OBJECTIVE Auditory neuropathy/auditory dyssynchrony (AN/AD) has become a well-accepted clinical entity. The combined use of oto-acoustic emissions (OAEs) and auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing in the universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) has led to the easy recognition of this disorder. Although, we are now able to diagnose AN/AD reliably, little is known about its epidemiology, etiology, and especially the frequency of its occurrence. The primary goal of this study was to determine the frequency of AN/AD in the Western Anatolian region of Turkey. The secondary goal was to compare the detection rate of AN/AD before and after the implementation of the UNHS in the audiology department of Dokuz Eylul University Hospital. METHOD Between 2005 and 2007, among the 23,786 newborns who were screened by automated click evoked oto-acoustic emissions (a-CEOAE) and automated auditory brainstem responses (a-ABRs), 2236 were referred to our department. All necessary audiological tests were performed for all the referred newborns. Among them, babies with deficient or abnormal ABR in combination with normal OAEs were considered as having AN/AD. These babies were evaluated with additional diagnostic audiological tests. Furthermore, comparison of the incidence of children diagnosed with AN/AD before and after the implementation of UNHS in our audiology department was also performed. RESULTS Among the referred newborns, 65 had abnormal or deficient ABR test results. Ten of these 65 newborn babies (mean diagnostic age: 5.7 months) with hearing impairment showed electrophysiological test results that were consistent with AN/AD. The frequency of AN/AD in these 65 children with hearing loss was 15.38%. Moreover, the frequency of AN/AD within UNHS was found to be 0.044%. Seven of the 10 babies with AN/AD had hyperbilirubinemia as a risk factor, which is a high rate to be emphasized. On the other hand, the retrospective investigation of children diagnosed with AN/AD in the same audiology department between 1999 and 2005 (i.e. before the implementation of UNHS) revealed only 7 children, with an average diagnostic age of 34 months. CONCLUSION After implementing the UNHS, the incidence of AN/AD in the audiology department increased from 1.16 to 4.13. Furthermore, the age of diagnosis of AN/AD decreased from 34 months to 5.7 months. This study shows that AN/AD, when screened, is a comparatively common disorder in the population of hearing-impaired infants. While newborn hearing screening provides early detection of babies with hearing loss, it also helps to differentiate AN/AD cases when the screening is performed with both a-ABR and automated oto-acoustic emission (a-OAE) tests. Thus, the routine combined use of a-ABR and a-OAE tests in UNHS programs, especially for the high-risk infants, can provide better detection of newborns with AN/AD. Furthermore, hyperbilirubinemia is merely an association and maybe etiologically linked.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate Cisplatin (CP) induced ototoxicity and the effects of vitamin B treatment on ototoxicity in guinea pigs by using the Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emission (TEOAE) technique. METHODS Eleven guinea pigs were divided into two groups and they were tested by TEOAE before and after the experiment. A TEOAE response was regarded as positive when all of the following criteria were met: 1. The mean amplitude of the cochlear response in dB pe SPL should be greater than that of the noise in the external auditory canal; 2. The reproducibility rate of the response should be greater than 50%; 3. The stimulus stability rate should be greater than 65%; 4. The signal to noise ratio of the response in 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 kHz band frequencies should be greater than 3 dB pe SPL in at least two bands. The first group included five animals that had only CP injections. Six animals in the second group received additional 0.2 ml/kg combined vitamin B preparations for 7 consecutive days. Thereafter, the right and left ears of all animals in both groups were tested by TEOAE. RESULTS TEOAE responses recorded from 22 ears of 11 guinea pigs before drug administrations showed that the responses with maximum amplitude were originated from the mid-frequency region. Positive TEOAE responses were significantly reduced after CP administrations in both groups when compared with their respective pretreatment results (P<0.01). However, vitamin B injections, in addition to a single large dose of CP, resulted in significantly better TEOAE responses than those obtained after only CP injections (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The routine use of TEOAE monitoring is recommended in clinical CP treatment protocols for the early detection and follow up of ototoxicity. Also, prospective clinical trials are needed in order to validate the protective effects of vitamin B treatment against ototoxicity.

Antibiotic eardrops mostly contain potentially ototoxic aminoglycosides. Ciprofloxacin is an alternative, and there is limited experience in its topical use. To investigate the topical ototoxicity of ciprofloxacin, 11 guinea pigs have been operated on. Transbullae silicone drug delivery tubes were placed to both ears of the animals. After the operation the guinea pigs were divided into two groups. The first group of animals received 0.2 ml of 4% gentamicin in one ear and 0.2 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride solution in the other. The second group received 0.2 ml of 0.2% ciprofloxacin in the test ear and 0.2 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride solution in the control ear. All drugs were given once a day on 7 consecutive days. Auditory brainstem response thresholds were recorded using click, 4 and 8 kHz logon stimuli before and after the operation, and after topical drug application. Results were statistically compared using Wilcoxon matched pairs signed-ranks test. Comparison of the thresholds before and after the operation, physiological saline application, as well as ciprofloxacin application yielded no statistically significant differences, whereas application of gentamicin resulted in total hearing loss. The results indicate that topical use of 0.2% ciprofloxacin is not ototoxic in guinea pigs.

Management of parapharyngeal space cysts

Aataman Günerí; M. Ufuk Günbay; E. Alpin Guneri; Kerim Ceryan; Semih Sütay

Parapharyngeal space cysts, besides salivary gland origin may be derived from the first and dorsal portions of the second pharyngeal pouches. They are mucosal or epithelial lined structures with no external or visceral opening and always present on the lateral aspects of the nasopharyngeal wall. Two consecutive cases of parapharyngeal space cysts totally excised by transoral and transparotid routes are presented.

BACKGROUND Septoplasty and/or turbinate surgery are commonly used surgical techniques for the treatment of mechanical nasal obstruction. The aim of this study was to define the effectiveness of submucous resection of a hypertrophied turbinate together with simultaneous septoplasty for the treatment of nasal obstruction. METHODS Forty-two patients with septum deviation and compensatory contralateral inferior turbinate hypertrophy were recruited in this study. The inferior turbinate hypertrophy was diagnosed based on examination. The patients were randomly divided into two groups. In group A, a submucous resection was performed to treat a hypertrophied inferior turbinate, together with a septoplasty. In group B, only a septoplasty was performed. Acoustic rhinometry and rhinomanometry tests were conducted for an objective evaluation of nasal patency. A visual analog scale (VAS) was applied to the patients for the subjective evaluation of nasal obstruction complaints. RESULTS The application of submucous resection intended to reduce a hypertrophied inferior turbinate led to a distinctive increase in cross-sectional area of nasal patency; however, when the two groups were compared, it was statistically significant only at the post-operative sixth month. There was no difference between the results of rhinomanometry. The subjective symptom scores were better in group A than in group B between the post-operative first to sixth month. CONCLUSION Submucous resection of a hypertrophied inferior turbinate is necessary for the treatment of nasal obstruction.
