  • Article: Oral infections and antibiotic therapy.
    Marilyn E Levi, Vincent D Eusterman
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Oral infections commonly originate from an odontogenic source in adults and from tonsil and lymphatic sources in children. Odontogenic infections arise from advanced dental caries or periodontal disease. Oral trauma, radiation injury, chemotherapy mucositis, salivary gland infection, lymph node abscess, and postoperative infection are potential nonodontogenic sources of infections that could potentially be life threatening. This article reviews the serious nature and potential danger that exists from oral infection and the antibiotics available to treat them are reviewed. Successful treatment requires an understanding of the microflora, the regional anatomy, the disease process, the treatment methods available, and interdisciplinary team collaboration.

    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: The oral medicine specialist and oral pathologist are the disciplined subspecialists in dentistry who deal with oral disease and related systemic conditions. Dental colleagues are an invaluable resource for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases unfamiliar to the otolaryngologist. This article reviews the process of history taking, the physical examination, head and neck examination, oral soft tissue anatomy, the oral examination, and screening and diagnostic testing.

    Article: Pitfalls in imaging: differentiating intravagal and carotid body paragangliomas.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: We report a case of an intravagal paraganglioma and a case of a carotid body tumor to illustrate a variable presentation of the former in which it mimicked the latter on preoperative imaging. The atypical imaging features of the intravagal paraganglioma included inferior extension to the level of the carotid bifurcation and splaying of the internal and external carotid arteries, features that are similar to those seen in a case of carotid body paraganglioma. Proper differentiation of these lesions permits more appropriate preoperative counseling and surgical preparation. When using magnetic resonance angiography rather than catheter angiography, we advocate the inclusion of gadolinium contrast and three-dimensional time-of-flight techniques to better demonstrate the position of the tumor relative to the carotid bifurcation.

  • Article: Allergic fungal sinusitis: report of 3 cases and review of the literature.
    Craig C Willard, Vincent D Eusterman, Philip L Massengil
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Allergic fungal sinusitis is a form of noninvasive fungal disease resulting from an IgE-mediated hypersensitivity reaction in atopic individuals. Allergic fungal sinusitis can present with a continuum of symptoms. Accumulation of allergic inspissated mucin may cause simple nasal obstruction or progress to facial deformity with osteolytic destruction and intracranial extension. Multiple species of fungi are now recognized as etiologic factors responsible for initiating the inflammatory response. This article discusses 3 cases involving Aspergillus and Curvularia species, and reviews diagnostic image findings, pathophysiology, and medical-surgical management of this increasingly common disease.

  • Article: Gaze-evoked amaurosis: a report of five cases.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: To highlight the various causes of gaze-evoked amaurosis. Retrospective noncomparative interventional case series. Five patients treated at our facility over the past 6 years. Clinical presentation, radiologic studies, surgical management, and postsurgical results are presented. Visual acuity, clinical findings of gaze-evoked amaurosis. Only two patients had classic intraorbital etiologies, one with an intraconal cavernous hemangioma and one with an intraconal foreign body. Three patients had extraorbital processes, two with orbital fractures and one with a sinus tumor. Only two of our patients initially were aware of the gaze-evoked amaurosis at presentation. Appropriate surgery was curative in all cases. Gaze-evoked amaurosis is a rare condition, classically implicating intraconal orbital pathology. In one of the largest case series published to date, we found extraorbital etiologies are also capable of producing gaze-evoked vision loss. Gaze-evoked amaurosis should be suspected and tested for in any orbital condition.
