Producing good local anaesthesia of the external auditory meatus and tympanic membrane has always been a difficult problem facing otologists. Previously used methods are mentioned and the use of a new eutectic mixture of local anaesthetics (EMLA) for electrocochleography, myringotomy and grommet insertion in adults and older children is described. A double-blind controlled trial involving 15 patients (30 ears) undergoing electrocochleography showed EMLA to be a very effective, safe and convenient preparation for outpatient otological use.

An increased risk of developing malignant disease after renal transplantation and immunosuppression with azathioprine and corticosteroids is well documented. We report a case of intranasal carcinoma occurring in a renal transplant recipient. The possible role of immunosuppression on the development and on the outcome of treatment of this tumour is discussed.
