Abstract The title of this paper might imply that I have discovered something new in otolaryngology, but I have no such conceit. There are, however, some obscure and exceedingly dangerous complications attendant on the most usual and apparently innocent infections with which laryngologists have to deal. These are all too frequently discovered only when the patient is on the autopsy table. These are infections of the great vessels of the neck secondary to infection in and about the tonsils and the retropharyngeal spaces and spreading by way of the pharyngomaxillary fossa. I shall not review the anatomy, as this has been done in almost every article written on this subject. I was asked to present a paper at the meeting of the American Laryngological, Rhinological and Otological Society just after I had observed two cases of infection of the jugular vein and one of spontaneous (?) hemorrhage following infection of the References 1.

Abstract A summary of the medical experience in teaching esophageal speech, with a detailed survey of the literature, was published by Dr. W. W. Morrison1 in 1931. He and his associates have continued the work. In the phonetic laboratories an occasional case of esophageal voice has been studied.2 In the Oberlin Psychological Laboratory my associates and I have developed methods and apparatus for recording and analyzing the movements of normal speech, including the changes of air pressure in the mouth and the concomitant pulses of the abdominal and thoracic muscles.3 We have applied these methods of recording and analysis to the movements of esophageal speech. When the details of the process are understood, it is possible to develop a positive and certain process of training. Can all patients be taught to speak? The answer is: If the patient can swallow satisfactorily, he can learn esophageal speech. The type of voice and References 1. Morrison, W.

Abstract The case of thrombosis of the lateral sinus reported here was rather remarkable in that the response to jugular compression, which was strongly positive, indicated that the trouble was on the opposite side from that on which it was actually found. This false indication was due to an anomaly of the venous sinuses. Incidentally, the case was investigated by a court as an instance of death due to an industrial accident. The plaintiff recovered damages. The chief points of interest follow: F. R., a man aged 55, a laborer in a factory, was struck at the root of the nose by a piece of falling press-board on April 24, 1936, and sustained a superficial cutaneous wound. It was treated with mercurochrome and a dressing. He had acute rhinitis at the time, which was apparent during the days which followed. Six days later, on the morning of May 1, severe epistaxis

Abstract The perception of taste in the anterior two thirds of the tongue occurs through the chorda tympani nerve, whereas the posterior third is innervated from the glossopharyngeal nerve. Gustatory sense over the posterior third of the tongue has always been attributed to the glossopharyngeal nerve. The rôle of the chorda tympani in the transmission of the sensations of taste from the anterior two thirds of the tongue is also well established, but there is marked divergence of opinion in the medical literature as to the pathway for the taste fibers from the geniculate ganglion in the facial nerve to their central nucleus in the pons. It has been shown by many observers that the loss of taste on the anterior two thirds of the tongue has followed complete palsy of the fifth nerve, as in cases of extirpation of the gasserian ganglion.

Abstract In a comprehensive report on primary chondroma of the ethmoid Lugli1 stated that Sicard2 published a monograph on the subject including twenty-nine observations. Heymann3 expressed the opinion that in two thirds of the cases reported by Sicard the growth was an enchondroma of the septum or was of mixed form of extranasal origin. The site of origin of many of the tumors, their mixed character and the extent of involvement have been controversial, so that the exact frequency of the true chondroma is not known. Schwerdtfeger4 in reviewing two hundred articles on chondroma collected forty-one instances in which the growth occurred in the nasal cavity. Schlittler in reporting an instance of "enchondroma of the nasal cavity" listed five others not mentioned by Schwerdtfeger,4 bringing the total of authentic cases up to forty-seven.

Abstract A pharyngeal fistula may follow any opening into the cavity of the pharynx through the tissues of the neck. Transhyoid approach to the interior of the pharynx or removal of the larynx is occasionally followed by a fistula. As a rule, the fistula closes spontaneously or after the usual plastic procedure. The straight line incision used in the removal of the larynx, coupled with proper and adequate drainage, has helped a great deal to prevent the formation of fistulas. The fistula is caused by loss of continuity in the pharyngeal wall. The exciting cause is devitalization of the tissues by infection. In cases in which irradiation has been done before operation the changes in the tissue, both histologic and biologic, are such that union rarely occurs or when it does occur spontaneously, it is usually a long time postoperatively (figs. 1 and 2). In two cases that are reported, the

