Morbi-mortalité hospitalière du sujet âgé en O.R.L. au CHU Yalgado Ouedraogo de Ouagadougou

Introduction : Les personnes âgées du fait de la particularité de leur terrain, ont-elles des spécificités du point de vue de la pathologie ORL au Burkina Faso ? Cette étude s'est fixée pour objectif de répondre à cette question en étudiant la morbidité et la mortalité du sujet âgé en ORL au CHU YO de Ouagadougou. Patients et méthodes : Il s'est agi d'une étude rétrospective à visée descriptive qui a inclus tous les patients âgés de 60 ans et plus reçus dans le service d'O.R.L. du CHU YO de janvier 2007 à décembre 2011, soit une période de 5 ans. Résultats : Trois-cent trente-trois (333) sujets âgés ont été reçus dans le service pendant la période de l'étude sur un total de 16.404 patients, soit une fréquence de 2,03%. Le sex-ratio H/F était de 1,19. L'âge moyen des patients était de 67,61 ans avec des extrêmes de 60 et 91 ans. L'HTA était le facteur de comorbidité le plus observé, soit 20,1% des cas. La pathologie pharyngo-laryngée représentait 35,1%, suivie de la pathologie cervico-faciale 26,9% et de la pathologie otologique 23,5%. Les principaux motifs de consultation étaient : la tuméfaction cervicale 17,9% la dysphagie 10,7% et l'hypoacousie 5,7%. Les anti-inflammatoires et les antibiotiques étaient les médicaments les plus prescrits. L'endoscopie sous anesthésie était l'acte de chirurgie le plus réalisé dans 24,6%. Conclusion : La fréquentation du service ORL par les sujets âgés est relativement faible, cependant des besoins accrus en matière de prise en charge des pathologies pharyngo-laryngées en ORL se dégagent dans ce groupe spécifique de la population

Papillomatose laryngée. Aspects épidémiologiques, cliniques et thérapeutiques

Introduction : Pathologie histologiquement bénigne, elle peut cependant mettre en jeu le pronostic vital du patient par ses complications obstructives. Nous voulons à travers cette étude faire le point sur cette affection afin d'améliorer notre prise en charge.Moyens et méthodes : Nous avons mené une étude rétrospective de janvier 2004 à décembre 2013 dans le service ORL du CHU Yalgado Ouédraogo. Cinquante-deux dossiers cliniques complets comportant une confirmation histologique ont été inclus dans l'étude.Résultats : La Papillomatose Laryngée (PL) a représenté 0,38% de nos consultations. La moyenne d'âge de nos patients était de 16 ans avec un sex-ratio de 1,12. La dysphonie a été le principal motif de consultation, elle a été isolée (49%) ou associée à d'autres signes cliniques (51%). La nasofibroscopie et la laryngoscopie directe nous ont permis de mettre en évidence les grappes de papillome mais la confirmation diagnostique a été histologique. Notre traitement a consisté à pratiquer un épluchage à la pince par voie endoscopique des grappes de papillomes. En post-opératoire 73% de nos patients ont récidivé et 1 cas de cancérisation a été diagnostiqué 9 ans après la fin traitement. Conclusion : Le diagnostic positif de la PL est relativement aisé. Cependant l'absence de traitement curatif efficace en fait une affection à évolution imprévisible

Epidemiological and Clinical Aspects and Therapy of Chronic Otitis Media in the "ENT" and Cervicofacial Surgery Ward in the University Hospital of Ouagadougou.

Objectives. The aim of this study was to analyze the epidemiological and clinical aspects of chronic otitis media and its therapeutic processes in our context. Patients and Methods. In a prospective study over a period of 1 year (March 2009-February 2010), 79 patients with chronic otitis media have been cared for in the otolaryngology ward of the University Hospital of Ouagadougou. Results. Chronic otitis media (COM) commonly occurs in the age group from 0 to 15 years (40.50%). Otorrhea was the main reason for consultation in 53 cases (67.10%); the most frequently encountered clinicopathological forms were simple COM (71%) followed by otitis media with effusion (24.30%). Intra-auricular instillations of traditional products (46.09%) were the dominant favoring factor. Treatment was essentially through medication in 59 cases with a stabilization of lesions. Endotemporal complications were noticed in 6 cases. Conclusion. The fight against chronic otitis media is carried out through preventive measures of education the of people.

[Bacteriological profile of chronic otitis media in the ENT and neck surgery department at the Ouagadougou University Hospital Center (Burkina Faso)]. / Profil bactériologique des otites moyennes chroniques au CHU de Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso).

UNLABELLED: The specific germs that cause chronic otitis media determine the treatment necessary. The purpose of this study was to identify the pathogens involved in this disease and to determine the sensitivity of the antibiotics commonly used in order to improve treatment. METHODS: This prospective study took place over 12 months and recorded 53 cases of chronic otorrhea in the ENT department of Ouagadougou University Hospital: 41 underwent cytologic and bacteriologic analysis. RESULTS: We identified 34 cases of bacterial infection (83%), 2 cases of fungal infection (5%) and 5 sterile cultures (12%). The bacteria isolated most frequently were Staphylococcus aureus (29%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (26%) and Proteus mirabilis (18%). These organisms were most sensitive to fluoroquinolones (84%) and third-generation cephalosporins (77%). However, amoxicillin and tetracycline were fairly active against these pathogens, with sensitivity rates of respectively 19% and 7%. CONCLUSION: These data could help guide regional practitioners in choosing probabilistic antibiotic treatment. Sensitivity testing nonetheless remains needed in chronic otorrhea, to verify the efficacy of initial treatment and guide adequate care.

