[Acoustic neurinomes of childhood].

The article presents a review of the literature on the vestibular schwannoma of childhood, the features of its clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, methods of treating education and indications for their use.

[A case of diagnostics and surgical treatment of a patient with a neuroma of the facial nerve].

The article provides a brief overview of the epidemiology of facial nerve neuromas (FNN, schwannomas), its clinical signs, methods of diagnostic and treatment and indications for their use. A rare clinical case of diagnostics, surgical treatment of FNN with intracranial spread and its results are described in detail. The presented case demonstrates a possible low-symptom course of FNN with intracranial spread.

[The modern approach to the treatment of subglottic laryngeal stenosis].

Unlabelled: The objective of the present study was to optimize the treatment of patients with subglottic laryngeal stenosis.

Material And Methods: We have examined a total of 14 patients presenting with subglottic laryngeal stenosis. The etiological factors and underlying conditions of laryngeal stenosis were the prolonged intubation in 4 patients, Wegener granulomatosis in 6 patients, and idiopathic stenosis of the larynx in 4 patients.

[CFD-simulation of the air flows in the maxillary sinus].

This article summarizes the results of computer simulation of the air flows in the nasal cavity and the maxillary sinus by the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. The objective of the study was to apply the method of computational aerodynamics to simulate the air flows in the nasal cavity and the maxillary sinus under the normal conditions and after the surgical interventions on the middle nasal meatus. The normal air space of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses was simulated and the computer modeling of the main options for the surgical approach to the maxillary sinus through the middle nasal meatus was performed including balloon sinuplasty, functional endoscopic sinus surgery, and uncinate process mobilization.

[Combined prosopalgia with acute onset].

Complexity of facial anatomy and its rich innervation complicate the diagnosis of prosopalgias. An acute syndrome, including trigeminal, myofascial and cervical pains, is described. Authors discuss algesic interrelations, combined therapeuric effect and peculiarities of diagnosis.
