Introduction. Acute rhinosinusitis is a very common disease in children, however, its complications occur much less frequently. The most common complication of rhinosinusitis is periorbital cellulitis, and its manifestations include subperiosteal abscess of the orbit. Case report. We present a case of a 3-year-old boy with a preexisting bilateral exophtalmia, who was treated twice for periorbital cellulitis in the course of acute rhinosinusitis. During the first episode, an orbital abscess occurred and was subsequently treated with external ethmoidectomy. The second episode was treated conservatively. In computed tomography, a potential dehiscence of lamina papyracea was identified as the reason for recurrent periorbital complications. The patient underwent planned adenoidectomy and endoscopic sinus surgery. He currently remains under the care of the Department. No recurrence of complicated rhinosinusitis have been diagnosed. Conclusions. Periorbital complications, which are considered an emergency in otorhinolaryngology, should be immediately treated in hospital conditions. Dehiscence of lamina papyracea may predispose to periorbital complications in children with acute rhinosinusitis. Special caution should be exercised when diagnosing patients with preexisting exophtalmia reporting with orbital complications of rhinosinusitis.

ABSTRACT A mucocele of paranasal sinus is an accumulation of mucoid secretion and desquamated epithelium within the sinus with distention of its walls. It is considered as a cyst-like expansile and destructive lesion. If the cyst invades the adjacent orbit and continues to expand within the orbital cavity, the mass may present the behavior of many benign growths primarily in the orbit. Frontoethmoidal area is more susceptible to mucocele formation due to complexity of its drainage as compared to other sinuses. Frontoethmoidal mucocele usually presents with outward and downward displacement of orbital globe and is associated with palpable mass in the superionasal and medial canthal region. In this case report, a 55-year-old woman presented with complaint of painless swelling, protrusion, and deviation of the right eye since 1 year. High resolution computed tomogram (HRCT) showed a well-defined lesion in the anterior ethmoidal region with marked thinning of lamina papyracea. Endoscopic marsupialization with frontoethmoidectomy was performed. How to cite this article Gupta R, Minhas R. Ethmoidal Mucocele: Simple Modern Management of Ophthalmic Manifestation.

Purpose Misophonia is a sound tolerance disorder condition in certain sounds that trigger intense emotional or physiological responses. While some persons may experience misophonia, a few patients suffer from misophonia. However, there is a dearth of literature on audiological assessment and management of persons with misophonia. The purpose of this report is to discuss the assessment of misophonia and highlight the management option that helped a patient with misophonia. Method A case study of a 26-year-old woman with the complaint of decreased tolerance to specific sounds affecting quality of life is reported. Audiological assessment differentiated misophonia from hyperacusis. Management included retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy based on the principles described by P. J. Jastreboff and Jastreboff (2014). A misophonia questionnaire was administered at regular intervals to monitor the effectiveness of therapy. Results A detailed case history and audiological evaluations including pure-tone audiogram and Johnson Hyperacusis Index revealed the presence of misophonia. The patient benefitted from intervention, and the scores of the misophonia questionnaire indicated a decrease in the severity of the problem. Conclusions It is important to differentially diagnose misophonia and hyperacusis in persons with sound tolerance disorders. Retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy can help patients who suffer from misophonia.

This case report describes the positive outcome of a therapeutic intervention that integrated an intensive, residential component with follow-up telepractice for a 21 year old male who stutters. This therapy utilized an eclectic approach to intensive therapy in conjunction with a 12-month follow-up via video telepractice. The results indicated that the client benefited from the program as demonstrated by a reduction in percent stuttered syllables, a reduction in stuttering severity, and a change in attitudes and feelings related to stuttering and speaking.

Real-time amplitude contour and spectral displays were used in teaching speech production skills to a profoundly deaf, nonspeaking boy. This child had a visual attention problem, a behavior problem, and a poor academic record. In individual instruction, he was first taught to produce features of speech, for example, friction, nasal, and stop, which are present in vocalizations of 6- to 9-month-old infants, and then to combine these features in syllables and words. He made progress in speech, although sign language and finger spelling were taught at the same time. Speech production skills were retained after instruction was terminated. The results suggest that deaf children are able to extract information about the features of speech from visual displays, and that a developmental sequence should be followed as far as possible in teaching speech production skills to them.

On page 112 of the report by Wilson, Oldring, and Mueller ("Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Dissection: A Case Report Involving Return of Spastic Dysphonia after Initial Surgery," pp. 112-118), the paraphrase from Cooper (1971), "if the patients are carefully selected and are willing to remain in therapy for a long period of time," was inadvertantly put in quotation marks.
