Parathyroid adenomas are most commonly diagnosed when symptoms consistent with primary hyperparathyroidism arise. However, certain parathyroid glands may enlarge without such symptoms. Described here is a case in which a patient presented with acute signs of unilateral cervical point tenderness, dysphagia, and odynophagia. Calcium and parathyroid hormone levels tested within normal range. Imaging revealed an enlarged right-sided mass, with compression of the trachea-esophageal groove and potentially the right recurrent laryngeal nerve. Surgical excision was performed, and final pathology revealed an infarcted parathyroid adenoma. Clinical symptoms promptly resolved thereafter. Current NIH criteria for parathyroidectomy include various symptoms of hyperparathyroidism but do not include the above findings. Nonsecreting parathyroid adenomas rarely cause laryngeal symptoms, as this has only been documented once before.

甲状旁腺瘤是最常见的诊断症状符合原发性甲状旁腺功能亢进出现。然而,某些甲状旁腺可能增大而无此类症状。这里描述了一个病例,患者表现出单侧颈椎点压痛、吞咽困难和吞咽困难的急性症状。钙和甲状旁腺激素水平正常。影像显示右侧肿物,压迫气管-食管沟,并可能压迫右侧喉返神经。手术切除,最终病理显示梗死甲状旁腺瘤。临床症状随即消失。目前的NIH甲状旁腺切除术标准包括甲状旁腺功能亢进的各种症状,但不包括上述发现。非分泌性甲状旁腺瘤很少引起喉部症状,因为这种情况以前只记录过一次。

Instrument fracture during procedure is not uncommon for dental surgeons, especially in root canal surgeries, usually inside the root canals. In rare instances, high-speed rotary instruments can be fractured and can be dislodged in key anatomical areas of face. In our case report, a high-speed dental burr most probably penetrated the root and was seen in the left maxillary sinus during a likely routine dental procedure. The work-up and endoscopic surgical management of the case is described. Practitioners should be in great care during dental procedures and endodontic treatment to avoid unexpected complications by introducing foreign bodies into maxillary sinus. Any patient presenting with recurrent unilateral facial pain or unilateral sinus symptoms with/without previous history of sinusitis should raise the suspect of a foreign body in the paranasal sinus regardless of any previous history of dental procedure.

在牙科外科手术过程中器械骨折并不罕见,特别是在根管手术中,通常是在根管内。在罕见的情况下,高速旋转器械可能会在面部的关键解剖区域断裂和移位。在我们的病例报告中,一个高速的牙齿毛刺很可能穿透了牙根,在一次可能的常规牙科手术中,在左侧上颌窦被发现。检查和内镜手术管理的情况下描述。在牙科手术和牙髓治疗过程中,医生应非常小心,避免异物进入上颌窦引起意外并发症。任何出现反复的单侧面部疼痛或单侧鼻窦症状并有/没有鼻窦炎病史的患者,无论是否有牙科手术史,都应怀疑鼻窦内有异物。

A rare case of synchronous ipsilateral pleomorphic adenomas (PA) of the left parotid and submandibular glands is reported. Simultaneous multiple PA in major salivary glands are a very rare entity, and merely few cases of ipsilateral synchronous PA involving parotid and submandibular glands are reported in the literature. The case of a 40-year-old female with a six-year history of asymptomatic growing lesion in both left parotid and left submandibular regions is presented. Left superficial parotidectomy and left submandibular gland excision at the same surgery have been performed. The aim of this article is to highlight the importance of an accurate head and neck presurgery examination both clinically and radiologically, keeping in mind the possibility of multiple tumor location.

本文报告一例罕见的左侧腮腺及下颌骨腺同时发生的同侧多形性腺瘤。同时发生在大涎腺的多发性PA是非常罕见的,文献中报道的同侧同时发生的PA涉及腮腺和下颌下腺的病例很少。病例40岁的女性有6年的历史无症状生长病变在左侧腮腺和左侧下颌骨区域提出。左侧腮腺浅表切除术和左侧颌下腺切除术在同一手术中进行。本文的目的是强调准确的头颈部手术检查的重要性,包括临床和影像学检查,同时考虑到多发肿瘤位置的可能性。

Neuroendocrine adenomas of the middle ear are rare tumors that represent less than 2% of primary tumors of the ear. In this paper, we describe a case of a 40-year-old woman who developed neuroendocrine adenoma of the middle ear. The specific management strategy for this rare tumor is unclear; information in the available literature on the management of this tumor is varied. However, an extensive demolition seems to be the gold standard treatment for this tumor to avoid recurrence and regional metastases in the lymph node or distant metastases. For the present case, we performed an incisional biopsy to confirm the diagnosis, and thereafter, we performed a canal-wall-down tympanoplasty. For cases like the present one, careful long-term clinical and instrumental follow-up is required to monitor progress and facilitate patient recovery.

