Otogenic Pneumocephalus After Tegmen Bone Reconstruction: A Case Report.
    Ear, nose, & throat journal, 2022, Volume: 101, Issue:1

    Pneumocephalus is usually induced by trauma, infections, tumors of the skull base, and surgical interventions. Spontaneous pneumocephalus occurs due to a defect in the temporal bone with no obvious cause. Few cases have been reported with spontaneous otogenic pneumocephalus. However, delayed postoperative pneumocephalus is rarely reported in the literature. Here, we present a case of otogenic pneumocephalus through Eustachian tube (ET) preceded by nose blowing 10 days after surgical treatment of meningoencephalocele of the right middle ear (ME) cleft and reconstruction of tegmen and dural defects. Pneumocephalus was provoked by decreased intracranial pressure (ICP) secondary to placement of lumbar drain, which caused direct communication between unsutured dural defect and the defective posterior wall of external auditory canal skin. A revision surgery of combined transmastoid/middle cranial fossa approach was performed for intracranial decompression followed by appropriate closure by suturing the dura, obliterating the ET and ME.

Detection of adenoidal hypertrophy using acoustic rhinomanometry.
    European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1997, Volume: 254 Suppl 1

    Adenoidal hypertrophy is the commonest cause of nasal obstruction in the pediatric population. It may cause marked morbidity as regards respiratory physiology, facial growth and middle ear function. Determination of adenoidal presence and size is not easy. Nasal endoscopy and radiology are the most accepted modes of diagnosis and each has its disadvantages. We have used acoustic rhinometry to determine the size of adenoids. Changes in nasal volume and resistance were recorded and an easy formula was devised to determined adenoid size. This technique is easy, non-invasive and reproducible with a 93.5% predictive value.
