Diseases of the ear, throat and nose (otolaryngology)

Damage to the pharynx with fractures of the hyoid bone: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

The hyoid bone refers to the unpaired bone structures of the skeleton of the neck. It is located in the middle of the neck, below and behind the chin and immediately above the thyroid cartilage.

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

Foreign bodies of the pharynx belong to the category of damaging factors, since the result of their action on the pharyngeal wall may be abrasions, punctures of the mucosa and lesions of deeper layers of the pharynx.

Throat injury: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

The pharynx, anatomically and functionally, is an organ of primary importance. In anatomical terms, it borders on large main vessels, the wounds of which in most cases lead to death, with large nerve trunks that provide innervation of many vital organs.

Tubal tonsil hypertrophy: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

In the membranous-cartilaginous part of the auditory tube there are clusters of lymphadenic tissue, first described by the German anatomist Gerlach. This tissue is more developed in the region of the isthmus of the auditory tube and is especially abundant in the area of the socket of the nasopharyngeal opening, where it forms the tubal amygdala.

Hypertrophy of the lingual tonsil: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Hypertrophy of the lingual tonsil is a frequent anomaly of the development of this organ, which is often accompanied by hypertrophy and other solitary lymphadenoid formations of the pharynx.

Pharyngokeratosis: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

This disease has long been part of the group of pharyngomycosis, having many similarities with these common diseases of the pharynx and oral cavity. Actually, however, it stands alone as an etiology and pathogenesis, and only in 1951 the Polish doctor J. Baldenwiecki described it as an independent chronic nosological form with clearly defined symptoms.

Ozena of the pharynx: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

This disease can spread to the nasopharynx, pharynx, trachea and bronchi, as well as to the auditory tube and tear ducts, causing the corresponding morphological and functional disorders.

Chronic diseases of the pharynx: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

The expression "chronic diseases of the pharynx" reflects a collective concept in which, it would seem, the only unifying feature is that all the diseases entering into this class proceed for a long time (months and years).

Chronic atrophic pharyngitis

Chronic atrophic pharyngitis is the last stage of chronic pharyngitis, resulting in progressive sclerosis of all organs of the mucosa, submucosal layer, glandular and lymphoid apparatus.

Chronic pharyngitis

Chronic pharyngitis is a group of diseases of the mucous membrane of the pharynx and the mucous glands and lymphoadenoid granules diffusely located in it.
