Prognostic Significance of Vocal Cord Mobility after Laryngeal Preservation Protocols in Locally Advanced Laryngopharyngeal Cancers: A Retrospective Analysis

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader Prognostic Significance of Vocal Cord Mobility after Laryngeal Preservation Protocols in Locally Advanced Laryngopharyngeal Cancers: A Retrospective Analysis Via Otolaryngology Indian Abstract In the present study, we look at the prognostic implications of the recovery of vocal cord mobility after treatment in T3 laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers with fixed vocal cords. Patients with T3 laryngeal and hypopharyngeal carcinoma were considered for the study. All patients were treated with standard laryngeal preservation protocols as per treatment guidelines. Recovery of vocal cord functions was assessed with serial flexible laryngoscopic evaluation. Recovery of vocal cord mobility was compared with oncological outcomes. Twenty seven patients were available for final analysis. Cases, where vocal cords remained fixed or continued to have restricted mobility on follow up, were categorised as "unfavourable" and those with complete recovery of function as compared to pre treatment FOL as "Favourable". Thirteen (48%) patients did not regain complete mobility of vocal cords. Six patients from the 'unfavourable' group (46%) developed recurrenc e, whereas only one patient from the 'favourable' group (7%) had a recurrence (p = 0.03). The findings of the present study suggest that failure to regain complete vocal cord mobility after CTRT is a poor prognostic factor in T3 laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers.

Allergic Fungal Otomastoiditis: A Case Report and Review of Literature

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader Allergic Fungal Otomastoiditis: A Case Report and Review of Literature Via Otolaryngology Indian Abstract Allergic fungal otomastoiditis, a rare known entity has only been published as case reports in literature. There have been 3 cases of adult and 1 case of pediatric allergic fungal otomastoiditis reported as of now. A young male had unilateral otorrhea and hearing difficulty for four years. The audiogram revealed moderate conductive hearing loss and radiograph showed complete opacification of tympanic cavity. He underwent tympano-mastoidectomy, showing polypoidal granulations and thick mucoid discharge. The histopathology was a surprise diagnosis of Allergic fungal otomastoiditis. The clinical and histopathological appearance of this entity matches allergic fungal rhinosinusitis. After extensive review of literature, we propose a working criterion for early identification of allergic fungal otomastoiditis in otolaryngology setting. View on the web Inoreader.

Comparison of Different Techniques of Meatoplasty After Canal Wall Down Mastoidectomy

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader Comparison of Different Techniques of Meatoplasty After Canal Wall Down Mastoidectomy Via Otolaryngology Indian Abstract To compare surgical outcomes with different meatoplasty techniques without removal of a cartilage piece in canal wall down mastoidectomy. Total 61 patients of canal wall down mastoidectomy included in the study where either inferior based flap technique or division in middle technique meatoplasty performed and 2 groups formed. Group A consisted of 33 patients and the inferior based flap technique of meatoplasty used in these patients. Group B consisted of 28 patients and the division in middle technique of meatoplasty used in these patients. Granulations, discharge or stenosis of canal were observed in less than 8% of cases in both the groups. Meatoplasty done without incision or excision of a piece of cartilage from pinna can be achieved with good success rates with either inferiorly based flap technique or division in middle technique.

Prevalence of Otorhinolaryngological Symptoms in Covid 19 Patients

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader Prevalence of Otorhinolaryngological Symptoms in Covid 19 Patients Via Otolaryngology Indian Abstract To determine prevelance of ENT symptoms in COVID 19 positive patients. A cross sectional study was performed at SRTR GMC AMBAJOGAI, a tertiary care hospital amongst the patients admitted in COVID 19 isolation ward with a positive RT-PCR report. Amongst the included 180 patients, 112 patients had one or more ENT related symptoms that included throat pain (47.2%), loss of smell (55.5%), loss of taste (58.8%) and hearing loss (54.44%) along with generalized COVID 19 symptoms. ENT symptoms can be considered as biomarkers for early diagnosis of Covid-19 patients ensuring faster treatment and isolation allowing better containment of the disease. View on the web Inoreader.
