Cases introduced byDr Essam Abdel Nabi

1. A 12 years old male came to ENT clinic complaining of severeepistaxis from the nose especially when he tries to play in his nose,

and the bleeding don't stop by itself. On examination of the nose,

there was a big mass occluding the whole cavity.

a. What is your diagnosis? Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma.

b.What is the most striking symptom?

The epistaxis, that may be sever to end his life.c. What is the most important precaution you should take it? Never touch or manipulate this mass to avoid a new attack of epistaxis.

N.B: In the past, the Pt. of an angiofibroma was applied to radiotherapy to induce

fibrosis of the mass for treatment.

But now obsolete because of the high risk of developing carcinoma especiallybecause the angiofibroma usually appears in adolescents.

But now:MRA (MRI + Angiography) done to visualize the feeding artery and then

Induce thrombosis of the feeding artery to avoid bleeding during the operation.

2. A 40 years old obese woman came to ENT clinic, complaining ofmultiple arousals at night after attacks of apnea & her husband also

complains from hearing abnormal noise while she is sleeping. The

examination of the oropharynx reveals elongated uvula.

a. What are the causes of apnea in general?


11/21

11


b. What is the cause of apnea in this case? This obese woman develops apnea due to obstruction of her

nasopharynx by the redundant palate & elongated uvula.

3. A 29 years old man, complaining of bilateral epistaxis with severepain following severe trauma to his nose. By the x-ray there was

fracture nose.

a. What are the causes of epistaxis?

b. What is the position that you must put the pt in during the attack? The Pt. should lean forward to prevent swallowing of the blood, as

the Pt. may develop hypovolemic shock from the blood loss & swallowing

blood on full stomach may irritate it, stimulating vomiting so the Pt.

develops neurogenic shock .

4. A 35 years old man came to ENT clinic complaining of inability toclose his right eye & also from deviation of the angel of mouth to the

left side. After examination we show that the patient had done

cortical mastoidectomy on ttt of chronic otitis media & aural polyp.

a. What is your diagnosis? Right complete facial paralysis.b. What is the cause? This paralysis may be a complication of the operation.

5. A middle aged woman complaining of pain in the right ear & vertigo,ear examination revealed post auricular scar of previous operation

done for the treatment of Cholesteatoma, the middle ear ossicles

are removed during the operation.

a. What is the cause of vertigo & pain?


12/21

12


Removal of the ossicles results in formation of radical cavity "themiddle ear cavity communicate with the mastoid" so exposure of the

lateral canal in the radical cavity make it sensitive to weather changes

causing "vertigo & pain ".

6. A 35 years old woman came to the ENT clinic complaining of tinnitus& diminution of hearing in the left ear. But on examination, there was

intact tympanic membrane.

a. What is the cause of hearing loss? With intact drum the diminution of hearing may be due to (Otosclerosis

or SNHL).

By the Weber & Rinne tests you can differentiate If Rinne ve & Weber lateralized to the ear of hearing loss

Otosclerosis.

b. What is the type of deafness in this condition? CHL.

7. A 29 years old male came to ENT clinic complaining of hoarseness ofvoice, on examination of the nose, there was a huge mass occupying

the whole right side of the nose.

a. That is the probable diagnosis of this mass? The nasal mass is a rhinoscleroma.b. What is the cause of the hoarseness of voice? Laryngeoscleroma secondary to rhinoscleroma.c. Why this case is not a classical laryngeoscleroma? As the Laryngeoscleroma affects the subglottic area and obstruct the

lumen so the 1st symptom should appear is the stridor not hoarseness

of voice. But in this case the hoarseness precedes the stridor.

8. A middle aged female complaining of chronic otitis media which isresistant to treatment with antibiotics.

a. How to manage this case? Culture & sensitivity of the discharge but after stopping the antibiotics

for 3 days to ensure presence of the organism in the discharge.

9. A 45 years old female complaining of swelling in her face, onexamination it was filling the area between the ramus of themandible & the mastoid process and raising the lobule of the ear.

a. What is your diagnosis? Parotid swelling.

10.A 35 years old male complaining of bilateral nasal obstruction withcomplaint of snoring & multiple attacks of sleep apnea, history showsthat he has allergy. On examinations there were multiple nasal

masses.

a. What is your diagnosis? Allergic nasal polypi.

