Abstract

Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) usually presents as painless thyroid swelling. Painful pediatric HT is a rare condition with limited literature on pain management. We report a 15- year-old female who presented with 4 weeks history of fatigue, malaise and progressive, painful midline thyroid swelling. There was no difficulty in swallowing, no fever or recent upper respiratory infection symptoms. Exam was remarkable for diffusely enlarged, very tender, and non-nodular thyroid. Thyroid function tests, C-reactive protein, and complete blood count were normal. Ultrasound revealed diffusely enlarged non-nodular, non-cystic gland with mild increased vascularity. Diagnosis of HT was confirmed by biopsy and thyroid antibodies. Over a 6 week period, pain management with ibuprofen, levothyroxine, corticosteroid, gabapentin and amitriptyline was unsuccessful. Ultimately, total thyroidectomy resulted in complete resolution of thyroid pain. We can conclude that thyroidectomy may be considered for the rare case of painful HT in children.

Abstract

To review our results with positron emission tomography and computed tomography fusion imaging (PET-CT) surveillance of the postchemoradiotherapy neck in patients with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.Retrospective.Four hundred twenty-eight patients with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma were treated with nonsurgical therapy from September 2002 to March 2007 and followed with post-treatment PET-CT surveillance of the neck. Fifty-two patients meeting inclusion criteria were analyzed. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy of PET-CT were determined.Ten patients had a positive post-treatment PET-CT for residual neck disease, and 42 patients had negative scans. The NPV and PPV were 100% and 40%, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were 100%, 87.5%, and 88%, respectively.Planned neck dissection can be deferred with a negative post-treatment PET-CT. Assuming a complete response at the primary site and a negative PET-CT scan, there may be a role for serial PET-CT surveillance in patients with residual palpable cervical lymphadenopathy.

Abstract

Otitic hydrocephalus is characterized by increased intra – cranial pressure without focal signs of neurological dysfunction. It usually occurs secondary to lateral sinus thrombosis more commonly on the right side, but it can also occur without lateral sinus thrombosis. With the advent of new antibiotics there has been a spectacular decrease in the complications of otitis media. Otogenic intra – cranial hypertension, always an uncommon condition, is seen only very rarely nowadays. Tubercular otitis media still occurs in India, and due to delays in its diagnosis it usually presents with complications. We present three patients with otitic hydrocephalus of tubercular origin.
