Sinonasal respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma: A report on three cases
2018
Respiratory Epithelial Adenomatoid Hamartoma (REAH) is a rare benign lesion that may occur in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Histology is essential for the differential diagnosis with other lesions that could affect the sinonasal region. Our report focuses on three cases of male patients that were 46, 66 and 73 years old, diagnosed with REAH of the sinonasal region. All cases presented a nasal obstruction and hyposmia, and in one case cephalalgia. The definitive diagnosis of REAH was supported by the endoscopic, radiological and histological examinations. The patients underwent surgical excision with an endoscopic approach and did not experience a local recurrence at the time of wr…
Ear, nose and throat (ENT) involvement in zoonotic diseases: a systematic review.
2013
Introducción: Las zoonosis son infecciones de transmisión del animal al hombre, ya sea directamente (a través del contacto directo o contacto con productos de origen animal) o indirectamente (a través de un vector intermedio, tal como un artrópodo). Los agentes causales incluyen bacterias, parásitos, virus y hongos. El propósito de esta revisión es hacer un examen preciso de todas las enfermedades zoonóticas que pueden ser responsables de oído, nariz y garganta (ENT) participación. Metodología: Se realizó una búsqueda en PubMed combinando los términos (otorrinolaringología o Rinología o laringología o otología or mastoiditis u otitis o sinusitis o laringitis o rinitis o faringitis o de la e…
The new agreement of the international RIGA consensus conference on nasal airway function tests.
2018
The report reflects an agreement based on the consensus conference of the International Standardization Committee on the Objective Assessment of the Nasal Airway in Riga, 2nd Nov. 2016. The aim of the conference was to address the existing nasal airway function tests and to take into account physical, mathematical and technical correctness as a base of international standardization as well as the requirements of the Council Directive 93/42/EEC of 14 June 1993 concerning medical devices. Rhinomanometry, acoustic rhinometry, peak nasal inspiratory flow, Odiosoft-Rhino, optical rhinometry, 24-h measurements, computational fluid dynamics, nasometry and the mirrow test were evaluated for importa…
Endoscopic surgery of the rhinobasis with a computer-assisted localizer
1996
The endoscope is useful for the diagnosis and surgical therapy of diseases of the nose, the paranasal sinuses and its neighboring regions, and allows for microinvasive, functional approaches. The reduced invasiveness of therapeutic procedures is sometimes accompanied by insufficient clearness of the surgical field, however. This significant problem is solved by the computer-assisted-surgery (CAS) system, an intraoperative localizer. It allows continuous orientation based on three-dimensional reconstructed preoperative CT scans with superimposed positioning of the endoscope. We have now adapted CAS for endoscopic sinus surgery, which meant that a variety of visualization methods were tested.…
