Bilateral Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss after Treatment of Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage by Angiographic Embolization: A Case Report

Bilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss is a rare otologic emergency and constitutes 0.44%-4.9% of overall sudden sensorineural hearing loss cases. Microvascular dysfunction secondary to systemic cardiovascular diseases, such as embolism, vasospasm, and hypercoagulability, is the main cause of non-idiopathic bilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss. In this study, a case of bilateral sudden sensorineural hearing that occurred after angiographic embolization for treatment of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage was presented as a rare clinical condition

Cervico-Thoracic Giant Lipoma in a Child

Lipomas are benign mesenchymal tumors that can be observed all over the body. In total, 25% of lipomas are observed in the head and neck region, and most of them are located in the posterior cervical triangle. Lipomas that are greater than 10 cm in width or more than 1000 g in weight are called giant tumors. Cervico– thoracic lipomas are extremely rare, and only four cases have been reported in the English literature. We report successful surgical excision of a giant lipoma, which started from middle-anterior cervical region covered the anterior cervical triangle, and extended to the mediastinum, without thoracotomy

Cervico-Thoracic Giant Lipoma in a Child

Lipomlar vücudun her yerinde görülebilen benign mezenkimal tümörlerdir. Lipomların %25'i baş-boyun bölgesinde görülür ve bunların çoğu posterior servikal üçgende yerleşir. On cm'den daha uzun veya 1000 gramdan daha ağır olan lipomlara dev lipom denir. Servikotorasik lipomlar oldukça nadirdir ve şu ana kadar literatürde dört olgu bildirilmiştir. Bu raporda biz, orta juguler üçgenden başlayıp ön servikal üçgene ve mediastinuma uzanan dev bir lipomun torakotomi yapılmadan başarılı bir şekilde eksizyonunu sunduk.Lipomas are benign mesenchymal tumors that can be observed all over the body.

Effect of statins on hearing function and subjective tinnitus in hyperlipidemic patients

Introduction. It is known that hyperlipidemia reduces hearing functions. In this study, we aimed to study the effect of antihyperlipidemic drugs on hearing functions and tinnitus

Sialolipoma of the Submandibular Gland

Sialolipom; intraoral yerleşimli lipom varyantı olarak tanımlanan, nadir görülen benign bir tümördür. Tümör, etrafı ince kapsüllü, matür adipozit ve normal tükrük bezi dokusundan oluşmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, 55 yaşında, bayan bir hastada submandibuler gland yerleşimli sialolipom olgusu sunuldu.Sialolipom is a rare benign tumor, defined as the variant of intraoral lipoma. Tumour is completely surrounded by thin fibrous capsule and consisted of mature adipocytes and normal salivary gland tissue. In here, we present a 55 years old female patient with submandibular gland located sialolipoma

Can Platelet and Leukocyte Indicators Give Us an Idea about Distant Metastasis in Nasopharyngeal Cancer?

This study aimes to evaluate platelet and leucocyte indicators, such as the mean platelet volume, platelet distribution width, plateletcrit, white blood cell count, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio in nasopharyngeal cancer patients and also to evaluate the relationship between these indicators and nasopharyngeal cancer with distant metastasis. The medical records of 118 patients diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer in our hospital between January 2006 and August 2015 were reviewed. The nasopharyngeal cancer group was further sub grouped according to the presence or absence of distant metastasis and TNM (tumour – T, node – N, metastasis – M) classification. A control group consisted of 120 healthy patients. The platelet and leucocyte values at the time of the initial diagnosis were recorded. Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and platelet distribution width values were significantly higher in the nasopharyngeal cancer group. But only platelet distribution width values were significantly higher in the nasopharyngeal cancer group with distant metastasis compared to the nasopharyngeal cancer group without distant metastasis. Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and platelet distribution width values may increase in nasopharyngeal cancer. But only the platelet distribution width values may give us an idea about the distant metastasis in nasopharyngeal cancer
