RESUMEN
Reporting one case of bilateral thrombosis of internal jugular vein in absence of neck's space handling or other systemic elements justifying the pathology. Clinical description, evolutive course and treatment performed. Review of corresponding literature what allowed us to classify the case between the idiopathic thrombosis jugularis after neck's surgery, surely brought about for the forced position of the neck for long time.

A case of small-cell carcinoma of larynx was diagnosed in a 48-year-old man. This is an unusual laryngeal carcinoma (the incidence is lower than 1% of all carcinomata in this location). We analyzed some clinical and histopathological aspects of these carcinomata and some prognostic and therapeutic factors. A bibliographic review was made.

The relation between diabetes mellitus and hypoacusis is discussed since Jordao, who firstly pointed out to this association in 1854. The disparity of results according several studies are due, after other AA., to the heterogeneous of groups considered. Our study was done resorting to a patients selection and their classification in 2 homogeneous groups following different parameters: age; sex; years of course; verified angiopathic complications: peripheric vasculopathy, microalbuminuria, altered creatinine clearance; malady control: glycosylated hemoglobin. The task consisted in the study of audiometric tracings in 40 patients in order to verify statistic differences of auditive thresholds between the established groups. These courses corresponding to a sensorineural hearing loss with a deep in high tones. But no significatively worse thresholds in patients suffering other angiopathic disorders were detected.

The relationship between diabetes mellitus and hypacusia has been discussed since the work of Jordao, in 1857. Numerous authors are openly pro this viewpoint, whereas other deny it. The hypoacusis is typically bilateral, progressive and of neurosensory nature, affecting the higher frequencies. In the etiologic aspect some authors bet for an angiopathic origin, but others suppose a neuropathic cause. We have achieved a comparative study with the aim to get some conclusions that could enlighten this field. Forty patients with diabetes mellitus type II were audiometrically examinees (at threshold and with supraliminar tests) and the results compared with those of a control group. We also assessed several complications of the disease and their possible report with the auditive impairment (retinopathy and neuropathy). We found out a sensorineural, bilateral and symmetrical hearing impairment. Employing the Man Whitney's U test we compare distinct groups and explain the gained outcomes. Bibliographic review of authors defending the vascular or the nervous starting point.

A pleomorphic Adenoma was found in the right side of the nasal septum of a 44-year-old female patient. After removal the pathologist's examination could diagnose the mass as a pleomorphic adenoma (mixed tumor) developed from ectopic salivary glands. Early symptoms were nasal obstruction and recurrent spontaneous epistaxis, sometimes preceded by local discomfort. Surgical removal. In this article are discussed some aspects of the these unusual tumors (sitting in the nasal cavity) and the AA. compare their findings with data reported by other publishers.
