Synovial sarcoma in head and neck: a case report.

Introduction Synovial sarcoma is a malignant tumor of mesenchymal pluripotent cells. Objectives We present a case of synovial sarcoma in the posterolateral wall of the oropharynx.

Surgical treatment of non-embolized patients with nasoangiofibroma.

Unlabelled: Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is an uncommon tumor of the sphenopalatine foramen. Surgery combined with preoperative embolization has been the treatment of choice for JNA patients without intracranial invasion. This study aims to assess the viability of surgically treating non-embolized patients with JNA (types I-III according to Fisch).

Correlation between dizziness and impaired glucose metabolism.

Introduction: Impaired glucose metabolism is characterized by conditions of hypo and hyperglycemia.

Aim: The objective of the present study was to asses whether or not there is a relationship between impaired glucose metabolism and dizziness. In the clinical laboratory settings, patients were examined using vectoelectronystagmography in association with glycemic levels.

Laryngeal papillary carcinoma with unexpected evolution: case report.

Context: According to the literature, laryngeal papillary carcinoma is rare and has a benign prognosis.

Case Report: In this report we present a surprising case with nodal metastasis at the time of diagnosis. Computed tomography showed infiltration of the lesion and metastatic lymph nodes.

Clinical versus computed tomography evaluation in the diagnosis and management of deep neck infection.

Context: Deep neck infections have high potential for severe complications and even death, if not properly managed. The difference between clinical and computed tomography findings may demonstrate that clinical evaluation alone underestimates disease extent, which may lead to conservative treatment with worse prognosis.

Objective: To compare clinical and computed tomography findings from neck spaces affected by deep neck infections and to determine the main clinical and radiological features associated with these.
