Effect of Anatomical Variations of Osteomeatal Complex on Chronic Rhinosinusitis: A Propective Study.

This is a prospective observational cross sectional study comprising of 57 patients who were having symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis which were evaluated with the help of computed tomography scan (Coronal and axial sections) to identify various anatomical variants of osteomeatal complex and to find their percentage and to find the pattern of sinus involvement in chronic rhinosinusitis patients. The most common anatomical variation was agger nasi which was present in 52 (91.23%) patients followed by abnormal uncinate process in 43 (75.

Changes in Maxillary Sinus Volume and It's Walls Thickness Due to Chronic Rhinosinusitis: A Prospective Study.

This is a prospective observational cross sectional study comprising of 57 patients who were having symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis which were evaluated with the help of computed tomography scan (coronal and axial sections) to measure the thickness of all walls of maxillary sinus and it's volume. Computed tomographic imaging of sinonasal region has become the gold standard in the evaluation of patients with chronic sinusitis. The maxillary sinus is pyramidal in shape with lateral wall of nose forming its base and its apex is directed towards zygomatic process.

Study of Endonasal Endoscopic Dacryo-cystorhinostomy with Special Reference to Mitomycin-C.

The aim of this study was to evaluate long-term results in patients with nasolacrimal duct obstruction treated with intranasal endoscopic dacryo-cystorhinostomy (DCR) with intraoperative topical application of mitomycin-C. The procedure was carried out in 34 subjects (41eyes). Patients with post-saccal stenosis were divided into two groups, 21 patients were treated with intranasal endoscopic dacryo-cystorhinostomy with intraoperative application of Mitomycin-C (MMC) and the other 20 cases underwent procedure only without Mitomycin-C.

Clinical Profile of Tubotympanic CSOM and Its Management With Special Reference to Site and Size of Tympanic Membrane Perforation, Eustachian Tube Function and Three Flap Tympanoplasty.

Otitis media is an important and a highly prevalent disease of the middle ear and poses serious health problem world wide especially in developing countries where large percentage of the population lack specialized medical care, suffer from malnutrition and live in poor hygienic environmental conditions. It has been a general view that the hearing loss increases with the size of the perforation, more so if it is in the posterio inferior quadrant. It was found that the maximum average loss occurred at 250 Hz.

Deep-neck space infections - a diagnostic dilemma!

Deep Neck Space Infections (DNI) are a potentially life threatening condition. This paper highlights the importance of their early diagnosis and early intervention. The deep-neck space infections may be odontogenic in origin.

Epley's canalith-repositioning manoeuvre for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

The efficacy of the Epley's canalith-repositioning manoeuvre in the treatment of BPPV was assessed in this prospective study of 62 patients. Patients were selected based on symptoms of positional vertigo and positive Dix-Hallpike's positional test. Patients were divided into two groups; first group comprising 34 patients underwent Epley's manoeuvre alone where as the other group comprising 28 patients underwent Epley's manoeuvre along with mastoid oscillator.

Clinical profile and serum beta-carotene levels in oral submucous fibrosis.

Clinical profile and serum beta-carotene levels in 100 cases of oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) were studied. Prevalence of OSMF was noted to be 0.93% of new cases attending ENT OPD Age of cases varied from 12 to 78 years (mean 29.

Predisposing factors and aetiology of Hoarseness of voice.

A study comprising 110 patients with hoarseness of voice was carried out between Jan 1998 and September 1999 to find out the predisposing factors and aetiology oj the condition Septic foci in nose and throat and vocal abuse were the common predisposing factors observed in 41 8% and 40 9% cases respectively Chronic non specific laryngitis was the commonest aetiology of hoarseness of voice seen in 43 6% of cases.
