Objective: This study aimed to investigate that complicated mucoceles of paranasal sinuses and their clinical presentation, complications of relations with size, destructions areas, extension limits in affected patients.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective review was performed on patients who were diagnosed and treated as paranasal sinus mucoceles at ENT department from 2002 to 2013 years. Patients' demographic data, mucoceles location, symptoms, surgical approach and complications were evaluated.

A New Mystery: Phantosmia after COVID-19 Infection.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has developed as a pandemic and has caused millions of deaths worldwide. Multiple studies have implicated anosmia and ageusia as symptoms associated with COVID-19. In this case report we present the cases who suffer from phantosmia after COVID-19 infection.

A Rare Paranasal Sinus Abnormality: Maxillary Sinus Hypoplasia.

Maxillary sinus hypoplasia is a rare condition. The majority of patients are asymptomatic but in some cases, they suffer from headaches and facial pain. Awareness of this condition is important because of misdiagnosis and possible complications during endoscopic sinus surgery.

A Rare Complication of Tonsillectomy: Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia.

Tonsillectomy is one of the most frequently performed surgical operations in otolaryngology clinics. While postoperative pain is frequently encountered, severe pain such as glossopharyngeal neuralgia is extremely rare.

Frontal Mucocele Extended Orbita and Endoscopic Marsupialization Technique.

Mucocele is benign, slow-growing, mucous-filled cystic lesions that arise in the paranasal sinuses. It causes progressive distension of the bony walls and induces compressive symptoms. Surgical treatment of paranasal sinus mucoceles includes endoscopic approach or external approach.

An Unusual Location of Osteochondroma: Temporal Bone.

Osteochondromas are the most common benign tumor of the bones which are cartilage-capped exophytic lesions that arises from the bone cortex. They usually seen in the axial skeleton, especially around the metaphysis of long bone but seldom in the head and neck region. The majority of patients in the head and neck region affect the mandibular area.

Comparison of Cold Technique Tonsillectomy and Thermal Welding Tonsillectomy at Different Age Groups.

The aim of this study is to compare objectively advantages and disadvantages of cold technique tonsillectomy and thermal welding tonsillectomy at the same case. A total of 100 patients, 53 patients younger than 12 years of age and 47 patients elder than 12 years of age, were included in this study. Tonsillectomy was performed by using cold technique on the right side of the palatine tonsils and thermal welding on the left side.

Oxytocin as a protective agent in cisplatin-induced ototoxicity.

Purpose: Cisplatin is a potent chemotherapeutic drug with serious side effects such as ototoxicity which is characterized by irreversible, bilateral, progressive sensorineural hearing loss. Oxytocin, which is a well-known hormone secreting during pregnancy, has antioxidant and antiinflammatory effect. Our study aims to test and compare the effect of intratympanic (IT) and intraperitoneal (IP) oxytocin on cisplatin ototoxicity with DPOAE.

Relationship between smoking and otorhinolaryngological symptoms.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the possible relationship between smoking and otorhinolaryngological symptoms in smokers, non-smokers and ex-smokers.

Patients And Methods: Between March 01st, 2014 and March 31st, 2014, a total of 1,840 patients (823 males, 1,017 females) over 25 years of age who were admitted to the ear nose, and throat (ENT) outpatient clinic were included in the study. The patients who were smoking at least 10 cigarettes daily for at least five years were included in the smokers group (n=514).

Is There a Relationship Between Bell's Palsy and Internal Auditory Canal?

In the present study, we evaluated the diameter of internal acoustic canal in patients with Bells palsy to investigate the role of anatomical differences of the temporal bone in etiology of Bell's palsy. Sixty-four patients who were diagnosed as Bells Palsy and temporal bone computed tomography imagings of them were included into the study group (Group 1). The control group (Group 2) was consisted of 35 healthy subjects without Bell's Palsy.

The Evaluation of Relationship Between Body Mass Index and Nasal Geometry Using Objective and Subjective Methods.

Introduction: It is known that obesity causes obstructive sleep apnea syndrome by increasing upper airway resistance. Also, obese patients are admitted to the ear, nose, and throat clinic very often because of nasal obstruction complaint. The aim of this study is to identify the change and relation among body mass index (BMI), nasal resistance, reduction in nasal ariflow, nasal anatomy, and patients' subjective complaints.

Evaluation of the Effect of Betahistine on Noise-Induced Hearing Loss Using Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emission and Scanning Electron Microscopy.

Objective: To evaluate the protective effect of betahistine on noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE).

Materials And Methods: A total of 8 adult albino guinea pigs were used in this study (study group: n=4 and control group: n=4). DPOAE measurements of both groups were performed before the procedure.

Metastasis of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer into the thyroid gland: a literature review accompanied by a rare case.

Bladder cancer is the most prevalent malignancy of the urinary tract. About 90% of bladder cancers are urothelial carcinomas. Seventy percent of cases newly diagnosed are superficial diseases; roughly 30% of newly diagnosed cases are muscle-invasive metastatic diseases.

Extramedullary plasmacytoma of maxillary sinus.

Solitary extramedullary plasmacytomas are rare tumors that often affect the head and neck region. Diagnosis of solitary extramedullary plasmocytoma can be confirmed only when the presence of systemic disease is excluded by performing clinical, biological, and radiological investigations. Radiotherapy is considered the treatment of choice, surgery being limited to biopsy and to excision of residual disease.

Fibromyxoma of the frontal sinus.

Fibromyxomas are uncommonly encountered pathologies in the head and neck region. They are slow growing, which result in expansion of the surrounding bony cortices. In this article, we report an extremely rare case of frontal sinus fibromyxoma which occluded the frontal sinus and expanded anterior ethmoid cells and nasal dorsum.

Huge internal carotid artery aneurysm presenting as tonsillar asymmetry.

Aneurysms of the extracranial portion of the carotid artery are extremely rare. Internal carotid artery aneurysm is an uncommon cause of tonsillary asymmetry. Although internal carotid artery aneurysms usually remain asymptomatic, the clinical manifestation requires the tonsillar enlargement.

Objectives: In this study preoperative examination, computed tomography and the peroperative macroscopic examination of the specimen were compared in the determination of anterior commissural involvement in laryngeal cancer.

Patients And Methods: Twenty-two male patients (mean age 59.6 ± 9.