11.A middle aged male came to ENT clinic complaining of pain anddysphagia. On examination, there was a membrane covering the right

tonsil.

a. What is the differential diagnosis of a membrane in the throat? DD of a membrane in the throat = DD of ulcers in the throat. As any

ulcer in the throat will be covered by a membrane.


14/21

14


N.B:Acute follicular tonsillitis is presented bilaterally.

12.A female patient presented to ENT clinic complaining of neck swellingthat moves up & down with deglutition.

a. What is your diagnosis? Thyroid swelling.

13.A female patient presented to ENT clinic complaining of neck swellingmove with protrusion of the tongue.

a. What is your diagnosis? Thyroglossal cyst.

14.A 50 years old male came to ENT clinic complaining of hoarseness ofvoice & multiple attacks of sleep apnea, he runs to the window to takehis breath. From history, we found that he suffer from hyperacidity.

a. What is your diagnosis? It is a typical case of reflux oesophagitis Acidity from the reflux in the post cricoid area cause :

Reflex spasm of the vocal cord by irritation Stridor. With long contact with acids sever irritation VC polyps

Hoarseness of voice.

Cases introduced byDr Mahmmoud Fawzi

1. A 71 years old male, chronic heavy smoker came to ENT cliniccomplaining of hoarsenessof voice since 4 months. He denied any problem indeglutition. On examination, there was a mass occupying the whole left vocal cord,

reaching the anterior commeasurealso extends to the right vocal cord.

a. What is your diagnosis? Cancer larynx (Squamous Cell Carcinoma of vocal cords).b. What is your management? Investigations:

Direct laryngescopy to see "site, size, and extension of thetumor".

CT scan to show the cartilage invasion. Biopsy for insurance & staging.

Treatment: According to the stage:

o It was left glottic T2a N0. So partial laryngectomy with temporary tracheostomy is indicated &

follow up of the Pt. for 5 years.

No radical neck dissection as the glottic area has no lymphatic drainage.


17/21

17


N.B:

5 years survival is an indicator for the success of the operation. CT scan is the standard technique of imaging in the head & neck.

2. A 42 years old male complaining of hypertrophy of the left ala of nose& the area around it. It is of short duration a month ago & it is slowly

progressive. From the CT scan there was opacity in the left maxillary

sinus.

a. What is the most probable diagnosis? Benign mass in the alveolar region causing 2ry mucosal oedema in the

maxillary sinus produces hypertrophy around the ala of nose this

appears from the CT scan.

3. A 24 years old female came to ENT clinic complaining of severe facialpain & headache, also complaining of proptosis & orbital cellulites which

don't respond completely to antibiotics .from the CT scan we noticed a

dense mass occupying the frontal & ethmoid sinuses.

a. What is your diagnosis? Osteoma in the frontal & ethmoid sinuses.b. What do you think the cause of orbital cellulites? It may be because the mass occluding the opening of the frontal sinus

secondary infection secondary mucocele.

c. What is the line of treatment?


18/21

18


Excisional biopsy through (Nasal endoscopy, Open incision through medialwall of the orbit "lamina parpratia" or Coronal incision through eye brow).

N.B: Biopsy: never starts ttt of cancer without taking biopsy and by the least

invasive measure.

N.B: Pan Coast tumor: the 1stsign produced by is left vocal cord paralysis.

4. A 40 years old male complaining of left unilateral hearing loss of amonth duration by examination of the ear there was otitis media with

effusion while examination of the nasopharynx shows mass occupying

fossa of Rosen-Muller.

a. What is the most probable cause of this case? Nasopharyngeal tumor occluding the ET.

N.B: Otitis media with effusion is a disease of children when comes in adult may

be due to obstruction of the ET by nasopharyngeal tumor.

Soany adult Pt. complaining of OM with effusion & CHL

Suspect nasopharyngeal tumor until proved otherwise.

b. How to manage this case?Neck examination.Cranial nerve examination.

Biopsy "Under L.A with endoscope".Staging.


19/21


20/21

Inability to swallow.Enlargement of upper deep cervical lymph node.

N.B: If there is tonsillitis with rheumatic fever

For ttt:

Give long acting penicillin. Do tonsillectomy if there is recurrence.
