RESUMO
Objective To observe the efficiency of radiofrequency ablation on inferior nasal concha hypertrophy under nasal endoscope.Methods The radiofrequency ablation needle was applied to inferior nasal concha under 0? nasal endoscope.Results Nasal obstruction was evidently improved,the volume of inferior nasal concha became normal,and the surface became smooth 4 weeks after operation.Efficiency was assessed according to nasal obstruction visual analogue scale(VAS),in which the scale was significantly reduced from(7.9?1.0)points preoperatively to(4.1?0.9)points at 6 months postoperatively(t=2.316,P=0.027).Conclusions Radiofrequency ablation is an effective alternative to treat inferior nasal concha hypertrophy under nasal endoscope.
RESUMO
Objective To study the clinical application of MRI in neonatal asphyxia.Methods There were twenty-two cases of full term infants(≤one year old),they all had asphyxia during delivery.Transverse section on TSE T2-weighted,TSE T1-weighted and FLAIR sequences,and sagittal section on TSE T2-weighted were obtained on MRI.Results The abnormal signal intensity in white matter on MRI were found in 15 cases.The volume of white matter was decreased in three cases.Subarachnoid spaces of frontal and temporal lobe were enlarged in two cases.Two cases were normal on MRI.Conclusion We believed that the changes of the white matter of brain in neonatal asphyxia can be showed on MRI,it is of important significance for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
