Cervicofacial Actinomycosis In Children, Michael E. Friduss, Dennis R. Maceri Mar 1990

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 …


Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: Methods Of Diagnosis And Treatment, Ravi R. Sarin, Ajay K. Sangal, Timothy T. Schubert, Jan Rival Mar 1990

Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: Methods Of Diagnosis And Treatment, Ravi R. Sarin, Ajay K. Sangal, Timothy T. Schubert, Jan Rival

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Until two decades ago the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES) was difficult to diagnose and stage accurately. Total gastrectomy was often the ultimate treatment. Improvements in the measurement of serum gastrin and in radiographic imaging have greatly improved the precision of diagnosis and staging. Treatment with histamine-2 receptor antagonists and proton pump blockers have eliminated the need for gastrectomy, and current surgical intervention is directed at cure through removal of the localized gastrinoma. We reviewed the management of eight patients with this diagnosis seen at Henry Ford Hospital from 1983 to 1988. Time from first presentation to diagnosis varied from two months …

Denker Rhinotomy For Inverted Papilloma Of The Nose And Paranasal Sinuses, Samuel A. Mickelson, Richard D. Nichols Mar 1990

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 …


Management Of Chronic Staphylococcal Osteomyelitis Of The Temporal Bone: The Use Of Hyperbaric Oxygen, Vanessa G. Schweitzer Mar 1990

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 …


Entry Of The Hearing Impaired Into The Health Care System, Kathleen Yaremchuk, Jonathan Schmidt, Linda Dickson Mar 1990

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 …


Metastatic Carcinoma Of The Jaws: Report Of A Case, Jack L. Clark Mar 1990

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.


Management Of Voice Disorders, Alex F. Johnson, Barbara H. Jacobson, Michael S. Benninger Mar 1990

Management Of Voice Disorders, Alex F. Johnson, Barbara H. Jacobson, Michael S. Benninger

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Voice disorders are commonly seen in general medical practice. In some cases voice disorders represent the presenting symptom for serious underlying disease. It is important for clinicians from internal medicine, pediatrics, and family practice to be able to identify those factors in the history or observed vocal symptoms which suggest need for referral for comprehensive voice evaluation as well as to understand the distinct but complementary roles of the specific disciplines (otolaryngology and speech-language pathology) involved in diagnosis and treatment of patients with voice disorders.


The Bouveret Syndrome: An Unusual Cause Of Hematemesis, Alaa A. Salah-Eldin, Mostafa A. H. Ibrahim, Ravindra Alapati, Saleh Muslah, Timothy T. Schubert, Bernard M. Schuman Mar 1990

The Bouveret Syndrome: An Unusual Cause Of Hematemesis, Alaa A. Salah-Eldin, Mostafa A. H. Ibrahim, Ravindra Alapati, Saleh Muslah, Timothy T. Schubert, Bernard M. Schuman

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Gallstones are usually silent. Less commonly, patients with cholelithiasis develop symptoms and/or complications; biliary fistula occurs in 3% to 5% of the cases. When a large stone is passed and occludes the duodenum, gastric outlet obstruction (the Bouveret syndrome) may result. In reported cases, the stones are usually larger than 2.5 cm. The usual presenting symptoms are those of bowel obstruction: abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Less commonly, the patients experience melena and, rarely, hematemesis. We describe a patient who had the largest stone reported to cause hematemesis rather than bowel obstruction and to be diagnosed endoscopically. The 5 X …


Variability Of Quantitative Sensory Testing: Implications For Clinical Practice, Janice Redmond, Didier Cros, Bhagwan T. Shahani Mar 1990

Variability Of Quantitative Sensory Testing: Implications For Clinical Practice, Janice Redmond, Didier Cros, Bhagwan T. Shahani

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The conventional estimation of motor, sensory, and mixed nerve conduction velocities reflects activity in the fastest conducting, heavily myelinated nerve fibers that are only a small proportion of the total. Unmyelinated and thinly myelinated fibers are not evaluated by this technique and numerically represent the largest group of fibers in human cutaneous nerves. The availability of new quantitative techniques to study this aspect of sensory function is an important addition to standard electrodiagnosis. Patient understanding and cooperation is essential because subjective responses are evaluated. We evaluated a reference range for 20 healthy subjects as well as variability on repeated testing. …
