[Use of ventilation by oxygen injection in laryngeal microsurgery].

Thirty patients with a laryngeal polyp or other tumour, were operated on under the microscope. During the operation, which lasted from 10 to 30 minutes, ventilation was ensured by injection of oxygen at 3 to 4 atmospheric pressures through a naso-tracheal catheter. Anaesthesia was obtained by an association of propanidide, small doses of analgesic and succinycholine, constant rate syringes were used for maintenance of narcosis and curarisation. In 23 patients, blood gases were analysed at various stages of the operation permitting one to assess the quality of the ventilation carried out. In a few patients, it was also possible to record pressure curves in the trachea. The results were excellent, both concerning the quality of the ventilation and that of the anaesthesia together with the operative conditions. After recalling the main characteristics of this mode of ventilation which uses Venturi's principle, the authors expose the other methods which are variants compared with their technique of use of this procedure for laryngeal micro-surgery.

[Intermittent rheumatism revealing a familial syndrome. Arthritis--urticarian eruptions--deafness: Muckle-Wells syndrome without kidney amylosis].

At a consultation with a 31-year-old man, motivated by painful episodes of joint pain that had started considerably earlier, a familial disease entity was discovered that included the three clinical signs of the Muckle and Wells syndrome : urticarial eruption, intermittent pain in the limbs originating in the joints, and bilateral deafness of perception. In spite of the absnece of renal amylosis, the similarity of the characteristics of these three elements, as well as the nature of the biochemical disturbances, and the mode of transmission, led the authors to consider these observations in the contest of this syndrome. The joint manifestations being indicative, the signs of this intermittent rheumatism are described, as well as the characteristics of the other disorders.

[Deafness in the Muckle-Wells syndrome].

Typical of the syndrome described by Muckle and Wells is a combination of progressive perceptive deafness appearing at various ages in a family, but usually at the same age in the same family, arthralgia, urticarious eruption and renal amyloidosis. The existence of incomplete forms, either without deafness or without renal amyloidosis should be known. This perceptive deafness is very probably due to lesion of the internal ear but the histological characteristics do not seem to be very clear at the present time. Finally, as certain of our observations show, in a few cases, conduction may be impaired, either in isolation, or associated with impairment of perception. Only an analysis of a large number of cases will enable the audiological characteristics of this curious syndrome to be defined.
