Eagle's syndrome, defined by Eagle in 1949, is characterised by morphological abnormality/ossification of the styloid process. Traditionally styloid process is approached after tonsillectomy or through an invasive external cervical approach. In the present study we propose a novel Paratonsillar approach for elongated styloid process in eagle's syndrome.

The present study was undertaken for the purpose of elucidating the specific features of the past medical history and the etiological factors responsible for the development of tonsillogenic pharyngeal abscesses in the children. We performed the retrospective analysis of the medical histories of 291 children presenting with this condition who had been admitted for the treatment to the ENT Department of the Morozovskzya City Children's Clinical Hospital during the period from January till December 2015. The study has demonstrated the following most common shortcomings of the outpatient treatment of the patients suffering from chronic tonsillitis at the stage preceding formation of paratonsillar abscess: inadequate antibacterial therapy of acute chronic tonsillitis or its exacerbation and limited indications for tonsillectomy at the level of the outpatient treatment.

The objective of the present work was to study syntopy of the large neck vessels in relation to the capsule of palatine tonsils with the use of the MRI technology. A total of 109 patients (218 palatine tonsils) presenting with chronic tonsillitis were available for the examination including 64 women and 45 men at the age varying from 15 to 54 years. All of them underwent MRI-guided vascular visualization in the paratonsillar region together with the measurements of the vessels extending to the capsule of the palatine tonsils at the level of the upper and lower poles, and also close to the mid-third of each palatine tonsil.

The objective of the present study was to undertake the statistical analysis of the methods employed to treat tonsillitis in the children with a view to optimizing adequate dispensary observation, planned conservative therapy and surgical treatment of the patients presenting with chronic tonsillitis. The analysis of the excerpts from the annual reports presented by the head of the otorhinolaryngological department of the Children's City Clinical Hospital No 9 involved the patients admitted for the pre-planned and urgent treatment of paratonsillar abscess between 1990 and 2010. It was shown that the number of children with paratonsillar abscess increased during this period from 5.

The analysis of statistical information concerning PT/PA prevalence revealed a tendency toward the increase of the number of emergency interventions for the treatment of PA that may be attributed to the reduction in the number of planned tonsillectomies as well as to the absence or inadequate organization of regular medical check-ups of the patients presenting with chronic tonsillitis. The structure of selected complications of PA is described with special reference to the prerequisites for the development of pyo-necrotic lesions in the soft tissues of the neck and tonsillogenic sepsis.
