ABSTRACT
Objective@#The clinical characteristics of dural arteriovenous fistula with pulsatile tinnitus were analyzed to deepen the understanding of the disease.@*Methods@#The clinical data of five patients complained of pulsatile tinnitus and diagnosed dural arteriovenous fistula in Henan People's Hospital from May 2013 to June 2018 were retrospectively analyzed, including 3 males and 2 females, aged 27-65 years.@*Results@#The main clinical symptoms of the five patients were continuous pulsatile tinnitus, accompanied/not accompanied by headache, memory decline, etc., with a course of three months to 20 years. They were diagnosed as dural arteriovenous fistula by digital subtraction angiography, and three cases of tinnitus disappeared and two cases of tinnitus were relieved after embolization.@*Conclusions@#The dural arteriovenous fistula is a rare and complicated disease. When the patient complain of the pulsatile tinnitus, the related etiology should be considered and managed properly.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the key issues in the diagnosis and treatment of foreign body aspiration in children with tracheobronchial variations.@*Methods@#A retrospective study was performed for 11 pediatric patients who were treated in Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, Henan Province People′s Hospital after a diagnosis of foreign body aspiration with tracheobronchial variations between January 2015 and December 2017. There were 7 males and 4 females among the 11 cases of foreign body aspiration with tracheobronchial variations, ranging between 9 months and 11 years of age.@*Results@#Among 11 cases, the types of variationswere tracheal bronchus in 9 cases, bridging bronchus in 1 case and simple tracheal stenosis in 1 case. All of the pediatric patients were under general anesthesia, and the foreign bodies were removed by bronchoscopy successfully with no significant complications.@*Conclusions@#The possibility of tracheobronchial variations should be considered in children with recurrent wheezing and poor efficacy of regular treatment before foreign body aspiration. Removal of foreign body via rigid bronchoscope under general anesthesia is a safe and effective treatment. These children are needed to combine the situation oftracheobronchial variations and the location of foreign bodies to guide the operation, and strengthened the perioperative treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the application effects of endoscopic optic nerve decompression in patients with traumatic optic neuropathy and its effect on visual acuity.Methods From January 2014 to January 2016,100 patients (100 eyes) with traumatic optic neuropathy in our hospital were selected as observation objects.According to different treatment methods,the patients were divided into observation group and control group,50 cases in each group.The control group was treated with drugs,and the observation group with endoscopic sinus decompression of optic nerve on the basis of the control group after the stability of the disease.The patients in two groups were followed up at least 1 year.The clinical efficacy,visual acuity,VEP findings and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results The effective rates in the observation group and control group were 76.0％ and 36.0％,there was significant difference between two groups (P ＜ O.05).In the observation group,the visual acuity of 16 eyes were improved in 22 eyes with no light perception,9 eyes in 13 eyes with light perception,9 eyes in 11 eyes with hand movement,and 4 eyes with finger counting were all improved;In the control group,the visual acuity of 6 eyes were improved in 20 eyes with no light perception,6 eyes in 14 eyes with light perception,5 eyes in 12 eyes with hand movement,1 eye in 4 eyes with finger counting.After treatment,the incubation period and amplitude of P1O0 in the observation group were (116.85 ±7.96) ms and (5.11 ± 1.16) μV,which were better than the control group (105.62 ±6.82) ms,(4.31 ± 1.25) μV.The incidence of adverse reaction in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P =O.000).Conclusion The endoscopic optic nerve decompression has a good application effect and safety in patients with traumatic optic neuropathy,can effectively improve the patient's visual acuity,help to improve the quality of life of patients,is worthy of clinical application.
ABSTRACT
[ABSTRACT]OBJECTIVETo analyze the risk factors and clinical curative effect of revision endoscopic sinus surgery.METHODSThe clinical data of the 80 patients underwent revision endoscopic sinus surgery were analyzed and the efficacy of the surgery was evaluated by the scores of the endoscopic examination, Lund-Mackay and VAS scoring system. Recovery rate and risk factors were observed and assessed. RESULTSIn 80 patients, 62 cases recovered, 11 cases improved, 7 cases were ineffective,and the total effective rate was 91.25%. Single factor analysis showed that operation frequency, follow-up compliance, history of allergic rhinitis and polyps effect on the clinical curative effect significantly (P<0.05). Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that main risk factors affecting the curative effect were operation frequency, history of allergic rhinitis and polyps, follow-up compliance, VAS score, endoscopic examination scores, CT examination score, and nasal cavity adhesion (relative risk was between 1.4-2.8).CONCLUSIONOperation frequency, follow-up compliance, history of allergic rhinitis and polyps are important factors on curative effect of revision surgery.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To explore an useful and practical method for three-dimensional reconstruction of cochlear microstructure.@*METHOD@#A digital image dataset of magnified forty times of human cochlear tissue can be get from the serial sections of transverse cedukol images of male cadavers temporal bone. Photoshop 6.0 and Amira 3.0 software were used to deal with the digital image dataset, such as image-connecting and image inner-location and three-dimensional reconstruction of cochlear and scala media.@*RESULT@#The result of three-dimensional reconstruction of the cedukol images represents the anatomy of human cochlear and scala media transparently and objectively.@*CONCLUSION@#The three-dimensional reconstruction technique used in the study is practical for three-dimensional of inner ear microstructure.

OBJECTIVE@#To improve effectiveness of diagnosis and therapy in patients with tracheobronchial specific foreign body.@*METHOD@#Fourty-six cases with specific foreign bodies in the trachea and bronchi, admitted from March 1998 to June 2006, were analyzed retrospectively.@*RESULT@#Forty-one of 46 the specific foreign bodies were successfully removed through bronchoscopy. Three cases were removed by chest surgery. Two cases were died.@*CONCLUSION@#Suitable surgical instrument should be well selected and the best operation should be applied according to different conditions of the foreign bodies. Rigid bronchoscopy for removal of specific foreign bodies under general anesthesia is a main measure presently.

Objective To compare the diagnostic value of CT and NE for lesions of nasal cavity and paranasal sinus area.Methods 80 cases of nasal and paranasal sinus diseases which were examined by both CT and NE at same period and proved by pathology.were reviewed.Results Compare with results of pathology,the accucy rate of both CT and NE was identical in diagnosing sinusitis and tumours of paranasal sinus,NE was higher than CT in nasal and paranasal sinus polyp and nasal cavity tumour,turbinate hyperplasia CT was higher than NE in paranasal sinus cyst and anatomic variations.Conclusion Pathologic biopsy can be taken under NE guide to understand the shape,texture and colour of the illness focus CT can show the size,shape and anatomy relation between lesion and its neighbor tissue.The diagnosis may more perfectly through NE combined with CT.
