Abstract

Abstract Introduction Addressing acquired laryngotracheal stenosis presents a complex healthcare dilemma. Results We present a case series of 48 acquired post-intubation laryngotracheal stenosis cases managed within our Department of ENT Surgery at Farhat Hached Tunisia. Diagnosis relied on imaging and endoscopic findings. Among these cases, 28 exhibited tracheal stenosis, with 60% falling into grade 2–3 severity. Management approaches included sole endoscopic dilation for 17 patients, surgical intervention for 19 patients, and T-tube placement for 10 patients. Conclusions The management of laryngotracheal stenosis poses a challenge for ENT surgeons. Prevention is paramount, encompassing various measures such as employing high-volume, high tracheostomy, and extended intubation practices.

Abstract

Abstract Background The diffuse sclerosing variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma is a rare pathologic entity. It is characterized by a tendency for rapid growth and a higher incidence of cervical lymph node and distant metastases. We report an unusual presentation of diffuse sclerosing variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma presented as a single thyroid mass of a small size. Case presentation We experienced a case of a diffuse sclerosing variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma in a 30-year-old woman. The preoperative findings on the cytology and ultrasound were suggestive of a malignant thyroid nodule. This case was confirmed by surgical excision. The management included surgery, radioiodine ablation, and suppressive levothyroxine therapy. Conclusions We would like to highlight that an early diagnosis associated with an appropriate management leads to a good prognosis.

Abstract

Abstract Otogenic cerebral sinovenous thrombosis is an intracranial complication secondary to otogenic disease; it is rare but could be a life‐threatening condition. Its management is always challenging. This study aimed to focus on clinical features, on diagnosis of this pathology and to review the most controversial aspect of management of otogenic cerebral sinovenous thrombosis. We reviewed retrospectively 10 inpatients treated with cerebral sinus thrombosis secondary to otitis between 1995 and 2020. Ten inpatients (eight males and two females) with ages ranging from 11 to 77 years were diagnosed with ontogenesis sinus thrombosis. The most commonly reported symptoms were headaches and otalgia. Five patients had mastoiditis, and 7 of the 10 patients had other concurrent complications: cerebellar abscess (three patients) and extradural empyema in two patients, retropharyngeal abscess in one patient, and meningitis in one patient. All patients were treated with broad‐spectrum antibiotherapy, anticoagulation was used to treat nine patients, and surgery was required in nine patients. Nine patients had satisfactory resolution of their symptoms, but one patient had sequel as permanent loss of visual acuity. Because of the inconspicuous clinical presentation, and the probability of a fatal evolution, suspicion is essential for a proper diagnosis and suitable treatment.
