Lacervicotomie a visee diagnostic bilan de 320 cervicotomies 1983-1987

ABSTRACT

In a study of 320 cases of cervicotomy carried out in the ORL department in the specialised hospital in Rabat, we have tried to show the importance of this operation in the setting-up of a sure diagnosis based on an anatomo-pathological study. So, cervicotomy has given a sure diagnosis in 65%, has corrected the presumed diagnosis in 10%, Has confirmed the presumed diagnosis in 25% we have a global efficiency of 75%. The etiology of chronic cervical tumefactions are varied, but they remain predominated by ganglion tuberculosis, however they may reveal a blood disease or unknown cancer
