[The use of fibrolaryngoscopy in muscle tension dysphonia in telemarketers].

Introduction: Muscle tension dysphonia (MTD) is a voice disorder in the absence of current organic laryngeal pathology, without obvious psychogenic or neurological aetiology. The laryngeal features of MTD include a posterior glottal gap and supraglottic hyperfunctional activities; however, it remains unclear if these features are specific to MTD. This report aims to compare the laryngeal features in telemarketer patients with MTD versus non-dysphonic control subjects.

[Intratympanic dexamethasone as therapeutic option in sudden sensorineural hearing loss].

Introduction And Objectives: The administration of systemic corticosteroids has demonstrated effectiveness on the treatment of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss. However, its systemic toxicity and subsequent difficulty for its justification in some patients have led to it being applied intratympanically. The main aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of intratympanic dexamethasone in these patients.
