No full textFacial Masks Vestibulitis: The Risk of Mismanagement in the COVID-19 pandemic
No full textThe COVID-19 pandemic has forced the global population to adopt several public health meas-ures, including social distancing, environmental disinfection and use of personal protective equipment (PPE), which are still widely recommended although several vaccines are currently available. Dermatological and al-lergological diseases related to the extended use of the PPEs represent an emerging problem amidst the pan-demic. In particular, there are increasing reports of skin damage, occupational dermatoses, Irritant Contact Dermatitis (ICD) and allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) related to surgical facemasks and N95. We report the case of a superinfected ICD of the narinal region complicated in nasal vestibulitis, characterized by puru-lent secretions, narinal edema and nasal obstruction, with the aim of highlighting that even the incorrect use of protective against Covid-19 transmission can cause the onset of severe diseases.

AN UNUSUAL FOREIGN BODY IN THE UPPER AERODIGESTIVE TRACT: ESOPHAGEAL OBSTRUCTION DUE TO BRAN IMPACTION
No full textForeign bodies of the upper aerodigestive tract are common problems encountered by the otolaryngologist and general surgeons. While the diagnosis seems straightforward, it is sometimes delayed until after serious complications have occurred. The treatment of choice is endoscopic retrieval under general anesthesia. The procedure should be preceded by the completion of appropriate studies (radiographic and other specifically indicated for the patient) planned and performed by the endoscopy team. Time invested in preparation and planning will usually yield a speedy recovery of the patient. Bran is a natural fiber that undergoes considerable expansion and thickening when hydrated. Due to this property, it has been used in "weight loss" tablets that in the stomach undergo expansion and are expected to cause early satiety. These tablets are usually marketed as over-the-counter (OTC) diet products by a number of pharmaceutical manufacturers. These supplements consisting primarily of dietary fibers, so common and inoffensive-seeming, rarely may have severe side effects, such a sudden esophageal obstruction. We report a case of a bran dietary product impacted in the cervical esophagus in a 45 year old woman, presenting as an emergency complaining of retrosternal discomfort and difficult to swallow or drink.

Carcinoma occulto con metastasi latero-cervicali. Problematiche diagnostiche. Analisi retrospettiva su 110 casi di tumefazioni latero-cervicali. [Carcinoma of unknown origin++ with latero-cervical metastasis. Diagnostic problems. Retrospective analysis of 110 cases of latero-cervical tumefaction].
No full textThe cervical region, despite to its little extension, is very important by the surgical and anatomical point of view. This region, occupied by a lot of organs, sometimes is the site of metastasis from carcinomas located in various parts of the body. In some cases the origin site of cancer stays unknown. The aim of this paper is the retrospective analysis of 110 cases of latero cervical swellings and the related problems of differential diagnosis. Z9
