Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery: Morbidity And Early Results, Michael S. Benninger, Samuel A. Mickelson, Kathleen Yaremchuk
Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery: Morbidity And Early Results, Michael S. Benninger, Samuel A. Mickelson, Kathleen Yaremchuk
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Functional endoscopic sinus surgery is a new alternative to conventional sinus surgery as a means of managing recalcitrant sinus disease. This approach to sinus pathology focuses on the importance of the functional ostiomeatal complex and anterior ethmoid sinuses in the pathogenesis of sinus disease. In an effort lo assess the morbidity and initial results of this procedure, 85 cases were reviewed. A total of 82% of the patients had bilateral maxillary and ethmoid sinusitis, and 45% had pansinusitis, frequently associated with allergic rhinitis (56%) and nasal polyps (58%). A total of 82% of the patients were operated on as outpatients …
Sensorineural Hearing Loss And The Diagnosis Of Acoustic Neuroma, Edwin M. Monsell, Jack P. Rock
Sensorineural Hearing Loss And The Diagnosis Of Acoustic Neuroma, Edwin M. Monsell, Jack P. Rock
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus are gradually receiving more attention in medicine due to advances in diagnosis and treatment. Acoustic neuromas can now be detected when they are small, and early microsurgical removal results in the lowest overall morbidity. We examine the historical development of acoustic neuroma management, discuss current diagnosis and treatment, and present illustrative cases from our recent experience. Complaints of tinnitus and hearing loss, especially when unilateral, require appropriate medical evaluation.

Entry Of The Hearing Impaired Into The Health Care System, Kathleen Yaremchuk, Jonathan Schmidt, Linda Dickson
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
The current system of referral of patients complaining of hearing loss usually requires a dual appointment with otolaryngology and audiology. Most of these patients have sensorineural hearing loss for which there is rarely surgical or medical treatment. This study tests the hypothesis that these patients would receive appropriate treatment and that health care dollars would be saved if an audiological assessment could identify those patients who require medical or surgical care. One hundred consecutive patients whose sole complaint was hearing loss were evaluated using audiograms and "hearing abilities questionnaires" by five audiologists using subjective and objective criteria to determine the …
Denker Rhinotomy For Inverted Papilloma Of The Nose And Paranasal Sinuses, Samuel A. Mickelson, Richard D. Nichols
Denker Rhinotomy For Inverted Papilloma Of The Nose And Paranasal Sinuses, Samuel A. Mickelson, Richard D. Nichols
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Inverted papilloma of the nose and paranasal sinuses is an unusual benign neoplasm that has the propensity for local tissue destruction and an association with malignant degeneration. The tumor represents an inverted growth of epithelium rather than outward proliferation. It most commonly arises from the lateral nasal wall with growth into the nose and paranasal sinuses and only rarely originates from the septum. Presenting symptoms are usually unilateral nasal obstruction and clear rhinorrhea. Surgical excision is the recommended treatment though the aggressiveness ofthe approach has varied. Transnasal local excision has been associated with a high recurrence rate. Lateral rhinotomy with …
Hemangiomas Of The Nasal Septum And Paranasal Sinuses, Lisa Marie Sheppard, Samuel A. Mickelson
Hemangiomas Of The Nasal Septum And Paranasal Sinuses, Lisa Marie Sheppard, Samuel A. Mickelson
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Hemangiomas of the nasal septum and paranasal sinuses are rare; only 62 cases of septal hemangiomas and 32 cases of maxillary sinus/maxilla hemangiomas have been reported in the English literature. Hemangiomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any nasal mass lesion because biopsy may result in profuse bleeding and even death. We report the clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, etiology, and histologic appearance of paranasal sinus hemangiomas occurring in four of our patients.
Abnormal Coagulation Profiles In Tonsillectomy And Adenoidectomy Patients, Jonathan L. Schmidt, Kathleen L. Yaremchuk, Samuel A. Mickelson
Abnormal Coagulation Profiles In Tonsillectomy And Adenoidectomy Patients, Jonathan L. Schmidt, Kathleen L. Yaremchuk, Samuel A. Mickelson
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Preoperative coagulation profile screening is routinely performed in otolaryngology before tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy surgery in the United States. Recently there has been controversy as to whether this routine testing is necessary. To evaluate the need for this testing, we reviewed a series of patients with particular attention to abnormal coagulation profiles. Of 91 consecutive patients undergoing tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, or both, four had abnormal preoperative coagulation profiles. Of these patients, one had von Willebrand disease, one had hypofibrinoginemia, and two had a transient acquired lupus-like anticoagulant. The latter condition, which causes a temporary prolongation of the activated partial thromboplastin time, is …
Management Of Chronic Staphylococcal Osteomyelitis Of The Temporal Bone: The Use Of Hyperbaric Oxygen, Vanessa G. Schweitzer
Management Of Chronic Staphylococcal Osteomyelitis Of The Temporal Bone: The Use Of Hyperbaric Oxygen, Vanessa G. Schweitzer
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) is an effective adjunct in the management of selected otolaryngologic problems including radiation-induced necrosis of the temporal hone, malignant external otitis, mandibular osteoradionecrosis and refractory osteomyelitis, soft tissue head and neck necrotizing fasciitis, compromised skin flaps and grafts, acute air or gas embolism, and otologic barotrauma. We describe the management of a patient with insidious Staphylococcus aureus osteomyelitis of the temporal bone by the use of HBO preoperatively and postoperatively in conjunction with surgical debridement. The possible application of angiogenic agents and tetracycline hone-labeling in combination with HBO therapy in the management of refractory neurotologic disease is …
Cervicofacial Actinomycosis In Children, Michael E. Friduss, Dennis R. Maceri
Cervicofacial Actinomycosis In Children, Michael E. Friduss, Dennis R. Maceri
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Actinomycotic infections, once common in humans and cattle, are now rare causes of disease in man. This general group of organisms belongs taxonomically between the true bacteria and the fungi; however, the organisms behave clinically like true anaerobes. The organism, although phagocytized by the host cells, is not killed. Therefore, d is defined as a facultative intracellular parasite of the host. The protean manifestations of actinomycotic infections often mimic infectious processes, such as osteomyelitis or granulomatous disease, as well as neoplasia. It is therefore important for the surgeon to include actinomycosis in the differential diagnosis of cervicofacial masses in children …
Metastatic Carcinoma Of The Jaws: Report Of A Case, Jack L. Clark
Metastatic Carcinoma Of The Jaws: Report Of A Case, Jack L. Clark
Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal
Primary malignant tumors of the mouth and jaws usually do not present a diagnostic challenge to oral surgeons or otolaryngologists. However, recognition of metastatic tumors in the mouth and jaws is much more difficult. A case is presented of metastatic carcinoma from the lung to the soft tissue of the oral cavity. Histopathology of the lesions in the lung and oral cavity as well as the chest x-ray and the Panorex x-ray are presented. The patient refused palliative treatment, became malnourished, and died. A review of the pertinent literature is also presented.
