Study Notes
Pharyngeal Injuries
- Pharyngeal injuries are categorized as either closed or open.
Esophageal Perforation Case Study
- A patient experiencing esophageal perforation after a foreign body removal procedure, resulted in a fatal complication from profuse bleeding.
Otitis and Auricular Conditions
- Otic hematoma: A bluish-red swelling, potentially painful, in the auricle, following trauma.
- Furuncle of the outer ear: A cone-shaped swelling with reddened skin in the external auditory canal.
- Chondroperichondritis of the auricle: Inflammation of the cartilage and perichondrium of the auricle.
- **
Tonsillitis and related conditions
- Paratonsillar abscess: Inflammation and pus accumulation near the tonsils, characterized by trismus, displacement of the tonsil, hyperemia, and pain in the submandibular lymph nodes.
- Lacunar angina: White plaques within tonsil crypts.
- Follicular tonsillitis: White spots on the surface of the tonsils.
Laryngeal Conditions
- Acute stenosing laryngotracheitis (croup): In children, sudden onset of difficult/noisy breathing, bark-like cough, and inspiratory stridor, potentially progressing to respiratory distress.
- Allergic laryngeal edema: Swelling of the vocal cords and surrounding structures, typically after a food allergy.
- Acute laryngitis: Hoarseness and difficulty breathing during physical exertion, potentially from surgery or prolonged exposure to dust/smoke/viruses.
- Subglottic laryngitis: (Not specifically listed, but inferred from case description).
- Epiglottitis: Inflammatory swelling of the epiglottis.
Neck and Facial Conditions
- Subcutaneous emphysema: Air trapped beneath the skin, often following procedures like tracheotomy.
- Nasal boil complications: Serious complications, such as cavernous sinus thrombosis, can develop.
Sinusitis
- Acute purulent sinusitis: Pus buildup in the maxillary sinus, characterized by nasal discharge, difficulty breathing through the nose, and pain when palpating the sinus.
Tonsil Conditions
- Pharyngeal candidiasis: Plaques on tonsils that do not respond to antibiotics.
Other Conditions
- Foreign body of the external auditory canal: Cockroach fragments found in the ear canal.
- Foreign body of the pharynx: Objects lodged in the throat, often manifesting as sore throat and dysphagia.
Laryngeal Stenosis
- False croup: A common cause of acute laryngeal stenosis in young children, characterized by barking cough and respiratory distress.
- Acute laryngitis: Inflammation of the larynx can obstruct airflow.
Differential Diagnoses
- Pharyngitis vs. tonsillitis: Importance of distinguishing symptoms like pain, exudates, location, and lymph node involvement.
- Acute laryngitis: inflammation of the larynx.
Treatment Considerations
- Foreign body removal: Prompt intervention for foreign bodies in the airway and swallowing, depending on the location.
- Antibiotic treatment: Crucial role in infections.
- Tracheotomy: Critical intervention for severe airway obstruction.