Abstract The following case is reported in order to present the use of specific antipneumococcus serum in mastoiditis. Mrs. S. S., a white woman aged 35, was examined on Dec. 30, 1936. The chief complaint was pain and diminished hearing in both ears. She had had a cold ten days before, with nasal secretion and nasal obstruction during the last four days. Acute pain in both ears had been present for the past eight hours. The temperature at 9 a. m., when she was first examined, was 98.4 F.; the pulse rate, 88. Both tympanic membranes were red and bulging. No landmarks could be made out. The nose showed obstruction, with the turbinates turgescent and with mucopurulent secretion on both sides. On transillumination the frontal sinuses appeared clear while the antrums were dark. The turbinates were shrunk with a dilute solution of cocaine; paracentesis was done on both sides with the

Abstract It is rather a rare occurrence for an aspirated foreign body to migrate through the lung and the pleural cavity and finally to perforate to or through the skin of the chest wall. In June 1933 I had the opportunity to see a child in whom this phenomenon took place, and my curiosity as to the frequency of this occurrence was aroused. A search of the literature, including the Index Medicus and the Quarterly Cumulative Index Medicus, from 1879 until the present time, revealed eight similar cases. Dr. Louis Clerf called my attention to two more cases reported by Samuel D. Gross and also to one reported by Dr. H. B. Graham, in which a small branch of cedar was aspirated. This child died on the eighth day following the accident. The postmortem examination showed that the foreign body had perforated the visceral pleura over the lower lobe of the References 1.

Abstract Ancient superstition and home remedies occasionally form a background for sound therapeutic measures. One would hardly think that the use of urine in infected wounds by primitive Africans and Asiatics might contribute to the modern development of urea therapy. The success of some investigators with urea and allantoin has stimulated work to evaluate the indications and limitations of the use of urea in diseases of the ear, nose and throat. Kaplan1 found that by the use of allantoin, a maggot excretion, chronic indolent ulcers could be made to heal. Using urea, also a maggot excretion and a product of the hydrolysis of allantoin, Robinson2 and his collaborators obtained similar results. Using concentrated solutions and gross quantities of urea crystals applied directly to a wound, Holder and MacKay3 were able to reduce infection and hasten healing in cases in which other therapeutic agents were not effective.

Abstract Injury of the facial nerve is a distressing complication of infection of the mastoid and of mastoidectomy. Gowers1 stated: In complete facial palsy, the muscles of the affected half of the face become toneless and immobile. In all movements, voluntary or emotional, the affected half of the face is still. The two sides of the face present a strange incongruity and the smile or frown deprived of half its range loses more than half its character so that it is difficult to recognize the expressional significance of the distorting contractions of the cheek and brow which occur on the unaffected side. The work of Ney2 and later that of Ballance and Duel3 have shown that the injured or completely interrupted facial nerve can be readily exposed in its canal. Depending on the lesion found, it can be decompressed or an end to end suture can be done or a briding References 1. Gowers, W. R.: A Manual of Diseases of the Nervous System , London, J. & A.

Abstract Within the last three years the otoscope has been greatly improved and made more practical. The speculum holder is no longer a fixed unit but is adjustable, and does not permit the source of light to obstruct the field of vision. The specula are made glareless, assuring good light on the objective. However, most of the sources of light on the otoscope have a fixed focus, which is not practical when the speculum carrier is adjustable, for the concentrated rays of light cannot always be focused in the center of the sight opening, and one has to depend on peripheral light rays for illumination. To overcome this difficulty, I have invented an adjustable spot light fixed to the instrument carrier. It permits the operator to focus the light at a desired angle. The principle is simple. The focusing lens is adjustablein a new way. In figure I the source of

Abstract While the literature for 1936 reveals nothing revolutionary or startling, it is nevertheless significant in demonstrating a trend toward a saner appreciation of the basic anatomic and physiologic data which have become available in recent years. Rhinologists are coming to realize more and more that empiricism and dogma are things of the past and that success depends on a full knowledge of the many factors involved in the etiology. There seems to be developing a more wholesome regard for every part of the nasal mucosa, which is manifesting itself in a tendency to conservatism in treatment, both medical and surgical. While there is still some difference of opinion regarding the relative merits of specific surgical procedures, evidence is accumulating from reliable sources, which in the long run may serve to clear up these differences and bring about more unanimity on these points.

Abstract It is difficult for any one to describe in easily understood terms the fundamentals as well as the particulars of most of the forms in which electricity is now being used. Scientists are no longer in an era of simple galvanism and faradism. However, a textbook covering such a subject as diathermy should give a clear and complete exposition of the circuits—a description that can reach the intelligence of the average layman or physician, who is usually unlettered in such matters. Though Dr. Cholnoky's book is obviously written for the physician who is uninitiated in electrotherapeutics, it falls short of making clear the physical aspects of the subject. There is a better handling of the rationale of both diathermy (the longer wave) and the newer short wave. The author is careful and explicit as to technic, a matter of importance usually neglected badly in textbooks. A considerable portion of the
