Carotid glomus tumours compose an infrequent clinical group. The presence of familiar forms, multicentric or with secretory characteristics hinder the diagnosis. A high suspicion rate based on the clinical picture and supported by imaging techniques will allow in each case to proceed with the more suitable treatment. The case reported refers to a woman with a carotid body glomus possibly of endocrine nature, which evolved favourable despite the therapeutical avoidance due to the peculiar features of the case.

The Rendu-Osler-Weber disease is an hereditary hemorrhagic dysfunction with muco-cutaneous telangiectasia of diverse localization, being able to internal organs and committing the life in some cases, not alone for the derived systemic complications, but for the quantity of the recurrent nosebleed that are the most frequent feature and sometimes restrictive that these patients present. We report two family groups with multidisciplinary diagnosis, and analyze them most important ENT aspects for this syndrome.

La trombosis de la vena yugular interna es un proceso grave e infrecuente. La infección de los espacios profundos de cabeza y cuello ha desaparecido como factor predisponente desde la llegada de la terapéutica antibiótica, dando paso a una pluralidad causal, entre las que destacan las neoplasias ORL y la etiología yatrógena. Su clínica solapada y sus complicaciones mortales, hacen necesario un diagnóstico y tratamiento precoz, con lo que mejora sustancialmente el pronóstico. El motivo de esta revisión es destacar la importancia de unos criterios terapéuticos claros en el abordaje de esta rara entidad (AU)
The internal jugular vein thrombosis is a rare and critical disease. The infection of the head and neck deep spaces it is not the main cause since the antibiotic era. The ENT neoplasms and iatrogenic etiology are more frequent. Anodyne symptoms and vital complications are important to obtain an early diagnose and therapy, to improve the prognosis. The objective of this review is to obtain a certainly therapeutic criteria in the approach to this entity (AU)

El divertículo de Zenker es una lesión esofágica causante de disfagia alta originada por la protusión de la mucosa faríngea a través de una solución de continuidad en el conocido triángulo de Lainert. Existen múltiples teorías etiopatogénicas que coinciden en el carácter adquirido del mismo, atribuyendo a una disnergia faringo esfinteriana el origen del saco. Presentamos el caso de un paciente intervenido de laringuectomía total con disfagia progresiva a sólidos en el que se descubre un divertículo hipofaríngeo. Se analizan los factores implicados en su aparición y se exponen las características definitorias de la enfermedad. Se realiza una revisión bibliográfica, siendo excepcional el hallazgo de casos de divertículos con manifestaciones clínicas en pacientes laringuectomizados (AU)
Zenker's diverticulum is a mucosal lined outpouching of pharynx through Lainert's space that causes dysphagia of the upper digestive tract. Multiples theories try to explain the acquired etiology of this entity, attributing its origin to a disfunction of pharynx-esophageal sphincter. A case of total larynguectomy with hypopharyngeal diverticulum and progressive dysphagia to solid food is presented. We analyze the etiopathogenic mechanisms and the definitive characteristics of this entity. We review mundial literature, being exceptional the fact of finding clinical manifestations in diverticulum of larynguectomized patients (AU)
