Nasal encephaloceles (meningoceles or meningoencephaloceles) are rare and not reported to be infected or coupled with a facial deformity in dogs. This report describes an older dog with acute worsening of seizures due to suppurative meningoencephalitis with coexisting suppurative rhinitis and infection of a meningoencephalocele. Additionally, the dog had a facial deformity for at least 5 years. The results of necropsy, computed tomography, and postmortem magnetic resonance imaging are compared. The development of nasal encephaloceles is discussed, including the potential role of early trauma, and whether separation of neural ectoderm from the surface ectoderm is part of the pathogenesis.

Rhinitis caseosa, also known as nasal cholesteatoma, is an uncommon disorder marked by the growth of caseous masses of material in the nose and, rarely, the maxillary antrum. This disease can be caused by tuberculosis, syphilis, erysipelas, Strepthrix alba infection, polyp degeneration, or suppuration due to protracted blockage. Patients mostly present with complaints of nasal obstruction with foul-smelling nasal discharge and can mimic features of sinonasal malignancy or fungal rhinosinusitis.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOtitis media and allergic rhinitis are prevalent conditions. Some data posit a significant association between the 2 ailments, proposing mechanisms such as allergic rhinitis-induced Eustachian tube dysfunction or concurrent allergic pathophysiology affecting both the nasal and aural cavities. Observational studies hint at an association between allergic rhinitis (AR) and nonsuppurative otitis media, yet definitive causality remains elusive.

Article Synopsis
- HIV/AIDS is a significant global health issue, and it has been linked to various ear, nose, and throat (otorhinolaryngological) issues, though these problems have decreased with the use of antiretroviral therapy.
- A study in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, involving 380 participants, found that only 5.8% experienced otorhinolaryngological manifestations, with males and younger age groups being more commonly affected.
- The most prevalent conditions identified were allergic rhinitis and otitis externa, with a notable association between these manifestations and patients' CD4 counts and viral loads.
