Effects of septoplasty on the acoustic parameters of voice
Conclusions Findings of this study indicate that nasal obstruction due to septal deviation contributed to hyponasality in voice. Nasalance scores increased in the post operative group suggesting an increase in nasal acoustic energy due to a decrease in nasal airway resistance and an increase in nasal area following corrective surgery on the septum.

Role of high resolution multislice CT scan in otosclerosis
This study was done at Al Azhar University hospitals during the period from Jan 2012 to Jun 2014. Thirty-two patients were enrolled in this study; 13 (40.63%) males and 19 (59.37%) females. Their age ranged from 13 to 55 with a mean of 36.21±8.7years. Written consent was taken from all patients. Multislice CT scan was done to all patients and reports were done by computer assisted analysis with thorough audiological assessment including pure tone audiometry, tympanometry and stapedial reflex. Positive findings were present in 40/58 ears (69%) while negative findings were present in 18/58 ears (31%). Otosclerotic foci were...

Invasive fungal infections of face – A diagnostic challenge: Case series and review
We present three cases of cutaneous mycoses in immune competent adults. Case 1: 62year old immune competent male presented with right sided cheek swelling with induration. Malignancy was considered and a biopsy was done which showed entomophthoromycosis. Case 2: 77year old immune competent male presented with hard indurated swelling in the dorsum of nose. Radiology showed heterogeneous soft tissue density in the cheek. Fungal culture confirmed presence of Conidiobolus coronata. Case 3: A 60year old female presented with right cheek swelling which was 5*3cm and showed heterogeneous soft tissue density in the subcutaneous t...

Post-septal orbital complications of acute bacterial rhinosinusitis: Endoscopic anatomical considerations
This study aims to analyze the possible relationship between sinonasal anatomic variation and the incidence of orbital infections complicating acute sinusitis. A management protocol amalgamating both clinical and radiological criteria is presented. The study was carried out on 240 patients suffering from acute rhino-sinusitis with 90 patients suffering from orbital post-septal complicating acute rhino-sinusitis. Eighty-five cases underwent orbital decompression, except 5 cases with orbital cellulitis; they were improved on medical treatment. Visual monitoring by the ophthalmological team on regular basis was performed, unt...

Goucha Chebbi, A. El May, S. Gritli Primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL) is defined as a lymphoma involving only the thyroid gland or both thyroid gland and neck lymph nodes, without contiguous spread or distant metastases from other areas of involvement at diagnosis. Despite its rarity, PTL should be promptly recognized because its management is quite different from the treatment of other neoplasms of the thyroid gla...
