ABSTRACT
Ten patients suffering from cancer larynx were assessed clinically and by C.T. scan surgery was done and pathological examination of the specimens was done. C.T. scan gave higher accuracy and proper assessment of gross cartilage invasion, pre-epiglottic space and paralaryngeal space invasions. It was of limited value in early glottic lesions

The close relation between the nose and paranasal sinuses to the orbit has both clinical and surgical importance. From the clinical point of view, proptosis is not an uncommon presentation of nasal and paranasal sinuses disorders. From the surgical point of view, nasal and paranasal surgery may be needed to treat a primarily nasal or paranasal sinuses disorder or be needed to decompress the orbit affected by other pathologies. Rarely, nasal surgery itself may be complicoted by protosis. Review of some important nasal and paranasal sinuses disorders manifested primarily by proptosis and treated at Ear, Nose and Throat department, Ain-Shams University during the last five years, is presented in this paper. Their etiology, clinical presentation, investigations and management are clearly discussed
