Juvenile papillomatosis is the most common benign laryngeal tumor in children, caused by HPV types 6 and 11. It is thought children contract it from their mothers during birth if the mother had HPV. Papillomas typically affect the supraglottic and glottic regions but can spread lower. Children who had tracheostomies are more likely to have tracheal and stoma involvement due to seeding. Symptoms include hoarseness, difficulty breathing, or stridor in children ages 3-5. Diagnosis is via laryngoscopy and biopsy. Treatment involves laser excision to remove papillomas while preserving the voice, but recurrence is common and requires repeated procedures.
This document discusses juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA), a rare benign but invasive tumor that arises in adolescent males near the sphenopalatine foramen. JNA presents with nasal obstruction and epistaxis. Diagnosis involves imaging like CT and MRI to determine the extent of involvement. Treatment depends on staging and may include preoperative embolization, surgery such as endoscopic resection, or radiation for advanced cases. Complete resection aims to prevent recurrence while minimizing complications like bleeding, infection, and nerve damage.
The document discusses juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA), a benign but locally invasive vascular tumor that primarily affects adolescent males. It arises near the sphenopalatine foramen and can spread medially into the nasopharynx and laterally into surrounding structures. Presentation varies from nasal obstruction to cranial nerve palsies. Imaging shows a hypervascular mass often with bone erosion. Diagnosis is confirmed histologically. Staging guides surgical approach, with endoscopic resection increasingly used for early-stage tumors. Complete resection while preserving function is the goal.
Tympanosclerosis is characterized by hyaline deposits in the tympanic membrane and middle ear space caused by chronic infection or inflammation. It results in the degeneration of connective tissue and deposition of calcium and phosphate. Common symptoms include conductive hearing loss and occasional tinnitus. Diagnosis is made by otoscopy showing white plaques and audiometry showing a conductive hearing loss. Treatment depends on the size and location of plaques, with small plaques sometimes removed before grafting but large plaques usually just addressed with hearing aids.
Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is a rare, benign tumor that occurs almost exclusively in adolescent males. It originates from the area around the sphenopalatine foramen and grows locally in an infiltrative manner, often extending into nearby structures like the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, and infratemporal fossa. While typically non-cancerous, it can be locally aggressive and in rare cases extend intracranially. Complete surgical removal is the primary treatment, though pre-operative embolization may help control blood loss.
Lateral sinus thrombophlebitis is an inflammation of the inner wall of the lateral venous sinus caused by infection from acute or chronic ear diseases. Bacteria enter the sinus and cause a thrombus formation within the sinus, obstructing drainage. Common symptoms include fever, headache, and papilledema. Diagnosis involves blood tests and imaging like CT or MRI. Treatment requires antibiotics, surgery to drain abscesses and remove clots, and sometimes anticoagulants or jugular vein ligation. Complications can include sepsis, meningitis, abscesses if not treated promptly.

Glomus tumours are benign, slow-growing, hypervascular tumours that originate from glomus bodies in the middle ear. They are most commonly seen in the 5th decade of life and affect females more often than males. On histology, they appear as clusters of cells arranged in a nested pattern surrounded by a vascular stroma. Surgical excision is the primary treatment, though pre-operative embolization of feeding vessels can help reduce blood loss. Glomus tumours can spread locally within the temporal bone and occasionally metastasize to distant sites like the lungs. Advanced cases may require a combined surgical and radiotherapy approach.
Perichondritis refers to inflammation of the perichondrium of the external ear. It is usually caused by trauma such as piercing or burns and the most common organisms involved are Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. The diagnosis is clinical based on signs of inflammation and pain in the cartilaginous ear. If left untreated, it can lead to abscess, avascular necrosis of cartilage, and deformity of the pinna. Treatment involves early use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, drainage of any abscesses, and conservative surgery if resistant including irrigation and excision of necrotic cartilage to preserve the structure of the ear.
This document discusses three chronic nasal diseases: atrophic rhinitis, rhinosporidiosis, and rhinoscleroma. Atrophic rhinitis causes nasal atrophy and foul odors. It can be primary from infection or nutritional factors, or secondary from other conditions like sinusitis. Rhinosporidiosis is caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi and presents as red nasal lesions. Rhinoscleroma is caused by Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis and presents in stages from rhinitis to fibrosis, commonly affecting the nose and spreading to other areas. Treatment involves antibiotics, surgery, or other measures depending on the specific condition.

