Epiglottic abscess: its occurrence and management.

Twenty-six cases of epiglottic abscess from the English literature are reviewed. The condition occurs nearly exclusively in adults and it has a high mortality rate (30 per cent). The lingual surface of the epiglottis is most commonly involved and less than half of the patients present with severe airway obstruction. The management of the condition is dictated by the degree of airway obstruction.

Malignant tumors of the salivary glands.

The incidence of malignant salivary gland tumors is influenced by geographic and racial factors. Some etiological aspects and diagnostic pitfalls are discussed. The treatment of salivary gland malignancies is primarily surgical but the extent of the surgery should be dependent on the availability and application of routine postoperative high or supervoltage radiotherapy on a "regional" basis of invasive low-grade and all high-grade malignant tumors.

Surgical management of bilateral vocal cord paralysis.

Fifty-five patients with bilateral abductor paralysis of the vocal cords were managed surgically from 1957 to 1973. Initially, unilateral arytenoidectomy or arytenoidopexy was employed. If this was not satisfactory, a contralateral arytenoidectomy was performed 6 to 12 months later. If the patient's airway was still inadequate, then open unilateral submucous resection of the vocal cord was accomplished. Initial management was successful in 62 patient (34/55) of patients, and 50 to 55 patients (91 percent) were eventually decannulated. Failure of the arytenoidectomy appeared to be related to traumatic etiology of the bilateral paralysis presence of previous treatment, and technical problems of the procedure itself.

Identification of the facial nerve in parotid surgery.

A short outline of anatomical relations leads to a discussion of the various techniques of facial nerve identification as they present in the literature. Particular attention was given to a relatively unknown technique that has served as a valuable manoeuvre in 14 consecutive cases of superficial parotidectomy.
