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.

Travel History

COVID-19 has now become a pandemic. It has spread from Wuhan, China, in December 2019 to a large number of countries within three months. The objective of this work is to report the initial experience with epidemiologic and clinical features, as well as with the management of COVID-19 patients in India. This is a descriptive case series of the first 21 COVID-19 infected patients confirmed with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and admitted to a tertiary care centre in India from 01.02.2020 to 19.03.2020. Clinical, laboratory, and radiologic data were collected, including age, sex, nationality, travel history, symptoms, duration of stay, and comorbidities. The mean age of the population was 40.3 years with a male preponderance. Thirteen (62%) patients had recent travel history outside India in the previous 30 days, two thirds of whom had travelled to Italy. The most common symptoms were fever and cough (42.9%) followed by sore throat, headache and breathlessness. Vital and laboratory parameters were preserved in all patients and none of them required ventilatory support. Among the first 21 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 infection in India, the typical clinical presentation consisted in a mild upper respiratory tract infection predominantly affecting the young male population. One patient required supplemental oxygen. All patients recovered with no residual symptoms.   *The Safdarjung Hospital COVID 2019 working group: Nitesh Gupta, Sumita Agrawal, Pranav Ish, Suruchi Mishra, Rajni Gaind, Ganapathy Usha, Balvinder Singh, Manas Kamal Sen, Shibdas Chakrabarti (Consultant and Head, Pulmonary Medicine); NK Gupta (Professor, Pulmonary medicine); Dipak Bhattacharya (Consultant, Pulmonary medicine); Rohit Kumar (Assistant Professor, Pulmonary Medicine); Siddharth R.
