Published: February 2013

Objective: To study the early diagnosis, treatment and Prognosis of pyriform sinus perforation.

Methods: To study the clinical feature about 15 cases of pyriform sinus perforation, Most of the 15 cases with pyriform sinus perforation were associated with pharyngeal pain or fever. contrast x-ray studies and CT scan were used to confirm the perforation. conservative treatment in 9 cases and surgical intervention in 6 cases. and review relevant literature.

Results: Of all 15 cases, 9 cases with wild symptoms for conservative treatment, 6 cases with severe symptoms and complications were treated surgically. All achieved better clinical efficacy, By relevant examination, the perforation were healed within 2 - 4 weeks and none had re-perforation for 1 - 30 months follow-up.

Conclusions: Pyriform sinus perforation with wild symptoms and within 12 hours can be treated conservatively. Large perforation (> 2 cm) last more than 12 hours or any complications require exploration, operation repair if possible and adequate drainage. early diagnosis and effective treatment can reduce the incidence of complications and improve the survival rate of patients.

Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, Section of Pediatrics and Child Neuropsychiatry, Hospital "Policlinico G. Rodolico", Catania, Italy. Electronic address:

Acute suppurative thyroiditis (AST), a rare yet potentially life-threatening infection, comprises less than 1 % of neck pathologies and requires prompt treatment. Symptoms range from neck pain and fever to dysphagia and possible abscess formation. Broad-spectrum antibiotics are the primary treatment; however, surgical drainage may be necessary for abscesses to prevent systemic infection.

Application of pedicled supraclavicular flaps in hypopharyngectomy with preservation of laryngeal function.

BMC Surg

December 2024

Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, The Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University, No.25, Taiping Street, Jiangyang District, Luzhou, 646000, China.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of pedicled supraclavicular flaps in hypopharyngectomy reconstruction, with a focus on preserving laryngeal function.

Methods: From August 2019 to June 2022, 14 patients with primary hypopharyngeal carcinoma who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and underwent the repair of hypopharyngeal defects using pedicled supraclavicular flaps were included retrospectively. Relevant clinical evaluation indicators include patient characteristics, defect sizes, flap sizes, flap harvesting time, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications, recurrence, and survival outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how the examination of cranial nerves (CN) can help analyze swallowing efficiency by assessing facial-oral integrity in patients with neurogenic dysphagia.
  • A total of 96 dysphagic patients were evaluated through the Yale Pharyngeal Residue Severity Rating Scale and the Penetration-Aspiration Scale during a Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing.
  • Results showed that specific CN impairments could predict different types of pharyngeal residue, aiding clinicians in understanding swallowing issues and planning targeted interventions effectively.
