ABSTRACT

Les adénopathies cervicales chroniques sont celles qui évoluent depuis plus de trois semaines de façon non résolutive. Elles posent un problème de diagnostic étiologique et peuvent annoncer une affection grave. Matériel et méthodes : Il s'est agi d'une étude descriptive et rétrospective allant du 01 juillet 2007 au 31 juillet 2017, soit une période de 10ans. Cette étude s'est déroulée dans les services d'ORL du CHU-B et de l'Hôpital Général Adolphe SICE. Résultats : Au total 100 cas d'adénopathies cervicales chroniques ont été colligés en 10 ans, soit une prévalence de 1,8%. Le sex-ratio était de 1,17 et la tranche d'âge la plus représentée était celle de 20 à 29 ans avec une moyenne d'âge de 30,8±15,8 ans. La plupart des patients avaient une poly-adénopathie cervicale et une fièvre comme signe associé (64% des cas). Les lésions histopathologiques en cause étaient la tuberculose ganglionnaire (49%), les lymphomes ganglionnaires (21%), les adénites réactionnelles (15%), les métastases des carcinomes (11%) l'histiocytose ganglionnaire (2%) et la maladie de CASTLEMAN (2%).Conclusion : La pathologie ganglionnaire cervicale au Congo reste dominée par la tuberculose, suivie des proliférations lymphoïdes malignes et réactionnelles. L'examen anatomo-pathologique standard est complété par une étude immunohistochimique pour un diagnostic étiologique plus précis

ABSTRACT

Objectif : Décrire les aspects épidémiologiques, diagnostiques, thérapeutiques et évolutifs des Infections des Espaces Profonds du Cou et de la Face (IEPCF) dans le service d'ORL et de Chirurgie Cervico-faciale du CHU Souro Sanou. Matériel et méthodes : Une étude rétrospective réalisée dans le service d'ORL et de Chirurgie Cervico-faciale du CHU Souro Sanou sur la période du 1er janvier 2012 au 31 décembre 2016 a permis de colliger les dossiers cliniques de 41 malades hospitalisés pour une IPCF. Résultats : Les tranches d'âges de 0-5 ans, 20-25 ans et 25-30 ans représentaient 41,47% des cas. Le sex- ratio était de 1,16. La tuméfaction cervicale, la fièvre et la dysphagie représentaient les principaux signes fonctionnels présentés par les patients. Les cellulites cervicales et cervico-thoracique représentaient 36,59% des cas d'IEPCF. L'antibiothérapie à large spectre associée à un acte chirurgical dans 60,97% des cas avait été le principe du traitement. Les taux de guérison et de létalité étaient respectivement de 88% et de 5%. Conclusion : Les IEPCF sont susceptibles de donner des complications évolutives imprévisibles et graves pouvant mettre en jeu le pronostic vital du patient. La prise en charge correcte nécessite des moyens diagnostiques performants en imagerie médicale, un traitement antibiotique à large spectre et une connaissance anatomique des espaces cervicaux profonds du cou et de la face

ABSTRACT

Aim.Review the literature from 1990 to 2013 to determine known anatomic sites; risk factors; treatments; and outcomes of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) in sub-Saharan Africa.Methods.Using a systematic search strategy; literature pertaining to HNSCC in sub-Saharan Africa was reviewed and patient demographics; anatomic sites; histology; stage; treatment; and outcomes were abstracted. The contributions of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); human papillomavirus (HPV) and behavioural risk factors to HNSCC in the region were assessed. Results of the 342 papers identified; 46 were utilized for review; including 8611 patients. In sub-Saharan Africa; the oropharyngeal/oral cavity was found to be the most common site; with 7750 cases (90% of all cases). Few papers distinguished oropharyngeal from oral cavity; making identification of possible HPV-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) difficult. SCC of the nasopharynx; nasal cavity; or paranasal sinuses was identified in 410 patients (4.8% of all cases). Laryngeal SCC was found in 385 patients (4.5% of all cases); and only 66 patients (0.8% of all cases) with hypopharyngeal SCC were identified. In 862 patients with data available; 43% used tobacco and 42% used alcohol; and reported use varied widely and was more common in laryngeal SCC than that of the oropharyngeal/oral cavity. Toombak and kola nut use was reported to be higher in patients with HNSCC. Several papers reported HIV-positive patients with HNSCC; but it was not possible to determine HNSCC prevalence in HIV-positive compared to negative patients. Reports of treatment and outcomes were rare.Conclusions The oropharyngeal/oral cavity was by far the most commonly reported site of HNSCC reported in sub-Saharan Africa. The roles of risk factors in HNSCC incidence in sub-Saharan Africa were difficult to delineate from the available studies; but a majority of patients did not use tobacco and alcohol