中耳神经内分泌腺瘤是一种罕见的肿瘤,占耳原发肿瘤的不到2%。在本文中,我们描述了一个40岁的妇女谁发展中耳神经内分泌腺瘤的情况。这种罕见肿瘤的具体治疗策略尚不清楚;现有文献中关于该肿瘤治疗的信息是多种多样的。然而,广泛切除似乎是治疗这种肿瘤的金标准,以避免复发和淋巴结局部转移或远处转移。对于本病例,我们进行了切口活检以确认诊断,此后,我们进行了管道-下壁鼓室成形术。对于像本病例这样的病例,需要仔细的长期临床随访和器械随访,以监测进展并促进患者康复。

Background: Buccal space tumors constitute rare pathologies with significant histological diversity. They may pose serious diagnostic and therapeutic challenges for the head and neck surgeon.

Methods: A case of buccal space tumor diagnosed and treated in a tertiary center is presented. Clinical presentation, imaging, and surgical approach are discussed, followed by review of the literature.

Results: A 79-year-old male patient with a slowly growing painless mass on the right cheek presented to a head and neck reference center. Imaging revealed a tumor of the right buccal space with nonspecific characteristics. Imaging studies revealed extended infiltration of the masseter muscle as well as the anterior border of the parotid gland. FNA biopsy was performed but was nondiagnostic. The decision of surgical excision with a modified parotidectomy incision was taken. The lesion was completely excised with preservation of neighboring facial nerve branches and ipsilateral Stensen's duct. The postoperative course was uneventful. Histological examination showed CLL/Lymphoma, and the patient was referred to the hematology department for staging and further management.

Conclusion: Differential diagnosis of buccal space masses is very diverse. Despite challenges in the diagnostic and therapeutic approach, these entities may be managed surgically with minimal morbidity.

背景:颊间隙肿瘤是一种罕见的病理,具有显著的组织学多样性。它们可能对头颈部外科医生构成严重的诊断和治疗挑战。方法:报告1例经三级中心诊治的颊间隙肿瘤。我们将讨论临床表现、影像学和手术入路,然后回顾文献。结果:一名79岁男性患者,右脸颊有缓慢生长的无痛性肿块,来到头颈部参考中心。影像学显示右侧颊间隙肿瘤,无特异性特征。影像学检查显示咬肌及腮腺前缘有广泛浸润。行FNA活检,但未确诊。决定采用改良的腮腺切除切口进行手术切除。病变被完全切除,保留了邻近的面神经分支和同侧斯坦森管。术后过程平淡无奇。组织学检查显示为CLL/淋巴瘤,患者被转诊到血液科进行分期和进一步治疗。结论:颊间隙肿块的鉴别诊断非常多样化。尽管在诊断和治疗方法方面存在挑战,但这些实体可以通过手术以最小的发病率进行管理。

Objective: A case of a skull base cholesterol granuloma (CG) of the squamosal temporal bone. This is the first ever reported case of CG in a well-pneumatized squamous temporal bone.

Design: Case report and review of the literature. Discussion. CG is a cystic mass typically found in the petrous apex and occasionally in the paranasal sinuses and orbit. Experience with the treatment of these expansile and inflammatory processes has largely been garnered from those occurring in the petrous apex, where they are surgically drained, via a transtympanic, transmastoid, or middle fossa approach. We report a case of cholesterol granuloma situated in the temporal fossa presenting as a temporal mass. The accessible location of this particular lesion made it amenable to total excision, avoiding the need for surgical drainage and possibility for recurrence.

Conclusion: This case supports the theory of pathogenesis of such lesions typically occurring where pneumatized air spaces interface with bone marrow, in this case, where the reaches of pneumatized cells in the squamous portion of the temporal bone meet diploic bone.

目的:报告一例颞骨鳞片颅底胆固醇肉芽肿(CG)。这是首次报道的病例CG在一个充分充气鳞状颞骨。设计:案例报告和文献回顾。讨论。CG是一种囊性肿块,通常见于岩尖,偶尔见于鼻窦和鼻窦部。治疗这些扩张性和炎症性突起的经验主要来自于发生在岩尖的突起,这些突起通过经鼓室、经乳突或中窝入路手术引流。我们报告一例胆固醇肉芽肿位于颞窝表现为颞肿块。这种特殊病变的易接近的位置使其适合完全切除,避免了手术引流的需要和复发的可能性。结论:本病例支持这种病变的发病机制理论,这种病变通常发生在充气的空气空间与骨髓交界处,在本病例中,颞骨鳞状部分充气细胞的范围与颞骨交叉处。

