20. Pre ace
It is a privilege and great pleasure or me to introduce two excellent editors or the 11th
edition o K. J. Lee’
s Essential Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery, Dr. Yvonne Chan
and Dr. John Goddard.
T e rst edition o Essential Otolaryngology, published in 1973, was based predomi-
nantly on my own notes that had helped me through my Board examination. Because o
the enthusiastic reception among practicing clinicians and the universal acceptance o this
book among residents in the United States and abroad, I have ound keeping this book cur-
rent a most satis ying endeavor. Dr. Anthony Maniglia arranged or the 6th edition to be
translated into Spanish by Drs. Blanco, Cabezas, Cobo, Duque, Reyes, and Santamaria. T e
7th edition was also translated into Spanish by Drs. Rendón, Araiza, Pastrana, Enriquez,
and González. T e 8th edition was translated into urkish by Pro essor Metin Onerci and
Dr. Hakan Korkmaz and translated into Chinese by Pro essor Chen and her colleagues. A
previous edition was also translated into urkish by Pro essor Vecdet Kayhan, Doc. Dr.
ay un Sunay, and Uz. Dr. Cetin Kaleli. It has also been translated into other languages
without our knowledge.
Although the original material still orms a signi cant portion o the book, Dr. Chan
and Dr. Goddard have assembled a broad panel o authorities in several subspecialities to
present additional in ormation, which is considered the most current in their areas o ex-
pertise.
Neither a complete review o otolaryngology nor a comprehensive textbook on the
subject, K.J. Lee’
sEssential Otolaryngology, 11th edition, remains true to its original intent—
to serve as a guide or Board preparation as well as a practical and concise re erence text
ref ecting contemporary concepts in clinical otolaryngology. Senior medical students, resi-
dents, and ellows; Board-eligible, Board-certi ed otolaryngologists; primary care physi-
cians; and specialists in other elds will all nd this edition to be an even more use ul and
indispensable resource.
I thank Dr. Chan and Dr. Goddard.

21. For this 11th edition, I want to thank our two editors, Dr. Yvonne Chan and Dr. John God-
dard, who have done a tremendous job. Particularly, I would like to thank the one person
who has been by my side even be ore the appearance o the very 1st edition o this book in
1973, my lovely and devoted wi e o 49 years, Linda. Our three sons, Ken, Lloyd, and Mark,
used to help with editorial assistance, but are now busy with their respective pro essions,
law, private equity, and movie production; Jeannie Grenier, my nurse or over 31 years and
editorial associate, worked hard on previous editions. I thank the McGraw-Hill sta or
their diligence, great work, and congeniality.
I thank myparents or the gene and nurturing environment that allowed me to develop
a passion or hard work, a sense or organization, and an ability to distill complex materials
into simple acts. T ese are the three cornerstones that have shaped this book rom the 1st
edition. I am thrilled to see these traits are also inherent in Yvonne and John.
And to those newcomers at the rontiers o medical science who have contributed to
this edition, I also extend mythanks or taking the time to share their own expertise and, by
doing so, helping to keep this book up-to-date.

Syndromes and Eponyms
Syndromes and Diseases
Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by a delay in onset (12-24 hours)
ollowing injury, shock, and/or success ul resuscitative e ort. Septic shock, extrathoracic
trauma, central nervous system (CNS) pathology, at embolism, oxygen toxicity, head and acial
injuries, and massive blood trans usions can lead to ARDS. It is characterized by hypoxia and
pulmonary in ltrates secondary to increased pulmonary vascular permeability, microvascular
hemorrhage, or both.
Aide Syndrome
Aide syndrome is characterized by decreased pupillary reaction and deep tendon re ex. T e
etiology is unknown.
Alagille Syndrome
Alagille syndrome is marked by cardiovascular abnormalities, characteristic acial appearance,
chronic cholestasis, growth retardation, hypogonadism, mental retardation, vertebral arch
de ect, temporal bone anomalies in the cochlear aqueduct, ossicles, semicircular canals (SCCs),
and subarcuate ossa. Liver transplantation is a possible treatment.

Albers-Schönberg Disease
A genetic disorder also known as osteopetrosis, Albers-Schönberg disease results in progres-
sive increase in the density (but also increase in weakness) o the bones in the skeletal system.
Vascular nutrition to a ected bones is also decreased by this disease. Broken down into three
categories, there is osteopetrosis with precocious mani estations, osteopetrosis with delayed
mani estations, and pyknodysostosis. In the mandible long-term antibiotic therapy, multiple
debridements, sequestrectomies, or even resection are possible treatments.
Albright Syndrome
Polyostotic brous dysplasia usually mani ests early in li e as multicentric lesions involving the
long bones and bones o the ace and skull with scattered skin lesions similar to melanotic ca é
au lait spots and precocious pubertyin emale patients. Frequently, there is an elevation o serum
alkaline phosphatase as well as endocrine abnormalities.
Aldrich Syndrome
T rombocytopenia, eczema, and recurrent in ections occur during the rst year o li e. It is
inherited through a sex-linked recessive gene. T e bleeding time is prolonged, the platelet count
is decreased, and the bone marrow megakaryocytes are normal in number.
Amalric Syndrome
Granular macular pigment epitheliopathy ( oveal dystrophy) is associated with sensorineural
hearing loss. Visual acuity is usually normal. Amalric syndrome may be a genetic disorder, or it
may be the result o an intrauterine rubella in ection.
Aortic Arch Syndrome
See akayasu Disease.
Apert Syndrome
Apert syndrome is not to be con used with P ei er syndrome, which has di erent types o hand
mal ormations.
Ascher Syndrome
Ascher syndrome is a combination o blepharochalasis, double lip, and goiter.
Auriculotemporal Syndrome (Frey Syndrome)
Auriculotemporal syndrome is characterized by localized ushing and sweating o the ear and
cheek region in response to eating. It usually occurs a er parotidectomy. It is assumed that the
parasympathetic bers o the ninth nerve innervate the sweat glands a er parotidectomy. It has
been estimated that 20%o the parotidectomies in children result in this disorder.
Avellis Syndrome
Unilateral paralysis o the larynx and velum palati, with contralateral loss o pain and tempera-
ture sensitivity in the parts below the larynx characterize Avellis syndrome. T e syndrome is
caused by involvement o the nucleus ambiguus or the vagus nerve along with the cranial por-
tion o the ninth nerve.
24. Chapter 1: Syndromes and Eponyms 3
Babinski-Nageotte Syndrome
Babinski-Nageotte syndrome is caused by multiple or scattered lesions, chie y in the distribu-
tion o the vertebral artery. Ipsilateral paralysis o the so palate, larynx, pharynx, and sometimes
tongue occurs. T ere is also ipsilateral loss o taste on the posterior third o the tongue, loss o pain
and temperature sensation around the ace, and cerebellar asynergia. Horner syndrome with con-
tralateral spastic hemiplegia and loss o proprioceptive and tactile sensation may also be present.
Baelz Syndrome
Painless papules at the openings o the ducts o the mucous glands o the lips with ree exudation
o mucus are characteristic. Congenital and amilial orms are precancerous. Acquired orms are
benign and caused by irritating substances.
Bannwarth Syndrome (Facial Palsy in Lymphocytic Meningoradiculitis)
A relatively benign orm o acute unilateral or bilateral acial palsy that is associated with lym-
phocytic reactions and an increased protein level in the cerebrospinal uid (CSF) with mini-
mal, i any, meningeal symptoms is known as Bannwarth syndrome. Neuralgic or radicular pain
without acial palsy and unilateral or bilateral acial palsy o acute onset are symptoms o this
syndrome. A virus has been suggested as a possible etiology. Males are more o en a ected than
emales, with the greatest number o cases occurring in the months o August and September.
Barany Syndrome
Barany syndrome is a combination o unilateral headache in the back o the head, periodic
ipsilateral dea ness (alternating with periods o una ected hearing), vertigo, and tinnitus. T e
syndrome complex may be corrected by induced nystagmus.
Barclay-Baron Disease
Vallecular dysphagia is present.
Barre-Lieou Syndrome
Occipital headache, vertigo, tinnitus, vasomotor disorders, and acial spasm due to irritation o
the sympathetic plexus around the vertebral artery in rheumatic disorders o the cervical spine
are characteristic. It is also known as cervical migraine.
Barrett Syndrome
Barrett syndrome is characterized by esophagitis due to change in the epithelium o the
esophagus.
Barsony-Polgar Syndrome
A di use esophageal spasm, caused by disruption o the peristaltic waves by an irregular con-
traction resulting in dysphagia and regurgitation, is evidence o this syndrome. It most com-
monly a ects excitable elderly persons.
Basal Cell Nevoid Syndrome
T is amilial syndrome, non–sex-linked and autosomal dominant with high penetrance and
variable expressivity, mani ests early in li e. It appears as multiple nevoid basal cell epitheliomas
o the skin, cysts o the jaw, abnormal ribs and metacarpal bones, rontal bossing, and dorsal
scoliosis. Endocrine abnormalities have been reported and it has been associated with medul-
loblastoma. T e cysts in the jaw, present only in the maxilla and mandible, are destructive to the
bone. T e basal cell epitheliomas are excised as necessary, and the cysts in the jaw rarely recur
a er complete enucleation.

