AbstractObjective:We report the first case of nasal and nasopharyngeal amyloidosis secondary to multiple myeloma; this case also represents the fourth report of systemic nasal or nasopharyngeal amyloidosis.Method:Case report and review of the world literature concerning nasal and nasopharyngeal amyloidosis epidemiology, presentation and management.Results:Nasal and nasopharyngeal amyloidosis is rare. The presentation, clinical course and treatment are discussed for the presented patient. The amyloid tumour, which recurred in correlation with the progressive transformation of the multiple myeloma, was treated surgically. Subsequent localised radiotherapy decreased the size and growth rate of the tumour.Conclusion:Amyloid should be considered as a cause of resistant or recurrent epistaxis provided a mass lesion is seen on radiological imaging. Radiotherapy may be a treatment option in nasal and nasopharyngeal amyloidosis.

Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas

Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) of the cavernous sinus are arteriovenous connections located in the dura mater leaflets of this region. The usual presentation of a DAVF is predominantly ocular, with symptoms such as diplopia, conjunctival injection, involvement of cranial nerves III/IV/VI, exophthalmos, and chemosis. Trigeminal neuralgia caused by a cavernous DAVF is extremely rare. To the best our knowledge, this is only the fourth report in the world literature. We describe the case of a patient treated by embolization in whom the only presenting symptom of DAVF was trigeminal neuralgia. After endovascular treatment, the patient became asymptomatic.

Tonsillar Metastasis

AbstractMetastatic carcinoma of the palatine tonsil is rare, with only 92 cases reported in the world literature. We report a case of tonsillar metastasis from the colon. This is an unusual case not only because it is the first case report of tonsillar metastasis from this site but also because the tonsillar secondary is the first sign of the primary disease.

Sialadenoma Papilliferum

AbstractObjective:We report a rare case of sialadenoma papilliferum.Method:A case report of sialadenoma papilliferum is presented.Results:A 67-year-old woman presented with recurrent epistaxis. She was found to have an exophytic, well circumscribed mass on the nasal septum mucosa. The lesion was completely excised. A diagnosis of sialadenoma papilliferum was made based on the characteristic histological pattern. Follow up showed no evidence of recurrence. Subsequently, the patient remained well without complaint of epistaxis.Conclusion:To our knowledge, this is the first report in the world literature of sialadenoma papilliferum of the nasal cavity. This case indicates that this rare tumour can present with epistaxis, and can be resolved by means of total excision.

AbstractObjective:We report a case of vertebral artery dissection following direct laryngoscopy, and we provide an update on current knowledge regarding this condition and its relationship to movements of the neck.Method:A case report and review of the world literature are presented.Results:Vertebral artery dissection is an uncommon event leading to stroke. It has been associated with many risk factors, particularly extreme movement of the cervical spine. The pathogenesis of the condition and the true aetiological significance of neck movement are not known.Conclusion:To our knowledge, we present the first case of vertebral artery dissection following direct laryngoscopy. We highlight the need for caution when considering neck pain in patients after direct laryngoscopy.

AbstractObjective:We report an extremely rare case of bilateral posterior nasal septal abscess in an otherwise healthy adult patient.Method:Case report and a review of the world literature concerning atraumatic nasal septal abscess and its management.Results:The development of an atraumatic nasal septal abscess is rare, but it has been reported in association with acute sinusitis, in patients with poor immunity and in children. The presentation, clinical course and treatment are discussed in the presented patient.Conclusion:To our knowledge, this is the first report in the world literature of a bilateral posterior septal abscess associated with acute sinusitis in an otherwise healthy adult.

AbstractTwo cases of bilateral moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss due to oral administration of metronidazole are reported. There has been only one case report of deafness following metronidazole therapy in the world literature. The hearing loss recovered gradually in a period of four to six weeks following withdrawal of drug and oral steroid therapy. The possible mechanism of ototoxicity is discussed. Awareness by the treating physician of ototoxicity due to any drug is stressed.

AbstractObjectives:We report a case of otogenic fungal pachymeningitis in a diabetic patient who presented with multiple cranial nerve palsies and nasopharyngeal swelling.Methods:We present a case report, we describe the investigations, management and clinical course of fungal pachymeningitis, and we present a review of the world literature on fungal and non-fungal pachymeningitis.Results:To our knowledge, this is the first report of fungal pachymeningitis with magnetic resonance imaging features suggestive of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. It is also the first reported case with aspergillus cultured from both a dural biopsy and the ear canal.Conclusion:Fungal pachymeningitis is a rare condition which may present to otorhinolaryngologists. Its clinical and radiological findings can be confused with those of nasopharyngeal carcinoma; fungal pachymeningitis should thus be included in the differential diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Feline dysautonomia is a devastating disease characterized by neuronal degeneration in autonomic ganglia that results in clinical signs related to dysfunction of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The cause is unknown and this disease has a poor prognosis and no definitive treatment. Most reports have been described in few countries around the world, but the prevalence may be underestimated in countries like Brazil. This study describes the progression and clinicopathological changes of dysautonomia in a 17-month-old female Brazilian shorthair cat.

History Of

A 9-year-old male, castrated Chihuahua was examined because of a 7-day history of intermittent vomiting. A mass in the small intestine was identified on abdominal radiography and ultrasonography. Laparotomy revealed a mass lesion originating in the ileum, and surgical resection was performed. The mass was histologically diagnosed as adenosquamous cell carcinoma. Chemotherapy with carboplatin was initiated, but the dog was suspected to have experienced recurrence 13 months after surgery and died 3 months later. To our knowledge, this is the first case report to describe the clinical course of adenosquamous cell carcinoma in the small intestine of a dog.