Second branchial cleft cysts (BCCs) are common congenital causes of neck swellings; however, isolated parapharyngeal space presentation is extremely rare, with only sporadic cases reported. Our objectives in this report are to describe a case and review different diagnostic and management strategies adopted in the current world literature. The case presented is a 26-year-old female with a large isolated parapharyngeal BCC extending to skull base in which first presenting symptoms were referred otalgia and painful side-to-side head rotation for months followed by odynophagia. A previously ordered computed tomography (CT) scan suspected a parapharyngeal abscess. Correct diagnosis was preoperatively achieved using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showing a 3.1 × 3.4 × 5.4 cm parapharyngeal BCC. Cyst was completely surgically excised transoral without complications. No evidence of recurrence has been noted after 24-month follow-up. A comprehensive world literature search for all reported cases in the last 30-years revealed thirty cases in 23 separate case reports with different diagnostic and surgical modalities adopted. Presentation and management strategies in such rare cases are discussed in detail. Our study shows that although rare, BCC diagnosis should be kept in mind while dealing with isolated parapharyngeal space swellings with MRI being key for successful preoperative diagnosis. If encountered, the transoral route can be a safe, aesthetically pleasing and effective way for complete surgical excision in contrast to most other parapharyngeal swellings, which are usually better excised via a transcervical approach.

第二鳃裂囊肿(BCCs)是常见的先天性颈部肿胀的原因;然而,孤立的咽旁间隙的表现是极其罕见的,只有零星的病例报道。我们在本报告中的目标是描述一个病例,并回顾当前世界文献中采用的不同诊断和管理策略。这个病例是一位26岁的女性,她有一个巨大的孤立性咽旁基底细胞癌,一直延伸到颅底,她最初的症状是耳痛和疼痛的左右头部旋转,持续了几个月,然后是咽痛。先前的计算机断层扫描(CT)怀疑咽旁脓肿。术前磁共振成像(MRI)显示一3.1 × 3.4 × 5.4 cm咽旁BCC,诊断正确。囊肿经口完全手术切除,无并发症。随访24个月无复发迹象。对过去30年所有报告病例进行全面的世界文献检索,发现23例独立病例报告中的30例采用了不同的诊断和手术方式。在这种罕见的情况下,详细讨论了表现和管理策略。我们的研究表明,虽然罕见,但在处理孤立性咽旁间隙肿胀时应牢记BCC诊断,MRI是术前成功诊断的关键。如果遇到,经口途径可以是一种安全,美观和有效的完全手术切除方法,而不是大多数其他咽旁肿胀,通常最好通过经宫颈途径切除。

Background: Endolaryngeal suture lateralisation is an ideal operation for bilateral vocal fold paralysis. However, restenosis owing to breakage and slippage of suture can sometimes occur. In such a case, methods that are more effective in expanding the glottis, including arytenoidectomy, must be selected. Case Report. Herein, we report two female patients aged 86 and 54 years who presented with bilateral vocal cord paralysis and who had restenosis after suture lateralisation. Endoscopic partial arytenoidectomy was performed, and satisfactory outcomes were obtained. This method maintains the height of the arytenoid and preserves its sensation by leaving a part of the cartilage and mucous membrane.

Conclusion: Endoscopic partial arytenoidectomy is effective for securing the airway while preserving vocal function and preventing aspiration. This technique is suitable for patients with restenosis after they have undergone endolaryngeal suture lateralisation.

背景:喉内缝合侧边术是治疗双侧声带麻痹的理想术式。然而,由于缝线断裂和滑脱,有时会发生再狭窄。在这种情况下,必须选择扩大声门更有效的方法,包括杓状突切除术。病例报告。在此,我们报告了两名年龄分别为86岁和54岁的女性患者,她们表现为双侧声带麻痹,并在缝线外侧化后出现再狭窄。经内镜行部分杓状体切除术,取得满意的结果。这种方法通过保留部分软骨和粘膜来保持类杓骨的高度和感觉。结论:内镜下杓状部分切除术在保护气道的同时能有效保护声带功能,防止误吸。该技术适用于咽内缝合侧化术后再狭窄的患者。

A Rare Case of Fungal Necrotising Otitis Externa Centred on the Left Temporomandibular Joint. 以左侧颞下颌关节为中心的真菌性坏死性外耳道炎罕见病例
IF 0.4 Q4 OTORHINOLARYNGOLOGY Pub Date : 2020-11-06 eCollection Date: 2020-01-01 DOI: 10.1155/2020/8874754

Introduction: Necrotising otitis externa (NOE) is a rare life-threatening complication of simple otitis externa which can be difficult to diagnose and manage. It is very rarely centred on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Fungi cause NOE in approximately 5-20% of patients, and a high index of suspicion is required for diagnosis, particularly when there is no improvement with prolonged topical and intravenous antibiotic therapy.

