Carotid Body Tumor - radiological imaging and genetic assessment.

Carotid Body Tumor i.e. Paraganglioma is a challenging entity from the point of multidisciplinary diagnosis.

Estimation of the ethmoid roof depth and length of lateral lamella of the cribriform plate, upper attachment of the uncinate process and anterior ethmoid artery in multiplanar reconstructions of Computed Tomography.

Unlabelled: The aim is to assess the relationship of Anterior Ethmoid Artery with the Upper Attachment of the Uncinate Process and their relation with the Lateral Lamella of the Cribriform Plate in multiplanar reconstructions (i.e. coronal, axial and sagittal) of Computed Tomography.

Perceptual and acoustic voice analysis in patients with glottis cancer after endoscopic laser cordectomy.

<b>Introduction:</b> Treatment of glottis cancer, despite oncological safety, should consider postoperative voice quality. CO₂ laser endoscopic cordectomy allows radical removal of the tumor while maintaining respiratory, defensive and phonatory functions. <br><b>The aim:</b> The aim of the study is perceptual and acoustic evaluation of voice in patients after endoscopic CO2 III-Va laser cordectomy due to glottis cancer.

Preoperative assessment of the risk of cavernous ICA injury in endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery.

In endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal procedures, ICA injury occurs in up to 3.8% [1]. The highest hazard of injury is in case of contact between the ICA and pituitary gland, during opening of the dura.

Phonatory compensation in patients with larynx cancer after CO2 laser cordectomy.

Introduction: CO2 laser endoscopic cordectomy is the method of laryngeal cancer treatment. The type of cordectomy (I-VI) depends on the extent of the tumor. Endoscopic laser surgery provides more satisfactory phonation conditions in comparison to open surgical procedures.

Impact of the anatomy of laryngeal nerves on intraoperative neuromonitoring results in surgery of thyroid gland and functional results after partial laryngectomies.

The aim of this work was to describe, interpret and highlight the impact of neuroanatomy in the region of the larynx on intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) during thyroidectomy. A rich network of anastomoses of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) and superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) may have impact on the results of thyroidectomy and partial laryngectomy. Intraoperative neuromonitoring is a useful tool in the armamentarium of a head and neck surgeon but it will never replace profound knowledge of surgical anatomy and good surgical technique.

[Phonosurgical methods of treatment in unilateral vocal folds paralysis].

Glottal insufficiency (GI) is a cause of breathy voice that can profoundly affect quality of voice. Main causes are unilateral vocal fold paralysis or endoscopic cordectomy for the early treatment of laryngeal cancer of the glottis. The main strategy in surgical treatment is type I medialization thyroplasty according to Isshiki with the use of implants e.

[Phonosurgery treatment options in male to female and female to male transsexuals.].

The voice is an important part of human identity. The voice is susceptible to impact of hormons mainly sexual hormons. The larynx is one of secondary sex characacteristics.

[Analysis of phonosurgical methods of treatment in spasmodic dysphonia].

Spasmodic dysphonia (SD) is rather a rare voice disorder. It is most often seen in woman aged 40-50. The disease is caused by deep emotional and neurological disorders of extrapyramidal system.

[Effects of electrostimulation therapy in selected cases of vocal fold paralysis].

Unlabelled: Paralytic dysphonia is the most serious neurogenic pathology of voice quality. An important issue is to identify methods which support routine treatment.

Aim: The aim of the study is to assess voice quality after electrostimulation (ES) therapy in patients with paralytic dysphonia.
