The AA. study the mucociliary transport time resorting to the vegetable coal dust method, in 64 individuals suffering seasonal allergic rhinitis, during the pollinosis epoch (1991-1992). This collective was divided in two groups according to the presence of hidrorrhea at examination: those subjects in whom the disease was considered in activity or inactive. The results were compared with those resulting from a group of other 130 healthy people. The conclusion drawn out is that the full high moment of the seasonal allergic rhinitis influences the cessation or the cancellation of the mucociliary function. The halt of the rhinohidrorrhea clearly improves the mucociliary clearance but without attaining its normalization during the pollinosis epoch.

We report a case of hemangiopericytoma with simultaneous affectation of soft palate and mediastinum in a 46-year-old male. We describe the outstanding histologic features of this uncommon tumor, as well as its treatment and evolution. This case had a 5-year survival in spite of pulmonary metastases. We also reviewed the literature and discussed this rare clinical presentation of hemangiopericytoma.

Shallow lesions of the glottis spreading to both sides of the middle line (T1b) have special characteristics under the viewpoint of its resection, because of the neighbourhood of the anterior commissure. Frontal and frontolateral techniques require a reconstructive step in order to avoid synechiae. The AA. report 35 cases with glottis reconstruction following several procedures: skin pedicled flap or epiglottoplasty. As the results almost the totality of the laryngectomees were "cured" after 5 years follow-up, and a high percentage of them free of tracheostomy tube.
