Main Outcome Measure

Objectives Radiological balloon dilatation of lower oesophageal strictures is common practice. Other than some early reports from our own centre, there is little published regarding radiological dilatation of pharyngeal and upper oesophageal strictures and less still on radiological balloon dilatation of post-total laryngectomy and pharyngolaryngectomy neo-pharyngeal strictures. Standard practise is bouginage under general anaesthaesia. The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of radiological balloon dilatation for the treatment of dysphagia secondary to neopharyngeal strictures in patients who have undergone laryngectomy. Methods A tertiary care centre case series of 20 consecutive patients (17 males and 3 females aged 40 to 84) with pharyngeal stricture and dysphagia post-total laryngectomy or pharyngolaryngectomy who underwent balloon dilatation of the stricture under radiological guidance. Maintenance of swallowing was the main outcome measure. Results 5 patients gained relief of their dysphagia with 1 balloon dilatation only. 9 patients required more than 1 dilatation to maintain swallowing. 2 patients had balloon dilatation procedures and stent insertion for palliative relief of dysphagia from known recurrent malignant disease. 3 patients failed to maintain swallowing with repeat dilatations. No patients suffered any significant complications such as perforation. Conclusions Balloon dilatation is minimally invasive and less traumatic than rigid pharyngoscopy with bouginage dilatation. It is well tolerated. It may be repeated frequently and can successfully relieve strictures of the pharynx in patients who have undergone total laryngectomy or pharyngolaryngectomy.

High Index Of Suspicion

Background: Tuberculous mastitis (TM) is a rare extra pulmonary presentation of tuberculosis. It may be problematic to distinguish from carcinoma breast, a condition with which it may coexist.  Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) / biopsy are indispensable for diagnosis and tuberculosis culture when positive may be very valuable to guide antimicrobial therapy.Aims and Objectives:  To disseminate the message to the concerned expertise that it can present a diagnostic problem on radiological and microbiological investigations, and thus a high index of suspicion is needed.Materials and Methods: 19 cases of tubercular mastitis between  January 2012 to March 2014 were identified and included in the present study. Cytology and biopsy alongwith AFB stain was done for confirmation.Results: Age ranged between 23- 55 years (median 33 years). Axillary nodes were palpable in 9 (47.3%) patients. Acid Fast Bacilli stain which was positive in only 3 patients. All the 19 patients were started on antitubercular treatment.Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of early diagnosis and aggressive medical and if required surgical management to cure this disease.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.8(3) 2017 72-75