subclavian artery.
Beckwith Syndrome
T is is a congenital disorder characterized by macroglossia, omphalocele, hypoglycemia, pan-
creatic hyperplasia, noncystic renal hyperplasia, and cytomegaly o the etal adrenal cortex.
Behçet Syndrome
O unknown etiology, this disease runs a protracted course with periods o relapse and remis-
sion. It mani ests as indolent ulcers o the mucous membrane and skin, stomatitis, as well as ano-
genital ulceration, iritis, and conjunctivitis. No de nitive cure is known, though steroids help.
Besnier-Boeck-Schaumann Syndrome
Sarcoidosis is present.
Bloom Syndrome
An autosomal recessive growth disorder, Bloom syndrome is associated with chromosomal breaks
and rearrangements.It isalso associated with an unusuallyhigh rateo cancer at an earlyage.Asso-
ciated with acial erythema, growth retardation, immunode ciency, in ertility, and sun sensitivity,
diagnosis is con rmed by chromosome analysis. Anomalous numbers o digits or teeth, asym-
metric legs, heart mal ormation, hypopigmented spots in blacks, protruding ears, sacral dimple,
simian line, and urethral or meatal narrowing are less common characteristics. For head and neck
tumor patients, there is an increased chance o secondary and primary tumors.
Bogorad Syndrome
Bogorad syndrome is also known as the syndrome o crocodile tears, characterized by residual
acial paralysis with pro use lacrimation during eating. It is caused by a misdirection o regener-
ating autonomic bers to the lacrimal gland instead o to the salivary gland.
Bonnet Syndrome
Sudden trigeminal neuralgia accompanied by Horner syndrome and vasomotor disorders in the
area supplied by the trigeminal nerve are mani estations o this syndrome.
Bonnier Syndrome
Bonnier syndrome is caused by a lesion o Deiters nucleus and its connection. Its symptoms
include ocular disturbances (eg, paralysis o accommodation, nystagmus, diplopia), dea ness,
nausea, thirst, and anorexia, as well as other symptoms re erable to involvement o the vagal
centers, cranial nerves VIII, IX, X, and XI, and the lateral vestibular nucleus. It can simulate
Ménière disease.
Bourneville Syndrome
Bourneville syndrome is a amilial disorder whose symptoms include polyps o the skin, harelip,
moles, spina bi da, and microcephaly.
Bowen Disease
Bowen disease is a precancerous dermatosis characterized by the development o pinkish or
brownish papules covered with a thickened horny layer. Histologically, it shows hyperchromatic
acanthotic cells with multinucleated giant cells. Mitoses are requently observed.

Branchio-Oto-Renal Syndrome
Branchio-Oto-Renal syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by anoma-
lies o the external, middle, and inner ear in association with preauricular tissues, branchial
cle anomalies, and varying degrees o renal dysplasia, including aplasia. Many o the ollowing
symptoms (but not necessarily all) are present:
A. Conductive or mixed hearing loss
B. Cup-shaped, anteverted pinnae with bilateral preauricular sinuses
C. Bilateral branchial cle stulas or sinuses
D. Renal dysplasia
T is syndrome is among a group o syndromes characterized byde ormities associated with
the rst and second branchial complexes. T e precise incidence o the disorder is unknown.
Briquet Syndrome
Briquet syndrome is characterized by a shortness o breath and aphonia due to hysteric paralysis
o the diaphragm.
Brissaud-Marie Syndrome
Unilateral spasm o the tongue and lips o a hysteric nature are characteristic.
Brown Syndrome
Brown syndrome is a congenital or acquired abnormality o the superior oblique muscle tendon
characterized by vertical diplopia and the inability to elevate the eye above midline or medial
gaze. T is syndrome is o two types: true and simulated. rue Brown syndrome is always con-
genital. Simulated Brown syndrome is either congenital or acquired. T e congenital simulated
type may be caused by thickening o an area in the posterior tendon or by the rm attachment o
the posterior sheath to the superior oblique tendon. T e acquired simulated type may be caused
by in ammation extending rom the adjacent ethmoid cells to the posterior sheath and tendon,
an orbital oor racture, rontal ethmoidal racture, crush racture o nasal bones, sinusitis, ron-
tal sinus surgery, or surgical tucking o the superior oblique tendon.
Brun Syndrome
Vertigo, headache, vomiting, and visual disturbances due to an obstruction o CSF ow dur-
ing positional changes o the head are seen. T e main causes o this syndrome include cysts
and cysticercosis o the ourth ventricle as well as tumors o the midline cerebellum and third
ventricle.
Burckhardt Dermatitis
Burckhardt dermatitis appears as an eruption o the external ear. It consists o red papules and
vesicles that appear a er exposure to sunlight. T e rash usually resolves spontaneously.
Ca ey Disease (In antile Cortical Hyperostosis)
O amilial tendency, its onset is usuallyduring the rst year o li e. It is characterized byhyperir-
ritability, ever, and hard nonpitting edema that overlie the cortical hyperostosis. Pathologically,
it involves the loss o periosteum with acute in ammatory involvement o the intratrabecular
bone and the overlying so tissue. reatment is supportive, consisting o steroids and antibiotics.
T e prognosis is good. T e mandible is the most requently involved site.
27. 6 Part 1: General Otolaryngology
Caisson Disease
T issymptom complexoccursin men and women who workin high air pressuresand arereturned
too suddenly to normal atmospheric pressure. Similar symptoms may occur in iers when they
suddenly ascend to high altitudes unprotected by counterpressure. It results rom the escape rom
solution in the body uids o bubbles (mainly nitrogen) originally absorbed at higher pressure.
Symptoms include headache; pain in the epigastrium, sinuses, and tooth sockets; itchy skin; ver-
tigo; dyspnea; coughing; nausea; vomiting; and sometimes paralysis. Peripheral circulatory col-
lapse may be present. Nitrogen bubbles have been ound in the white matter o the spinal cord. It
also can injure the inner ear through necrosis o the organ o Corti. T ere is a question o rupture
o the round window membrane; hemotympanum and eustachian tube obstruction may occur.
Camptomelic Syndrome
T e name is derived rom a Greek word meaning curvature of extremities. T e syndrome is
characterized by dwar sm, cranio acial anomalies, and bowing o the tibia and emur, with mal-
ormation o other bones. T e patient has cutaneous dimpling overlying the tibial bend. Respira-
tory distress is common, and the patient has an early demise in the rst ew months o li e. In
the otolaryngologic area, the patient exhibits a prominent orehead, at acies with a broad nasal
bridge and low-set ears, cle palate, mandibular hypoplasia, and tracheobronchial malacia that
contributes to the respiratory distress and neonatal death. Histologically, two temporal bone
observations showed de ective endochondral ossi cation with no cartilage cells in the endo-
chondral layer o the otic capsule. T e cochlea was shortened and attened, presenting a scalar
communis. T e vestibule and the SCC were de ormed by bone invasion.
T is syndrome is o en o unknown etiology, although some believe it is autosomal reces-
sive. Others believe it may be due to an exogenous cause.
T is syndrome is not to be con used with Pierre Robin syndrome, which presents with very
similar clinical eatures.
Cannon Nevus
T is is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by spongy white lesions o the oral and
nasal mucosa. T e lesions are asymptomatic and may be ound rom the newborn period with
increasing severity until adolescence. T e histologic picture is that o keratosis, acanthosis, and
parakeratosis.
Carcinoid Syndrome
T e symptoms include episodic ushing, diarrhea, and ascites. T e tumor secretes serotonin.
reatment is wide excision. T e tumor may give a positive dopa reaction.
Carotid Sinus Syndrome (Charcot-Weiss-Barber Syndrome)
When the carotid sinus is abnormallysensitive, slight pressure on it causes a marked all in blood
pressure due to vasodilation and cardiac slowing. Symptoms include syncope, convulsions, and
heart block.
Castleman Disease
Castleman disease was rst described by Castelman et al in 1954. It is a benign lymphoepithelial
disease that is most o en mistaken or lymphoma. It is also known as localized nodal hyperpla-
sia, angiomatous lymph node hyperplasia, lymphoid hamartoma, and giant lymph nodal hyper-
plasia. Symptoms include tracheobronchial compression, such as cough, dyspnea, hemoptysis,
or dysphagia. Masses in the neck are also not uncommon. T ere are two histologic types: the
hyaline vascular type and the plasma cell type. Follicles in the hyaline vascular type are traversed
28. Chapter 1: Syndromes and Eponyms 7
by radially oriented capillaries with plump endothelial cells and collagenous hyalinization sur-
rounding the vessels. T e ollicles in the plasma cell type are normal in size without capillary
proli eration or hyalinization. Intermediate orms exist but are rare. reatment entails complete
excision o the mass. Etiology is unknown.
Cavernous Sinus Syndrome
T e cavernous sinus receives drainage rom the upper lip, nose, sinuses, nasopharynx, pharynx,
and orbits. It drains into the in erior petrosal sinus, which in turn drains into the internal jugular
vein. T e cavernous sinus syndrome is caused by thrombosis o the cavernous intracranial sinus,
80% o which is atal. T e symptoms include orbital pain (V1
) with venous congestion o the
retina, lids, and conjunctiva. T e eyes are proptosed with exophthalmos. T e patient has photo-
phobia and involvement o nerves II, III, IV, and V1
. T e treatment o choice is anticoagulation
and antibiotics. T e most common cause o cavernous sinus thrombosis is ethmoiditis. T e oph-
thalmic vein and artery are involved as well. (T e nerves and veins are lateral to the cavernous
sinus, and the internal carotid artery is medial to it.)
Cestan-Chenais Syndrome
Cestan-Chenais syndrome is caused by occlusion o the vertebral artery below the point o ori-
gin o the posteroin erior cerebellar artery. T ere is paralysis o the so palate, pharynx, and lar-
ynx. Ipsilateral cerebellar asynergia and Horner syndrome are also present. T ere is contralateral
hemiplegia and diminished proprioception and tactile sensation.
Champion-Cregah-Klein Syndrome
T is is a amilial syndrome consisting o popliteal webbing, cle lip, cle palate, lower lip stula,
syndactyly, onychodysplasia, and pes equinovarus.
Chapple Syndrome
T is disorder is seen in the newborn with unilateral acial weakness or paralysis in conjunction
with comparable weakness or paralysis o the contralateral vocal cord, the muscles o degluti-
tion, or both. T e disorder is secondary to lateral exion o the head in utero, which compresses
the thyroid cartilage against the hyoid or cricoid cartilages or both, thereby injuring the recur-
rent or superior laryngeal nerve, or both.
Charcot-Marie- ooth Disease
T is is a hereditary and degenerative disease that includes the olivopontocerebellar, cerebellopa-
renchymal, and spinocerebellar disorders and the neuropathies. T is disease is characterized by
chronic degeneration o the peripheral nerves and roots; and distal muscle atrophy in eet, legs,
and hands. Deep tendon re exes are usually nil. It is also associated with hereditary cerebellar
ataxia eatures, optic atrophy, and other cranial involvement. Some suggest that this disease is
linked to auditory dys unction and that it is also linked to other CNSdys unctions. T is disease
can be progressive, and it can also spontaneously arrest.
CHARGESyndrome
CHARGE syndrome (Coloboma o the eye, Heart de ects, Atresia o the choanae, Retardation o
growth and development, Genital and/or urinaryabnormalities and Ear abnormalities and dea -
ness) is a genetic pattern o birth de ects which occur one in 10,000 births worldwide, without
any amily history. It involves heart de ects, breathing and swallowing di culties, hearing loss,
vision loss, and balance problems.