Myringoplasty is a procedure to repair a perforated eardrum using a graft without examining the middle ear. It aims to replace the missing fibrous layer and allow regeneration of skin and mucosa over the graft. The document discusses the indications, contraindications, surgical approaches, techniques, post-op care, complications and advantages/disadvantages of the underlay and overlay techniques. The key steps of underlay involve freshening the perforation edges, elevating the tympanomeatal flap, placing the graft under the flap and reposing the flap. Overlay places the graft over the remaining eardrum and covers it with the elevated skin.
Keratosis obturans is a condition characterized by an accumulation of desquamated keratin in the external auditory meatus. It occurs when the normal migration of epithelium from the tympanic membrane to the posterior meatal wall is obstructed by wax or a foreign body, causing an abnormal separation of keratin. There are two main types - a silent type caused by this abnormal keratin separation, and an inflammatory type caused by acute ear canal inflammation. Clinically, it presents as a white keratin plug occluding the ear canal, sometimes with accompanying granulations or canal widening. Treatment involves removing the cause if present, using keratolytic agents, and potentially surgical removal under general anesthesia for recurrent cases
The document discusses Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS). FESS is a minimally invasive procedure that uses an endoscope to access and treat the paranasal sinuses. It aims to restore sinus function by re-establishing ventilation and mucociliary clearance. Key steps in FESS include uncinectomy to remove the uncinate process, maxillary antrostomy to access the maxillary sinus, and ethmoidectomy to access the ethmoid sinuses. Proper identification of anatomical landmarks like the middle turbinate, uncinate process, and bulla ethmoidalis is important for successful FESS.
Nasal polyps are non-cancerous growths that can develop in the nose or sinuses. They are most common in people over 50 years of age and affect males more than females. Histologically, nasal polyps contain edema fluid and high numbers of eosinophil inflammatory cells. The most common sites for nasal polyps are the ethmoid and maxillary sinuses. Nasal polyps can cause symptoms like nasal obstruction, loss of smell, sneezing and headaches. Treatment involves steroid nasal sprays, oral steroids or surgery to remove the polyps.
The maxillary sinus is the largest and most commonly involved sinus in malignancies. Maxillary sinus carcinoma arises from the sinus lining and spreads locally through bone destruction and invasion of surrounding structures. Distant metastases occasionally occur in the lungs. Diagnosis involves radiography, CT scan, and biopsy. Treatment depends on tumor stage and may involve surgery, radiation therapy, or chemoradiation. Prognosis diminishes with increased stage, with a 5-year survival rate of 40-50% even with advances in multimodal therapy.
The document discusses vocal nodules and polyps, which are benign growths on the vocal folds caused by vocal abuse or misuse. Vocal nodules are small lesions less than 3mm located at the front of the vocal folds, while polyps are larger lesions. Symptoms include hoarseness, vocal fatigue, and difficulty speaking. Treatment involves voice therapy, medical management, and surgery to remove the growths if they are large or not improving. Surgical complications can include scarring and loss of voice if the layers of the vocal folds are damaged during removal of the nodules or polyps.
This document provides information on juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA), a rare benign tumor that occurs mostly in adolescent males. JNAs originate from sex steroid-stimulated hamartomatous tissue in the nasal cavity. They are highly vascular tumors that can locally invade structures in the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, and skull base. Imaging like CT and MRI are used to determine the extent of disease. The Fisch staging system, which classifies JNAs into 4 types based on their extent, is commonly used to guide treatment planning.
A rhinolith forms around a small foreign body introduced into the nose, causing inflammation and pus secretion high in calcium and magnesium. This allows mineral salts to precipitate over time, forming a stony mass. Rhinoliths typically cause unilateral nasal obstruction, foul discharge, pain, and ulceration. They appear on examination as an irregular, stony hard mass and can be seen on imaging tests. Rhinoliths are usually removed surgically under general anesthesia.
Atrophic rhinitis, also known as ozaena, is a chronic inflammation of the nasal mucosa that results in atrophy, squamous metaplasia, and crust formation. It is characterized by the atrophy of the nasal mucosa and turbinates, scanty viscid secretions, loss of ciliated columnar epithelium, and crust formation. The pathophysiology involves periarteritis and endarteritis of the nasal mucosa, decreasing blood supply and resulting in atrophy of mucous glands, epithelium, and metaplasia of the ciliated columnar epithelium. Treatment involves antibiotics, estrogen therapy, surgical procedures to narrow the nasal cavity and increase lubrication, and sal

Dr. Gladson M. Robin discusses juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma, a rare benign tumor that most commonly affects the posterior nasopharynx near the sphenopalatine foramen. The tumor is composed of blood vessels and fibrous tissue in varying ratios, leading to severe bleeding risks from biopsies. While usually benign, the tumor can invade local structures like the cranial cavity or spread indirectly through nearby sinuses. Treatment involves surgical resection, with radiation used for intracranial extensions or inaccessible recurrences due to its ability to reduce blood supply over time. Recurrence rates for juvenile angiofibroma are reported in up to 35% of cases.
