[Tongue necrosis as onset of temporal arteritis].

The Horton's disease is a generalized vascular affectation, characterized by a giant cell arteritis. Medium and small caliber arteries are the most frequently affected, mainly of the craneal vascular territory, in particular the collateral branches of the external carotid, and artery in special the superficial temporal artery. We present a case of lingual necrosis as debut of the Horton's disease that has been diagnosed and treated in our ENT Department.

[Bilateral aneurysm of the internal carotid artery and thrombosis of the jugular vein. Case report].

Extracranial carotid artery aneurysms is a very odd pathology which first sign usually is a neck mass. At present the arteriosclerosis is considered its main source and surgery is promoted as its regular treatment, but each case must be managed according the distinct peculiarities showed. This paper reports the clinic and radiological features of a woman diagnosed of bilateral carotid aneurysm with the addition of a thrombosis check afterwards of the left jugular vein. Because of the rarity of this case think justified the record. A bibliographical perusal of this singular entity accompanies the article.

[Otitic hydrocephalus. A report of two cases].

Otitic hydrocephalus is one the less common intracranial complications of infectious ear disease, consisting of elevated intracranial pressure without focal neurologic abnormalities other than those due to the elevated pressure. Two representatives cases is discussed in this report, followed by a review of the literature. The clinical course, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis are outlined. The etiology and the association with lateral sinus thrombosis remains obscure.

[Neck phlebectasia].

Neck phlebectasia is an infrequent anomaly of the venous system, possibly a congenital condition, becoming apparent as a neck mass triggered by the Valsalva maneuver or any other exploratory afford with closed nose. Commonly localized in the jugular venous system, although it can turn-up, the ectasia, to other cervicofacial veins. In this paper are reported 3 neck phlebectasis including one of them affecting the anterior facial vein, occurrence exceedingly uncommon, of which case we don't know even a single reference in the literature. We make a perusal of the subject's bibliography and also discuss the clinic, diagnostic and therapeutical most important features of this entity.

[Hemilaryngectomy of the supracricoid: experience of 58 cases. (Follow-up study for 5 years)].

In the supracricoid hemilaryngectomy the wing of the thyroid and its internally related structures are resected. This is widely used in T2 glottic tumour. Some writers describe its use in limited ventricularis lesions. We have frequently used this technique in both types of lesions. In this paper 58 cases of patients operated on between 1974 and 1986 are reviewed, giving a follow-up period of more than five years. The results obtained, both oncological and functional, are good enough to make this technique basic in the treatment of laryngeal cancer.

[Partial horizonto-vertical laryngectomy: experience of 44 cases (follow up of more than five years].

The horizontal-vertical partial laryngectomy combines supraglottic and hemilaryngeal excisions of one side of the larynx and is indicated, as first choice, in the supraglottic tumours with unilateral glotoaryntenoid involvement. We have followed this theory and practice since 1974, and have studied 44 patients operated on using this technique up to 1986, who have now (1992) been followed up for more than five years. Analysis of the results shows the number of patients alive and free of tumour, and the number of decannulations, to be sufficiently high for the recommendation of this technique in the treatment of such tumours.