Chédiak-Higashi Syndrome
Chédiak-Higashi syndrome is the result o an autosomal recessive trait. It is characterized by
albinism, photophobia, nystagmus, hepatosplenomegaly, anomalous cellular granules, and
development o lymphoma. T ese patients usually die during childhood o ulminant in ections.
Cle Lip Palate and Congenital Lip Fistulas
T is syndrome is transmitted in an autosomal dominant manner with 80%penetrance;it occurs
in 1 per 100,000 live births. Usually bilateral, symmetrically located depressions are noted on the
vermilion portion o the lower lip and communicate with the underlying minor salivary glands.
T e lip pits may be an isolated nding (33%) or be ound with cle lip palate (67% o cases).
Associated anomalies o the extremities may include talipes equinovarus, syndactyly, and pop-
liteal pterygia. Congenital lip pits have also been seen in association with the oral- acial-digital
syndrome.
Cockayne Syndrome
Cockayne syndrome is autosomal recessive, progressive bilateral sensorineural hearing loss,
associated with dwar sm, acial disharmony, microcephaly, mental de ciency, retinitis pigmen-
tosa, optic atrophy, intracranial calci cation, and multiple dental caries. Patients succumb to
respiratory or genitourinary in ection in the teens or twenties.
Cogan Syndrome
Nonsyphilitic interstitial keratitis and vestibuloauditory symptoms are characteristics o Cogan
syndrome. Interstitial keratitis gives rise to rapid visual loss. Symptoms include episodic severe
vertigo accompanied by tinnitus, spontaneous nystagmus, ataxia, and progressive sensorineural
hearing loss. T ere are remissions and exacerbations. It is believed to be related to periarteritis
nodosa. Eosinophilia has been reported in this entity. Pathologically, it is a degeneration o the
vestibular and spiral ganglia with edema o the membranous cochlea, SCCs, and in ammation
o the spiral ligament. reatment with steroids has been advocated.
Cyclophosphamide and azathioprine have been used in addition to prednisone (40 mg
daily). T is syndrome is not to be con used with Ménière disease despite vertiginous symp-
toms and uctuating hearing loss. Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome is also similar but involves
alopecia, poliosis, and exudative uveitis. Syphilis is also con used with this syndrome, but in
syphilis, the interstitial keratitis is old and usually does not demonstrate active in ammatory
changes. Syphilitic involvement o the cornea is o en centrally located. Follow-up treatment
o patients must be thorough in order to detect more extensive involvement, such as systemic
vasculitis or aortitis.
Collet-Sicard Syndrome
T e 9th, 10th, and 11th nerves are involved with normal sympathetic nerves. T e etiologyis usu-
ally a meningioma or other lesion involving the nerves in the posterior cranial ossa.
Conradi-Hünermann Syndrome
T e most common variant o chondrodysplasia punctata; this syndrome is characterized by
punctate epiphyseal calci cations. Clinical eatures include saddle nose de ormity, micromelia,
rhizomelia, short stature, exion contractures, and dermatoses. T is syndrome is also known
as chondrodystrophia epiphysialis punctata, stippled epiphysis disease, dysplasia epiphysialis
punctata, chondroangiopathia calcarea punctata, and Conradi disease. Some cases point to spo-
radic mutations and others to autosomal dominant patterns o inheritance. T e clinical eatures
31. 10 Part 1: General Otolaryngology
o this syndrome are so varied rom case to case that only a complete workup can exclude other
versions o this syndrome.
Costen Syndrome
Costen syndrome is a temporomandibular joint ( MJ) abnormality, usually due to impaired bite
and characterized by tinnitus, vertigo, and pain in the rontal, parietal, and occipital areas with
a blocked eeling and pain in the ear. A er a care ul workup to rule out other abnormalities, the
patient is treated with aspirin, heat, and slow exercise o the joint. An orthodontist may help the
patient. T e MJ di ers rom other joints by the presence o avascular brous tissue covering
the articulating sur aces with an interposed meniscus dividing the joint into upper and lower
compartments. T e right and le MJs act as one unctional unit. T e condyle is made up o
spongy bone with marrow and a growth center. T e condyle articulates with the glenoid ossa
o the temporal bone (squamosa). T e squamotympanic ssure separates the ossa rom the
tympanic bone. T e joint is a ginglymoarthrodial joint with hinge and transverse movements.
T e key supporting ligament o the MJ is the temporomandibular ligament. T e boundaries o
the glenoid ossa are as ollows:
Anterior: Margins o the articular eminence
Posterior: Squamosotympanic ssure
Lateral: Zygomatic process o the temporal bone
Medial: emporal spine
T e MJ derives its nourishment rom the synovial membrane, which is richly vascularized
and produces a mucinous-like substance. T e joint has a gliding motion between the meniscus
and the temporal bone (upper compartment). It has a hinge motion between the disk and the
condyle (lower compartment). It is innervated by the auriculotemporal nerve, masseter nerve,
lateral pterygoid nerve, and temporal nerve. It is supplied by the super cial temporal artery
and the anterior tympanic branch o the internal maxillary artery. T e lateral pterygoid muscle
protracts the jaw, and the masseter, medial pterygoid, and temporalis muscles act as elevators.
All these muscles are innervated by V3
. T e sphenomandibular and stylomandibular ligaments
have no unction in MJ articulation.
Cowden Syndrome
T is is a amilial syndrome characterized by adenoid acies, hypoplasia o the mandible and
maxilla, high-arched palate, hypoplasia o the so palate and uvula, microstomia, papillomatosis
o the lips and pharynx, scrotal tongue, multiple thyroid adenomas, bilateral breast hypertrophy,
pectus excavatum, and liver and CNSabnormalities.
Creutz eldt-Jakob Disease
Creutz eldt-Jakob disease is a rare spongi orm encephalopathy. Constitutional symptoms lead to
mental retardation and movement disorder.
Cri du Chat Syndrome
Cri du Chat syndrome is a condition caused by a B group chromosome with a short arm; its
symptoms are mental retardation, respiratory stridor, microcephaly, hypertelorism, midline oral
cle s, and laryngomalacia with poor approximation o the posterior vocal cords.
Crouzon Disease
See Chapter 17.
32. Chapter 1: Syndromes and Eponyms 11

