[Glucocorticosteroids in the treatment of acute neurosensory hearing loss. The current state of the problem. Part 2].

Modern literature data are presented on the choice of a drug for hormonal therapy in acute neurosensory hearing loss of various origins, the doses used for systemic therapy, the features and methods of intratympanic administration of glucocorticosteroids, and the evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment with this group of drugs.

[Diagnosis and surgical outcomes in the management of petrous bone cholesteatoma].

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of surgical treatment of patients with petrous bone cholesteatoma (PBC) depending on the localization of the pathological process.

Material And Methods: The analysis of surgical treatment using various surgical approaches and its results in 32 patients with PBC, depending on the type, localization in petrous bone and intraoperative findings, is presented. Patients with supralabirint PBC underwent extended atticoantromastoidotomy with tympanoplasty and mastoidoplasty with automaterials (=19), labyrinthectomy (=4), subtotal petrozectomy with labyrinthectomy and suturing of the external auditory meatus (EAM) (=2).

[A case of hearing preservation during surgical treatment of distributed fistula labyrinth in a patient with chronic purulent means otitis and cholesteatoma].

The article provides a brief overview of the epidemiology, diagnosis, clinical manifestations and surgical methods of treatment of labyrinthine fistulas (LF) in patients with chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) with cholesteatoma. The efficacy of various LF treatment techniques, their complications, and the principles of prevention of cochleovestibular disorders during surgical treatment are described. The prognostic criteria for the deterioration of bone conduction thresholds during LF surgery, which include a large LF size, the opening of the membranous labyrinth, and the extent of damage to the structures of the inner ear, are presented.

[Corticosteroids for acute sensorineural hearing loss treatment. The contemporary state of problem. Literature review. Part 1].
