'Università di Palermo su 197 soggetti affetti da acufene e sordità. I pazienti sono stati s…

Audiologic profile of OSAS and simple snoring patients: the effect of chronic nocturnal intermittent hypoxia on auditory function

2016

The objective of this work was to study the effect of nocturnal intermittent hypoxia on auditory function of simple snoring patients and subjects affected by OSAS; we compared the audiologic profile with the severity of OSAS to detect early signs of cochlear damage. One hundred-sixty patients underwent overnight polysomnography, micro-otoscopy, multi-frequency audiometry, acufenometry, TEOAE recording and d-ROMs test. All subjects were divided in four groups, based on presence/absence of AHI (simple snoring without OSAS, mild OSAS, moderate OSAS, severe OSAS). Sixty (37.5 %) patients were not affected by OSAS, 58 (36.25 %) presented a mild OSAS, 18 (11.25 %) a moderate OSAS and 24 (15 %) a …

Investigation of Tinnitus Patients in Italy: Clinical and Audiological Characteristics

2010

Objective. 312 tinnitus sufferers were studied in order to analyze: the clinical characteristics of tinnitus; the presence of tinnitus-age correlation and tinnitus-hearing loss correlation; the impact of tinnitus on subjects' life and where possible the etiological/predisposing factors of tinnitus.Results. There is a slight predominance of males. The highest percentage of tinnitus results in the decades 61–70. Of the tinnitus sufferers, 197 (63.14%) have a hearing deficit (light hearing loss in 37.18% of cases). The hearing impairment results of sensorineural type in 74.62% and limited to the high frequencies in 58.50%. The tinnitus is referred as unilateral in 59.93%, a pure tone in 66.99%…

Tinnitus e ipertensione neurogena da conflitto neurovascolare: descrizione di un caso

2008

The term neurovascular conflict (NVC) has been introduced to describe the anatomic situation where a nerve makes contact with a blood vessel, artery or vein, at the exit zone from the brain’s trunk. The NVC between the VIII nerve and a blood vessel is clinically associated with tinnitus, vertigo (disabling positional vertigo, DPV), and unilateral sensorineural hearing loss. The blood vessels which most frequently make contact with the VIII nerve are the anterior-inferior cerebellar artery, then the posterior-inferior cerebellar artery and the basilar artery. The authors present an unusual case in which both vertebral arteries (one of which crosses the midline) create a NVC with left acousti…

Naso e dintorni

2009

Il termine di rinosinusite individua uno stato di flogosi della mucosa del naso e dei seni paranasali. Questa terminologia nasce dalla considerazione che la mucosa nasale e sinusale sono un’unica entità anatomo-funzionale, e supera così i vecchi concetti di “rinite” e “sinusite”. La rinosinusite è una patologia che colpisce un numero elevato di persone, sia adulti che bambini e ha mostrato un incremento d’incidenza progressivo negli ultimi anni parallelamente alla diffusione dell’allergopatia. Attualmente viene stimata una prevalenza di malattia del 14% circa nella popolazione generale. Di fatto il disturbo rinosinusale rappresenta uno dei principali motivi di consultazione del Medico di Me…

Surgical Management of Retraction Pockets: Does Mastoidectomy have a Role?

2021

Abstract Introduction Retraction pocket is a condition in which the eardrum lies deeper within the middle ear. Its management has no consensus in literature. Objective To assess the role of mastoidectomy in the management of retraction pockets added to a tympanoplasty. Methods Prospective study of patients with retraction pocket and referred to surgery. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups: one managed with tympanoplasty and mastoidectomy and the other group with tympanoplasty only. The minimum follow-up considered was 12 months. The outcomes were: integrity of eardrum, recurrence, and hearing status. Results This study included 43 patients. In 24 cases retraction occurred in t…