Objective: To report a novel case of fungal NOE centred on the left TMJ in an immunocompromised adult male with a focus on investigations and optimal management. Case Report. A 67-year-old male with comorbid chronic renal impairment presented to our otolaryngology department with prolonged left otalgia and otorrhoea. Subsequent cross-sectional imaging demonstrated left NOE centred on the TMJ. Poor resolution with prolonged courses of systemic and topical anti-pseudomonal antibiotics prompted maxillofacial surgical input for left TMJ exploration, washout, and biopsy from the joint capsule. The causative organism was identified as Aspergillus flavus on PCR analysis. The patient was successfully treated with oral posaconazole and repeated topical insertions of amphotericin B-soaked ribbon gauze to the left ear. Discussion. A combination of various imaging modalities including CT, MRI, Tc-99, and gallium-67 are utilised in clinical practice both to diagnose NOE and subsequently monitor disease progression or resolution. Immunocompromised patients with confirmed fungal NOE may require a combination of treatments including surgical debridement and prolonged antifungal therapy for a number of months, if not lifelong, treatment. Initiating empirical antifungal therapy may be justified in some patients. However, this should be judged on a case-by-case basis and guided by discussion with the local microbiology and infectious diseases departments. However, there is no national guideline or consensus regarding treatment of these patients, especially in cases of fungal NOE.

简介坏死性外耳道炎(NOE)是一种罕见的威胁生命的单纯性外耳道炎并发症,很难诊断和处理。它很少以颞下颌关节(TMJ)为中心。约有 5-20% 的患者由真菌引起 NOE,诊断时需要高度怀疑,尤其是在长期局部和静脉抗生素治疗无好转时:报告一例免疫力低下的成年男性左侧颞下颌关节真菌 NOE 的新病例,重点是检查和优化治疗。病例报告。一名 67 岁的男性患者因长期左侧耳痛和耳鸣到我院耳鼻喉科就诊。随后的横断面成像显示左侧 NOE 以颞下颌关节为中心。经过长时间的全身和局部抗假性抗生素治疗后,症状缓解不佳,颌面外科决定对左侧颞下颌关节进行探查、冲洗和关节囊活检。通过 PCR 分析,确定致病菌为黄曲霉菌。患者通过口服泊沙康唑和反复在左耳局部塞入两性霉素 B 浸泡过的带状纱布获得了成功治疗。讨论。在临床实践中,包括 CT、核磁共振成像、Tc-99 和镓-67 在内的各种成像模式相结合,可用于诊断 NOE 以及随后监测疾病的进展或缓解情况。确诊为真菌性 NOE 的免疫力低下患者可能需要综合治疗,包括手术清创和长达数月(甚至终身)的抗真菌治疗。对于某些患者,启动经验性抗真菌治疗可能是合理的。不过,应根据具体情况进行判断,并与当地微生物学和传染病部门进行讨论。然而,对于这些患者的治疗,尤其是真菌 NOE 病例的治疗,目前还没有全国性的指南或共识。

Objectives: To review the literature on neo-vallecula diagnosis and management and to report our findings regarding 3 patients who developed neo-vallecula in the context of free-flap pharyngeal reconstruction following total laryngectomy.

Methods: This case series reports three patients who developed a neo-vallecula following a laryngectomy and free-flap pharyngeal reconstruction. All three patients were treated with a CO2 laser endoscopic procedure.

Results: Neo-vallecula formation is thought to be related to tension on the neopharyngeal closure or closure technique following total laryngectomy. Diagnosis may be obtained with swallow studies, videofluoroscopy, or endoscopy. Treatment has included external excision and endoscopic procedures such as stapling, harmonic scalpel excision, and laser removal. We utilized an endoscopic approach entailing the use of a CO2 laser to divide the neo-vallecula, and all our patients reported improvement in their dysphagia.

Conclusions: Treatment of an anterior neo-vallecula endoscopically using a CO2 laser is an effective way to treat dysphagia in patients following total laryngectomy with free-flap pharyngeal reconstruction.

目的:回顾有关新小静脉瘘的诊断和治疗的文献,并报告我们在全喉切除术后自由瓣咽重建术中发现的3例新小静脉瘘。方法:本病例系列报告了三例在喉切除术和自由瓣咽部重建后出现新小静脉瘘的患者。所有三例患者均接受CO2激光内窥镜治疗。结果:新小囊的形成被认为与全喉切除术后新咽闭合或闭合技术的张力有关。诊断可通过吞咽检查、透视或内窥镜检查获得。治疗包括外部切除和内窥镜手术,如吻合器、谐波手术刀切除和激光切除。我们采用内窥镜方法,使用CO2激光分离新瓣膜,所有患者都报告他们的吞咽困难得到改善。结论:CO2激光治疗新小静脉前路内镜下吞咽困难是治疗喉全切除术后自由瓣咽部重建术患者吞咽困难的有效方法。