Juvenile angiofibroma is a rare, benign and highly vascular tumor that develops almost exclusively in adolescent males within the sphenopalatine foramen. It presents with recurrent severe nosebleeds and progressive nasal obstruction. Imaging such as CT and MRI are used to determine the extent of the tumor. While surgery is the primary treatment, preoperative embolization and endoscopic resection are often used for early-stage tumors to reduce bleeding and complications. Advanced tumors may require open approaches like mid-facial degloving. Recurrence rates remain high due to the invasive nature of the tumor.
1) Rathke's pouch forms the pituitary gland, which must migrate to the hypothalamus during development. In some individuals, pituitary tissue remains in the roof of the pharynx.
2) Down syndrome results from trisomy 21 and is characterized by midface hypoplasia, reducing nasopharynx and oropharynx volume.
3) Crouzon syndrome is an autosomal dominant craniosynostosis with midface hypoplasia and relative mandibular prognathism, potentially causing airway obstruction.
Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is a rare benign tumor that affects adolescent males. It is locally aggressive and grows in the nasal cavity and nasopharynx. The tumor is highly vascular and can extend to surrounding areas like the pterygopalatine fossa, infratemporal fossa, and intracranially. Treatment involves preoperative embolization followed by surgical resection through an endoscopic or open approach depending on tumor extent. Close postoperative monitoring is needed due to the risk of recurrence.
1. Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is a rare, benign tumour that occurs primarily in adolescent males and is highly vascular.
2. It originates from the posterior nasal cavity near the sphenopalatine foramen and can extend into local structures like the sinuses, orbit and cranium.
3. Treatment involves preoperative embolization followed by surgical excision via various approaches depending on tumour extent. Endoscopic removal is used for smaller tumours while more extensive approaches are needed for larger or invasive tumours.
1. Carcinoma of the oral cavity most commonly arises from the lips, tongue, floor of mouth, cheek and retromolar trigone. Major risk factors include smoking, alcohol, betel nut chewing and HPV infection.
2. Early lesions are typically treated with wide local excision or radiotherapy. More advanced tumors involving surrounding bone or lymph nodes may require surgery such as partial glossectomy or mandibulectomy combined with neck dissection followed by postoperative radiotherapy.
3. Prognosis depends on tumor size, location and extent of spread - tumors of the posterior tongue or those invading surrounding structures carry a worse prognosis.

2. Risk factors include smoking, alcohol use, and HPV infection. Tumors most commonly arise from the pyriform sinus.
3. Diagnosis involves endoscopy, imaging, and biopsy to assess primary tumor size and spread to lymph nodes. Most are squamous cell carcinomas.
Paragangliomas, also known as glomus tumours, are rare tumours that arise from paraganglionic tissue. They most commonly occur in the middle ear, jugular foramen, and along the vagus nerve. Surgical resection is the primary treatment, but pre-operative embolization and radiotherapy can help reduce tumour size and vascularity. Complete surgical removal is difficult due to the complex anatomy of the skull base and risk of damaging nearby cranial nerves. Adjuvant radiotherapy is often used post-operatively to prevent tumour regrowth. Functionally active tumours can cause issues with blood pressure control and circulatory collapse during and after surgery.

Situated in the anterior inferior part of nasal septum.
Four arteries anastomose here to form a vascular plexus “Kiesselbach’s Plexus”
Usual site for Epistaxis in children & young adults.
Another plexus of veins is situated inferior to posterior end of inferior turbinate, called “Woodruff’s Plexus”. It is a site of posterior epistaxis.
Similar to Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (20)
This document discusses uveal tract diseases, specifically uveitis (inflammation of the uveal tract). It defines posterior uveitis as inflammation of the choroid. Common causes of posterior uveitis include infectious diseases like tuberculosis, fungi, viruses, and parasites, as well as non-infectious conditions like autoimmune diseases. Symptoms include vision defects, flashes of light, and positive or negative scotomas. Signs include vitreous opacities, active or healed patches of choroiditis. Choroiditis is classified based on location and number of lesions, and can lead to complications if not treated properly with corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, or specific treatments for the
Hymenolepis nana, also known as the dwarf tapeworm, is the smallest and most common tapeworm found in the human intestine. It inhabits the proximal ileum and is most prevalent in warm climates. H. nana has a direct lifecycle through ingestion of eggs or an indirect lifecycle involving rat fleas as intermediate hosts. Most infections are asymptomatic but some people experience abdominal pain, diarrhea, and pruritis. Diagnosis is made by finding the pathogen's distinctive eggs on microscopic examination of feces. Treatment involves niclosamide or praziquantel which act against both adult worms and larvae. Maintaining hygiene and sanitation helps prevent transmission.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

2. INTRODUCTION
It is also known as
nasopharyngeal
fibroma .
