Diseases of the ear, throat and nose (otolaryngology)

Bleeding polyp of septum of nose

The bleeding nasal septum polyp is an angiofibromatous benign tumor located on one side of the nasal septum, most often in the anterior venous-arterial plexus, less often on the lower or middle nasal concha or on the lateral wall of the nasal cavity.

Papillomatosis of nasal passages

The localization of multiple papillomas in the nasal passages is extremely rare and is often mixed with the cancer of this area. Papillomatosis of the nasal passages is characterized by progressive evolution leading to complete obstruction of the corresponding half of the nose, with cases of sprouting through the natural opening in the maxillary sinus.

Angioma of the nose

Angiomas belong to benign vascular formations, located on the wings of the nose between the skin and the cartilaginous tissue. Angioma from the blood vessels is called hemangioma, from lymphatic vessels - lymphangioma.

Neuroma of the nose

The neuroma of the nose is a benign tumor that develops from the nervous tissue; occurs extremely rarely. Neurinomas as such are divided into gliomas - congenital tumors developing from neuroglia and related to benign tumors, and neuroblastomas that can occur at any age and are characterized by a malignant course.

Benign tumors of the nose

Benign tumors of the nose can develop from any tissue contained in this anatomical formation.

Malignant tumors of ENT organs: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Malignant tumors can develop from a number of previous relatively benign growths (malignancy), which are called pre-tumors.

Laryngomalacia: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Laryngomalacia is a defect in the development of the larynx, during which the prolapse of the tissue of the vestibule occurs in its lumen during inspiration, due to their abnormal compliance or due to neuromuscular laryngeal insufficiency.

Neuromuscular dysfunction of the larynx: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

The larynx is the functional center of the upper respiratory tract, finely reacting to minor disturbances of its innervation, endocrine dysfunctions, various kinds of psychogenic factors and occupational and household hazards.

Cicatricial stenosis of the larynx: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Cicatricial stenosis of the larynx is one of the frequent complications of nonspecific and specific infectious diseases of it (abscesses, phlegmon, gum, tuberculoid, lupus, etc.), as well as her injuries (wounds, blunt injuries, burns) that lead to cicatricial laryngeal obstruction and development syndrome of chronic insufficiency of the respiratory function of the larynx.

Foreign bodies of the larynx: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Foreign bodies of the larynx are much less common than foreign bodies of the trachea or foreign bodies of the bronchi, and make up, according to different authors, 4 to 14% of the number of foreign bodies of the upper respiratory tract.
