Les oto-émissions provoquées. Résultats dans l'hypoacousie.

Otoacoustic emissions are present in the majority of normal hearing ears. Hearing loss of different types generally doesn't show evoked acoustic emissions. Sixty-seven impaired ears of different degrees and types where examined to precise the kind of hearing losses unable to elicit oto-acoustic emissions.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Les oto-émissions provoquées acoustiques chez les sujets normo-entendants.

Evoked acoustic emissions is a new clinical method proposed for the exploration of the cochlea and also for infant screening. Eighty five normal hearing ears were screened by this technique. Clinical potential of this technique is discussed.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Chirurgie endoscopique fonctionnelle des sinus. Méthode d'évaluation et résultats.

Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is now undoubtedly the choice procedure for the surgical treatment of chronic sinusitis and nasal polyposis after failure of medical treatment. Between January 1990 and December 1992, 51 patients with chronic sinusitis and 44 with nasal polyposis who underwent FESS were evaluated (170 ethmoidectomies). Preoperative evaluation is obtained through personal scaling combined with a CT of the sinuses, whereas postoperative assessment is based on the same scoring together with an endoscopic evaluation. Good functional results and no significant differences between the two types of pathology are obtained after a 1 year follow-up.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

The occurrence of evoked oto-acoustic emissions in a normal adult population and neonates

In our study, 71 normal-hearing ears from adults and 39 from neonates (n= 110) were tested by the advanced echo test technique devised and described by Kemp (ILO 88). Almost all ears (97% and 95%) showed emissions. This material is convenient for clinical routine in adults and for neonatal screening.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Traitement par endoscopie nasale d'une fistule de L.C.R. Cas clinique.

A patient presenting a recent spontaneous C.S.F. leak was endoscopically treated. Several materials were used to seal off the fistula. The literature on the etiology and treatment of C.S.F. leaks is presented.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Les oto-émissions provoquées. Résultats chez le nouveau-né.

Fifty-four children (104 ears) were examined by the basal echo test technique (Evoked acoustic emissions). The value as screening test is discussed.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Syndrome d'apnée du sommeil. Evaluation après uvulopalatopharyngoplastie.

20 cases of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty performed on patients suffering from sleep apnea syndrome have been studied with a pre- and post-operative polysomnographic recording. Eleven patients (55%) responded to this therapy and showed a significative decrease of their post-operative apnea-hypopnea index. An increase of the mean oxygen saturation was noticed during sleep. On the contrary, the sleep quality did not improve. Age, weight, apnea index are not predictive factors influencing the result of UPPP. Even if UPPP has a relatively poor success rate it still should be proposed to patients suffering from sleep apnea syndrome as it remains the simplest and best tolerated surgical treatment.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Les oto-émissions spontanées. Résultats chez le sujet normo-entendant.

36 normal hearing subjects were tested for spontaneous oto-acoustic emissions. The data obtained are presented and discussed.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Oto-émissions provoquées: résultats chez le nouveau-né à risque.

Fourty newborns (80 ears) from the intensive care unit were tested with evoked oto-acoustic emission (EOAE). The occurrence of EOAE was 93%.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
