ABSTRACT
El neurinoma del acústico es el tumor benigno más frecuente a nivel del ángulo pontocerebeloso (ACP), que provoca lesiones de tipo compresivo en las estructuras cerebrales adyacentes a su recorrido, manifestándose habitualmente por una hipoacusia neurosensorial, acúfenos con o sin vértigo unilaterales, por lo que debe conocerse la amplia variedad clínica con que se presenta desde su inicio, entre ellas como una parálisis facial. Presentamos el caso de un schwannoma vestibular en una embarazada diagnosticado por una parálisis facial periférica
Acoustic neurinoma is the most frequent benign tumour at the cerebellopontile angle. It causes compressive type lesions in adjacent cerebral structures. Its usual symptoms are sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus with or without unilateral vertigo, which is why we have to know the wide variety of clinical signs it can present from its beginning, including facial palsy. We present the case of a vestibular schwannoma in a pregnant lady diagnosed by a peripheral facial palsy

Adeno-tonsillectomy is the most frequent surgical intervention of de the head and neck in paediatrics in the industrialised countries and one of the most common operations in Mayor Day Case Surgery; although is not void of risks which can be fatal. Complications can be surgical or anaesthetics in nature, one of the most serious complications being postoperative bleed. Among risk factors we can highlight: age younger then three, female gender, duration of surgery, incomplete haemostasis, coagulophaties. These could be related to delayed oral intake. Postoperative bleed could not related to technique or haemostasis applied. We carry out a revision of this subject.

El síndrome de Prader-Willi (SPW) fue descrito por primera vez en 1956. La inexistencia de marcadores biológicos nos lleva a que su diagnóstico sea clínico, teniendo en cuenta que varía con la edad. Se caracteriza por hipotonía neonatal, obesidad, ligero retraso mental o incapacidad para aprender y trastornos en el comportamiento, sobre todo hacia la comida. La mayoría de los aspectos estudiados se han centrado en aspectos médicos y genéticos, estando muy limitados los referentes a la audición y al lenguaje. Realizamos una revisión de los mismos
Prader Willi syndrome was described for the first time in 1956. Due to its lack biological markers its diagnosis is s clinical one, taking into consideration that it varíes with age. It is characterised by neonatal hypotonia, obesity, mild mental retardation or learning incapacity, behavioural problems, mainly towards food. Most aspects studied have been centred in medical and genetic aspects, where as those related to hearing and language have been somewhat limited. We carry out a revision of those aspects

La adenoamigdalectomía constituye la intervención de cabeza y cuello más frecuente en la infancia en los países desarrollados, y uno de los procesos más habituales en la CMA. No está exenta de riesgos, pudiendo llegar a ser fatales. Las complicaciones pueden ser quirúrgicas y anestésicas, siendo la hemorragia posquirúrgica la complicación más grave. Entre los factores de riesgo destacan: edad menor de 3 años, sexo femenino, duración de la intervención, hemostasias incompletas, coagulopatías, pudiendo estar relacionada con el retraso de la ingesta oral, pero no con la técnica-hemostasia utilizada. Realizamos a continuación una revisión de dichas complicaciones
