RESUMEN
There is widespread recognition that consistency between research centres in the ways that patients with tinnitus are assessed and outcomes following interventions are measured would facilitate more effective co-operation and more meaningful evaluations and comparisons of outcomes. At the first Tinnitus Research Initiative meeting held in Regensburg in July 2006 an attempt was made through workshops to gain a consensus both for patient assessments and for outcome measurements. It is hoped that this will contribute towards better cooperation between research centres in finding and evaluating treatments for tinnitus by allowing better comparability between studies.

The maxillary sinus mucocele is a rare condition and it usually presents clinically as a benign tumor. Sixteen patients were evaluated. A previous history of surgery or injury to maxillary sinus was obtained in 12 cases, the diagnosis being confirmed by computed tomography imaging. Recovery is often complete after Caldwell-Luc operation. The authors discuss some important aspects of diagnosis and treatment.
