[Hemorrhage from the ORL area].

Bleeding in the ENT area necessitates fast action to recognize and to stop the bleeding as well as to avert upcoming dangers. Prerequisite for a diagnostic is a good source of light via the reflector or the endoscope. During bleeding from wounds in the ears, nose, and throat, additional sources of bleeding from the mentioned cavities have to be excluded. Beside a traumatic caused bleeding, this finding may also be due to tumors and infections. An admixture of liquor can be seen during bleeding from head injury. Bleeding from the nose is located in 80% of the cases in the frontal part of the nose (locus Kiesselbache). A submucosal hematoma on the pharyngeal fornix and back wall, respectively, points to a fracture of the sphenoid or ethmoid bone. A blue-red colored tonsil with a fresh bleeding from mucosal chaps is seen as a warning indication of a tonsillogenic arrosion bleeding. Bleeding from the hypopharynx and the larynx necessitate the endotracheal intubation. Bleeding from the ear do not have to lead to rushed actions.

[Results of cryosurgery for the treatment of vascular nevi and tumors (author's transl)].

Report on experiences of the application of cryotherapy in 187 patients with 200 vascular nevi and angiomas. The fit form of therapy for angiomas is contact-freezing because of simultaneous compression. The cryotherapy of cavernous angiomas in skin and oral mucosa, especially in difficult locations, produces excellent results. In those cases the cryotherapy is the method of choice. In founded indications capillary angiomas of infants could be successfully treated. Port-wine nevi in part are suitable for the application of low temperatures.

[Patency of the lacrimal ducts after cryotherapy of eyelid tumors].

It is the advantage of cryotherapy of eyelid tumors that it does not destroy the lacrimal points or the lacrimal canaliculi. The patency of these is kept in spite of freezing tempertures near to fluid nitrogen boiling point. To explain this phenomenon, thermoelectrical measurements during, and histological examinations after experimental cryotherapy were performed. Epithelial lesions lasting a few days were noted and the lumen of canaliculi always remained open.

[Clinical features of papilliferous cystadenolymphoma of the parotid (Whartin's tumour) (author's transl)].

Out of 222 parotid tumours treated by surgery 22 (10%) proved to be cystadenolymphoma papilliferum. The tumour was found predominantly in men over fifty, tended to grow rapidly often causing pain. Suspicion of papilliferous cystadenolymphoma (a parotid tumour in older men) must be confirmed by early operation. The surgical procedure for cystadenolymphoma is like that for pleomorphic adenoma (exposure of the facial nerve followed by partial parotidectomy). An extracapsular dissection is not recommended.
