Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a group of three rare diseases (annual incidence less than 4/1000.000 H) with increasing aggressiveness respectively: Eosinophilic granuloma (unifocal solitary osteolytic lesion), Hand-Schuller-Christian disease (multifocal lesion) and Letterer-Siwe disease (the most aggressive, disseminated disease with systemic manifestations). The bone is the most commonly involved with a predilection for the skull. Some cases of temporal bone localisations have been described in the literature. We report a case of an 18 month child presenting a LCH of the temporal bone misdiagnosed at the beginning as an otoantritis. In fact, the child presented a retro-auricular swelling with inflammatory characters, fever and otorrhea. The exploration before surgery revealed besides the extensive temporal lesion, hematologic perturbations, a splenomegaly and a hepatomegaly. The histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of a LCH. We describe the diagnosis challenges, the surgical difficulties and the therapeutic response of the child and give a review of what was published on LCH and Letterer-Siwe disease.

Introduction: Eagle syndrome characteristic is constant pain in the oropharynx and face, the cause is elongated styloid process or calcified stylohyoid ligament. Eagle syndrome (ES) is first time described, by an otolaryngologist, Watt W. Eagle, in1937. The stylohyoid complex is made of styloid process, stylohyoid ligament, and the small cornus of the hyoid bone. The normal length of the styloid process is individually variable, but in the majority of patients it is about 20 mm. Eagle’s syndrome is treated surgically and nonsurgically. A pharmacological approach by transpharyngeal infiltration of steroids or anesthetics in the tonsillar fossa has been used, but styloidectomy is the treatment of choice. Styloidectomy can be performed by an intra- or an extraoral approach. Case Presentation: A 22 years old male, presented with complain of recurrent sore throat with frequently odynophagia and sometime ear ache on both side (predominantly on left side) since one year. By taking the history, pharyngoscopy and evaluating the radiography, the diagnosis of elongated processus styloideus and recurrent acute tonsillitis was made. After completing the blood examination and anesthesia consultation, patient selected for tonsillectomy and bilateral styloidectomy under local anesthesia. At first tonsillectomy was done, then processus styloideus identified intraorally and dissected from periost, and 1cm from the middle end catted. The pharyngeal wall was repaired no serious bleeding, Augmentin injection advised preoperatively and postoperatively, patient discharged from hospital after 48hr. Three months after procedure patient checked again with no complain. Conclusion: Already eagle syndrome is a rare case, sometime the coexistence of recurrent acute tonsillitis (RAT) and chronic tonsillitis(CT) at the same patient may mask the diagnosis of elongated process styloideus and for that reason if the odynophagia is persistent in a patient with RAT and CT, for evaluation of processus styloidus it is better to do at least the plain neck lateral radiography.

Perforations of the tympanic membrane (TM) can result from trauma, middle-ear disease, or the treatment of middle-ear disease. I aim to assess the level of hearing loss in different sizes and sites of TM perforation in patients undergoing myringoplasty or tympanoplasty and to correlate the size and site of TM perforation. Records from 128 patients who had undergone tympanoplasty or myringoplasty at our clinic between August 2008 and November 2012 were examined retrospectively for this study. For evaluating the TM, the site of the perforation was classified as the following divisions: 3 quadrants (Anterior, Posterior and Central). Audiometric evaluation was performed using a clinical audiometer calibrated according to ISO standard. Hearing level was measured as the mean air conduction and mean air-bone gap (ABG) threshold at 500, 1000, 2000, and 3000 Hz and, we also categorized the frequencies as low frequency (250, 500, 1000) and high frequency (2000, 3000, 4000, 6000) to analyze the hearing in detail. We categorized the location of TM perforation simply as anterior 56 (43.8%), posterior 42 (32.8%) and central 30 (23.4%) based on the relation of the center of the perforation with the line extending from the malleus handle. According to the mean ABG among the groups, ANOVA analysis revealed that, they have significant difference (p=0.008). Categories of the hearing loss was classified as low frequency (250, 500, 1000 Hz) and high frequency (2000, 3000, 4000, 6000 Hz). We found that the posterior perforation in TM showed increasing air conduction and ABG at low frequency hearing level (p=0.023, p=0.072).

Introduction: Leiomyoma are benign tumours witch develop on smooth muscles fibers. The latter are extremely rare at the area of the nasal cavities; they develop at this, level from smooth muscles fibers composing the vascular walls. Case report: We report the case of a patient aged 59 years, who has high blood pressure, with whom the diagnosis of leiomyoma of the nasal cavity has been kept after biopsy remove, which invaded the total right nasal cavity and invading on top the ethmoidal homolateral cells and emerged on back in the nasopharynx. Conclusion: Leiomyoma are rare benign tumours, their treatment is surgical with full exeresis which is the only way to recovery. Keywords: Leiomyoma, benign tumours, smooth muscles fibers, Nasal cavities.
