  • Diseases of the Tonsil
    DISEASES OF THE TONSIL Dr. Amer salih aljibori Acute Tonsillitis: acute inflammatory condition of the faucial tonsil which may involve the mucosa, crypts,follicles and /or tonsillor parenchyma. Causatve agents; -Viral:Initially starts with viral infection then followed by secondary bacterial infection.Common viruses are influenza,parainfluenza.adenovirus and rhinovirus. -Bacterial:Streptococcus hemolyticus,Hemophilus influenza,pneumococcus,M.catarrahalis. Pathology and pathogenesis: Usually it starts in the childhood when there is low immune status.Depending on the progress of the disease,this can be classified further into the following types. •Catarrhal tonsillitis:It occurs due to viral infection of the upper respiratory tract involving the mucosa of the tonsil •Cryptic tonsillitis: Following viral infection ,secondary bacterial infection supervenes and gets entrapped within the crypts leading to localized form of infection •Acute follicular tonsillitis. It is sever form of tonsillitis caused by virulent organisms like streptococcus hemolyticus and Hemophilus. It causes spread of inflammation from tonsillar crypts to the surrounding tosillar follicles. Acute parenchymal tonsillitis: The secondary bacterial infection will invade to the crypts and it is rapidly spreads into the tonsillar parenchyma.. Cryptic tonsillitis 1- Symptoms -Fever -Generalized malaise and bodyache. -Odynophagia. -Dry cough. -Sorethroat. 2- Signs -Congested and oedematous tonsils -Tonsils may be diffusely swollen in parenchymatous tonsillitis. -Crypts filled with pus in follicular tonsillitis. -Membrane cover the tonsil and termed as membranous tonsillitis. -Tender enlarged jugulodigastric lymph nodes. -Signs of upper respiratory tract infection and adenoiditis. Investigations. -Throat swab for culture and sensitivity. -Blood smear to rule out hemopoeitic disorders like leukemia,agranulocytosis. -Paul-Bunnel test may be required if membrane seen to rulr out infectious mononucleosis.

  • Head and Neck
    DEFINITION OF ANATOMIC SITES WITHIN THE HEAD AND NECK adapted from the Summary Staging Guide 1977 published by the SEER Program, and the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual Fifth Edition published by the American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging. Note: Not all sites in the lip, oral cavity, pharynx and salivary glands are listed below. All sites to which a Summary Stage scheme applies are listed at the begining of the scheme. ORAL CAVITY AND ORAL PHARYNX (in ICD-O-3 sequence) The oral cavity extends from the skin-vermilion junction of the lips to the junction of the hard and soft palate above and to the line of circumvallate papillae below. The oral pharynx (oropharynx) is that portion of the continuity of the pharynx extending from the plane of the inferior surface of the soft palate to the plane of the superior surface of the hyoid bone (or floor of the vallecula) and includes the base of tongue, inferior surface of the soft palate and the uvula, the anterior and posterior tonsillar pillars, the glossotonsillar sulci, the pharyngeal tonsils, and the lateral and posterior walls. The oral cavity and oral pharynx are divided into the following specific areas: LIPS (C00._; vermilion surface, mucosal lip, labial mucosa) upper and lower, form the upper and lower anterior wall of the oral cavity. They consist of an exposed surface of modified epider- mis beginning at the junction of the vermilion border with the skin and including only the vermilion surface or that portion of the lip that comes into contact with the opposing lip.

Under the auspices of the World Association of Veterinary Anatomists (W.A.V.A.), the International Committee on Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature (I.C.V.A.N.) appointed in Giessen, 1965, a Subcommittee on Histology and Embryology which started a working relation with the Subcommittee on Histology of the former International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee. In Mexico City, 1971, this Subcommittee presented a document entitled Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft as a basis for the continued work of the newly-appointed Subcommittee on Histological Nomenclature. This resulted in the editing of the Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft II (Toulouse, 1974), followed by preparations for publication of a Nomina Histologica Veterinaria.

Received: 16th, May 2019; Accepted: 1st, Sep. 2019. ABSTRACT Background: The tonsils are lymphoepithelial tissue, it contains specialized lymphoid functional compartments which include the lymphoid follicles, parafollicular areas, crypt epithelium and high endothelial venules, which together have an essential role in the immunological process. These compartments may be altered histomorphologically throughout life time underneath common pathological condition. Aim: The aim of the current study is to evaluate special microstructural functional compartment changes as high endothelial venules, lymphoid follicles, interfollicular and connective tissue areas according to histopathological ground of the palatine tonsils. Methods: one hundred palatine tonsillar samples which were attained from patients suffering from chronic tonsillitis, recurrent tonsillitis and obstructive hypertrophic tonsils were admitted at Al-Jumhuri Teaching Hospital and Al-salaam teaching hospital in Mosul city during the period from February 2018 to February 2019. Age of patients ranged from (2-40) years. Specimens of tissue were directly fixed in 10% formalin then processed. Paraffin sections of 4μm thickness were exposed to routine stain with hematoxylin and eosin, while the studied marker (CD34) was detected by immunohistochemical method using labelled streptavidin- biotin (LSAB/HRP) method.

ABSTRACT Background: The objective of the study was to analyse the signs and symptoms, etiology, site and outcome of deep space infections of neck. Methods: This was retrospective study and included 50 patients admitted with deep neck space infections to Government Mc Gann teaching hospital SIMS, Shimoga, Karnataka, India between January 2009 – January 2015. Results: The extreme age group, high virulence of organism, underlying clinical conditions, low socioeconomic groups are vulnerable for above infections. Mortality in 3 cases was due to mediastinitis and extended space infection. Conclusions: Deep neck space infection is still a challenging disease in otorhinolaryngology. Early surgical drainage remains the main method of treating deep neck abscesses and conservative medical treatment are effective in selective cases that have minimal cellulitis.
