Background: Evaluation of a patient with chronic rhinosinusitis also requires proper radiological examination apart from otolaryngological examination and diagnostic nasal endoscopy. Various anatomical variations can be seen on CT Scan of nose and paranasal sinuses.

During the course of earlier investigations (1, 2) the author observed the existence of a high proportion of eosinophil leukocytes in the cell content of fluid aspirated from bullae in pemphigus vulgaris. In order to understand the significance of the observation it was necessary to determine the effect of those coexisting factors which might be regarded as having an influence upon the eosinoph...

On the basis of dissection of 24 bones of 12 black rats a systematic anatomical description was made and measurements of selected size parameters of the temporal bone were taken. Besides the main air space in the middle ear, the tympanic bulla, there are also additional air cells, namely the anterior and posterior epitympanic recesses, containing the head of the malleus and the body of the incu...

The effect of loud sound on the perilymphatic oxygen tension was studied in anesthetized guinea pigs. Pure tone (4 kHz) and broad-band noise were given at 85-130 dB SPL for 3-8 min. No effects were seen either in the animals exposed to pure tone or in the animals exposed to 85 dB broad-band noise. In the animals exposed to noise at 130 dB SPL both increases and decreases of perilymphatic oxygen...

The averago duration of the treatment was about ten days, but, in some fortunate cases, the worm was extracted entire after the first or second application. The following are the details of treatment :? Many of the patients come w...

In endoscopic sinus surgery, the anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) is usually identified as it traverses obliquely across the fovea ethmoidalis, posterior to the bulla ethmoidalis and anterior to or within the ground lamella's attachment to the skull base. Injury to the AEA may result in hemorrhage, retraction of the AEA into the orbit, and a retrobulbar hematoma. The resulting increase in intrao...

A 20 year-old man presented with redness, severe visual loss and progressive protrusion of a horn-like mass from the palpebral fissure of his left eye (Fig. 1). He reported gradual appearance of a bubbly tissue on the left cornea progressively growing out of the palpebral fissure over the past several months. He had history of ocular trauma with a piece of glass from an exploding vial with unkn...
