Computerized tomographic evaluation of the middle ear and mastoid for posttraumatic hearing loss.

High resolution computerized tomography has been proven valuable in all aspects of temporal bone study. The importance of the procedure in evaluation of traumatic lesions, particularly of the middle ear, has been underemphasized. Damage to the middle ear may occur with blunt trauma, penetrating injury, or barotrauma. Conductive hearing loss and/or CSF otorrhea may result. Detailed evaluation of the ossicles is the hallmark of properly performed computerized tomographic evaluation.

Hypoparathyroidism secondary to surgery for carcinoma of the pharynx and larynx.

Hypoparathyroidism occurs secondary to surgery for carcinoma of the pharynx and larynx in which a total thyroidectomy is required. The indications for partial and total thyroidectomy are presented. Hypoparathyroidism is an important and complex problem with the clinical presentation ranging from tetany to latent chronic hypoparathyroidism. Serum calcium, phosphate, magnesium, and protein levels are important parameters to monitor. A therapeutic strategy is presented and its complications are discussed. The role of magnesium in calcium metabolism is emphasized.
