In a previous study we found that endoscopic-assisted peritubal adenoidectomy (EPA) resulted in cure of most patients without the need of MVT. We adopted this technique and modified it in the last 20 years. Aim: To describe and evaluate the results of EPA in management of OME in both new and recurrent cases after previous surgery, and whether we can avoid MVT or not. Patients and Methods: Our techniques for EPA and MVT were described. Three studies were performed, including 282 patients. Study 1: randomized (prospective) study included 110 new non-operated cases. Study 2: Retrospective study, included 120 new non-operated patients with selected criteria. Study 3: Recurrent cases: It included 52 patients after previous surgery. Each study included 2 subgroups: a- EPA. b- EPA+MVT for comparison. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 subgroups in the three studies. EPA had the same success rate as compared with EPA+MVT. Complications were recorded and discussed. Conclusion: Endoscopic examination and removal of peritubal adenoid remnants were major cornerstone step in management of OME. We can avoid MVT by this technique, without complications in most cases.","PeriodicalId":37983,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Ear, Nose, Throat and Allied Sciences","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84694693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Otoacoustic emissions are used to assess cochlear function. Inner ear disorders commonly affect both cochlea and vestibular labyrinth. Posturography is used to evaluate the incorporation of sensory inputs; visual, vestibular and somatosensory which maintain posture and can be used in patients with cervicogenic dizziness. Objective: Analyze audiological, vestibular and postural findings in patients with spondylo-degenerative changes of the cervical spine with and without dizziness. Patients and Methods: This study was carried out on 70 patients with spondylo-degenerative changes of the cervical spine; 35 associated with dizziness and 35 without dizziness as a control group. Radiological assessment of the cervical spine was done and cervical degenerative index was used to assess severity. Basic audiological evaluation and videonystagmography were done to exclude peripheral and central vestibular lesions. Self-report of dizziness was measured using Dizziness Handicap Inventory. Otoacoustic emissions and posturography were assessed in all patients. Results: CDI total score was significantly higher in patients with dizziness. A positive correlation between CDI score and DHI scores was found. Lower OAES amplitudes were found in the patients with dizziness. SOT scores were lower in dizziness group compared to no-dizziness group. Conclusion: Severity of cervicogenic dizziness could be associated with severity of radiographic findings. Two possible mechanisms may have a role in cervicogenic dizziness include vascular compression mechanism, which was explained by otoacoustic emissions results. Another probable mechanism is neck proprioceptors damage resulting in postural problems in those patients.","PeriodicalId":37983,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Ear, Nose, Throat and Allied Sciences","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88583114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The incidence is slightly higher in female than male. Bilateral choanal atresia in newborns caused respiratory distress, as they were an obligate nasal breather. They were rarely survived without emergency treatment. A transnasal choanoplasty was the mainstay treatment for choanal atresia. Case report: a 15-years-old male reported with bony and membranous type of bilateral choanal atresia. He initially complained of nasal obstruction and rhinorrhea. There was a history of respiratory distress that was alleviated with crying when he was born. The nasal endoscopic and CT-scan examinations showed septal deviation and bilateral choanal atresia of bony and membranous type in the right and left nasal cavity, respectively. The patient underwent septoplasty before choanoplasty. A stent was used to prevent stenosis. However, one month after choanoplasty, a total restenosis of choana was observed in the right nasal cavity and followed by mild stenosis in left nasal cavity. Further revision of choanoplasty with steroid diluted tamponade and steroid injection in the choanal circumference were done to repair the restenosis. The post-operative evaluation showed a mild restenosis with a patent choana. Conclusion: Treatment of bilateral choanal atresia with a transnasal endoscopy approach facilitates choanoplasty with minimal complications. However, complications in the form of recurrent stenosis after surgery remains to be a challenge.","PeriodicalId":37983,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Ear, Nose, Throat and Allied Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81657704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT Background: Cochlear implantation (CI) became an effective procedure in restoring hearing in patients with severe to profound hearing loss (HL). It can help youngsters who do not benefit from hearing aids improve their auditory skills and speech perception. The outcome depends on several factors which affect it one at a time or in combination. Aim: This study was designed to document factors that might affect the outcome of Cairo University’s CI program. Patients and Methods: This prospective study was conducted on fifty children with bilateral severe to profound sensorineural HL who underwent unilateral CI at the CI Unit, Kasr Al-Ainy Hospital, Cairo University. All patients were subjected to careful history taking, full medical examination, audiological and preoperative investigations, phoniatric and IQ assessment then subjected to audiological and language assessment after one year of using the device. Results: After one year of CI, significant improvement in hearing was found with a significant association with the duration of using hearing aids. The language age and vocabulary size were significantly improved. Regarding vocabulary size, it was significantly improved and associated with the preoperative IQ level and preoperative vocabulary size. There was a statistically significant improvement in categories of auditory performance scores with a significant association with the postoperative vocabulary size. Conclusion: CI is an effective and safe treatment in children with sensorineural HL. Its positive outcome could be affected by the preoperative use of hearing aids, preoperative language age, vocabulary size, and child’s IQ.","PeriodicalId":37983,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Ear, Nose, Throat and Allied Sciences","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78219540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
