Oral contraceptive pills and clinical otosclerosis.

Clinical otosclerosis is a familial disease which is more frequent among women in their reproductive years. The condition usuallly is aggravated by pregnancy. Endocrinologic variables may influence the time of onset and the course of the disease. It is suspected that oral contraceptives (OCs) might stimulate the onset of the disease. Six hundred nulliparous women between the ages of 16 and 30, who used a variety of OCs for 12-36 months, were examined. The hearing of these women was thoroughly investigated. The first audiometric examination of the 600 women revealed three cases (0.5%) of clinical otosclerosis. This incidence is equal to that of the population as a whole, but lower than the incidence found in previously parous women. Audiometric examinations were normal in the remaining 597 women, and repeated examinations revealed no new cases of clinical otosclerosis, despite continuous OC use.

Actinomycosis of the face and neck.

Cervical actinomycosis is a rare condition. During the last six years, five patients were hospitalized in our department, suffering from swelling in the region of the face and neck that was identified bacteriologically as Actinomyces israelii. Soft tumors of the head and neck that do not respond to common antibiotic therapy should arouse the suspicion of actinomycosis.

The oto-palato-digital syndrome.

A boy aged ten years with oto-palato-digital syndrome is discussed. Because of severe conductive hearing loss tympanotomy was performed and abnormal poorly mobile ossicles were found. Stapedectomy was performed without improvement of hearing.

Hearing loss after head injury.

This work reports on the hearing loss of 395 patients who were hospitalized after brain concussion. The percentage of hearing loss and vestibular disturbances appearing after fracture of the temporal bone is higher than in cases with skull fractures without fracture of the temporal bone or with brain concussion alone. Conductive deafness caused by head injury usually disappears in two months time. If conductive deafness remains, the suspicion of dislocation of the ossicular bones arises and such patients must undergo an operation. As the cases where sensorineural deafness disappeared within six months after head injury were rare, final evaluation of the hearing loss can be made one year after the head injury. In the majority of cases, vestibular disturbances and positional nystagmus disappear within six months after the head injury.
