RESUMO
Orbital foreign bodies in Thailand are uncommon. The diagnosis depends on history taking, physical examination and complete investigations. A case of orbital foreign body was reported with satisfactory result of treatment by transethmoidal approach: ethmoidectomy with antrostomy.

Post-operative scars usually occur at the incision sites following various procedures of the parotid gland surgery. From 1982 to 1996, 201 cases of scarless rhytidectomy incisions were analysed and reported, with satisfactory results.

Two-thousand one-hundred tonsillectomies performed from January 1980 to December 1995 by otolaryngologists at Pramongkutklao General Hospital were reviewed. The Dissection-Tyding snare technique was used and hemostasis completed by electric cautery in 690 cases, by suture ligature in 720 cases, by gauze packing alone as a control in 600 cases respectively. It can be concluded that the use of suture ligature offers an efficient and practical method to reduce the incidence of primary tonsillectomies bleeding.

Ninety one sportshooters from several sportshooting clubs ranging in age from 20-49 and 85 control subjects were carefully examined for hearing ability. The male and female ratio was 10.37:1. It was found that 9.34 per cent of the subjects were suffering from hearing impairment at the level of 3,000-8,000 Hertz. At most frequencies the mean decibel between the groups of shooters (1-5 years, 5-10 years, more than 10 years) was significantly different, with the right ear being significantly more impaired than the left ear (alpha = 0.1). At all frequencies the mean decibel level for the control group was significantly different from that for the sportshooters (alpha = 0.1). In conclusion, it is the responsibility of the National Environmental Board on Noise Pollution, the Royal College of Otolaryngologists of Thailand and other related organizations should be much more aggressive in educating sportshooters with regard to protecting their ears against acoustic trauma.
