"The Accessory Ethmoidal Canal Does Not Necessarily Contain an Arterial Structure".

The aim of our study is to describe the prevalence of the accessory ethmoidal artery in endonasal endoscopic cadaver dissections and to identify its intraorbital origin. : From 2018 to 2020, thirty-four nasal dissections were performed in seventeen adult cadaveric heads. We performed a complete ethmoidectomy to identify the ethmoidal canals.

Description and relationships of the parotid gland levels proposed by the European Salivary Gland Society staging system: an anatomical study.

Objectives: To perform an anatomical study to analyze the size, weight, and the relationships of the parotid levels proposed by the European Salivary Gland Society (ESGS).

Materials And Methods: Anatomical dissections of the parotid region in 19 human specimens were performed. All dissections were systematically carried out to study the dimensions and weight of each level.

Endoscopic medial maxillectomy with preservation of inferior turbinate: how do we do it?

The aim of this study was to describe the endoscopic medial maxillectomy technique with preservation of the inferior turbinate in patients affected by maxillary sinonasal inverted papilloma. We retrospectively reviewed the clinical charts and surgical technique in six patients with paranasal sinus inverted papilloma. There were five males and one female, whose mean age at diagnosis was 60 years ranging between 57 and 65 years.

Sudden myositis of the posterior cervical muscular compartment. Case report.

An atypical case of deep neck infection is presented with muscular involvement as the main feature. Streptococcus pyogenes was the causal agent and abrupt haemodynamic impairment and severe systemic failure characterized its clinical course, requiring emergency surgical examination and subsequent admission to the critical care unit. After the diagnosis of streptococcal myositis was obtained and the antibiotic treatment adjusted, the patient progressively recovered completely.

[Combined endoscopic treatment for Zenker's diverticulum versus open approach; review of our experience].

Introduction: Zenker's diverticulum is a superior esophagus sphincter disease with a surgical management in symptomatic cases. This treatment has undergone important changes in recent years.

Material And Method: A retrospective review was carried out of 16 patients treated in our department between 2001 and 2008.

[Neurocognitive and behavioural abnormalities in paediatric sleep-related breathing disorders].

Introduction: Behavioural and neurocognitive abnormalities in children may be a consequence of sleep-related breathing disorders. The effectiveness of assessments based on questioning parents is dubious and objective assessment tools are therefore required.

Aim: To ascertain the impact of these abnormalities in children with sleep-related breathing disorders and compare the reliability of questioning parents in relation to validated psychological tests.

[Pectoralis major flaps. Evolution of their use in the age of microvascularized flaps].

Introduction: Oncological head and neck surgery has progressed with the possibility of adapting reconstruction to the surgery effected. In the last 30 years, two basic techniques have been developed: the pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps (PMMF) and microvascularized flaps. PMMF had a leading role in reconstruction surgery during the 1980s, but this has subsequently diminished in favour of microvascularized flaps.

[Unilateral benign choanal polyp: review of 51 patients].

Introduction: Choanal polyps are a benign pathology arising in the sinusal mucosa and entering the nasal fossa heading for the choana. It is a unilateral condition mainly affecting young people. It must be surgically removed, with exeresis of both the nasal and the sinusal lesions.
