RESUMEN

Race is a known epidemiologic determinant for the development of otitis media. This study assessed the severity of otitis media in a subpopulation (N = 73; mean age, 13.2 years) receiving care from the ear clinic in the Republic of Palau, a US Trust Territory, through a questionnaire and an otologic examination. The mean age of patients with otorrhea (2.5 years) was found to be significantly different from the mean age at which they began to swim (4 years). Otitis media-related sequelae were found to involve more than half of ears or subjects examined. No statistical difference was noted when various patient characteristics were compared with the severity of disease. Our clinical impression is that this subpopulation is severely affected by otitis media and its sequelae. Prospective studies are required to identify risk factors present in the population at large.

RESUMEN

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in children is commonly caused by adenotonsillar hypertrophy. The diagnostic criteria of OSAS in children are not so well delineated as in adults. We report the first case of antral choanal polyp presenting as OSAS in a 10-year-old boy that initially presented to the child psychiatry service for behavior disturbance, enuresis, and daytime somnolence. Overnight electroencephalogram sleep study revealed events consistent with OSAS. Multiple inhalant allergies, chronic maxillary sinusitis, and obstructive adenoid hypertrophy were diagnosed by the allergy and otolaryngology services. The child was scheduled for adenoidectomy when his sleep apnea symptoms persisted following antimicrobial therapy. Examination under anesthesia revealed a normal adenoid bed and a large left antral choanal polyp. Polypectomy was performed as dictated by parental consent. Postoperatively treatment with an intranasal steroid was begun. However, polypoid nasal mucosa recurred in 2 months and a Caldwell-Luc procedure was performed. Subjective reports following surgery indicated improvement in daytime irritability, attention, and mood. A follow-up overnight electroencephalogram sleep study confirmed resolution of OSAS.

RESUMEN

A multidisciplinary approach to the study of a family with autosomal dominant sensorineural hearing loss is presented. The affected family members underwent extensive clinical and laboratory evaluation. They were found to have various degrees of bilateral congenital inner ear anomalies as imaged by computed tomography. The degree of structural abnormalities in the inner ears correlated with the severity of hearing impairment. Vestibular testing revealed nonspecific abnormalities generally correlating with audiologic and radiographic findings. This report presents a unique form of sensorineural hearing loss not previously described and is the first in-depth clinical study of nonsyndromal "Mondini dysplasia" occurring in a family.

RESUMEN

Focal myositis is an inflammatory pseudotumor of skeletal muscle that may involve the head and neck. It can closely mimic either a neoplastic or infectious process. We present the case of a 7-year-old boy with a 2-week history of a painful, unilateral neck swelling, fever, and torticollis. He failed to respond to antibiotic therapy and required an open neck exploration. An incisional biopsy of the indurated, inflammatory tissue adherent to his sternocleidomastoid muscle showed focal myositis. Focal myositis is an unusual, but important possibility in the differential diagnosis of any neck mass and especially one in a child. Although its cause is unknown, it is a self-limited disease and neither excisional biopsy nor radical resection is justified.

RESUMEN

Standard laryngotracheal reconstructive procedures are constrained by the availability of grafting materials and the ability to repair large defects. Reconstruction utilizing alloplasts may be ideal, but previous results have generally been poor. We present a two-stage procedure using Proplast to reconstruct large laryngotracheal defects in 6 dogs. A custom-made Proplast implant was inserted into a strap muscle pocket and buccal mucosa was placed in the adjacent peritracheal tissue. The muscle-Proplast composite graft was rotated to repair a large defect (3.25 cm by 2.25 cm). All 6 dogs survived. Endoscopic and histologic studies over 12 months showed continued stabilization and maturation of the implant. We feel that Proplast may be used as an alternative to autograft for reconstructing large laryngotracheal defects when the procedure is staged to allow maximal fibrous ingrowth and the implant is protected from infection.

RESUMEN

A double-blind randomized clinical trial was conducted at two sites comparing amoxicillin-clavulanate potassium (Augmentin) and amoxicillin trihydrate for the treatment of otitis media with effusion ("secretory otitis media"). One hundred eight subjects were randomly assigned to receive a ten-day course of either drug regimen. Clinical response was assessed at ten days and four weeks after entry. For those without middle ear effusion at four weeks, recurrence rates were measured at 8, 12, and 16 weeks after entry. At ten days following entry, 29 (51.8%) of 56 subjects in the amoxicillin-clavulanate-treated group were effusion free compared with 16 (32.0%) of 50 subjects in the amoxicillin-treated group (P = .06). At four weeks following entry, 26 (50.0%) of 50 subjects in the amoxicillin-clavulanate-treated group were effusion free compared with 23 (51.1%) of 45 subjects in the group given amoxicillin. By the 16-week visit, eight (36.4%) of 22 subjects in the amoxicillin-clavulanate-treated group who were effusion free at four weeks had recurrence of effusion, compared with 12 (63.2%) of 19 subjects in the amoxicillin-treated group. This study suggests that there was a favorable clinical response immediately following treatment in the amoxicillin-clavulanate--treated subjects as compared with those treated with amoxicillin, but this benefit was not sustained at the four-week end point.
