Pai syndrome is a rare congenital disorder first described in 1987. The main clinical features of the syndrome include median cleft of the upper lip, intra-cranial lipoma, and cutaneous polyps. Only four cases have been described previously. This is the fifth who is a twin of Arabian descent to be reported. Full description of the clinico-pathological features and a review of the relevant medical literature is presented. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of Pai syndrome in a twin in the English literature.

Pediatric sinonasal anatomy changes and develops from birth to adolescence. This article elucidates the normal anatomy and patterns of development in the pediatric population. Issues in pediaric sinusitis include indications for imaging, the nonspecificity of sinus opacification, and the importance of clinical information. Sinonasal physiology is briefly discussed to offer insight into the interpretation of radiographic findings. Cystic fibrosis, polyps, and choanal atresia, representing the spectrum of common pediatric sinonasal inflammatory disorders are illustrated, and the spectrum of orbital and intracranial complications of sinusitis is reviewed.

Patients with respiratory tract allergy present certain auditory and visual signs which, when correlated with the history, aid substantially in arriving at a conclusive diagnosis. The physician should be alert to the signs that indicate allergic disease. Early recognition followed by modern allergy management will help to prevent progression of the allergic process.

Office-based procedures have been proposed for the treatment of vocal polyps, including indirect laryngoscopic surgery and angiolytic laser photocoagulation. Our previous report documented good treatment outcomes by combining the two aforementioned procedures. This study was intended to further compare the treatment outcomes of office transnasal vocal fold polypectomy (VFP) with those of microlaryngoscopic surgery (MLS).. A matched cohort study.. This study retrospectively enrolled 50 age-, gender-, and size-matched patients with vocal polyps treated by VFP or MLS at a tertiary teaching hospital from January 2012 to October 2013. Treatment outcomes were evaluated before, 2 weeks, and 6 weeks after the procedures via perceptual rating of voice quality, acoustic measurement of the speech signal, 10-item voice-handicap index, maximal phonation time, subjective rating of voice quality, and videolaryngostroboscopic evaluation.. Both VFP and MLS resulted in significant clinical improvements 2 and 6 weeks postoperatively. Study results exhibited similar objective outcomes between VFP and MLS, whereas patients who received VFP reported higher subjective voice quality than those receiving MLS 2 weeks postoperatively. Six weeks after the procedures, the objective and subjective treatment outcomes were not significantly different between the two treatment groups.. This study shows that transnasal VFP may be used as an effective alternative treatment for small vocal polyps. Patients who received office VFP experienced rapid symptomatic relief with a higher degree of subjective effectiveness than MLS 2 weeks postoperatively, whereas the overall treatment outcomes showed a comparable level of effectiveness for both modalities.. 3B.

Endonasal surgery of paranasal polyposis. Two hundred and fifty one microscopical sphenoethmoidectomies with a major complication rate of 2.6% are reported. Long term results are analysed. Nasal obstruction disappears in 96% and persists in 70% of the cases 5 years later. Through topical steroid therapy and surgical experience polyp recurrence rate is reduced to 30%.

This article discusses the diagnosis and management of acute and chronic diseases of the nasal cavity and sinuses. Also discussed are the anatomy of the upper respiratory tract, guidelines for obtaining a thorough history and performing a complete physical examination, and various diagnostic procedures, such as rhinoscopy, culture, and serology.

Endonasal sinus surgery aims at the preservation of a lining mucosa in the reventilated and redrained cavities. It can, therefore, be confined to the removal of narrowing bone at the "isthmus" of the ducts or windows. Transnasal ethmoidectomy for diffuse polyposis consists of the removal of the ethmoidal cell septa, including the middle turbinate, and a broad fenestration of both the sphenoid sinus and the frontal infundibulum. A consequent postoperative care provided, transnasal ethmoidectomy offers excellent clinical results. A new suction-irrigation endoscope and refined instruments contribute to improved surgical exposure and to the avoidance of complications.
