L'ADENOIDECTOMIA PER VIA ENDOSCOPICA

2012

Gli Autori descrivono i vantaggi dell’adenoidectomia eseguita in video-endoscopia per la possibilità di asportare completamente la tonsilla faringea ed il tessuto linfatico peritubarico, spesso responsabile delle otiti sieromucose recidivanti. Infine espongono una tecnica chirurgica personale, che consente la sicura asportazione totale della tonsilla faringea.

AGE-RELATED HEARING IMPAIRMENT (ARHI): A COMMON SENSORY DEFICIT IN THE ELDERLY

2011

This paper aims to give a broad overview of the scientific findings related to Age-related hearing impairment that is a complex disorder, with both environmental as well as genetic factors contributing to the impairment. The involvement of several environmental factors has been partially elucidated. A first step towards the identification of the genetic factors has been made, which will result in the identification of susceptibility genes, and will provide possible targets for the future treatment and/or prevention of ARHI.

Intratympanic treatment with dexamethasone as first-line or salvage therapy in sudden sensorineural hearing loss: Results of a retrospective study

2014

Aim: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is a condition of emergency in Otolaryngology. Although there is no universally accepted treatment protocol, corticosteroids, intravenous and oral, are the most common treatment The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intratympanic administration of dexamethasone as first line therapy, or as a rescue therapy after treatment with systemic steroids in patients not responders. Methods: The population, consisting of 85 patients referred to our unit from January 2010 to December 2013, was divided into two groups according to the treatment protocol performed. We also analyzed possible variables that may affect the response to treatment such …

Cholesteatoma associated with Kabuki syndrome

2007

Kabuki syndrome (KS), also identified as Kabuki make-up syndrome or Niikawa-Kuroki syndrome, is a multiple malformation/mental retardation syndrome that was described initially in Japan but is now known to occur in many other ethnic groups. The syndrome is characterized by varying degrees of mental retardation, postnatal growth retardation, distinct facial characteristics resembling the Kabuki actor's make-up, cleft or high-arched palate, brachydactyly, scoliosis, and persistence of finger pads. There is no definitive laboratory diagnostic test for KS, thus diagnosis is based on phenotypic presentation and the exclusion of other known syndromes. Familial cases have been reported and autosom…

Clinical evolution of asthma from early childhood to development age

2005

The aim of study was to conduct evaluation over twenty years on patients with relapsing wheezing breathing since their early years of life. The research included a period of observation started in 1978 up to 2002. The follow-up included 381 patients. The enrolment was carried out during the first 15 years, after being evaluated during outpatient or/ and hospitalization the children with a clinical picture resembling asthma (at least three episodes of dyspnea for a year, at least 2 years prior to our first observation). During follow-up the rhole of some risk factors in childhood able to affect the persistency of asthma in adulthood was considered. An early onset of symptoms resulted to be a…

Acute pneumolabyrinth: a rare complication after cochlear implantation in a patient with obstructive sleep apnoea on CPAP therapy

2023

Pneumolabyrinth is a condition characterised by the presence of air within the inner ear and is a rare complication after cochlear implant surgery. One of the causes of pneumolabyrinth may be the increase in pressure in the middle ear. The use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is an effective treatment strategy for obstructive sleep apnoea. According to a recent study, the use of CPAP should be delayed by 1 or 2 weeks in subjects undergoing middle ear surgery; however, there is currently no indication to delay the CPAP in subjects undergoing cochlear implant surgery. We report the case of a patient on CPAP who underwent left cochlear implantation and, in the early postoperative …

Emangiopericitoma Vs Tumore glomico

2010

OBIETTIVI I tumori che originano dalle cellule di supporto dei vasi, i periciti, appartengono alla vasta categoria dei tumori dei tessuti molli che sono lesioni generalmente frequenti nel distretto testa-collo. La trasformazione in senso neoplastico dei periciti è comunque poco frequente e può dare origine a due gruppi neoplastici: i tumori glomici e l’emangiopericitoma. Gli autori presentano in seno alla stessa famiglia due casi clinici rispettivamente di tumori glomico timpanico e di emangiopericitoma del condotto uditivo esterno. MATERIALI I tumori glomici timpanici e giugulari sono rare neoformazioni ipervascolarizzate, a lenta crescita, che si sviluppano nell’ambito dell’orecchio medio…

Diagnosis and treatment of Ewing's Sarcoma of the tongue

2019

The Ewing's sarcoma Family of Tumors (EFT) includes classic Ewing's Sarcoma (ES) of bone, Extraskeletal Ewing's Sarcoma (EES) and malignant peripheral primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor (pNET) of bone and soft tissue. ES is an aggressive tumor with a high incidence of local recurrence and distant metastasis. The skeletal form is more common and typically occurs in the long bones of the extremities. The extra skeletal form occurs in the soft tissues of the lower extremities, paravertebral tissues, chest wall, retroperitoneum and rarely in the head and neck region in about 1- 4% of cases. Involvement of the head and neck is usually identified in the nasal or oral cavities, sinuses or soft tissue…
