Association of Chronic Subjective Tinnitus with Neuro- Cognitive Performance.

Introduction: Chronic subjective tinnitus is associated with cognitive disruptions affecting perception, thinking, language, reasoning, problem solving, memory, visual tasks (reading) and attention.

Objective: To evaluate existence of any association between tinnitus parameters and neuropsychological performance to explain cognitive processing.

Materials And Methods: Study design was prospective, consisting 25 patients with idiopathic chronic subjective tinnitus and gave informed consent before planning their treatment.

BOLD fMRI and DTI in strabismic amblyopes following occlusion therapy.

Evaluation of brain cluster activation using the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was sought in strabismic amblyopes. In this hospital-based case-control cross-sectional study, fMRI and DTI were conducted in strabismic amblyopes before initiation of any therapy and after visual recovery following the administration of occlusion therapy. FMRI was performed in 10 strabismic amblyopic subjects (baseline group) and in 5 left strabismic amblyopic children post-occlusion therapy after two-line visual improvement.

Correlation of tinnitus loudness and onset duration with audiological profile indicating variation in prognosis.

Purpose. Subjective tinnitus has different forms and degrees of severity. Many studies in the literature have assessed psychoacoustic characteristics of tinnitus but hardly any of them had focused on the association of audiological profile with onset duration and loudness perception.

Non-inherited manifestation of bilateral branchial fistulae, bilateral pre-auricular sinuses and bilateral hearing loss: A variant of branchio-oto-renal syndrome.

A rare manifestation of branchio-oto-renal like syndrome as an isolated finding with normal chromosomal analysis in a 6 year old child with bilateral branchial simises, bilateral pre-auricular simuses, bilateral auricular malformation, and bilateral hearing loss is presented here.

Nasal encephalocoele -an atypical case.

Nasal encephalocoele present at birth as a characteristic swelling over the nose and widening of intracanthal distance. Atypical nasal encephalocoeles are usually missed at birth due to absence of any external swelling and they present with diagnostic difficulties. These are very rare and present with only an intranasal mass.

Fibrous variant of rhinophyma.

Rhinophyma is a rare disease which causes disfiguring soft tissue hypertrophy of the nose. The fibrous variant of rhinophyma is still rare which mimics fibrous papule of nose and lupus pernio. We report an unusual fibrous variant which was surgically managed with the good results.

Nasal septal perforation in a patient with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and rhinitis on long term corticosteroids.

A 22-year-old male, referred to us as a case of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis was diagnosed as allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) after serological and computed tomography confirmation. He was initiated on oral as well as inhaled corticosteroids along with nasal corticosteroid spray for his nasal complaints. One year subsequently, he developed a nasal septal perforation.

Intramuscular haemangioma of head and neck region.

Intramuscular haemangiomas are rare benign haemangiomas occurring within the skeletal muscle. These are uncommon tumours in the head and neck region and occur most frequently on the trunk and extremities. Fewer than 80 cases of intra-muscular haemangioma in the head and neck region have been reported in the literature.
