Joseph Campbell has explained many of the ancient and current myths and how they reflect our emotional needs. But the myths surrounding tinnitus are causing harm because doctors are not offering patients therapy that is available and patients are not seeking these therapies.

Air gun injuries normally present with a wide variety of clinical forms from minor to life-threatening injuries. The rare case of an air gun pellet retained in the pterygopalatine fossa has the risk of immediate or delayed haemorrhage as illustrated by our patient. Gunshot injuries must be considered as potentially life-threatening and raising awareness regarding its potential threats are required in order to minimize the air gun injuries, especially in children.

Inferior turbinate hypertrophy is commonly found in patients with nasal obstruction and is often concurrent with septal deviation. Medical therapy for inferior turbinate hypertrophy includes an antihistamine or nasal decongestant spray [1]. If hypertrophied inferior turbinates are refractory to medical management, surgical reduction of the turbinates can be performed [2,3]. Several techniques exist for surgical inferior turbinate reduction. Submucous resection of the inferior turbinates involves removing the underlying bone and erectile tissue of the turbinates while sparing the mucosal tissue [4,5]. In contrast, partial excision of the inferior turbinates involves trimming portions of the inferior turbinate bone along with its overlying mucosa [4]. Both techniques are often performed in conjunction with outfracturing of the inferior turbinates, which lateralizes the entire turbinate structure and expands the internal nasal valve. Other surgical methods for inferior turbinate reduction include total turbinectomy, microdebrider removal, electrocautery, laser cautery, cryotherapy, and radiofrequency ablation [1,3-4,6-9]. Turbinate reduction surgery can be associated with adverse postoperative outcomes such as postoperative epistaxis, nasal congestion, infection, and nerve injury, and empty nose syndrome [4,10]. There is literature which comments on the rate of postoperative complications and the type of surgical technique utilized. For example, previous studies described rates of epistaxis to be 1.6% after submucous resection with a microdebrider and 5.8% after radical turbinectomy [9,11]. Other studies comment on nasal congestion: 96% of patients reported an improvement in nasal breathing two weeks after surgery, and 88% after two months, after undergoing bilateral inferior turbinate reduction. This was compared to 78% of patients who reported improvement after two weeks, and 76% after two months, after a submucosal diathermy turbinate reduction [12]. The purpose of this study was to compare two surgical techniques of inferior turbinate reduction, submucous resection versus partial excision, with their associated postoperative complications including epistaxis and recurrent nasal congestion in patients undergoing functional nasal surgery at a single academic center. To date, no other study has directly compared these two methods with endpoints of epistaxis and nasal congestion.

Parathyroid adenomas are the most common cause of hyperparathyroidism, with a prevalence of 0.2-0.5% [1]. Patients classically present with signs and symptoms pertaining to and/or complications arising from hypercalcemia including osteoporosis and renal calculi. This case-based review will focus on atypical presentations of a parathyroid adenoma. The first documented report illustrating a parathyroid adenoma with extracapsular hemorrhage was in 1934 [2]. From the limited number of case reports published to date, presentation is classically with signs of extensive cervical ecchymosis in the region, as well as signs and symptoms secondary to compression of adjacent structures within the neck [3,4]. These cases are challenging to diagnosis pre-operatively as they occur abruptly, without a known precipitant and are infrequent. A further anomaly of this case relates to the biochemical markers being within the normal range; the mechanism by which this can occur will be explained. This is the first published case report of a patient presenting with stridor from an acute, near complete, airway obstruction with normal biochemical markers, as the initial presentation of a parathyroid adenoma, which required immediate surgical intervention.

Controversies have recently arisen regarding post-operative haemorrhagic complications in relation to the surgical procedures adopted for tonsillectomy. The authors set out to verify the relationship between surgical techniques and post-operative haemorrhage based on the analysis of data derived from multi-centric studies.