[Cervicofacial cellulitis in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso: report of 26 cases]. / Cellulites cervico-faciales a Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso): 26 observations.

Cervicofacial cellulitis is still observed in Burkina Faso and can be severe. The aim of this study was to review diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with management of cericofacial cellulitis in our region where medical facilities are poor. A retrospective study of patients treated between January 1999 and December 2008 was performed. A total of 26 cases of cervicofacial cellulites were compiled. All patients underwent broad spectrum antibiotherapy associated imidazols. Surgical treatment was performed in 60% of the cases. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential for favorable outcome.

[Susceptibility to antibiotics of Staphylococcus strains isolated in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso]. / Sensibilite aux antibiotiques des souches de Staphylocoques isolees a Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

INTRODUCTION: The sensibility of bacteria in a general way decreased a lot, staphylococci present a resistance to the penicillin in more than 80% of the cases. The aim of our work was to determine the level of sensibility of staphylococci, particularly that of resistant Staphylococcus aureus to Meticilline (SARM). MATERIAL AND METHODS: It is a retrospective study concerning the profile of sensibility of the isolated strains of staphylococci of diverse pathological products.The antibiogramme was realized according to the classic technique and for the test in the oxacilline, the Mueller Hinton + 5% of NaCl was used. RESULTS: during the period of study 1296 strains of staphylococcus were isolated, 153 from hospital Staphylococcus aureus were little sensitive to the penicillin G (10%); however the oxacilline, the gentamicine and the erythromycine were very active (more than 80% of sensibility.The meticillino-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus were also sensitive to the gentamycine, erythromycine and ciprofloxacine; the character of meticillino resistant did not influence the activity of antibiotics as pristinamycin and the vancomycine (100%); however we note a resistance crossed with the erythromycine in more than 95% of the cases. CONCLUSION: the existence although weak of the strains meticillino resistant brings us to propose a regular surveillance of the SARM and to hold as active antibiotics of first line the pristinamycine, ciprofloxacine, gentamicine, with vancomycine as the alternative of last choice in a hospital environment.

[Differenciated thyroid carcinomas with laryngo-tracheal invasion]. / Carcinomes différenciés de la thyroïde avec envahissement laryngo-trachéal.

OBJECTIVES: Analyze the diagnosis and treatment of differentiated thyroid carcinomas with laryngo-tracheal invasion. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Among the 117 patients operated for a differentiated thyroid carcinoma in the ENT department of Tours Hospital (France) between January 1990 and December 2003, seven presented laryngo-tracheal invasion and were included in this retrospective study. RESULTS: Laryngo-tracheal resection resulted in a thyroid cartilage-shaving in two patients. We performed a resection of one side of the thyroid cartilage in one patient, a thyro-tracheal resection-anastomosis with a partial cricoidectomy in one patient, a partial vertical laryngectomy extended to the first tracheal ring in one patient and a total laryngectomy in one patient. No laryngo-tracheal resection was done in one patient. Early complications were swallowing disorders (n = 2), transitory hypoparathyroidism (n = 1), definitive recurrent nerve paralysis (n = 2), subcutaneous emphysema and hematoma (n = 1) and Claude Bernard-Horner's syndrome (n = 1). Locoregional recurrences (n = 2) and distant metastasis (n = 2) were discovered six months to four years after the laryngo-tracheal resection. With a mean follow-up of 40 month, four patients were alive (two disease free) two patients had died and one was lost of follow-up at three months. CONCLUSION: The frequency of locoregional recurrences and distant metastasis is higher for the differentiated thyroid carcinomas with laryngo-tracheal invasion than the others. In these cases, we performed macroscopic carcinological surgery preserving laryngeal functions as much as possible.

[Osteogenesis imperfecta diagnoses early, apropos of a case at the Yalgadou Ouédraogo National Hospital Center of Ouagadougou]. / Ostéogenèse imparfaite (O.I.) à révélation précoce (a propos d'un cas au Centre Hospitalier National Yalgadou Ouédraogo de Ouagadougou).

Osteogenesis imperfecta which represents a family tragedy for parents, a curiosity for physicians and radiologists, constitutes a real constitutional osteoporosis, usually rare with dominant autosomic transmission. Authors report a case of a 37 week amenorrhea living foetus, presenting an osteogenesis imperfecta. This affection, with early in utero manifestations, has a bad prognosis (baby deceased 72 hours after birth). Diagnosis was suspected at echography and conformed by x-rays investigations. The new born got also clinical and pathological examinations. Authors emphasize the unusualness and the gravity of these early clinical features. They insist on doing echography and radiography for the location of osseous and visceral lesions before and afterbirth.
