Endoscopic Sinus Surgery for Chronic Rhino Sinusitis with Nasal Polyps: Predictive Factors of Recurrence.

Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is an inflammatory condition which may have a significant impact on quality of life. Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is usually indicated for patients' refractory to maximal medical treatment and presents high recurrence and revision surgery rates. The aims of this study are to evaluate ESS outcome in CRSwNP management and to assess independent predictive factors for recurrence.

Interest of computer tomography in the study of prognostic factors of otosclerosis.

Background: Otosclerosis is a primary osteodystrophy of the otic capsule that causes stapedo-vestibular ankylosis. Its diagnosis is suspected on the basis of clinical and audiometric elements, basically in the presence of conductive hearing loss with a normal eardrum. The CT-scan is an essential examination for the preoperative evaluation of otosclerosis.

[Thyroglossal duct cysts in adult : clinical and therapeutic features].

Unlabelled: Thyroglossal duct cysts (TDCs) are rare congenital cervical malformations in adults, which expose to two major risks: infection and malignant degeneration which remains the most dreaded complication in adults.

Aims Of The Study: This study aims to establish the clinical, management of TDC during adulthood, as well as the evolutionary aspects of these malformations in this age group.

Patients Et Methods: This is a retrospective study on 61 adults over 18 years old, undergoing TDC surgery in our department.

Management of jugular tympanic paraganglioma: a case report.

Paragangliomas could be localized from the skull base to the pelvic floor. Tympanic localization represents the most common benign tumor of the middle ear. Diagnosis is based on clinical signs with a great contribution of radiology.

Cartilage Graft in Myringoplasty: What Are the Factors Influencing Hearing Gain?

Background And Objectives: We present the anatomical and functional results on the use of cartilage in myringoplasty and use the data to analyze the factors influencing hearing gain.

Subjects And Methods: This retrospective study included 161 cases of cartilage myringoplasties collected over an 11-year period (2010-2020). Of the 161 cases, the etiology of the tympanic perforations was simple chronic otitis media in 154 (95.

Pleomorphic Adenoma of the Submandibular Gland in a 10-Year-Old Child: A Case Report.

We report the case of a 10-year-old girl with a painless slowly growing mass that had developed over the course of 2 years in the left submandibular area. Physical examination revealed a firm painless submandibular mass with no other associated signs. Ultrasound graphics were in favor of a sebaceous cyst.

[Therapeutic outcomes of nasopharyngeal carcinomas: a single-center study conducted at the Fattouma Bourguiba University Hospital in Monastir, Tunisia].

Introduction: nasopharyngeal carcinomas (NPCs) are relatively common in the Mediterranean basin. Survival has been greatly improved by new radiation techniques and new molecular-targeted chemotherapy. The purpose of our study was to analyze the therapeutic outcomes and to describe the prognostic factors of NPCs.

Pediatric naso-sinusal inverted papilloma: report of a case and literature review.

Inverted papilloma is a rare nasosinusal tumor that mainly occurs in adults during the 5 decade. The occurrence in children is exceptional and only few cases have been reported in the litterature. Clinical and radiological findings mimic other benign nasosinusal pathologies; therefore, diagnosis is based on histopathology either via biopsy or following surgical excision.

Castelman's disease of the neck: a case report and literature review.

Castleman's disease is a rare pathology, poorly understood. It is considered as a lymphoproliferative disorder, described for the first time in 1954, which may be confused with other causes of lymphadenopathy. We report in this paper the case of a young women presenting with left latero-cervical lymphadenopathy.

Development of a population pharmacokinetic model and Bayesian estimators for isoniazid in Tunisian tuberculosis patients.

This study aimed to develop a population pharmacokinetic model using full pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of isoniazid (INH) taking into account demographic and genetic covariates and to develop Bayesian estimators for predicting INH area under the curve (AUC) in Tunisian tuberculosis patients. The INH concentrations in the building data set were fitted using a one- to three-compartment model. The impact of the different covariates was assessed on the PK parameters of the best model.

Parapharyngeal metastasis from papillary thyroid microcarcinoma.

Carcinoma of the thyroid gland is one of the most commonly encountered endocrine malignancies. Papillary carcinoma is the most common histological type and its pattern of metastasis are usually lymphatic. Lymphatic metastasis to parapharyngeal space is rare and have been reported, so we report the case of a 50-year-old male patient who had an occult papillary carcinoma of the thyroid presented as right lateral node of the neck and a nodal involvement of the right parapharyngeal space.

The role of imaging in the management of sinonasal mucoceles.

Mucoceles are slow-growing paranasal sinus cystic masses whose clinical presentation varies according to the affected sinus. Diagnosis is often radiological, based essentially on CT scan. The aim of this work was to study the radiologic characteristics of mucoceles on CT scan and MRI.

[Parathyroid carcinoma: about a case and review of the literature].

Parathyroid carcinoma is a very rare malignant tumor of the parathyroid gland. Clinically, this cancer is characterized by the presence of severe primary hyperparathyroidism. Diagnosis is based on histological examination but is not always easy.

Imaging of complicated frontal sinusitis.

Complications occur in 3% of the cases of frontal sinusitis. These are mainly oculo-orbital, intracranial and osteomyelitis. Our aim is to describe the contribution of different imaging modalities in the diagnosis of these complications and their post-treatment monitoring.
