RESUMO
Background: Intraductal carcinoma is a rare low grade neoplasm of salivary glands with an excellent prognosis. It most frequently occurs in the parotid gland. Ectopic localizations are quite rare. Methods: This case report describes a man in his 60's who was referred to ear, nose and throat outpatient department with 1-month history of painless swelling of the right parotid region. Results: Ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration unveiled a cytologic specimen judged as "suspicious for malignancy" and patient underwent a partial superficial parotidectomy. Immunohistochemistry confirmed diagnosis of intraductal carcinoma of right parotid gland. Conclusions: There are few reported cases concerning this clinical entity following thorough review of the literature and recent developments with reference to the contribution of cytology and histopathology will probably modify its classification and management.

Hypoglossal nerve stimulation is an alternative treatment for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in patients intolerant to CPAP. The INSPIRE system (unilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulation) available since 2014 and the NYXOAH system (bilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulation) available since 2019 help to treat OSAS via activation of the genioglossus muscle causing protrusion of the tongue during sleep. We present in this article the two types of hypoglossal nerve stimulators through a recent review of the literature.
La stimulation du nerf hypoglosse est un traitement alternatif du syndrome d'apnées obstructives du sommeil (SAOS) chez des patients intolérants à la CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure). Le système INSPIRE (stimulation unilatérale du nerf hypoglosse) disponible depuis 2014, et le système NYXOAH (stimulation bilatérale du nerf hypoglosse), disponible depuis 2019, permettent de traiter le SAOS via une activation du muscle génioglosse, provoquant une protrusion de la langue pendant le sommeil. Nous présentons dans cet article les 2 types de stimulateur du nerf hypoglosse à travers une revue récente de la littérature.

Globus pharyngeus or globus sensation is an ordinary ENT referral. It comprises a persistent or intermittent painless feeling of a lump or foreign body in the throat and may be outlined as a tightening or choking sensation. It is usually long-lasting and has a tendency to recur. There are no established guidelines concerning diagnosis or treatment. History and clinical examination represent essential elements as they enable the practitioner to narrow the differential diagnosis and consider red flags. Therapeutic trial using PPI is recommended as initial first line treatment in the absence of red flags and paraclinical assessment can be proposed in nonresponsive patients. Management of this clinical condition consists of reassurance and offering speech therapy for refractory cases.
Le globus pharyngé est une plainte fréquente en consultation ORL. Il est défini comme une sensation, généralement chronique, de masse, blocage ou corps étranger persistant ou intermittent dans la gorge. Il n'existe pas de standards clairs concernant son diagnostic ou son traitement. L'anamnèse et l'examen clinique sont des éléments essentiels puisqu'ils permettent d'affiner les diagnostics différentiels et d'envisager une origine oncologique en présence de drapeaux rouges (tabagisme, consommation alcoolique). En l'absence de facteurs de risque, un traitement d'épreuve par IPP (inhibiteurs de la pompe à protons) est la première ligne de traitement. En l'absence d'amélioration, on peut proposer un bilan paraclinique. La prise en charge thérapeutique consiste à rassurer le patient et lui proposer des séances de logopédie pour les cas sévères.
