Immense Tumor of Maxillary Sinus with Exophthalmos-A Rare Underlying Cause.

Sinus tumors are arduous to diagnose due to often prolonging asymptomatic course until the infiltration of the adjacent structures occurs. Therefore, patients are diagnosed with advanced-stage disease, which negatively affects the treatment outcomes. A 60-year-old male was referred to our ward from an outpatient clinic.

[Küttner's tumor (chronic sclerosing sialadenitis) - a rare cause of submandibular gland enlargement].

Küttner's tumor is a benign tumour-like lesion of the salivary glands. Predominantly affects the submandibular gland. It is also known as chronic sclerosing sialoadenitis or cirrhosis of submandibular gland.

[Magnetic resonance tractography in neuroradiological diagnostic aspects].

Diffusion tensor imaging is unique in its ability to non-invasively visualize white matter fiber tracts in the human brain in vivo. White matter fiber bundles of the human brain form a spatial defined by the anatomical and functional architecture. Determination of axonal pathways provides an invaluable means to study the connectivity of human brain and its functional network.

[A 20-year retrospective histoclinical analysis of parotid gland tumors in the ENT Department AM in Katowice].

Introduction: Salivary gland neoplasms represent the diverse group of tumours encountered by the head and neck surgeons.

Material And Methods: The study is analysis of 531 patients with parotid gland tumours in patients treated in ENT Department during 1986-2006. We analysed surgical treatment and intraoperative tumour stage.

[Long term results stape surgery].

For many years otosclerosis has been an interesting otologic problem in regard to pathological and clinical aspects. Many various conceptions of otosclerosis development which finally lead to the stapes immobility in the oval window were discussed. Resent genetic studies indicate that genetic factors as a cause of otosclerosis possibly in combination with other factors localize 3 genes responsible for otosclerosis to chromosom 15q25q-q26, 7q34-36, 6p21-22.
