ENDOSCOPIC SURGERY OF THE ANTERIOR ETHMOIDAL ARTERY IN EPISTAXIS: DESCRIPTION OF THE TECHNIQUE AND RESULTS

Epistaxis is one of the most common otorhinolaryngological emergencies. Most cases are self-limiting and do not require medical support. While some bleeds require simple local compression to stop the bleeding, others require a more invasive approach, such as ligation or cauterization of the...

ANALYSIS OF THE CONCHAL BOWL DEPTH IN PROMINENT EARS PRE AND POST OTOPLASTY

The prominent ear is the most common congenital ear disorder. Some of its discovered features include the overdeveloped concha and the underdeveloped antihelix. The present study focuses on the analysis of the conchal bowl, while assessing its depth before and after otoplasty. Despite its...

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PRE- AND POSTOPERATIVE ANTHROPOMETRIC MEASUREMENTS OF PATIENTS SUBMITTED TO RHINOPLASTY

Facial anthropometry has an important role in rhinoplasty, as it makes palpable for surgeons the irregularities they deal with, while also assisting in the choice of the tools to correct them. Thus, the aim of the present study was to determine the pre- and postoperative nasal anthropometric...

STUDY OF OTOACOUSTIC EMISSIONS AS AN ADJUVANT IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF ENDOLYMPHATIC HYDROPS

Endolymphatic hydrops (EH) results from increased endolymph volume in the inner ear, which leads to episodic vertigo, ear fullness, and sensorineural hearing loss. In these patients, Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential (VEMP) examination has high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis. These...
