[Pneumocephalus as a complication of mastoid surgery].

Non-traumatic otologic diseases are a rare cause of pneumocephalus. Among them, few reports have been described whereas it occurred following oto-surgery. We present a case report of pneumocephalus in a patient who presented with CSF-otorrhea, headache, disorientation, after recent mastoid radical surgery. The definite diagnosis was done by CT scan imaging. We realize a review of the literature about this subject, we describe the clinical and diagnostic features, its possible physiopathology, and its surgical management.

[Granular cell tumor localized in the glottis].

Granular cell tumor is an unusual tumor of probably neuroectodermal histogenesis, originally reported by Abrikossoff (1926) as a myoblastoma. Of the about 1,200 reported cases since then, 50% are found in the head and neck. Of these, 10% have a laryngeal localization. An infrequent case report of glottic localization which was solved by chirurgical excision with free margins, is presented. The features of the laryngeal presentation, is reviewed and iconography with immunohistochemical techniques of their pathologic characteristics, is showed.

A case report of ear undifferentiated squamous cell carcinoma is presented. The patient complained pain and suppurative ear, which lead to us to practise an exploratory atticotomy, and therefore the tumor was detected on its early stages. It is a very interesting case report due to its unusual localization, and to the early diagnosis to improve the prognosis of these patients.

Pharyngocele is a lateral pharyngeal wall herniation located in the pyriform recess or at the vallecula. It is a rare condition and the patient complains of dysphagia, lateral cervical mass which increases in size with the Valsalva maneuver, and other symptoms of the upper digestive way. The elective diagnostic study is pharyngoesophageal swallow. We present the case report of a patient who had acute respiratory failure due to supraglottic mass occupation. The explorations are discussed and the case report is compared with those few reported in the literature.
