[Jugular bulb diverticular and facial paralysis].

The authors report a case where a woman presents a right jugular bulb procidence already known and responsible of a perception deafness. Secondarily, a right facial paralysis is appeared progressively and not regressive even with medical treatment. When the computed tomography as shown an intrapetrous diverticular, the facial paralysis treatment was surgical to decompress the facial nerve. The literature study shoes the rarity of this association facial paralysis and jugular bulb procidence (only two cases), more often responsible of deafness, tinnitus, and vertigo. The diagnosis is given by computed tomography. M.R.I. has not still be evaluated. Then the authors insist on the progressive character of the facial paralysis and on the necessity of a surgical treatment.

[Comparison of different treatments of acute acoustic trauma].

Comparison between different treatments of acute acoustic trauma. The acute acoustic trauma, induced tinnitus, hearing loss and an fickle otalgia, is a Permanent or a Temporary Threshold Shift. In a retrospect study of 184 patients, or 313 cases, the target of this research was to determinate a possible level of blood dilution resulted during normovolemic hemodilution, and an optimal therapeutic group. In fact, just the dilay of a starting treatment between 0 and 3 days permitted to obtain this group on qualitatives and quantitative criteria; efficiency of the treatment is better than the damages are important. We observed an important post normovolemic hemodilution effect on audition recovery and tinnitus evolution. In return, an optimal hematocrite value hadn't been found between 29 and 35%.

[Some useful basics of functional anatomy for a better understanding of the pain phenomenon].

Cannot simply be considered as a nociception phenomenon: it is more complex than a simple transmission system that conveys this information to the cerebral cortex. It is mainly a psychological event. Numerous regulating and inhibiting effects on incoming pain signals exist, for the most part located in spinal and thalamic areas; only half of these are morphine-dependent. Knowledge of these allows a better approach to chronic pain, using not only medication but also other techniques such as physiotherapy and music therapy analgesia.

[Pain assessment].

After recalling the components and the factors influencing the pain, are stated the main reasons which needs for the evaluation of the pain. The different methods allowing an evaluation of the pain are then described with their advantages and disadvantages. These methods are based on, on one hand on questonary with as a support the use of different mono or multidimensional scales and on the other hand a clinical examination. The goal of this proceeding is to elaborate a scale of the pain for a better adaptation of it's therapy.

[Analgesics: their role in current therapeutics].

The management of pain has been much developing for the last ten years in French medicine, particularly in O.R.L. It is a well-known fact that all pains are not identical and it is essential to differentiate them well. According to the kind of pain (acute pain, pain induced by a cancer, chronic pain), the attitude to be adopted may be quite different. Therefore, it is essential to master the pharmacology of these analgesic drugs. The aim of this paper is to review the current and everlasting knowledge of these drugs. We shall tackle the latest data concerning the mechanisms of action of analgesics and specify the practical use of morphinic compounds in 1996 and quote the means used in the pain treatment by deafferentation. In conclusion, it seems important to us to bring to mind the consequences of a misuse of analgesics.

[Hearing aids through the ages].

Authors relate the history of acoustic hearing aids, from antiquity to our days, for air and bone conductions. It shows an evolution, more due to physical progress than medical progress, composed with deaf's psychology. The accession of electric amplification will make more than half-century to be imperative.

[Legislative and statutory protection of the hearing-impaired population].

Ever since the notion of the Recognition of the Nation instituted by the Constituent Assembly in 1790, numerous bills drafted to aid the handicapped, and more specifically the hard-of-hearing, have been adapted. The regulations, institutions, management systems, allowances and benefits are detailed both for the child and for the adult. This paper provides a summary up-date to help both rehabilitators and the handicapped themselves.

[Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis in otorhinolaryngology].

The authors present a case of mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis of the nose in a patient originally from French Guiana and review the characteristics of this parasitic disease and its importance in the differential diagnosis of lethal midline granuloma. Beyond the exotic pathology of this case, the review of the literature indicates that with the present extension of concomitant leishmaniasis and Hids, authentic autochtonal leishmaniasis may be responsible for otolaryngologic manifestations. The increased prevalence of leishmaniasis associated with AIDS, as well as the presence of mucosal lesions, seems to be underestimated.

[Ophthalmological complications in ORL and maxillofacial surgery].

E.N.T. and maxillo-facial surgery may sometimes cause dramatic eye damage. Following a brief summary of the eye's anatomy and its surrounding parts, the most frequent surgical acts which may cause orbital complications are described. Perfect knowledge of the eye and its surrounding parts enable us to offset the dramatic changes due to the pathology.

[Current aspects of sinus barotrauma. The impact on treatment, prevention and fitness].

Among the barotraumatism which affects divers and airplane pilots, sinus barotraumatism is one of the less known and studied, as the scarceness of series published can testify. The interest of this study stands in doing an up to date synthesis (recap) of the bibliography, and to understand the "physio-pathologic" mechanism after the exploitation of series of 22 observations. That work will allow a better knowledge of therapeutic on the one hand, and of the "prophylactic" on the other hand.
