Nasopharyngeal myeloid sarcoma as a manifestation of acute monomyelocytic leukaemia.

This case report describes the case of a man in his seventies presenting with a nasopharyngeal deposit of myeloid sarcoma associated with acute monomyelocytic leukaemia. He presented with right nasal obstruction associated with unilateral pulsatile tinnitus. CT and MRI scans of sinuses identified a moderately restricting mucosal swelling of the right torus tubarius, and a biopsy of the lesion diagnosed a nasal deposit of myeloid sarcoma.

Comparison of intranasal medication delivery devices before and after functional endoscopic sinus surgery using Phacon sinus surgery models.

Objective: Functional endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis improves sinus drainage and intranasal medication delivery. This study compares medication delivery with commonly used devices in normal and altered anatomy (post functional endoscopic sinus surgery) using sinus surgery models (Phacon).

Methods: Medication delivery was simulated via nasal drops, nasal spray and an irrigation device (Neilmed Sinus Rinse).

Frontal sinus stenting in endoscopic sinus surgery: the 10-year Oxford experience.

Background: Frontal sinus stents have been introduced to reduce frontal sinus re-stenosis after surgery and to improve outcomes.

Method: This study was a retrospective analysis of 19 patients who had endoscopic sinus surgery with approach to the frontal sinus and insertion of a soft sinus stent.

Results: The frontal recess was patent in 78.

The role of telephone clinics in ENT.

Objective: This quality improvement project assessed the outcomes of telephone consultations for ENT patients in order to identify areas where telephone consultations may be useful in the long term.

Method: New ENT patient appointments in May 2019 and May 2020 were reviewed. Total outcomes as well as subspecialty-specific and presentation-specific outcomes were compared for telephone versus face-to-face consultations.