It is a rare tumor
but commonest of
all benign tumor of
nasopharynx.
3. ETIOLOGY
Idiopathic
Mostly seen in adolescent males in 2nd decade of
life.
Hormonal Theory
• Testosterone dependent
• Patients have a hamartomatous nidus of vascular
tissue and this is activated to form angiofibroma
when male sex hormone appears.
5. GROWTH
Locally invasive benign
tumors.
From site of origin to nasal
cavity, nasopharynx and
into the pterygopalatine
fossa, running behind the
posterior wall of maxillary
sinus which is pushed
forward as the tumor
grows. Laterally it extends
into pterygomaxillary
fossa then to
infratemporal fossa and
cheek.
6. PATHOLOGY
Severe bleeding as the vessels lose ability to contract
Made up of vascular and fibrous tissue mostly the vessels are just
endothelium lined spaces with no elastic or muscle coat
8. EXTENSION
Nasal cavity- Causing nasal obstruction,
epistaxis and nasal discharge
Paranasal sinuses- Maxillary, sphenoid and
ethmoid sinuses can all be invaded
Pterygomaxillary fossa, infratemporal fossa
and cheek
Orbits-proptosis, frog face deformity
9. EXTENSION
CRANIAL CAVITY
• ANTERIOR CRANIAL FOSSA
through roof of ethmoids or
cribriform plate
• MIDDLE CRANIAL FOSSA
through erosion of floor of middle
cranial fossa or indirectly by
invading the sphenoid sinus and
sella tunica.
11. SYMPTOMS
Progressive nasal obstruction and denasal
speech
Conductive hearing loss and otitis media with
effusion
Mass in the nasopharynx
Broadening of nasal bridge
Proptosis
Swelling of cheek
Conductive hearing loss and serous otitis
media due to obstruction of Eustachian tube
12. SIGNS
Anterior Rhinoscopy –
1. Pink or purplish nasopharyngeal mass
2. sessile, lobulated or smooth
3. obstructs one or both choanae
4. Consistency is firm but digital palpation is
never done because it can result in
profuse bleeding.
13. INVESTIGATIONS
CT Scan
• Investigation of choice
• The extent of tumour,
bony destruction or
displacements can be
seen.
• Hollman-Miller Sign
Anterior bowing of maxilla
and Posterior bowing of
ptyerigoid.
Contrast CT scan juvenile
nasopharyngeal angiofibroma.
Note the pterygopalatine fossa
and infratemporal fossa
extension
15. STAGING
Sessions’s classification, modified by Radkowski reflects
IA Tumor limited to nose and nasopharyngeal vault
IB Extension to paranasal sinuses
IIA Minimal extension to pterygomaxillary fissure (PMF)
IIB Full extension to PMF and/or erosion of orbital bones
IIC Extension to infratemporal fossa and/or cheek or
posterior to pterygoid plates
IIIA Erosion of skull base: minimal intracranial
IIIB Extensive intracranial and/or cavernous sinus
extension
16. MEASURES TO REDUCE THE
VASCULARITY OF THE
TUMORREDUCE THE
VASCULARITY OF TUMOR
LARITY OF TUMOR
• .
• Embolization of the feeding vessels.
• Estrogen therapy: Stilboestrol 2.5 mg three
times a day for 3 weeks. Not preferred
currently.
• Preoperative radiation: Generally not
favored.
• Cryotherapy.
17. TREATMENT(OPEN
SURGICAL EXCISION)
Surgical approaches
Transpalatine: Tumours confined to nasopharynx, nasal cavity and
sphenoid sinus.
Le Fort 1 osteotomy approach: For extension to paranasal sinuses,
pterygopalatine fossa and infratemporal fossa.
Medial maxillectomy: It provides access to orbit, ethmoid and sphenoid
sinuses and anterior skull base.
Sardana’s approach: Transpalatine + Sublabial.
Extended lateral rhinotomy
Extended Denker’s approach
Intracranial-extracranial
Infratemporal fossa
21. MANAGEMENT OF
RECURRENCE
Radiotherapy
• 3000-3500 cGy of radiation given in 15 to
20 sittings.
Chemotherapy
• Drugs like Vincristine, Doxorubicin ,
Dacarbazine
The above methods can arrest the growth
and cause tumor regression but not total
tumor eradication
