    Is there any correlation between chronic noise-induced hearing loss and mastoid pneumatization volume? A preliminary study

    Is there any correlation between chronic noise-induced hearing loss and mastoid pneumatization volume? A preliminary study. Objectives: To investigate the possible association between chronic noise-induced hearing loss and the volume of mastoid pneumatization. Methodology: The study involved 46 subjects employed in the press and montage department of a gun factory: 28 in the study group with noise-induced hearing loss and 18 in the control group with no hearing loss. The volume of mastoid pneumatization was measured with computed tomography. Student's test was used in the comparison of the mastoid volumes of the study and the control groups. Results: The intergroup evaluations showed no significant difference between the study and control group with regards to age, use of substances or ototoxic drugs, systemic diseases, use of personal hearing protectors, duration of occupational and non-occupational noise exposure was observed (P > 0.05). The mean values of mastoid pneumatization in the study and the control groups were 9717.6 mm(3) and 11005.8 mm(3), respectively. Although the volume of mastoid pneumatization was smaller in the study group than in the control group, this difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Conclusions: This preliminary study showed that there was no significant correlation between mastoid pneumatization volume and chronic noise-induced hearing loss. However, this correlation could be significant in further studies with a larger number of subjects.

    MR spectroscopy in a cervical abscess
    (Springer-Verlag, 2003) Kendi, T.; Arikan, O.K.; Koç, C.
    MR spectroscopy (MRS) has been used to analyse noninvasively tissues at a molecular level. Hydrogen and phosphorus MRS have been used for characterisation of intracranial solid and cystic masses, gynaecological tumours and lymph nodes. We report a cystic, tick-walled mass in the soft tissues of the neck. Single-voxel proton MRS revealed a prominent acetate peak at 1.92 ppm and a diagnosis of abscess was suggested. At operation a pyogenic neck abscess was confirmed, with culture of the pus.

    Persistent metopic suture can mimic the skull fractures in the emergency setting?
    (Soc Espanola Neurocirugia, 2007) Bademci, G.; Kendi, T.; Agalar, F.
    Metopism is partially or totally persisting suture extending from the nasion to the anterior angle of the bregma. The time of physiological closure of the metopic suture varies from birth to 8 years of age. Widely accepted closuring time is approximated at 2 years of age. Although formerly reported skull studies mentioned the persistent metopic suture, it is extremely rare in clinical practice. We presented a trauma case of 43 years of age who was demonstrated radiologically to have a persisting suture. Persistent metopic suture may be misdiagnosed as a vertical traumatic skull fracture extending in the mid-line in head trauma patients. Therefore the surgeon should be aware of this anatomical condition in the primary and secondary surveillance of the traumatized patient and during surgical intervention including especially frontal craniotomy. Reconstructed tomography scan demonstrating sutural closuring status may provide additional informative value in the diagnostic sequence superior to plain X-ray in the emergency setting.
