We have recently observed fistula symptoms in patients with chronic otitis media, congenital syphilis and many other cochleovestibular disorders of unknown origin.The fistula symptoms were not only horizontal nystagmus, but also vertical nystagmus, rotatory nystagmus and sometimes simple deviation.Since almost all patients in whom fistula symptoms were noted experienced vertigo when their external auditory canals were compressed or decompressed with their own fingers, it is important to ask them about this experience. The incidence is often higher with the finger than with the Politzer bag. It is considered necessary to investigate possible adhesions of the membranous labyrinth to the footplate, which may well be part of the etiology of fistula symptoms.

Twenty-one patients with paranasal sinus disease were studied with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and CT: two with acute in Hammatory sinus disease, seven with chronic inflammatory sinus disease, four with squamous cell carcinomas, two with papillomas, one with malignant lymphoma, and five with mucoceles. In a few cases, no characteristic MRI abnormalities were detected. The distinction between paranasal tumor and in Hammatory mucosa was almost seen in MRI through clearness of periphery, homogeneity of structure, signal intensity, and enhancement by Gd-DTPA. However, there were some exceptions.CT was useful mainly for bone details, and MRI for soft tissue, so CT and MRI provide different information. The use of both CT and MRI is recommended for the correct diagnosis of paranasal sinus disease. CT should be used initially and MRI should be a secondary examination.

Otolaryngologists or allergologists, have only recently become familiar with the term laryngeal allergy or allergic laryngitis. However, laryngeal allergies have become increasingly noteworthy with increases in allergic diseases, such as nasal allergies, asthma and atopic dermatitis. Pollinosis patients allergic to Japanese cedar often complain of itching or the sensation of a foreign body in the larynx, in addition persistent coughing or soreness of the throat. The existence of laryngeal allergy was proven on the basis of study in rats sensitized with Japanese cedar pollen, in previous studies. In the present paper were view the nature, mechanisms, manifestations, differential diagnosis and treatment of laryngeal allergy, both fundamentally and clinically.

We evaluated the efficacy of early treatment by ramatroban and antihistamine in patients with Japanese cedar pollinosis by comparing treatment before the start of the pollen season and treatment after the pollen had been dispersed. A pollinosis diary and Japanese allergic rhinitis standard QOL questionnaire (JRQLQ No. 1 and No. 2) were used to evaluate the effectiveness.Huge amounts of Japanese cedar pollen and Japanese cypress pollen were disseminated in Shiga prefecture in 2005. The nasal symptom score, medication score, and symptom medication score showed better outcomes in the early treatment group not only during the Japanese cedar pollen season but also the Japanese cypress pollen compared to the other group. The early treatment group also showed better results in every category of JRQLQ No. 1 and No. 2 compared with the late treatment group. No harmful side effects were observed through the course of this study.We concluded that early treatment by ramatroban in combination with antihistamine in patients with Japanese cedar pollinosis was useful not only for improving symptoms but also retaining the quality of life during such a heavy pollen-producing year.

The clinical efficacy of ramatroban, a thromboxane A2 receptor antagonist, was investigated in 48 patients who consulted Masutani ENT Clinic in Osaka between January and May, 2001. Medication was administered and groups were stratified by start time.In the peak period for Japanese cedar pollen scattering, the pre-treatment group demonstrated better control of nasal symptoms (sneeze, nasal mucus, and nasal obstruction) than the group that started the medication after Japanese cedar pollen scattering started.Nasal obstruction has also improved by the medication for two weeks in patients who consulted the hospital with nasal obstruction after Japanese cedar and cypress pollen scattering had ended.There were no side effects in any patients during ramatroban treatment.Therefore, ramatroban was considered to be an effective medicine also not only for patients with perennial allergic rhinitis but also for patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis. It was thought that the nasal symptom of the pollen scattering period could be controlled by pre-treatment.

We gave OK-432, a preparation made from a low virulent strain of streptococcus hemolyticus, to 68 patients with head and neck cancer by intramuscular injection and 2 patients were treated with local application. Anatomical site of the tumor in 70 cases was as follows; nose and paranasal sinus 22, nasopharynx 17, base of oral cavity and tongue 14, mesopharynx 8, larynx 6 and miscellaneous 3. We administered OK-432 mainly as an adjuvant immunotherapy after radical surgery or radiotherapy. The daily dose of OK-432 was 0.2KE, then the dose was gradually augmented and the maintenance dose was 3-5KE. The longest duration of OK-432 administration was 3 years and 6 months. We evaluated OK-432 from the point of view of the immunological parameters and the recurrence rate. Complement level (CH50) and tuberculin reactivity were measured as possible indices of the humoral and cell-mediated immune status. “The six stage classification after CH50 and tuberculin reaction” as suggested by Nishioka was employed and an analysis carried out.The results obtained were as follows:1. OK-432 had no tumor-reducing effects in advanced or recurrent cases.2. Immunological findings suggested that OK-432 had prophylactic effects against recurrence and metastasis.3. The recurrence rate of OK-432-treated group was almost the same as that in the control group, however, the recurrence rate of OK-432 and FT-207 treated groups was 26%, this rate being considerably lower than that in the control group. We concluded that adjuvant chemo-immunotherapy was more effective than adjuvant immunotherapy alone for prevention of recurrence and metastasis.

