Sinonasal and Laryngeal Presentations of Pituitary Adenoma.

Pituitary adenomas, the second most common intracranial pathology, often exhibit symptoms beyond the classic triad of headache, visual disturbances, and hormonal imbalances. Unusual presentations involve sinonasal pathology, cranial nerve involvement, and mass effects on adjacent structures like the skull base. Secretory adenomas may manifest hormonal changes and their effects.

Impact of Cisplatin on Hearing: Analysis Using PTA, High-Frequency Audiometry, DPOAE, and Speech-in-Noise Test.

Objective: To assess hearing loss in patients with cancer receiving cisplatin-based chemotherapy using high-frequency pure tone average (HFPTA), distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs), and the speech-in-noise (SPIN) test, and to identify associated factors.

Study Design: Prospective study.

Setting: Tertiary care hospital.

Distant metastasis at the time of presentation of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: a retrospective chart review from a tertiary cancer care centre.

Objective: To evaluate the rates and patterns of distant metastasis in head and neck SCC at the time of presentation and to study the association between distant metastasis with pre-treatment, clinical, and pathological predictors of outcomes.

Method: This is a retrospective study conducted in a tertiary care hospital. All patients with primary head and neck squamous cell carcinoma that had been evaluated at our institute between October 2018 and December 2020 were included in the study.
