Lobular Capillary Hemangioma of the External Jugular Vein: A Rare Case Report.

Introduction: Hemangiomas are benign tumors that are very common in the head and neck region. However, intravascular hemangiomas are very rare. Hemangiomas are classified as capillary, cavernous or mixed tumors according to the proliferating cells.

Giant Thyroid Fibrosarcoma- A Case Report.

Introduction: Thyroid gland fibrosarcomas are extremely rare tumors, and only very few cases have been described in the literature. There are no set recommendations along with follow-ups regarding the treatment of these tumors. Moreover, the prognosis is poor with a very short life expectancy.

Salvage total laryngectomy: is a flap necessary?

Introduction: Pharyngocutaneous fistula is the most significant complication after salvage total laryngectomy in patients who have received previous treatment with radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy.

Objective: Our purpose is to review the fistula rate in radiated patients undergoing salvage total laryngectomy, to determine if the use of pectoralis major flap interposition reduces the incidence and duration of fistula and to examine other risk factors.

Methods: We made a retrospective review of patients undergoing salvage total laryngectomy for exclusively larynx cancer after failure of primary curative radiotherapy between 2000 and 2017.

The Human Laryngeal Innervation Revisited-The Role of the Neural Connections.

In spite that vascular inconvenients or immunological rejections have been solved in relation with larynx transplant, a successful functional reinnervation has not been achieved. Some studies have suggested that laryngeal nerve connection may contain motor fibers, which could explain unexpected evoked responses in electromyographic studies or the different positions adopted of the vocal folds after similar nerve lesions. Ten patients with unexpected evoked responses after laryngeal nerve stimulation were selected.

Practical management of periprosthetic leakage in patients rehabilitated with a Provox® 2 voice prosthesis after total laryngectomy.

Introduction And Objectives: Periprosthetic leakage of liquids is a common complication in patients rehabilitated with voice prostheses. Our objective was to describe and review the results of procedures for treating periprosthetic leakage.

Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 41 patients rehabilitated with Provox® 2 voice prostheses between 1997 and 2015.

Head and neck paragangliomas: Experience in 126 patients with 162 tumours.

Introduction: Head and neck paragangliomas are rare tumours of a neuroendocrine nature. The aim of this study was to show our experience in the management of these kind of tumours.

Methods: This was a retrospective study of head and neck paragangliomas diagnosed between 1978 and 2014.

Functional role of human laryngeal nerve connections.

Objectives/hypothesis: Current knowledge of the functional role of human laryngeal nerves is based on traditional laryngeal neuroanatomic descriptions or contradictory electromyographic studies. The aim of this study was to clarify the functional role of neural connections between laryngeal nerves by correlating the different electromyographic patterns observed after laryngeal stimulation and the existence of different neural connections.

Study Design: Descriptive.
