Introduction: Superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome (SSCDS) is described as a disorder of the inner ear denoted by the absence of a bony covering, causing vestibular and auditory symptomatology. The vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) provide information regarding the vestibular function, which is useful in the diagnosis of vestibular disorders. Our aim is to assess the differential role of ocular VEMP (oVEMP) and cervical VEMP (cVEMP).Methods: oVEMPs and cVEMPs were collected from four male and five female (64.5 ± 3.6 years old) with SSCDS validated by computerized axial tomography between 2017 and 2019. The neurophysiological assessment included the calculation of latency and amplitude of both the pathological ear (PE) and the healthy ear (HE) and the asymmetry ratio (AR) of both ears. A control gro..... ReadMore

Irritational fibroma is a common presentation on the lateral surfaces of the tongue due to irregular and sharp surfaces of the dentition. It is a reactive lesion and is benign in nature. Irritational fibroma is well managed with conventional scalpel excision techniques. Of all the techniques mentioned for excision of the lesion, laser is found to produce the best results in terms of intraoperative bleeding, recurrence, scar formation and patient comfort. This case report presents the management of irritational fibroma in a middle aged female patient with diode laser...... ReadMore

Necrotizing periodontal diseases are the most severe rapidly destructive, non-communicable, periodontal infection of complex etiology. The diagnosis is based on clinical and radiological features. Necrotizing periodontal lesions are confined to periodontal tissues, including gingiva, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. The pathognomonic clinical characteristics are the typical punched out appearance, interproximal craters and spontaneous bleeding. The predisposing factors include host factors, such as psychological stress, immunosuppression, a smoking habit, and poor oral hygiene. If it is left untreated, it may spread laterally and apically to involve the entire gingival complex. In this case report, we presented a 24- year old male with necrotizing gingivitis and no systemic disease with a history of intense stress. The case repor..... ReadMore

The present case report describes the surgical removal of mucocele in a young female patient. A thirteen year old female patient was diagnosed clinically with mucocele of lower lip. A conventional surgical procedure was performed using scalpel and the excised lesion was sent for histological investigation. Histological investigation revealed well circumscribed cystic spaces filled with mucous clearly illustrating extravasation type mucocele. Complete regression of the lesion was seen with no recurrence in 6 months follow up. Surgical excision of the lesion with the involved minor salivary gland proved to give satisfactory results......

Introduction: Neurological injury is an important cause of morbidity and post-operatory mortality in high complexity cardiac surgery in children. The auditory brainstem response (ABR) evaluates specific areas of the brainstem. It provides useful information about the functional state of the brain during important cardiovascular procedure. Objective: To assess the progression in ABR waves as an indicator of neural integrity during controlled brain hypoxia-ischemia among children undergoing to cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods: Nine pediatric patients aged 0 to 2 years-old have were included. The electrophysiological assessment – by means of ABR – was performed at the operating room, during the following established steps of the cardiac surgery: general anesthesia (t0), CPB and hypothermia (t1), and at the .....

Aims and objectives: To detect super numeracy tooth in nasal cavity. Introduction: The ectopic dentition present in intranasal area is very rare finding clinically. It is very difficult to make proper diagnosis of such condition. Teeth is present in ovaries, testes and pre-sacral regions. The presence of teeth in maxillary sinus, mandibular condyle, chin, nose and orbit in maxillofacial region is also observed. Case Report: Prospective cross-sectional study was conducted. Anterior microscopy was done; proper detection of supernumerary tooth was carried out. Result: A 21-year-old female patient presented with complaints of intermittent right sided epistaxis. She had history of occasional headache for 6 months. An anterior rhinoscopic examination revealed a hard white-mass which is peripherally surrounded by granulation tissue that lies..... ReadMore

Objective: To present the different clinical manifestations and diagnostic strategies of isolated sphenoid non-invasive fungal sinusitis (SNIFS) in order to prevent delayed diagnosis and providing early management.Method: This study is a retrospective clinical study, conducted between January 2008 to November 2019. It was done in the ENT department of two institutes: King Fahad specialist Hospital and Qatif Central Hospital, Saudi Arabia. Only patients with sole involvement of non-invasive fungal sinusitis in the sphenoid sinus were included.Conclusion: The incidence of SNIFS is rare. However, it’s clinically important because untreated SNIFS can cause significant complications. The clinical features of SNIFS are ambiguous and nonspecific which make its diagnosis more difficult. Post-nasal discharge and headache refrac..... ReadMore

The incidence of radiation-induced tumors is increasing in the oncology population as a result of increased survival, with improvement in cancer treatment. Exposure to therapeutic doses of radiation has also been shown to be associated with an increased risk of a second cancer, though the precise risk remains unknown. The occurrence of sarcomas in irradiated tissues is an uncommon but well-documented long-term complication of radiotherapy. In the current study, the case of a 55-year-old man presented with maxillary osteosarcoma occurring 22 years post radiation for his maxillary lymphoma...... ReadMore

Eagle’s syndrome was a rare condition, and it was not commonly suspected in clinical practice. The elongation of the styloid process (SP) was considered as the main cause of this syndrome. However, many patients who were incidentally found of an elongated SP were asymptomatic. This case report presented a rare case of the bilateral elongated SP with the unilateral symptom. A 59-year-old woman who had come to our attention with the complaint of pain in the right side of the neck, and intensified pain during neck rotation, swallowing and mouth opening. She also complained of pain in the angle of the mandible, the face and otalgia. The computed tomography scans and 3D reconstruction allow us to measure the angulation and length of the SP as well as evaluate the relationship between the SP and adjacent anatomical structu.....

The Objective of this article is to Review current literature about performing a turbinectomy associated with Rhinoseptoplasty. Three clinical trials with level one of evidence about the issue have been published recently. All of them selected patients with nasal obstruction who were submitted to Rhinoseptoplasty. The NOSE scale to measure quality of life in these patients was used. Other tools of objective measurement as Acoustic rhinometry and rhinomanometry or subjective scales, Snot-20 WHOQOl and ROE were also explored. Each study used a different technique for turbinate reduction. All of the three found the same results discussed below. To review the scientific evidences of these articles can bring new outlook about this controversial topic...... ReadMore

Puberphonia is most often treated using voice therapy (vocal exercises) by speech-language pathologists or speech therapists that have experience in treating voice disorders. The duration of treatment is commonly one to five weeks. Indirect treatment options for puberphonia focus on creating an environment where direct treatment options will be more effective. Counseling, performed by the, a psychologist, or counselor, can help patients identify the psychological factors that contribute to their disorder and give them tools to address those factors directly. It may take long time. Patients may also be educated about good vocal hygiene and how their behavior could have long term effects on their voice. In some cases when traditional voice therapy is ineffective, surgical interventions are considered. This can occur in situations where inte..... ReadMore
