BAH is associated with sepsis, antiphospholipid syndrome, use of anticoagulants, adrenal tumors, including metastases, or trauma/surgery in most cases. Mucositis induced by radiation therapy is a frequently occurring toxicity in patients with laryngeal cancer. However, it is rare for radiation-induced mucositis to be complicated by sepsis. We report the case of a 76-year-old man who was diagnosed as having laryngeal cancer (cT2N0M0), received radiation therapy, but suffered from septic shock and died immediately after the radiation therapy. Bacterial culture revealed the growth of Enterobacter cloacae from both the oral discharge and blood. Autopsy revealed severe mucositis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and bilateral adrenal hemorrhage, and the patient was diagnosed as having died due to acute adrenal failure caused by bilateral adrenal hemorrhage.","PeriodicalId":52493,"journal":{"name":"Practica Otologica","volume":"285 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135843330","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}

This case report serves to highlight the possibility that chemoradiotherapy might be useful even in patients with advanced breast cancer with meningeal carcinomatosis, not only to obtain improved hearing, but also prolong the life expectancy.","PeriodicalId":52493,"journal":{"name":"Practica Otologica","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135266910","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}

We report two super-elderly persons aged 85 years who underwent cochlear implant surgery. Case 1 was an 85-year-old man who presented with severe sensorineural hearing loss of 102 dB on the right and 105 dB on the left. We performed cochlear implant surgery. At 3 months after the surgery, the 67-S was 50%, the CI-2004 was 90%, and sentence hearing was 100%. Case 2 was an 85-year-old woman with severe sensorineural hearing loss in both ears. We performed cochlear implant surgery. At 3 months after the surgery, the 67-S was 30%, CI-2004 was 68%, and sentence hearing was 80%. Both patients were receiving anticoagulants, but their cognitive functions and general condition were good. There were no complications in either case, and a questionnaire survey showed an increase in communication opportunities, with both patients saying that “conversations with other people increased,” and “phones became audible.” In addition, we noticed more positive behaviors and improvement in the level of activities of the patients such as “more going out,” “feeling like participating in alumni association meets,” “increased participation in events,” etc. Unlike young people, cochlear implant surgery in the elderly entails various additional problems. However, the desire for reacquisition of the hearing ability plays a major role. Our findings suggest that cochlear implant surgery may be considered for super-elderly persons if there are no problems with their general condition or cognitive functions.","PeriodicalId":52493,"journal":{"name":"Practica Otologica","volume":"151 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135268484","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}
