dizziness/dental caries

Deafness, discharge, dizziness, and dependency partially define the discomforts of the patient with an open draining mastoid cavity. The open mastoid cavity remains a problem for some patients despite visits to numerous otolaryngologists. This report is based on outpatient and surgical management of

BACKGROUND Intracardiac invasion of head and neck cancer is extremely rare. Here, we report a case of recurred oral cavity cancer presenting with complete atrioventricular (AV) block caused by cardiac metastasis. METHODS A 70-year-old male presented with dizziness for 2 days. He had a history of

A solitary brainstem abscess is a rare fatal intracranial infection, which can be mistaken for an acute stroke complicated with a systemic infection. Dental caries without abscess formation can be a possible source of infection. Herein, we describe the case of a 59-year-old man with dental caries

BACKGROUND Canal wall down tympanomastoidectomy is commonly used to treat advanced chronic otitis media or cholesteatoma. The advantages of canal wall down mastoidectomy are excellent exposure for disease eradication and postoperative control of residual disease; its disadvantages include the

Rationale: Chest computed tomography (CT) scans play a key role in diagnosing and managing of COVID-19 pneumonia. The typical manifestations of COVID-19 pneumonia on a chest CT scan are ground glass opacities, consolidation, nodules, and

OBJECTIVE To examine the efficacy and safety of mastoid cavity obliteration using highly purified beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) after mastoidectomy in middle ear surgery. METHODS Thirteen patients with cholesteatoma invading the mastoid cavity or showing severe pathologic changes in the

Twenty test subjects were subdivided into two groups with respect to the reactions of brain ventricles to a preliminary head-down test (-30 degrees). Group 1 consisted of subjects who showed ventricular enlargement, headache and nausea; Group 2 included subjects without these reactions. The test

A 39-year-old male was admitted to our clinic with symptoms of headache, dizziness, nausea, otalgia, otorrhea, tinnitus, and hearing loss in both ears for 3 weeks. Physical examination revealed edema in the tympanic membrane and external ear canal, and pain by palpation in the mastoid area

The objective of the present retrospective study was to estimate the efficacy of various surgical techniques employed to treat the patients presenting with chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) and concomitant cholesteatoma complicated by labyrinthine fistula. The authors present an overview of

The tissue tolerance of N-chlorotaurine (NCT), a mild endogenous antimicrobial oxidant, has been investigated by application to the guinea pig middle ear. The animals were implanted with a novel cannula system that allows chronic external drug delivery to the round window niche. In the first part of

BACKGROUND Ventricular noncompaction is a rare unclassified cardiomyopathy due to intrauterin arrest of compaction of the loose interwoven meshwork with limited data regarding diagnosis and outcome in children. METHODS In this study we describe clinical features of isolated left ventricular

BACKGROUND We describe a novel technique that uses a goose neck snare for microcatheterization at transvenous embolization (TVE) for dural arteriovenous fistulae (dAVF). We have named our method the "remora technique." METHODS A 48-year-old man reported with dizziness. Angiography disclosed a

Objective: To review and systematize literature data on the incidence of cysts of septum pellucidum, cavum vergae and cavum veli interpositi, their clinical manifestations, indications for surgical treatment and optimal surgical

We aimed to investigate the safety of intraperitoneal administration of the combination of fosfomycin, metronidazole, and recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF) in patients undergoing appendectomy. We conducted a prospective phase II clinical trial in 14
