Fibreoptic Laryngoscopic Assessment of Patients with Hoarseness: A Cross-sectional Analysis.

Background: Hoarseness is a common clinical manifestation of laryngeal diseases. The cause of hoarseness may not always be a simple inflammatory disease, but it can be from other serious life-threatening conditions such as laryngeal cancer, for which a delay in diagnosis of such condition may compromise treatment, resulting in poor prognosis and a decreased survival rate. Against this background, we evaluated the causes of hoarseness using fibreoptic laryngoscopy in our environment.

Adenoid and Tonsil Hypertrophy in Zaria, North Western Nigeria: Review of Clinical Presentation and Surgical Outcome.

Background: Adenotonsillar hypertrophy is one of the most common childhood disorder that necessitates presentation to the ear nose and throat specialist. The disorder may be managed conservatively or by surgery.

Aim: To highlight the clinical presentation and surgical treatment outcome of patients managed for adenoid and tonsillar hypertrophy at Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital Zaria, Nigeria.

Advance oropharyngeal mucoepidermoid carcinoma in a 9-year-old boy: A case report and review of literature.

Primary malignant salivary gland tumours are uncommon among the paediatric population, accounting for <10% of all head-and-neck tumours in childhood. Less than 5% of all salivary gland cancers occur during childhood, most of them are diagnosed over the age of 10 years and are histologically low or intermediate grade. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) occurring in the oropharynx of children and arising from the posterior pharyngeal wall is rare and probably never reported.

Clinical profile and treatment outcome of laryngeal cancer in a Nigerian Tertiary hospital.

Background: Laryngeal cancer is one of the most common malignancies of the upper aerodigestive tract worldwide, and its management may sometimes be challenging, especially in developing countries due to late presentation, poverty and limited resources.

Aim: This study aims to highlight the clinical profile and treatment outcome of laryngeal cancer in our centre.

Patients And Methods: This was a retrospective review of patients who were managed for laryngeal cancer between January 2011 and December 2020.

An Audit of Surgical Neck Explorations for Penetrating Neck Injuries in Northwestern Nigeria: Experience from a Teaching Hospital.

Background: Penetrating neck injury is a major trauma mechanism present in about 5%-10% of trauma patients with an estimated mortality of 3%-10%. The management of these injuries is dependent on the anatomical level of injury.

Objectives: The objective of the study was to document the clinical and operative findings as well as the treatment outcome among our patients who underwent neck exploration for penetrating neck injuries.

An audit of parotid gland surgeries in Kano, Nigeria: A review of 34 cases.

Background: Neoplasms both benign and malignant are the most common indications for parotidectomy. About 70%-80% of all salivary gland tumours are located in the parotid gland with up to 80% being benign. Parotidectomy is a common surgical procedure performed by the otorhinolaryngologist and oral and maxillofacial surgeons.

Clinicopathologic profile of sinonasal neoplasia in Kano, Northwestern Nigeria: A 10-year single-institution experience.

Background: Sinonasal neoplasia comprises approximately 3% of all head-and-neck tumors. However, the incidence of these tumors may be greater in some parts of the world including Asia and Africa.

Aim And Objective: The study aimed to review the clinical and histopathological pattern of sinonasal neoplasms in Kano, Nigeria.

Unilateral Sinonasal Masses: Review of Clinical Presentation and Outcome in Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Zaria, Nigeria.

Background: Unilateral persistent nasal obstruction may indicate the presence of sinonasal lesion, which could be inflammatory or neoplastic. It is a common practice to assume that unilateral nasal mass in adults is either inverted papilloma or a malignant lesion.

Objectives: The objective is to study the pattern of clinical presentation and outcome of treatment of patients managed for unilateral nasal masses at Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Zaria.

Encapsulated Sinonasal Schwannoma Mimicking an Antrochoanal Polyp.

Extracranial schwannomas are uncommon neoplasms of the sinonasal tract arising from peripheral nerve shealth. Mostly acapsulated on histology, but few cases of encapsulated schwannomas have been reported. Its symptoms are nonspecific and initial clinical diagnosis is frequently missed.
