A Thyroglossal Cyst With Double Duct Seen in an Adult Patient.

Thyroglossal duct cysts (TDCs) are one of the most common congenital cervical masses that develop in children. Double TDCs are reported in very few patients in the literature. However, the authors did not come across any thyroglossal cyst with double duct in the English literature.

The Frequency of Epileptiform Discharges in Celiac Disease.

Background: We studied patients with celiac disease to define the frequency of epileptiform discharges on electroencephalography.

Methods: A total of 307 children with a diagnosis of celiac disease (study group) and 197 age- and sex-matched healthy children as controls (control group) were included in this study. The study group was further divided into newly diagnosed celiac disease patients (n = 216) and patients who were on a gluten-free diet (n = 91) for at least 6 months.

The comparison of histological results of experimentally created facial nerve defects repaired by 2 different anastomosis techniques: classic suture technique or tissue adhesives for nerve anastomosis?

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the histological regeneration characteristics of nerve fibers at the anastomosis lines performed by classic suture technique or a tissue adhesive (N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate).

Methods: The control group consisted of 7 rabbits. The 21 rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups based on the harvesting week.

A rare sinonasal neoplasm: fibrosarcoma.

Sinonasal fibrosarcoma is an infrequently occurring malignant neoplasm. It usually presents with nasal obstruction and epistaxis, as do other sarcomas in this region. The final diagnosis is based on the histopathologic and immunohistochemical examination.

Association of inferior turbinate enlargement, concha bullosa and nasal valve collapse with the convexity of septal deviation.

Conclusion: Inferior turbinate enlargement (ITE), nasal valve collapse (NVC) and concha bullosa (CB) are nasal anatomic problems that may accompany septal deviation (SD). Establishment of a causal relationship between these variations and SD is doubtful. In patients complaining of nasal obstruction, all nasal structures that may contribute to the symptom must be separately and carefully assessed for setting an appropriate treatment plan and thereby minimizing the failure rate of surgery.