or an entire system (ie, muscular, nervous, or skeletal systems). It is also known as congenital
hemi acial hypertrophy.
Dandy Syndrome
Oscillopsia or jumbling o the panorama common in patients a er bilateral labyrinthectomy
is characteristic o this syndrome. T ese patients are unable to ocus while walking or moving.
Darier Disease (Keratosis Follicularis)
Autosomal dominant, this skin disorder o the external auditory canal is characterized by kera-
totic debris in the canal. Some investigators have advocated the use o vitamin A or steroids.
De’Jean Syndrome
Exophthalmos, diplopia, superior maxillary pain, and numbness along the route o the trigemi-
nal nerve are ound with lesions o the orbital oor in this syndrome.
Déjérine Anterior Bulbar Syndrome
T is syndrome is evidenced by thrombosis o the anterior spinal artery, resulting in either an
alternating hypoglossal hemiplegia or an alternating hypoglossal hemianesthetic hemiplegia.
Demarquay-Richter Syndrome
Demarquay-Richter syndrome is a congenital oro acial disorder characterized by cle lip, cle
palate, lower lip stulas, and progeria acies. De ective dentition, heart de ects, dwar sm, and
nger abnormalities may be seen.
DIDMOAD Syndrome
DIDMOAD syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder associating diabetes insipidus, dia-
betes mellitus, optic atrophy, and dea ness. Diabetes mellitus is usually juvenile in onset and
insulin dependent. T e diabetes insipidus has a varied time o onset and is vasopressin sensitive,
indicative o degeneration o the hypothalamic cells or o the supraopticohypophyseal tract. T e
hearing loss is sensorineural and progressive, and primarily a ects the higher tones. Urinary
tract abnormalities ranging rom atonic bladder to hydronephrosis and hydroureter have been
reported with this disorder.
DiGeorge Syndrome
Lischaneri reported three categories o this syndrome:
A. T ird and ourth pharyngeal pouch syndrome, characterized by cardiovascular and
cranio acial anomalies as well as abdominal visceral abnormalities
B. DiGeorge syndrome (thymus agenesis)
C. Partial DiGeorge syndrome (thymic hypoplasia in which the thymus gland weighs
less than 2 g)
T e patients have small mal ormed pinnae with narrow external auditorycanals and abnor-
mal ossicles. T e patients also have shortened cochlea o the Mondini type as well as an absence
o hair cells in the hook region, hypertelorism with nasal cle , shortened philtrum, and micro-
gnathia. Other middle ear anomalies include an absence o stapedial muscle, hypoplastic acial
nerve, and absent oval window. Most o the ndings are symmetrical.
33. 12 Part 1: General Otolaryngology
Down Syndrome
See section on trisomy in Chapter 17.
Dysphagia Lusoria
Dysphagia lusoria is secondary to an abnormal right subclavian artery. T e right subclavian
arises abnormally rom the thoracic aorta by passing behind or in ront o the esophagus, thus
compressing it.
Eagle Syndrome
T e patient has elongation o the styloid process or ossi cation o the stylohyoid ligament caus-
ing irritation o the trigeminal, acial, glossopharyngeal, and vagus nerves. Symptoms include
recurrent nonspeci c throat discom ort, oreign body sensation, dysphagia, acial pain, and
increased salivation. Carotidynia may result rom impingement o the styloid process on the
carotid artery, producing regional tenderness or headaches. T e only e ective treatment or
Eagle syndrome is surgical shortening o the styloid process.
Ectodermal Dysplasia, Hidrotic
See Chapter 17.
Ectodermal Dysplasia, Hypohidrotic
T is syndrome consists o hypodontia, hypotrichosis, and hypohidrosis. Principally, the struc-
tures involved are o ectodermal origin. Eyelashes and especially eyebrows are entirely missing.
Eczema and asthma are common. Aplasia o the eccrine sweat glands may lead to severe hyper-
pyrexia. T e inheritance is X-linked recessive.
18q Syndrome
T is syndrome consists o psychomotor retardation, hypotonia, short stature, microcephaly,
hypoplastic mid ace, epicanthus, ophthalmologic abnormalities, cle palate, congenital heart
disease, abnormalities o the genitalia, tapered ngers, aural atresia, and conductive hearing loss.
Eisenlohr Syndrome
Numbness and weakness in the extremities; paralysis o the lips, tongue, and palate; and dysar-
thria are evidenced.
Elschnig Syndrome
Extension o the palpebral ssure laterally, displacement o the lateral canthus, ectropion o the
lower lid, and lateral canthus are observed. Hypertelorism, cle palate, and cle lip are re-
quently seen.
Empty Sella Syndrome
T e patient has an enlarged sella, giving the appearance o a pituitary tumor. An air encepha-
logram shows an empty sella. T e syndrome consists o the abnormal extension into the sella
turcica o an arachnoid diverticulum lled with CSF, displacing and compressing the pituitary
gland. Four causal theories o this syndrome exist: (1) rupture o an intrasellar or parasellar cyst;
(2) in arction o a pituitary adenoma; (3) pituitary hypertrophy and subsequent involution; and
(4) the most common theory, the syndrome is due to CSF pressure through a congenitally de -
cient sella diaphragm leading to the ormation o an intrasellar arachnoidocele. A trans-septal
or trans-sphenoidal route to the sella is a treatment to consider.
34. Chapter 1: Syndromes and Eponyms 13
T e primaryemptysella syndrome is due to congenital absence o the diaphragm sella, with
gradual enlargement o the sella secondary to pulsations o the brain. Secondary empty sella
syndrome may be due to necrosis o an existing pituitary tumor a er surgery, postirradiation
directed at the pituitary, or pseudotumor cerebri.
Face-Hand Syndrome
Face-hand syndrome is a re ex sympathetic dystrophy that is seen a er a stroke or myocardial
in arction. T ere may be edema and erythema o the involved parts along with persistent burning.
Fanconi Anemia Syndrome
Patients have aplastic anemia with skin pigmentation, skeletal de ormities, renal anomalies, and
mental retardation. Death due to leukemia usually ensues within 2 years. T e disorder rarely
occurs in adults. (A variant is congenital hypoplastic thrombocytopenia, which is inherited as
an autosomal recessive trait.) It is characterized by spontaneous bleeding and other congenital
anomalies. T e bleeding time is prolonged, the platelet count is decreased, and the bone marrow
megakaryocytes vary rom decreased to absent.
It is associated with unrepaired chromosome breakage. Congenital anomalies o the inner,
middle, and external ear could be causes o the dea ness that accompanies this syndrome.
Felty Syndrome
Felty syndrome is a combination o leukopenia, arthritis, and enlarged lymph nodes and spleen.
First and Second Branchial Arch Syndromes (Hemi acial Microsomia,
Lateral Facial Dysplasia)
T is disorder consists o a spectrum o cranio acial mal ormations characterized by asymmetric
acies with unilateral abnormalities. T e mandible is small with hypoplastic or absent ramus and
condyle. Aural atresia, hearing impairment, tissue tags rom the tragus to the oral commissure,
coloboma o the upper eyelid, malar hypoplasia, and cle palate also may be present. Cardiovas-
cular, renal, and nervous system abnormalities have been noted in association with this disorder.
Fish Odor Syndrome
Clinical symptoms o this peculiar syndrome consist o a sh odor emanating rom the mucus,
particularly in the morning. A challenge test with either choline bitartrate or trimethylamine
is diagnostic o this disease. Eating non–choline-containing oods usually helps. No long-term
e ects are known.
Fordyce Disease
Fordyce disease is characterized by pseudocolloid o the lips, a condition marked by the pres-
ence o numerous, small yellowish-white granules on the inner sur ace and vermilion border o
the lips. Histologically, the lesions appear as ectopic sebaceous glands.
Foster Kennedy Syndrome
Patients with this disorder show ipsilateral optic atrophy and scotomas and contralateral pap-
illedema occurring with tumors or other lesions o the rontal lobe or sphenoidal meningioma.
Anosmia may be seen.
Fothergill Disease
T e combination o tic douloureux and anginose scarlatina is characteristic o this disease.
35. 14 Part 1: General Otolaryngology
Foville Syndrome
Facial paralysis with ipsilateral paralysis o conjugate gaze and contralateral pyramidal hemiple-
gia are diagnostic. innitus, dea ness, and vertigo may occur with in ranuclear involvement.
Loss o taste o the anterior two-thirds o the tongue with decreased salivary and lacrimal secre-
tions is seen with involvement o the nervus intermedius.
Frey Syndrome
In the normal person, the sweat glands are innervated by sympathetic nerve bers. A er paroti-
dectomy, the auriculotemporal nerve sends its parasympathetic bers to innervate the sweat
glands instead. T e incidence o Frey syndrome a er parotidectomy in children has been esti-
mated to be about 20%.
Also called preauricular gustatory sweating, parotidectomy is considered the most com-
mon etiology.

