Fungus-like sinusitis.

Fungus-like sinusitis is also called eosinophilic mucin rhinosinusitis (EMRS). This terminology is purely descriptive and refers to a rhinosinusitis, whose clinical presentation and imaging are similar to those of a noninvasive fungal sinusitis but in which fungus could not be demonstrated pathologically using the conventional silver staining technique or on culture. The authors report 2 clinical cases and recall the diagnostic criteria for the different forms of fungal sinusitis in immunocompetent patients.

Brown tumour: presenting symptom of primary hyperparathyroidism.

The skeletal lesions of primary hyperparathyroidism, including brown tumour, are rare nowadays, with the practice of checking serum calcium levels leading to an earlier diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism. Clinical, laboratory, radiographic and histological investigations can lead to a correct diagnosis. Treatment of brown tumour focuses on the hyperparathyroidism, and is usually followed by a regression of the brown tumour. The diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism and brown tumour should be considered in patients with hypercalcaemia and an osteolytic expansive bone lesion. We present a patient where a brown tumour of the mandible was the presenting symptom of primary hyperparathyroidism.

[Adolescence and cochlear implant].

During adolescence, the identity is constructed and the communication changes. The cochlear implant may disturb the identity's construction. The restrictions and advantages may be misunderstood due to the communication difficulties. It is important to take time to discuss and explain the limits of this hearing aid. It must not be perceived as a miracle resolving all auditory and oral communication problems. The hearing aid is effective for motivated and informed adolescents. The outcome depends on the level of auditory experience and oral language development before implantation. It can be very positive.
