Frontoethmoidal fractures as a result of war injuries.

Ninety frontoethmoidal fractures, as a result of war injuries from 1991 to 1994, produced 0.7% of all war injuries (i.e., 9% of head and neck injuries treated in the Military Medical Academy, Belgrade). These injuries were mainly part of complex endocranial, orbital, and zygomaticomaxillary injuries, and were rarely isolated. The central part of these injuries were in the ethmoidal region, which was isolatedly injured in 23.3% of the cases. There was 53.3% injuries with small fragments of explosive devices inside the wound, and 16.7% of through-and-through wounds were caused by sniper bullets. The priority over all definitive operative procedures belonged to osteoplasties whenever possible, because the primary goal was protection of life. About 3.3% of the patients died because of severe hemorrhagic shock and endocranial injury. There was only one case of recurrent meningitis. Most of the patients had multiple injuries and were mutually operated on by two different surgical teams.

[Sudden sensorineural hearing loss of unknown origin].

The study presents the results of a ten year experience in the treatment of abrupt hearing loss of unknown etiology in 248 patients. More successful treatment was achieved in patients with lesser degree of perceptive hearing reduction and those showing no vestibular symptomatology. A decisive factor for a favourable hearing recovery is time between the onset of the disease and the beginning of the therapy. Having this in mind, the authors insist on early diagnosis and early administration of drugs affecting the inner ear perfusion.

[Obstructing lesions of the trachea following tracheotomy].

Within the last four years 8 patients with tracheal stenosis were treated at the ORL Clinic of the M.M.A. The sites of stenosis were at the site of tracheostome, anterior and lateral tracheal walls and circular stenosis of the whole tracheal lumen. Two patients had combined stenosis of trachea and tracheostome. The authors have applied combined palliative surgical interventions without radical approaches but with the employment of longer passive dilatation. Six patients were cured, the complete decannilman was performed, one patient quitted the treatment while one is still under treatment.

[Transnasal transsphenoidal approach to pituitary adenomas].

The results of transnasal transsphenoidal surgery of pituitary adenomas were retrospectively analyzed in a group of 42 patients, 22 females and 20 males, aged 19-70, of average age 43 years. Histopathological examination showed null-cell adenomas in 4, growth-cell in 11, prolactin-cell in 3, adrenocorticotropin-cell in 6, plurihormonal adenomas in 6, craniopharingeoma in 1, metastasis of pulmonary carcinoma in 1, pituitary abscess in 1, and normal pituitary tissue in 9 cases, respectively. Out of 30 patients with adenomas, 21 had macro (> 1 cm) and 9 had microadenomas (< 1 cm). Cerebrospinal fluid leakage (8.7%) and meningitis (6.5%) were the most frequent postoperative complications. There was no operative mortality. Full adenoma recurrence (clinical, hormonal, and radiological) was found in 3, clinical and hormonal in 3, hormonal and radiological in 1, and radiological in 2 patients, respectively. The repeated transsphenoidal surgery was performed in 4 patients. The transnasal transsphenoidal approach is the procedure of choice for surgical treatment pituitary adenomas.