Gardner syndrome is an autosomal dominant disease whose symptoms include broma, oste-
oma o the skull, mandible, maxilla, and long bones, with epidermoid inclusion cysts in the
skin and polyps in the colon. T ese colonic polyps have a marked tendency toward malignant
degeneration.
Gargoylism (Hurler Syndrome)
See Chapter 17.
Gaucher Disease
As an autosomally recessive inherited disorder o lipid metabolism, this syndrome results in a
decrease in activity o the glucocerebrosidase. T is leads to an increased accumulation o glu-
cocerebrosides, particularly in the retroendothelial system. T ere are three classi cations o the
disease: (1) the chronic non-neuronopathic orm, characterized by joint pain, aseptic necrosis,
pathologic ractures, hepatosplenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, anemia, and leukopenia; (2) the
acute neuronopathic Gaucher disease (in antile orm), causing increased neurologic complica-
tions that o en end in death be ore the rst 2 years o li e; and (3) the juvenile and less severe
orms than the in antile orm.

in the head and neck with visual disturbances, ptosis, and generalized weakness o the muscles.
Giant Apical Air Cell Syndrome
Giant apical air cell syndrome, rst described in 1982, consists o giant apical air cells, spontane-
ous CSF rhinorrhea, and recurrent meningitis. It is caused by the constant pounding o the brain

(usually boys 5-10 years old). Repetitive acial grimacing, blepharospasms, and arm and leg
contractions may be present. Compulsive grunting noises or hiccupping subsequently become
expressions o rank obscenities.
Goldenhar Syndrome
A rare, nonhereditary congenital variant o hemi acial microsomia, Goldenhar syndrome is a
congenital syndrome o the rst and second arch. It is characterized by underdevelopment o
cranio acial structures, vertebral mal ormations, and cardiac dys unction. Clinical eatures o
this syndrome are malar and maxillary hypoplasia, poor ormation o external auditory canal,
supernumerary ear tags and antetragal pits, orbit, enlarged mouths, renal anomalies, and miss-
ing growth centers in the condyle, causing delayed eruption o teeth and teeth crowding. Intel-
ligence is usually normal or mildly retarded. Maxillo acial reconstruction in young patients
demands consideration o uture growth and development. It is also recommended or psy-
chologic reasons as well as reasons involving the proper expansion o the skin that will later aid
in urther reconstruction. T is syndrome is not to be con used with reacher Collins, Berry,
or Franceschetti-Zwahlen-Klein syndromes. T ese tend to show well-de ned genetic patterns
(irregular but dominant), whereas Goldenhar syndrome does not.
Goodwin umor (Benign Lymphoepithelial Lesion)
T is syndrome is characterized by in ammatory cells, lymphocytes, plasma cells, and reticular
cells.

joint and is usually associated with children. It is associated with pharyngitis, nasopharyngitis,
adenotonsillitis, tonsillar abscess, parotitis, cervical abscess, and otitis media. T is syndrome has
been known to occur a er nasal cavity in ammation, tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, mastoidec-
tomy, choanal atresia repair, and excisions o a parapharyngeal rhabdomyosarcoma. Proposals
or etiology include overdistention o the atlantoaxial joint ligaments by e usion, rupture o the
transverse ligament, excessive passive rotation during general anesthesia, uncoordinated re ex
action o the deep cervical muscles, spasm o the prevertebral muscles, ligamentous relaxation
rom decalci cation o the vertebrae, and weak lateral ligaments. Clinical eatures include spon-
taneous torticollis in a child, a exed and rotated head with limited range o motion, at ace,
37. 16 Part 1: General Otolaryngology
and Sudeck sign (displacement o the spine o the axis to the same side as the head is turned).
reatment includes skeletal skull traction under uoroscopic control to realign the odontoid
process within the transverse ligament sling, ollowed by 6 to 12 weeks o immobilization.
imely treatment is usually success ul.
Guillain-Barré Syndrome
Guillain-Barré syndrome is in ectious polyneuritis o unknown etiology (“perhaps” viral) caus-
ing marked paresthesias o the limbs, muscular weakness, or a accid paralysis. CSF protein is
increased without an increase in cell count.
Hallermann-Strei Syndrome
Hallermann-Strei syndrome consists o dyscephaly, parrot nose, mandibular hypoplasia, pro-
portionate nanism; hypotrichosis o scalp, brows, and cilia; and bilateral congenital cataracts.
Most patients exhibit nystagmus or strabismus. T ere is no demonstrable genetic basis.

caused by micrognathia, (2) opisthodontia, (3) peromelia, (4) small growth, (5) normal intelli-
gence, (6) branchial arch de ormity resulting in conductive hearing loss, (7) tongue de ormities
and o en a small jaw, and (8) possibly some limb de ects as well. Ear surgery should be care ully
considered because o the abnormal course o the acial nerve due to this syndrome.

