RESUMO

Introduction: Odontogenic sinusitis is a well-known, but under-studied bacterial infection of the maxillary sinus that can extend to other sinuses, the orbit, or even the endocranium. Material and methods: We performed an observational retrospective study on the patients with odontogenic sinusitis treated in our hospital over a five-year period. We included patients over 18 years old diagnosed with odontogenic sinusitis and ocular complications and we excluded patients with ocular complications nonrelated to dental-originated sinusitis or patients with odontogenic sinusitis without orbital-ocular complications. Results: We examined the charts of 46 patients. From the total number of patients with oculo-orbital complications generated by odontogenic sinusitis, only 7 were women. The mean age was 33,7 with a standard deviation of 15,7 years. The oculo-orbital complications were assessed according to the Chandler classification. The most frequent orbital complication was preseptal cellulitis followed by orbital cellulitis. All the patients were treated with antibiotic covering both anaerobic and aerobic bacteria and 40 of the patients in our study received surgical treatment. The outcomes were favorable for all the patients in our study with clinical resolution. Conclusion: The oculo-orbital complications of odontogenic sinusitis are severe because they can result in vision loss or other ocular sequelae. The bacteriological features of this sinusitis explain the special characteristics of this infection and can facilitate the extent of the infection to the orbit. Prompt intervention with antibiotics covering anaerobic and aerobic bacteria and surgery addressed to the affected sinus/ sinuses, the dental disease and the orbital pathology ensures a big success rate in the therapy of these complications.

RESUMO

Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL) is a rare manifestation of multiple sclerosis, typically appearing in the early stages of the disease, especially in female subjects. SSHL is produced by the involvement of auditory tract, vestibulocochlear nerve and possibly cochlear structures and rarely due to a single lesion. The authors report the case of a young woman in which the onset of multiple sclerosis presented with SSHL caused by a pontine lesion. Oligoclonal bands in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were absent at the disease onset and appeared during disease progression. Immunophenotyping of cells showed low cellularity of CD19+ cells in the CSF and expression of CD38+ on the majority of CD19+, CD20+ B cells in the peripheral blood, suggesting that many of them were mature B lymphocytes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Human papilloma virus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) has been recognized as a distinct disease entity associated with oral HPV infection with high-risk serotypes, mainly among white man at younger age. Lifetime number of oral sex partners of HPV-positive OPSCC patients is the strongest risk factor associated. HPV type 16 is now established as oncogenic and it is the main cause (over the 80%) of this type of OPSCC, followed by HPV 18 (3%). Nowadays, it is reported a dramatic rising of HPV-positive OPSCC, mainly in developed countries, including Australia, Canada, Denmark, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Poland, Slovakia, Switzerland, Estonia, France, Japan, United States (US) and United Kingdom. At present, the yearly number of new incidence OPSCC cases given to HPV worldwide has been estimated of 29 000 by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). If incidence trends continue, the annual number of HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancers is expected to overcome the annual number of cervical cancers by the year 2020, in the US. AIM: The aim of this paper is to review the recent data about several topics including risk factors of HPV-positive OPSCCs, guidelines in diagnostic evaluation, treatment, prognosis and prevention strategies, through prophylactic HPV vaccine on both sexes. Nowadays, HPV detection is a clinical standard of care for oropharyngeal malignancy by reporting tumors as HPV positive or p16 positive.
