Deep neck infections mortal complications: Intrathoracic complications and necrotising fasciitis.

Background: We planned this study considering that complications of deep neck infections can be seriously life threatening.

Aim: To raise awareness that introthoracic complications and necrotizing fasciitis are causes of serious mortality and morbidity.

Methods: This study was carried out with the participation of 188 patients who were treated at Mersin University Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery at January 1, 2024.

Morphometric properties of the fallopian canal: comparison of two nations with different ethnic origins.

Purpose: To determine the widths of fallopian canal segments (labyrinthine segment, geniculate ganglion, tympanic segment mastoid segment and stylomastoid foramen), in two nations with different ethnic origins, and to analyze the differences in between.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed temporal computerized tomographies of 102 individuals including 38 Turks and 64 Syrians. The widths of right and left labyrinthine (LS), tympanic (TS), mastoid (MS), geniculate ganglion (GG) and stylomastoid foramen (SF) segments of the fallopian canal were measured.
