Background and Aim: With the introduction of ciprofloxacin in the late 1980s, many patients with malignant otitis externa were successfully treated on an outpatient basis. In recent years, there have been an increasing number of patients reported with ciprofloxacin-resistant pseudomonas malignant otitis externa seen in the literature.
Background and Aim: Facial palsy is a well-known complication of acute and chronic otitis media. We present a case of facial nerve paralysis following otitis media without significant pain or history of chronic otitis media.
Background and Aim: Stapes surgery, the first-choice treatment for otosclerosis, restores the ossicular chain mobility. Otoacoustic emissions, particularly transient-evoked (TEOAEs) and distortion product (DPOAEs), are capable of noninvasively recording both conductive hearing and cochlear function.
Background and Aim: Occupational hearing loss is an issue with important socioeconomic and psychological extensions. Early diagnosis and application of effective preventive measures are currently limited by the lack of widely accepted screening protocols. This study was aimed at investigating the role of extended high-frequency audiometry in the early diagnosis of occupational hearing loss.
Background and Aim: Patients with sinonasal manifestations of a systemic inflammatory disease often suffer with chronic sinusitis that responds minimally or temporarily to standard treatment. This clinical picture may be part of the disease complex or coexist with it.
Background and Aim: The three most common pituitary tumors are adenomas, craniopharyngiomas, and meningiomas. Craniopharyngiomas are remnants of Rathke's pouch. They comprise less than 3% of all intracranial tumors, but are the most common parasellar tumor of children and the second most common adult sellar lesion. The primary goal of treatment for such tumors is surgical removal, which is almost never radical. For this reason, radiation therapy may serve as an adjuvant treatment for recurrent or residual tumors.