ing in intensity and subsequently involving other parts o the body
B. Facial paralysis, otalgia, and aural herpes due to disease o both motor and sensory
bers o the seventh nerve
C. A orm o juvenile paralysis agitans associated with primary atrophy o the pallidal
system
Hunter Syndrome
A hereditary and sex-linked disorder, this incurable syndrome involves multiple organ systems
through mucopolysaccharide in ltration. Death, usually by the second decade o li e, is o en
caused by an in ltrative cardiomyopathy and valvular disease leading to heart ailure. Physi-
cal characteristics include prominent supraorbital ridges, large attened nose with ared nares,
low-set ears, progressive corneal opacities, generous jowls, patulous lips and prognathism, short
neck,abdominalprotuberance,hirsutism,short stature,extensiveosteoarthritis(especiallyin the
hips, shoulders, elbows, and hands), MJarthritis, pseudopapilledema, and low-pressure hydro-
cephalus. Chondroitin sul ate B and heparitin in urine, mental retardation, beta-galactoside
de ciency, and hepatosplenomegaly are also eatures o this syndrome. T ere is cerebral storage
o three gangliosides: GM1
, GM2
, and GM3
. Compressive myelopathy may result rom vertebral
dislocation. High spinal cord injury is a great complication in surgery. Neurologic development
is o en slowed or never acquired. Abdominal abnormalities, respiratory in ections, and cardio-
vascular troubles plague the patient.
Immotile Cilia Syndrome
T is syndrome appears to be a congenital de ect in the ultrastructure o cilia that renders them
incapable o movement. Both respiratory tract cilia and sperm are involved. T e clinical picture
includes bronchiectasis, sinusitis, male sterility, situs inversus, and otitis media. Histologically,
there is a complete or partial absence o dynein arms, which are believed to be essential or cilia
movement and sperm tail movement. Also no cilia movements were observed in the mucosa o
the middle ear and the nasopharynx.
Inversed Jaw-Winking Syndrome
When there are supranuclear lesions o the h nerve, touching the cornea may produce a brisk
movement o the mandible to the opposite side.
Jackson Syndrome
Cranial nerves X, XI, and XII are a ected by nuclear or radicular lesion. T ere is ipsilateral ac-
cid paralysis o the so palate, pharynx, and larynx with weakness and atrophy o the sternoclei-
domastoid and trapezius muscles and muscles o the tongue.
Jacod Syndrome

and trigeminal neuralgia. It is caused by a middle cranial ossa tumor involving the second
through sixth cranial nerves.
39. 18 Part 1: General Otolaryngology
Job Syndrome
Job syndrome is one o the groups o hyperimmunoglobulin E (hyper-IgE) syndromes that are
associated with de ective chemotaxis. T e clinical picture includes air skin, red hair, recurrent
staphylococcal skin abscesses with concurrent other bacterial in ections and skin lesions, as well
as chronic purulent pulmonary in ections and in ected eczematoid skin lesions. T is syndrome
obtained its name rom the Biblical passage re erring to Job being smitten with boils. It is o
interest to the otolaryngologist because o head and neck in ections.
Jugular Foramen Syndrome (Vernet Syndrome)
Cranial nerves IX, X, and XI are paralyzed, whereas XII is spared because o its separate hypo-
glossal canal. Horner syndrome is not present because the sympathetic chain is below the ora-
men. T is syndrome is most o en caused by lymphadenopathy o the nodes o Krause in the
oramen. T rombophlebitis, tumors o the jugular bulb, and basal skull racture can cause the
syndrome. T e glomus jugulare usually gives a hazy margin o involvement, whereas neurinoma
gives a smooth, sclerotic margin o enlargement. T e jugular oramen is bound medially by the
occipital bone and laterally by the temporal bone. T e oramen is divided into anteromedial
(pars nervosa) and posterolateral (pars vascularis) areas bya brous or bonyseptum. T e medial
area transmits nerves IX, X, and XI as well as the in erior petrosal sinus. T e posterior compart-
ment transmits the internal jugular vein and the posterior meningeal artery. T e right oramen
is usually slightly larger than the le oramen.
Kallmann Syndrome
Kallmann syndrome consists o congenital hypogonadotropic eunuchoidism with anosmia. It is
transmitted via a dominant gene with variable penetrance.
Kaposi Sarcoma
Patients have multiple idiopathic, hemorrhagic sarcomatosis particularly o the skin and viscera.
Radiotherapy is the treatment o choice.
Kartagener Syndrome
T e symptoms are complete situs inversus associated with chronic sinusitis and bronchiectasis.
It is also called the Kartagener triad.
Cilia and agella o a patient lack normal dynein side arms o ciliary A-tubes. De cient
mucociliary transport causes sterility in both sexes.
Keratosis Palmaris et Solaris
T is disorder is an unusual inherited mal ormation. I these people live to 65 years o age, 50%
to 75% o them develop carcinoma o the esophagus.
Kimura Disease
Kimura disease was rst described by Kimura et al in 1949 as a chronic in ammatory condition
occurring in subcutaneous tissues, salivary glands, and lymph nodes. Etiology is unknown. His-
tologically, there is dense brosis, lymphoid in ltration, vascular proli eration, and eosinophils.
T is is di erent rom angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE). It is much more
prevalent in people o Oriental descent. Laboratory studies show eosinophilia and elevated IgE.
Di erential diagnosis includes ALHE, eosinophilic granuloma, benign lymphoepithelial lesion,
lymphocytoma, pyogenic granuloma, Kaposi sarcoma, hamartoma, and lymphoma. reatment
includes corticosteroids, cryotherapy, radiation, and surgery.
40. Chapter 1: Syndromes and Eponyms 19
T e di erences between Kimura disease and ALHE are as ollows:
Kimura Age: 30-60 (ALHE age 20-50)
Sex: Male (ALHE emale)
Larger lesions (ALHE < 1 cm)
Deep (ALHE super cial)
More lymphoid ollicles than ALHE
Fewer mast cells than ALHE
Less vascular hyperplasia than ALHE
More brosis than ALHE
More eosinophilia than ALHE
More IgE than ALHE

tubules. T e karyotype is usually XXY
.
Klinkert Syndrome
Paralysis o the recurrent and phrenic nerves due to a neoplastic process in the root o the neck
or upper mediastinum is evidenced. T e sympathetics may be involved. (Le -side involvement
is more common than right-side involvement.) It can be a part o Pancoast syndrome.
Lacrimoauriculodentodigital Syndrome
Autosomal dominant, occasional middle ear ossicular anomaly with cup-shaped ears, abnormal
or absent thumbs, skeletal orearm de ormities, sensorineural hearing loss, and nasolacrimal
duct obstruction are the characteristics o lacrimoauriculodentodigital syndrome.
Large Vestibular Aqueduct Syndrome
T e large vestibular aqueduct as an isolated anomalyo the temporal bone is associated with sen-
sorineural hearing loss. It is more common in childhood than in adulthood. In this syndrome,
the rugose portion o the endolymphatic sac is also enlarged. Endolymphatic sac procedures
to improve hearing are not o en success ul. A vestibular aqueduct is considered enlarged i its
anteroposterior diameter on computed tomography (C ) scan is greater than 1.5 mm.
Larsen Syndrome
Larsen syndrome is characterized by widely spaced eyes, prominent orehead, at nasal bridge,
midline cle o the secondary palate, bilateral dislocation o the knees and elbows, de ormities
o the hands and eet, and spatula-type thumbs; sometimes tracheomalacia, stridor, laryngoma-
lacia, and respiratory di culty are present. T erapy includes maintaining adequate ventilation.
41. 20 Part 1: General Otolaryngology

