Juvenile angiofibroma is benign yet aggressive. Due to its inaccessible location in the nasopharynx, open surgery usually requires osteotomies which cause stunting of facial growth in adolescent males. Advances in imaging and treatment techniques have now facilitated more accurate staging of this disease. For small, extracranial tumours limited to the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus,…
Sphenochoanal polyp is a rare form of choanal polyp. If unrecognised, they can be mistaken for an antrochoanal polyp.

Adequate preoperative evaluation with computed tomography or magnetic resonance is mandatory to ascertain the…

Even in the absence of life-threatening consequences, it can be a severe debilitating disease with depression, suicidal tendencies, fear of swallowing, loss of weight and under-nutrition. The treatment for glossopharyngeal neuralgia and Eagle’s syndrome…

The inner ear consists of two delicate systems responsible for hearing and balance. Because of their anatomic contiguity, disease processes tend to affect both systems simultaneously. For this reason, patients with disorders of the inner ear have both hearing as well as balance symptoms – hearing loss, tinnitus and giddiness. Inner ear symptoms tend to…
