Audiological Profile in Adenoid Hypertrophy
ConclusionIn a significant percentage of cases, Adenoid hypertrophy affects the middle ear leading to conductive hearing loss. If left untreated it can lead to delayed speech and language development, auditory processing disorders, mental retardation, and physical and social complications. These are avoidable through primary health care education, accurate diagnosis, and effective treatment. (Source: Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery)

AbstractLymphomas are a diverse group of neoplastic disorders arising primarily in lymph nodes. They have been majorly classified into Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin lymphomas(NHL). NHL can be of B, T and Null cell categories having further subtypes based on their histological characteristics. Lymphomas can be nodal and extra nodal. The head and neck area are the second most common site of extra nodal lymphoma, with tonsils being the most common site of involvement; other sites include the nasopharynx and tongue base. B- Cell type being the most common type. Predominantly occurs in elderly. Presentations depends on the site invol...

Primary Typical Meningioma of the Sphenoid Sinus: A Case Report and Literature Review
AbstractPrimary cranial meningioma is extremely rare and only rarely described in clinical practice, as is primary sinus ectopic meningioma. We detailed the surgical management of a female patient, aged 83, who had a primary meningioma of the sphenoid sinus. This uncommon clinical entity was the subject of a study of the literature, and its prognosis was summarized. (Source: Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery)

Case Report: Extensive Osteomyelitis of the Craniofacial Skeleton Following Operative Fracture Treatment
AbstractOsteomyelitis is a bone inflammation caused by an infectious microorganism, which may lead to complete structure decay. Over time, along with the discovery and usage of powerful antibiotics, it became a rare occurrence in modern practice. In this paper, we will present a case of a patient with craniofacial osteomyelitis, which occurred as a complication of previous trauma and incomplete surgical treatment, due to lack of compliance. Chronic diseases in the non-cooperative patient led to the development of a severe clinical state. We believe that the existence of communication between defects on the anterior wall of...

Atypical Presentation of Acute Suppurative Otitis Media with Facial Palsy: Extra Medullary Manifestation of AML in Temporal Bone
AbstractAcute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is the most common leukemia observed in the adult population, accounting for 80% of all leukemia cases. Extramedullary involvement in AML, where leukemic cells are found in organs or tissues outside the blood or bone marrow, is a rare occurrence [1]. The most frequent sites of extramedullary disease include the skin, central nervous system (CNS), and lymph nodes [2, 3]. In this case report, we present an instance of extramedullary AML in the temporal bone, which initially presented with symptoms such as earache, discharge, and facial asymmetry, mimicking acute suppurative otitis media w...

Atypical Intramuscular Lipoma of the Tongue. Case Report
AbstractAlthough they are frequently benign tumors of mesenchymal origin, lipomas sporadically develop in the oral cavity. Intramuscular lipomas, which originate inside muscles, are a rare subtype. When found in the tongue, they are considerably more uncommon and its etiology remains unclear. Histological examination of the specimen shows mature adipocytes of uniform size with minimal vascularization and sometimes striated muscle fibers are to be seen in the periphery. A yellowish submucosal mass that is slowly expanding, painless, and asymptomatic, is typically seen based on a patient ’s history and clinical examination...

Malignant Nerve Sheath Tumour – A Case Report
AbstractMalignant nerve sheath tumors are rare and aggressive soft tissue sarcomas. They contribute to 5 –10% of all soft tissue sarcomas. They can be sporadic, occur in patients with NF1 (neurofibromatosis 1) or can occur after radiation therapy. A high rate of recurrence and hematogenous metastasis is seen in these patients. They are also associated with poor prognosis. A case of malignant nerve sh eath tumor seen in a 44-year-old male with pre-existing NF1 is being discussed here due to the unique nature of the disease and its rarity.

Reliability of an Android Based Free Application for Assessment of Hearing Loss in Adults
AbstractHearing loss is an important health care concern. Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) is considered Gold Standard for audiometric evaluations though, there exist a huge variance between the demand and the actual services available. As smartphones are mobile, applications are upgradable, results are reproducible, the mobile applications may offer a good screening tool, especially in remote areas . There are many smartphone-based hearing applications which are already in use. However, effectiveness of such applications needs to be validated. To evaluate the reliability of ‘Hearing Test’ a phone application against PTA...

Computed Tomographic Study of Frontal Sinus Cells and Opacification as Per the International Frontal Sinus Anatomy Classification
Conclusion: The ANC were the most prevalent among all the IFAC cells and the FSC were the least preval ent. There was no significant association with the presence of different types of IFAC cells and frontal sinus opacification except for SBFC. However, there was a significantly higher number of diseased IFAC cells associated with frontal sinus opacification than in those without frontal sinus opacif ication.

Pediatric Cholesteatoma: An Overview of Presentation, Surgical Strategy and Outcomes of an Individualized Approach
This study was done to (i) enumerate the presentation of PC and the surgical techniques adopted (ii) analyse the outcomes viz., residual/ recurrence rates and hearing results. A cross sectional record based study was done on 618 cases of PC operated between 1983 and 2015, at a centre dedicated to otology and lateral skull base surgery. The data which was maintained on the basis of clinical and peri- operative findings was analysed. Otorrhea (59.2%) and hearing loss (54.2%) were the common symptoms. The surgeries done were: canal wall up (CWU) (44.3%), canal wall down (CWD) (41.1%), modified bondy ’s mastoidectomy (5.7%),...