negative rod, Fusobacterium necrophorum, Lemierre syndrome can be ound in normal ora o
oropharynx, gastrointestinal (GI), emale genital tract; sensitive to clindamycin and metronida-
zole, penicillin, and chloramphenicol. Usually in young adults rst presenting with oropharynx
in ection, progress to neck and parapharyngeal abscess, leading to internal jugular and sigmoid
sinus thrombosis leading to septic embolism causing septic arthritis, liver and splenic abscess,
sigmoid sinus thrombosis ndings include headache, otalgia, vertigo, vomiting, otorrhea and
rigors, proptosis retrobulbar pain, papilledema, and ophthalmoplegia.
Lermoyez Syndrome
Lermoyez syndrome is a variant o Ménière disease. It was rst described by Lermoyez in 1921
as dea ness and tinnitus ollowed by a vertiginous attack that relieved the tinnitus and improved
the hearing.
Lethal Midline Granuloma Syndrome
Destroying cartilage, so tissue, and bone, this disease mani ests itsel by a number o entities,
including idiopathic midline destructive disease, Wegener granulomatosis, polymorphic reticu-
losis, nasal lymphoma, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). High-dose local radiation totaling
5000 rad is the treatment o choice or localized cases. Chemotherapy involving an alkylating
agent (cyclophosphamide) is recommended or disseminated cases.
Lö er Syndrome
Löf er syndrome consists in pneumonitis characterized by eosinophils in the tissues. It is pos-
sibly o parasitic etiology.
Loose Wire Syndrome
Loose wire syndrome occurs in patients with stapedectomy and insertion o a prosthesis that
attaches to the long process o the incus by means o a crimped wire. It is a late complication,
occurring on an average 15 years a er surgery. A triad o symptoms is present that improves
temporarily with middle ear in ation: auditory acuity, distortion o sound, and speech discrimi-
nation. reatment in revision surgeryinvolves nding the loose wire attachment at the incus and
tightening that wire to allow the incus and prosthesis to move as one.
Louis-Bar Syndrome
T is autosomal recessive disease presents as ataxia, oculocutaneous telangiectasia, and sino-
pulmonary in ection. It involves progressive truncal ataxia, slurred speech, xation nystagmus,
mental de ciency, cerebellar atrophy, de cient immunoglobulin, and marked requency o lym-
phoreticular malignancies. T e patient rarely lives past age 20.
Ma ucci Syndrome
Ma ucci syndrome is characterized by multiple cutaneous hemangiomas with dyschondroplasia
and o en enchondroma. T e origin is unknown, and it is not hereditary. Signs and symptoms o
this syndrome usually appear during in ancy. It equally a ects both sexes and has no racial pre er-
ence. T e dyschondroplasia may cause sharp bowing or an uneven growth o the extremities as
well as give rise to requent ractures. Five to 10% o Ma ucci syndrome patients have head and
neck involvement giving rise to cranial nerve dys unction and hemangiomas in the head and neck
area. T e hemangiomas in the nasopharynx and larynx could cause airway compromise as well as
42. Chapter 1: Syndromes and Eponyms 21
deglutition problems. Fi een to 20% o these patients later undergo sarcomatous degeneration in
one or more o the enchondromas. T e percentage o malignant changes is greater in older patients,
with the percentage o malignant degeneration approaching 44%in patients older than 40.
T is syndrome is not to be con used with Klippel- renaunay syndrome, which causes no
underdeveloped extremities, Sturge-Weber syndrome, or von Hippel-Lindau syndrome. No
treatment is known or this syndrome, although surgical procedures to treat the actual de ormi-
ties are sometimes necessary.
Mal de Debarquement Syndrome
Mal de Debarquement syndrome (or MDDS) is an imbalance or rocking sensation that occurs
a er prolonged exposure to motion (most commonly a er a sea cruise or a long airplane ight).
ravelers o en experience this sensation temporarily a er disembarking, but in the case o
MDDSsu erers, it can persist or 6 to 12 months or even many years in some cases.
T e imbalance is generally not associated with any nausea, nor is it alleviated by typical
motion sickness drugs such as scopolamine or meclizine. Symptoms are usually most pro-
nounced when the patient is sitting still; in act, the sensations are usually minimized by actual
motion such as walking or driving.
T e unctional cause o MDDS is unknown. (Vestibular and CNS tests or MDDS patients
invariably turn out normal results.)
Speculation about the cause o MDDSincludes the ollowing:
• Psychiatric condition (particularly linked to depression)
• A hormonal-related condition (may occur more o en in emales)
• Otolith organ or CNSabnormalities
• Some link to a variant o migraine
Diagnosis o MDDSis generally a process o exclusion.
T e medical literature describes MDDSas self-limitingcondition.
Valium and other derivatives (particularly Klonopin) have been known to help alleviate
some o the severe symptoms in MDDSpatients, but there is always a worry that these are habit
orming and may prolong the eventual disappearance o the condition.
In general, physical activity is recommended or vestibular rehabilitation.
Marcus Gunn Syndrome (Jaw-Winking Syndrome)
Marcus Gunn syndrome results in an increase in the width o the eyelids during chewing. Some-
times the patient experiences rhythmic elevation o the upper eyelid when the mouth is open
and ptosis when the mouth is closed.
Marie-Strümpell Disease
Marie-Strümpell disease is rheumatoid arthritis o the spine.
Masson umor
Masson tumor is intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia caused by excessive proli era-
tion o endothelial cells. It is a benign condition. Di erential diagnosis includes angiosarcoma,
Kaposi sarcoma, and pyogenic granuloma.
Melkersson-Rosenthal Syndrome
( riad:Recurrent oro acial swelling, one or more episodes o acial paralysis, and lingua plicata.)
Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome is a congenital disease o unknown etiology, and it mani ests
43. 22 Part 1: General Otolaryngology
as recurring attacks o unilateral or bilateral acial paralysis (see Chapter 21), swelling o the lips,
and urrowing o the tongue. It is associated with high serum levels o angiotensin-converting
enzyme during af iction, and also known as oro acial granulomatosis, cheilitis granulomatosis,
Scheuermann glossitis granulomatosis, and Miescher cheilitis.
reatment should ocus on acial paralysis and edema. Steroids and acial nerve decompres-
sion have had limited success.
Meyenburg Syndrome (Familial Myositis Fibrosa Progressiva)
Meyenburg syndrome is a disease in which the striated muscles are replaced by brosis. Fibro-
sarcoma rarely originates rom this disease.
Middle Lobe Syndrome
Middle lobe syndrome is a chronic atelectatic process with brosis in one or both segments
o the middle lobe. It is usually secondary to obstruction o the middle lobe bronchus by hilar
adenopathy. T e hilar adenopathy may be transient, but the bronchiectasis that resulted persists.
reatment is surgical resection.
Mikulicz Disease
T e symptoms characteristic o Mikulicz disease (swelling o the lacrimal and salivary glands)
occur as complications o some other disease, such as lymphocytosis, leukemia, or uveoparotid
ever.
Millard-Gubler Syndrome
Patients present with ipsilateral paralysis o the abducens and acial nerves with contralateral
hemiplegia o the extremities due to obstruction o the vascular supply to the pons.
Möbius Syndrome
Möbius syndrome is a nonprogressive congenital acial diplegia (usually bilateral) with unilat-
eral or bilateral loss o the abductors o the eye, anomalies o the extremities, and aplasia o the
brachial and thoracic muscles. It requently involves other cranial nerves. Saito showed evidence
that the site o nerve lesions is in the peripheral nerve. T e etiology could be CNS hypoplasia,
primary peripheral muscle de ect with secondary nerve degeneration, or lower motor neuron
involvement.
Morgagni-Stewart-Morel Syndrome
Morgagni-Stewart-Morel syndrome occurs in menopausal women and is characterized by
obesity, dizziness, psychologic disturbances, inverted sleep rhythm, and hyperostosis rontalis
interna. reatment is supportive.

ial syndrome consisting o medullary carcinoma o the thyroid, hyperparathyroidism, and
pheochromocytoma.
Multiple Endocrine Adenomatosis ype IIB T is multiple endocrine adenomatosis (MEA)
variant consists o multiple mucosal neuromas, pheochromocytoma, medullary carcinoma o
the thyroid, and hyperparathyroidism. T is syndrome is inherited in an autosomal dominant
pattern. Mucosal neuromas principally involve the lips and anterior tongue. Numerous white
medullated nerve bers traverse the cornea to anastomose in the pupillary area.

rectly receive hospital treatment.
T e patients usually go rom one medical center to another to be admitted with dramatic
presentations o nonorganic symptoms related to a real organic lesion on the past medical
history.
Nager Syndrome (Acro acial Dysostosis)
Acro acial dysostosis patients have acies similar to those seen with reacher Collins syndrome.
T ey also present with preaxial upper limb de ects, microtia, atresia o the external auditory
canals, and mal ormation o the ossicles. Conductive and mixed hearing losses may occur.

