[Sleep apnea syndrome. Evaluation following uvulopalatopharyngoplasty].

20 cases of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty performed on patients suffering from sleep apnea syndrome have been studied with a pre- and post-operative polysomnographic recording. Eleven patients (55%) responded to this therapy and showed a significative decrease of their post-operative apnea-hypopnea index. An increase of the mean oxygen saturation was noticed during sleep.

[Functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Evaluation methods and results].

Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is now undoubtedly the choice procedure for the surgical treatment of chronic sinusitis and nasal polyposis after failure of medical treatment. Between January 1990 and December 1992, 51 patients with chronic sinusitis and 44 with nasal polyposis who underwent FESS were evaluated (170 ethmoidectomies). Preoperative evaluation is obtained through personal scaling combined with a CT of the sinuses, whereas postoperative assessment is based on the same scoring together with an endoscopic evaluation.

[Neurinoma of the VIIIth cranial nerve with negative electrophysiological findings].

Electrophysiological features in acoustic neurinoma are reviewed. A case of an acoustic neurinoma with a normal BERA is reported. The authors conclude that no isolated electrophysiological sign is able to disclose a retrocochlear hearing loss.

[Spontaneous oto-acoustic potentials. Results in normal-hearing subjects].

36 normal hearing subjects were tested for spontaneous oto-acoustic emissions. The data obtained are presented and discussed.