A 25-year-old male produced a continuous high-pitched tone (6.1KHz, 37.2dB SPL) which was not audible to the patient. He had a sensorineural deafness over 1KHz with a dip of 45dB at 6KHz. The sound was considered to be due to a spontaneous oto-acoustic emission.

Spontaneous regression of any malignant tumor is a rare event, occurring in about 1 per 60, 000-100, 000 among the total number of cases of malignant tumor. We report a case of the spontaneous regression of the hypopharyngeal carcinoma with multiple pulmonary metastases.The patient was a 75-year-old man who complained of dysphagia. He was found to have squamous cell carcinoma of the hypopharynx with multiple pulmonary metastases. Since his airway was almost occluded by the tumor, tracheostomy was performed urgently. About two weeks later, while preparing for chemotherapy for the tumor, the primary tumor began to reduce without any treatment. Subsequently not only the primary tumor but also metastatic lesion continued to reduce spontaneously, and about four months later, they disappeared completely.It is thought that elucidation of the mechanisms of spontaneous regression of malignant tumors could possibly lead to a more effective therapy for cancer.

The vibration of the body wall during phonation was measured using accelerationtype pick-ups attached to five different points on the body wall. The voice was recorded simultaneously. The test subjects were 18 amateur singers. Each subject was asked to phonate five Japanese vowels /a/, /i/, /u/, /e/ and /o/ in both trained singing voice (trained voice) and untrained singing voice (untrained voice). This distinction was possible for all subjects after some practice.<BR>Spectral analysis of the body wall vibration was performed. The intensities of the vibration were also analysed with respect to the vibration proportion (VP), which is the ratio of the body wall vibration (G) to the sound pressure level. 'Singing formant'was found not only in the spectral structure of the voice sound but also in that of body wall vibration. The VP of the cheek was greatest with the trained head voice, but it was not so great during the production of trained chest voice. With the untrained voice, there was no difference in the VP among the five locations of the body wall. The VP at the cheek in music students was greater than that of members of a glee club. The difference of VP among five vowels was smaller with the trained voice than with the untrained voice. These results suggest the important role of the vibration of the cheek and great resonance of oral cavity in the trained voice.<BR>Listening tests were also performed. Five vowels of voice sound that had been recorded simultaneously with the vibration of body wall were presented to a group of 18 listeners for identification. Articulation score for trained voices was lower than that for untrained voices. The difference of articulation score among five Japanese vowels was smaller with the trained voice.<BR>These results suggest that the difficulty in perceiving sung vowels arises from 'covering'.

<p>Compensatory hypertrophy of the lingual tonsil can develop after extraction of the palatine tonsil, causing dyspnea and a feeling of suffocation. Sometimes, such patients present with physical airway obstruction, and in some cases, surgical treatment is warranted for the enlarged lingual tonsil. Our patient reported herein presented with inspiratory dyspnea caused by compensatory hypertrophy of the lingual tonsil 20 years after she had undergone enucleation of the palatine tonsil passed after palatine tonsil. We performed extraction of the lingual tonsil using an FK-WO retractor and obtained good results. We present the case herein.</p><p>The patient was a 54-year-old woman who presented to our department with the chief complaint of dysphagia, mild dyspnea and dysphonia. The patient had undergone bilateral palatine tonsil enucleation as treatment for sleep apnea syndrome 20 years earlier. The endoscopic findings at the initial diagnosis consisted of a markedly enlarged lingual tonsil with constriction of the pharyngeal cavity at the site. Moreover, a portion of the enlarged tonsil hung down like a pendulum and invaginated into the glottis during inspiration. The patient was diagnosed as having airway stenosis due to compensatory hypertrophy of the lingual tonsil. Because of the difficulty in intubation caused by the enlarged lingual tonsil, we undertook airway maintenance by tracheotomy and induced general anesthesia of the patient. Then, we carried out resection of the enlarged tonsil by Transoral Video-Laryngoscopic Surgery (TOVS) using the FK-WO retractor. We also resected a portion of the epiglottis, because the transformed epiglottis has already become useless. At present, one year since the surgery, there has been no recurrence of the symptoms and the airway continues to be maintained well too.</p><p>There have been no other case reports of inspiratory airway obstruction caused by hanging down into the airway, like a pendulum, of a part of an enlarged lingual tonsil.</p>