B. Mental retardation common in amilies with neuro bromatosis.
C. Arises rom neurilemmal cells or sheath o Schwann and broblasts o peripheral nerves.
D. Ca é au lait spots—giant melanosomes (presence o six or more spots > 1.5 cm is diag-
nostic o neuro bromatosis even i the amily history is negative).
E. O all neuro bromatoses, 4% to 5% undergo malignant degeneration with a sudden
increase in growth o ormerly static nodules. T ese nodules may become neuro bro-

J. May present with macroglossia.
K. May involve the parotid or submaxillary gland.
L. T e nodules may be pain ul.
M. Nodules may enlarge suddenly i bleeding o the tumor occurs or i there is malignant
degeneration.
T e treatment is only to relieve pressure rom expanding masses. It usually does not recur
i the tumor is completely removed locally.
Nothnagel Syndrome
T e symptoms include dizziness, a staggering and rolling gait with irregular orms o oculomo-
tor paralysis, and nystagmus o en is present. T is syndrome is seen with tumors o the midbrain.
Oculopharyngeal Syndrome
Oculopharyngeal syndrome is characterized by hereditary ptosis and dysphagia, and is an auto-
somal dominant disease having equal incidence in both sexes. It is related to a high incidence o
esophageal carcinoma. Age o onset is between 40 and 50 years, and it is particularly common
among French Canadians. Marked weakness o the upper esophagus is observed together with
an increase in serum creatinine phosphokinase. It is a myopathy and not a neuropathy. reat-
ment includes dilatation and cricopharyngomyotomy.
Ollier Disease
Ollier disease consists o multiple chondromatosis,10%o which is associated with chondrosarcoma.
Ondine Curse
Failure o respiratory center automaticity with apnea, especially evident during sleep, is symp-
tomatic. Also known as the alveolar hypoventilation syndrome, it may be associated with
increased appetite and transient central diabetes insipidus. Hypothalamic lesions are thought to
be the cause o this disorder.
Oral-Facial-Digital Syndrome I
See Chapter 17 or oral- acial-digital syndrome I.
A lethal trait in men, it is inherited as an X-linked dominant trait limited to women. Symp-
toms include multiple hyperplastic renula, cle tongue, dystopia canthorum, hypoplasia o the
nasal alar cartilages, median cle o the upper lip, asymmetrical cle palate, digital mal orma-
tion, and mild mental retardation. About 50%o the patients have hamartoma between the lobes
o the divided tongue. T is mass consists o brous connective tissue, salivary gland tissue, ew
striated muscle bers, and rarely cartilage. One-third o the patients present with ankyloglossia.
Orbital Apex Syndrome
Orbital apex syndrome involves the nerves and vessels passing through the superior sphenoid
ssure and the optic oramen with paresis o cranial nerves III, IV, and VI. External ophthal-
moplegia is associated with internal ophthalmoplegia with a dilated pupil that does not react to
46. Chapter 1: Syndromes and Eponyms 25
either light or convergence. Ptosis as well as periorbital edema are due to ourth nerve paresis.
Sensory changes are secondary to the lacrimal rontal nasal ciliary nerves as well as the three
branches o the ophthalmic nerve. T e optic nerve usually is involved.
Ortner Syndrome
Cardiomegaly associated with laryngeal paralysis secondary to compression o the recurrent
laryngeal nerve is observed with this syndrome.
Osler-Weber-Rendu Disease (Hereditary Hemorrhagic elangiectasia)
Osler-Weber-Rendu disease is an autosomal dominant disease in which the heterozygote lives to
adult li e, whereas the homozygous state is lethal at an early age. T e patient has punctate hem-
angiomas (elevated, dilated capillaries and venules) in the mucous membrane o the lips, tongue,
mouth, GI tract, and so on. Pathologically, they are vascular sinuses o irregular size and shape
lined by a thin layer o endothelium. T e muscular and elastic coats are absent. Because o their
thin walls these vascular sinuses bleed easily, and because o the lack o muscular coating the
bleeding is di cult to control. T e patient has normal blood elements and no coagulation de ect.
T e other blood vessels are normal. I a person with this disease marries a normal person, what
are the chances that the o spring will have this condition? Because the patient with this disease
is an adult, we can assume that he is heterozygous, as the homozygote dies earlyin li e. T ere ore,
the child will have a 50% chance o having this hereditary disease.
Otopalatodigital Syndrome
Otopalatodigital syndrome is characterized by skeletal dysplasia, conductive hearing loss, and
cle palate. Middle ear anomalies are also associated with this syndrome. Although the mode
o inheritance is not known, some suggest that X-linked recessive inheritance is possible. Symp-
toms tend to be less severe in emales than in males. T e diagnosis o otopalatodigital (OPD)
syndrome is sometimes based on characteristic acies and de ormities o hands and eet. Physi-
cal eatures include mild dwar sm, mental retardation, broad nasal root, rontal and occipital
bossing, hypertelorism, small mandible, stubby, clubbed digits, low-set and small ears, winged
scapulae, malar attening, downward obliquity o the eye, and down-turned mouth. T e inner
ear has been known to display de ormities likened to a mild type o Mondini dysplasia. Surgical
attempts to improve hearing loss are not always recommended since certain de ormities, such as
a missing round window, make such attempts unsuccess ul.
Paget Disease (Osteitis De ormans)
See Chapter 17.
T is term also is used to characterize a disease o elderly women who have an in ltrated,
eczematous lesion surrounding the nipple and areola associated with subjacent intraductal car-
cinoma o the breast.
Paget Osteitis
T is disorder is related to sarcomas.
Pancoast Syndrome
See Chapter 7.
Pelizaeus-Merzbacher Disease
Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease is an X-linked recessive sudanophilic leukodystrophy. T e CNS
myelin ormsimproperlyand never matures,sometimes endingin death bythe age o 2 or 3 years.

Nystagmoid eye movements are characteristic at age 4 to 6 months, ollowed by a delay in motor
development. Prenatal amniocentesis is not use ul in detecting this disease. Neonatal stridor, a
speci c genealogy combined with a characteristic auditory brain stem response (ABR) wave can
lead to early diagnosis. Characteristic waves have been known to be missing rostral waves and
normal wave I latency. Males are af icted, whereas emales are unknowing carriers.
Pena-Shokeir Syndrome
Rare autosomal recessive, a ects newborn camptodactyly, multiple ankylosis, pulmonary hypo-
plasia, and acial anomaly. Generally poor prognosis and die shortly a er birth.
Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome
T e patient has pigmentation o the lips and oral mucosa and benign polyps o the GI tract.
Granulosa theca cell tumors have been reported in emale patients with this syndrome.
Pheochromocytoma
Pheochromocytoma is associated with neuro bromatosis, cerebellar hemangioblastoma, epen-
dymoma, astrocytoma, meningioma, spongioblastoma, multiple endocrine adenoma, or medul-
lary carcinoma o the thyroid. Pheochromocytoma with or without the tumors may be inherited
as an autosomal dominant trait. Some patients have megacolon, others su er neuro bromatosis
o Auerbach and Meissner plexuses.
Pierre Robin Syndrome
Pierre Robin syndrome consists o glossoptosis, micrognathia, and cle palate. T ere is no sex
predilection. T e etiologyis believed to be intrauterine insult at the ourth month o gestation, or
it may be hereditary. wo-thirds o the cases are associated with ophthalmologic di culties (eg,
detached retina or glaucoma), and one-third are associated with otologic problems (eg, chronic
otitis media and low-set ears). Mental retardation is present occasionally. I the patient lives past
5 years, he or she can lead a airly normal li e (see Chapter 17). T e symptoms are choking and
aspiration as a result o negative pressure created by excessive inspiratory e ort. Passing a naso-
gastric (NG) tube may alleviate the negative pressure. Aerophagia has to be treated to prevent
vomiting, airway compromise, and aspiration. racheotomy may not be the answer.
A modi cation o the Douglas lip–tongue adhesion has helped prevent early separation o
the adhesion. One theory explains that the cause may be that the etus’
s head is exed, prevent-
ing orward growth o the mandible, orcing the tongue up and backward between the palatal
shelves, and producing the triad o micrognathia, glossoptosis, and cle palate.
Plummer-Vinson Syndrome (Paterson-Kelly Syndrome)
Symptoms include dysphagia due to degeneration o the esophageal muscle, atrophy o the
papillae o the tongue, as well as microcytic hypochromic anemia. Achlorhydria, glossitis, phar-
yngitis, esophagitis, and ssures at the corner o the mouth also are observed. T e prevalence o
this disease is higher in women than in men, and usually presents in patients who are in their
ourth decade. reatment consists o iron administration, with esophagoscopy or dilatation and
to rule out carcinoma o the esophagus, particularly at the postcricoid region. Pharyngoesopha-
geal webs or stenosing may be noted.
T is disease is to be contrasted with pernicious anemia, which is a megaloblastic anemia
with diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, neurologic symptoms, enlarged spleen, and achlorhydria.
Pernicious anemia is secondary to ailure o the gastric undus to secrete intrinsic actors neces-
sary or vitamin B12 absorption. reatment consists o intramuscular vitamin B12 (ribo avin).
