[Tonsillar angiofibroma]. / Angiofibroma amigdalar.

We report in this paper a case of a tonsillar angiofibroma, whose histopathological features did not differ from its nasopharyngeal counterpart. In an exhaustive review done we have only found another one reference, in the german literature of such location.

[Late hereditary degenerative sensorineural hearing loss associated with IgA mesangial glomerulonephritis of probable autosomal dominant heredity]. / Hipoacusia neurosensorial heredodegenerativa tardía, asociada a glomerulonefritis mesangial IgA, de probable herencia autosómica dominante.

We studied four generations of a Canary Islands family presenting a tardive heredodegenerative hearing loss, associated with IgA mesangial glomerulonephritis, of probable autosomal dominant heredity. With respect to the family, we revised Alport's syndrome, for possible transmission associated with X chromosome, as well as heredodegenerative hearing loss associated with renal pathology of autosomic transmission currently described; we differentiate these hearing losses from our case study, and we discuss the pathogeny of the auditive affection in the said hereditary syndromes. Lastly, we stress the autoimmune hypothesis because of the IgA nephropathy association in the family case, and we list the characteristics of the syndrome described.
