Metastatic tumours in the maxillary sinus. A report of two cases and a review of the literature.

We present two further cases of metastasis in the antrum. A review of the literature reveals renal carcinoma as the commonest primary tumour. When an adenocarcinoma of the antrum is diagnosed, an intravenous pyelogram should be performed to exclude a renal primary. This investigation, if negative, should be repeated during follow-up. The possibility of a bronchial tumour should be investigated in patients with an anaplastic tumour in the antrum.

Low dose amiodarone in refractory tachyarrhythmias.

Fifty patients with drug resistant tachyarrhythmias were treated with amiodarone for 6-22 months; 16 for recurrent ventricular tachycardia (VT), 2 for VT followed by ventricular fibrillation (VF), 14 for complex ventricular ectopics, and 18 for supraventricular tachyarrhythmias (SVT). Amiodarone was administered in a dose much lower than that used in western trials. The actual incidence of successful amiodarone therapy was 81.2% at 22 months for patients with VT. Among the patients with SVT, 88.6% patients were successfully treated for 22 months (range 3-22 months). Amiodarone toxicity appeared in 22 of 50 patients (44%) treated for more than 12 weeks. Withdrawal of therapy was required in 4 patients. Despite the lower dose, clinical efficacy and onset of action were comparable to the western experience.
