Diseases of the ear, throat and nose (otolaryngology)

Acute laryngotraheobronchitis in young children

Acute laryngotraheobronchitis in young children (1-2 years) is one of the most serious diseases complicating influenza infection, often despite all the measures taken, resulting in death.

Acute catarrhal laryngitis

Acute catarrhal laryngitis is characterized by acute inflammation of the mucous membrane of the larynx, caused by infection with its banal microbiota.

Throat sensitivity disorders: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Sensory disorders of the pharynx are divided into anesthesia, hypesthesia, hyperesthesia and paresthesia.

Pharyngeal paresthesia: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Paresthesia refers to sensitivity disorders that are not associated with any external effect and are characterized by the appearance of various, often unusual, seemingly unreasonable sensations, such as the sensation of runniness, numbness, stiffness of certain areas of the skin or mucous membrane

Neurological disorders of the pharynx: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

At the basis of adequate functioning of the pharynx lie the most complicated mutually consistent nervous processes, the slightest violation of which leads to disorganization of food and air-flow functions at this level.

Giant styloid process: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

The giant styloid process, directed by its body from above-anterior and inward, reaches its end of the lower pole of the palatine tonsil. It passes in the immediate vicinity of the lateral surface of the facial nerve, between the external and internal carotid arteries.

Congenital fistulas of the pharynx: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Congenital pharynx fistulas may be complete or incomplete. The first have a through nature: an external opening on the skin of the anterior or lateral surface of the neck, the second - a blind character: either an opening only on the skin with a fistulous course that ends in the tissues of the neck, or vice versa, only a hole on the side of the pharynx, also with a blind fistula in the tissues neck.

Splitting of the soft palate: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Splitting of the soft palate occurs in the absence of fusion of embryonic rudiments of the soft palate. The palatine plates completely fuse along the middle line, which is realized in various defects of the soft palate - from the most insignificant, for example when splitting only the uvula bifida, to the complete cleavage of the soft palate, often exciting and hard palate

Underdevelopment of the soft palate: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

The underdevelopment of the soft palate owes its origin to a disturbance in the development of the embryonic buds of the palatine plates, which can also lead to an anomaly in the development of the hard palate (gothic arch of the oral cavity, underdevelopment of the posterior parts of the palatine plates).

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

Cicatricial pharyngeal stenosis, which lead to progressive stenoses, can occur at all three levels. The stenosis of the upper pharynx (nasopharynx) is due, for the most part, to the scar fusion of the soft palate and posterior pharyngeal wall.
