Patients with SSCD can experience vertigo and oscillopsia (the apparent motion of objects that are known to be stationary) evoked by loud noises and/or by maneuvers that change middle-ear or intracranial pressure (such as coughing, sneezing, or straining). Auditory manifestations of the syndrome include autophony (increased resonance of one’s own voice), hypersensitivity to bone-conducted sounds, and an apparent conductive hearing loss revealed on audiometry. Some patients have exclusively vestibular symptoms and signs; some have both auditory and vestibular manifestations; and still other patients have exclusively auditory complaints.

ABS TRACT Objectives: Recurrent tonsillitis and tonsillar hypertrophy are two diseases develop in the same tissue but most probably with different pathophysiological mechanisms. The role of many chemokines in tonsillitis is still being investigated. In this study, IL-1 α and β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-15, and TNF α expressions in chronic-inflamed and hypertrophic tonsil tissue were studied. Material and Methods: The study was conducted with Baskent University Department of Otolaryngology and Medical Genetics. A total of 45 specimens from patients with recurrent tonsillitis (17) and tonsillar hypertrophy (28) who underwent tonsillectomy were included in the study. Comparison between expression levels of cytokines and tissue groups was performed by Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) technique. Results: We found a statistically significant difference only in the expression of IL-8. The mean expression level of IL-8 was higher in the hypertrophy group than in the other group. Conclusion: In our study, we didn’t find a significant difference in the expression levels of IL-1 α and β, IL-6, IL-15, and TNF α. Only IL-8 expression was higher in tonsillar hypertrophy group. This result is thought to be related to the increased number of germinal centers seen in the hypertrophy group. It is thought that new studies investigating these cytokines and other cytokines will guide us to find the difference between hypertrophy and recurrent/chronic inflammation.

ABS TRACT Objective: To correlate high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) imaging findings of chronic otitis media (COM) with and without cholesteatoma regarding the presence, site, and severity of bone defects. Material and Methods: Temporal bone HRCT images of patients with COM, obtained between 2011 and 2022, were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with a soft tissue mass in the tympanic cavity were allocated into either COM with cholesteatoma (CH+COM) or without cholesteatoma group (CH-COM) based on pathology results and-/or magnetic resonance imaging findings. Computed tomography images were analyzed with regard to the presence, site and severity of middle ear bone erosions/defects and group comparisons were made. Results: A total of 60 patients (CH+COM: 23 patients, CH-COM: 37 patients) were included. Blunting of the scutum, defect of the tegmen tympani, absence/incompleteness of the Körner's septum, erosion of the ossicular chain, and destruction of the medial and lateral tympanic walls were significantly more frequent in the CH+COM group (p<0.05). While small bone discontinuities ( ≤ 2 mm) of the tegmen tympani or blunting of the scutum were present in both groups, a greater defect of these structures was observed only in the CH+COM group. No significant difference was detected neither regarding the location of the soft tissue masses nor the presence of posterior wall defects (p>0.05). Con-clusion: Radiologists should be aware of bone erosions when evaluating temporal bone HRCT images of patients with COM, even if cholesteatoma is not suspected. Furthermore, reporting the severity of bone destruction could be a helpful hint regarding the presence of cholesteatoma and might impact surgical planning.
