[Ear, nose, and throat manifestations in patients with primary immunodeficiencies].

OBJECTIVE: To determine the flowgram for the timely diagnosis of the immunodeficiencies congenital primary, based on the demonstrations otorrinolaringol recurrent chronicles to difficult control, with or without associated systemic diseases. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Retrospective study, descriptive and observational that included patient with diagnostic of primary known immunodeficiency. They were checked the clinical files to know their evolution and medical treatment-surgical. RESULTS: They were found 10 patient with diagnostic of some primary immunodeficiency; this was made based on the infectious symptoms otolaryngal chronic recurrent to difficult control; they were six men and four women between the four and 36 years old. They were found the following immunodeficiencies: one of hyper-IgM, three by IgG, variable common three, a deficit with C3 of the complement, two of IgA more atopia. CONCLUSIONS: The chronicle sinusitis or recurrent and the otitis mean chronicle or recurrent can be the only demonstrations of a patient with primary immunodeficiency. The immunology evaluation must include, at least: hematic biometric completes with differential, seric levels of immunoglobulins, the same as subclass of IgG, C4 and C3 of the complement, response to immunization with proteins (diphtheria and tetanus), and polysaccharide antigens (pneumovax).

[Informed consent in ear, nose and throat practice].

Changes in society's mentality have made health professionals get involved in legal aspects. In order to perform a correct medical proceeding, two premises must be fulfilled (Spanish Health General Law, 25th April 1986). First that it is carried out according to lex artis and second patient's consent. Consent needs as a prerequisite the adequate information; it is temporal, it can be revoked and it must be freely given and in writing (although it can be guaranteed by other means). Consent includes, on the patient's side, his/her acceptance of those risks inherent to the treatment. Nevertheless, it does not assure its results since doctor-patient's agreement is just related to means. If it were necessary, it is the doctor the one responsible to prove the consent was appropriately given. This would not be necessary when there is any kind of risk for public health or when the urgency allows no delay. Likewise, the assumption of the patient being under age or not able to take any decision will also be analysed. Features to be fulfilled by informed consent models are also analysed and a prototype is proposed.

[Benign positional paroxysmal vertigo in the general ear, nose, and throat clinic].

Benign positional paroxysmal vertigo is a common disease which may be caused by abnormal movement of utricular debris in the posterior semicircular canal. It is diagnosed by the Dix-Hallpike positional maneuver eliciting vertigo and nystagmus. Treatment generally consists of physical exercises with the Epley or Semont maneuvers. We review 43 consecutive patients diagnosed as BPPV in the last year and treated with physical therapy (Epley maneuvers). Results were very good, with a cure rate of 88.37% (53.5% after a single maneuver). Physical therapy is an effective treatment for BPPV.
