Comparison of Acoustic and Stroboscopic Findings and Voice Handicap Index between Allergic Rhinitis Patients and Controls.

Background: In our experience Allergic Rhinitis (AR) patients suffer from voice problems more than health subjects.

Aims: To investigate the acoustic analysis of voice, stroscopic findings of larynx and Voice Handicap Index scores in allergic rhinitis patients compared with healthy controls.

Study Design: Case-control study.

Skin problems following septorhinoplasty.

Objectives/hypothesis: Septorhinoplasty is one of the most commonly performed plastic surgery procedures in the world. Studies on septorhinoplasty in the literature mainly focus on the surgical procedures and their outcomes, but the general appearance of the nose and nasal skin following surgery is also very important.

Study Design: Case-control study examining 30 septorhinoplasty patients and 20 septoplasty patients for postoperative skin conditions.

A rare presentation of langerhans cell histiocytosis tonsil infiltration: review of the literature: atypical presentation of langerhans cell histiocytosis.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease that can infiltrate various organs. LCH presents with solitary organ involvement or as a multi-system disease. We present a patient who has tonsillary infiltration with LCH.

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo following septorhinoplasty.

We present 2 cases of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) following septorhinoplasty. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo following septorhinoplasty is an unusual entity. Two young women who had difficulty in breathing and nasal deformity underwent septorhinoplasty.

The Score For Allergic Rhinitis study in Turkey.

Background: The clinical definition of allergic rhinitis (AR) is difficult to use in epidemiological settings of large populations where it is impossible to obtain the laboratory evidence of each immune response. However, the standardization of the definition of AR in epidemiological studies is of crucial importance. This study was designed to estimate the prevalence of AR in an adult general population with respect to seven distinct geographical regions in Turkey.
