Airway Obstruction

[Gardner's syndrome (author's transl)].

Gardner's syndrome is a dominant autosomal non sex-linked hereditary condition resulting from lesions of all three primary germ layers : ectoderm, entoderm and mesoderm. It therefore includes a variety of symptoms which concern E.N.T. specialists, dermatologists, maxillo-facial surgeons and gastroenterologists, although the present tendency is to recognize the existence of partial or dissociated Gardner's syndromes. The finding of an isolated symptom of the Gardner's series should lead to a systematic search for polyposis of the large bowel, as the latter carries a short- or long-term risk of malignant degeneration which has considerable bearing on prognosis.

Adult

[Deep papillomatosis of the adult and laser (author's transl)].

Adult papillomatosis may be similar to child's papillomatosis or have an exophytic presentation. We describe a third kind of papillomatosis where papillomas tend to grow deep inside the mucosa. Laser seems an effective treatment of this condition which used to lead to tracheostomy and even total laryngectomy.

Adult

[Laser and phonosurgery (author's transl)].

Six patients are presented as examples of investigation and treatment of dysphonic patients in the ENT Department of the Tenon hospital, Paris. Investigations include photography, recording and sometimes sonograms before and after treatment. The multiplication of similar records will eventually show whether laser surgery should be preferred to instrumental surgery.

Adult

[Jugulo-carotid glomus and false glomus tumors. Three cases (author's transl)].

A carotid glomus is, classically, a firm, non-pulsatile tumor situated just behind the carotid bifurcation. Erreurs are possible: -- the tumor may be pulsatile, -- the site impossible to define if the tumor is large. Carotid arteriography is essential, in the case of a glomus tumor showing widening of the carotid bifurcation. Treatment is surgical, with possible ablation or reconstruction of the carotid axis. Such surgery must be performed in a specialized centre.