ABSTRACT

Dog bites are a poorly understood and complex public health problem. Children are most frequently the victims of dog bites and the face is often the favoured target. A review of dog bite wounds in small children presenting to the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital was carried out over a period of 13.5 years (1991-2004). One thousand eight hundred and seventy-one dog bite wounds were admitted from a total of 125;677 patients treated. From 1;871 patients presenting with dog bite injuries; we identified 596 children who sustained injuries to the head; face or neck. Dog bites to the head; face or neck were responsible for 0.5of all trauma unit presentations and 32of all dog bite injuries. The mean age of the children was 5.1 years. Male children accounted for 68of the patients. The peak incidence was noted in children aged 2 to 4 years old. One hundred and seventy-two (29) bites occurred between the summer months of December and February. Two hundred and forty-nine (42) patients presented to hospital between the hours of 12:00 and 18:00 hours and 275 (46) children presented between 18:00 and 0:00 hours. A large proportion of all attacks occurred either inside or outside the victim's own home and at the home of friends or family. Superficial injuries were treated with wound cleaning; suturing and dressing. There were no fatalities. Dog bites are relatively common in small children; but do not represent a major cause of morbidity and mortality

ABSTRACT

Les localisations ORL extra ganglionnaires de la tuberculose sont peu communes. La symptomatologie clinique est trompeuse; posant ainsi le probleme de diagnostic differentiel avec la pathologie tumorale. Nous rapportons 12 cas de localisations extra ganglionnaires de tuberculose; colliges au service ORL de l'EPS Fattouma Bourguiba de Monastir entre 1995 et 2009. L'age moyen de nos patients est de 38 ans. L'etude topographique a montre 3 localisations laryngees; 3 au niveau des glandes salivaires; 2 amygdaliennes; 2 rhinopharyngees; 2 rhino sinusiennes. Le diagnostic etait anatomopathologique dans tous les cas. Tous nos patients ont recu un traitement antituberculeux avec une bonne evolution

ABSTRACT

Un cas de paragangliome (ou chemodectome ou tumeur glomique) cervical observe au Centre Hospitalier Universitaire d'Antananarivo en 2007 est rapporte dans ce travail. Il s'agissait d'une femme de 55 ans qui presentait une tumefaction laterocervicale droite. Le diagnostic clinique etait aide par l'echographie. Une intervention chirurgicale etait effectuee pour prevenir l'extension et la transformation maligne; impliquant une equipe multidisciplinaire. La dissection et l'exerese etaient laborieuses. Les suites operatoires etaient marquees par la survenue d'une atteinte neurologique. Les auteurs attirent l'attention des praticiens; un paragangliome etant une etiologie possible devant une tumefaction latero cervicale isolee a developpement lentement progressif

ABSTRACT

Background: Neck dissection has been an adjunct surgical procedure in the management of malignancies affecting the head and neck region. Radical neck dissection was the original surgical procedure for the treatment of regional neck metastases. The aim of this paper is to report the management of a female patient with regional neck metastases from squamous cell carcinoma affecting the hard palate.Methods: A case report of a 60-year-old patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the palate who later manifested with an enlarged unilateral cervical lymph node ten weeks after surgery on the primary site. A functional and selective neck dissection in which the accessory nerve; internal jugular vein and sternocleidomastoid muscle were preserved and only the lymph node at the IIa level was removed was carried out under local anaesthesia.Results: The malignant ulcer on the palate was excised and the neck was dissected to remove the clinically enlarged lymph node. These procedures were uneventful and patient was referred for post- operative radiotherapy for possible residual tumours.Conclusion: There is need to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with the radical neck dissection and this has led to the use of various levels of selective neck dissections as in the case presented