Over the past 9 years, we studied 1090 cases of ABC (aspiration biopsy cytology) and 258 cases of malignant tumor. There were 3 false positive cases (1.2%) and 6 cases (2.3%) of histological misdiagnosis. Although we have not experienced fatal complications yet, we have recognized tuberuculous change in the needle tract after postoperative histology as a case of lymphoadenitis tuberuculosa.A search of the literature has revealed 4 cases of needle tract seeding after large needle biopsy and a case of embolism in the cerebral artery after ABC of head and neck lesions. Fatal complications of ABC were reported in 7 cases.Although the incidence of complication after ABC is not obvious, fatal complications of ABC are very rare in comparison with large needle biopsy and we consider that ABC is a safe method of clinical diagnosis.ABC imposes less burden on patients and differentiation of benign from malignant and identification of the presumable histological type are possible. Therefore, we conclude that ABC can be applied clinically in oto-rhino-laryngology.

Characteristics of hearing disorders due to retro-cochlear lesions have been recognized as disproportionally poor discrimination of speech to the hearing level in pure tone audiometry and disturbances in tone decay test, Bekesy audiometry and binaural hearing test. There have been numerous patients whom we diagnosed as having retro-cochlear hearing loss because they had these characteristic. However, we have encountered quite a few individuals who failed to obtain speech understanding after cochlear implantation (CI) in spite of poor speech discrimination before surgery.From these clinical observations and review of recent literature, it appears that true retro-coc-hlear hearing disorder is far less frequent than we thought and that the retro-cochlear pathway may not have an important role in the process of speech recognition, although the cochlea plays an important role in transforming speech sound into electric signals. The main function of the retrocochlear tract may be to detect the direction of the sound source, as the vestibular tract contributes to equilibrium of the body in a reflex manner.Thus, in perception of speech, the cochlea and the auditory cortex play more important roles than the retro-cochlear pathway does. From the clinical points of view, cochlear implantation can be indicated even for patients who have any discrepancy between the result of pure tone audiometry and speech discrimination test.

Meniere's disease is represented by episodic vertigo (vestibular symptom), tinnitis and hearing loss (cochlear symptom). It is possible to devide patients with Meniere's disease into three groups; those with cochlear and vestibular symptoms starting at the same time, and those with the vestibular symptoms starting before or after cochlear symptoms: In this presentation, we studied the clinical differences of these three groups. The following results were obtained.1. In the case of cochlear Meniere's disease, the cochlear symptom is slight and it is easy to acquire the vestibular symptom. The cause of cochlear Meniere's disease was considered to be the existence of endolymphatic hydrops. Compared with frequency of bilateral Meniere's disease, bilateral cochlear Meniere's disease was more found.2. In the case of vestibular Meniere's disease, the vestibular symptom is slight and it is difficult to acquire the cochlear symptom. The cause of vestibular Meniere's disease, in all cases was not considered to be the existence of endolymphatic hydrops.3. In the case of Meniere's disease with vestibular symptoms starting after the cochlear symptoms, both the vestibular symptoms and cochlear symptoms are heavy. In the case of Meniere's disease with vestibular symptoms starting before the cochlear symptoms, both symptoms are slight.

Actinomycosis is a chronic purulent granulomatous disease caused by actinomyces, an organism which is often present in man. Patients with a chronic clinical course have been on the increase in recent years, and differentiating this disease from tumor is often necessary when the mass is in facial and cervical regions other than the oral cavity and jaw. We report two cases of actinomycosis in the face and neck.Case 1: A 54-year-old man complained of a swelling in the anterior part of the neck. A mass 65 × 70 mm with redness of the skin was noted at his first visit. The mass was of platelike consistency with a smooth surface closely adherent to the surrounding tissue. The tuberculin test was negative. A malignant tumor was considered, so percutaneous needle biopsy was performed, but no significant abnormality was found. Antibiotics were given by drip infusion, and the mass disintegrated. Yellow viscous pus containing light gray granules was discharged to form a fistula.Case 2: A 40-year-old man developed a swelling in the left cheek. A ping pong ball-sized mass of plate-like consistency with redness was noticed at his first visit. A fistula formed in the oral cavity on the left, and pus was discharged from it. Plain CT revealed an isodense lesion in the left cheek, with no connection to the maxillary sinus.Actinomyces is anaerobic, so it was not detected by culture in either case. Histopathological examinations of actinomycotic granules was useful in the diagnosis.The treatment consists mainly of drainage by incision of the lesion and administration of antibiotics, especially penicillin.
