An eyelid or orbital lipogranuloma can occur following nasal packing with liquid paraffin, petroleum jelly or an antibiotic-based cream. It usually presents a few weeks or months after the initial procedure. We present a report of three such cases of sclerosing lipogranuloma involving the eyelid, which occurred following a sinonasal surgery where n...

Background Allergic rhinitis (AR) is the most common cause of rhinitis impairing quality of life and increased cost of health care. Objectives Primary objective was to determine environmental exposure to pollen allergens of aerobiological flora associated with AR by Skin Prick Test (SPT). Methods Bi-directional, cross-sectional study conducted af...
Article
Giant solitary submandibular duct calculus and multiple calculi of the gland are extremely rare. This occurrence along with more deep and proximally placed common calculi in submandibular gland may occasionally cause a dilemma in selection of the appropriate surgical approach in the present era of sialoendoscopic surgery. There is a high chance of...

Nasal polyposis is often encountered in rhinology practice. Those who fail conservative management, a definitive surgery is essential to achieve sufficient ventilation and drainage of the affected sinuses by using either microdebrider or conventional instruments for functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). A prospective study was conducted on 40...

Introduction: Otosclerosis is a primary and exclusive disease of the otic capsule, known to affect spontaneously only humans. The most classical manifestation is conductive hearing loss secondary to stapedial fixation. Perkins introduced argon laser stapedotomy in 1980 because it appeared that laser offered some technical advantage over conventiona...

Less than 10% of the patients with plasma cell neoplasms present with a solitary plasmacytoma. Though the nasal cavity is a common extramedullary site, the occurrence is extremely rare. Two cases of solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma of the sinonasal region are reported. The first of which is sinonasal plasmacytoma with concomitant HIV, an associ...

Laryngeal cysts are a mixed group of benign lesions that have been classified as per their site of origin and histopathology. We report a case of an interarytenoid cyst in a 56 year old male with hyperparathyroidism. The cyst was resected under an operating microscope using KTP532 laser. It was reported on histopathology as an oncocytic variant of...
