Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid Causing Central Airway Obstruction
Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) is a rare variant of the skin disease pemphigoid, which predominantly involves the mucous membranes. This rare autoimmune disease that infrequently affects the respiratory tract is characterized by subepithelial blister formation that may result in scarring. Immunopathologic examination of mucous membranes reveals the deposition of immunoglobulins and complement...
متن کاملReciprocal Causal Relationship between Laryngopharyngeal Reflux and Eustachian Tube Obstruction
My own experience in the medical treatment of a lot of patients for 20 years has proved that many cases have both Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) and Eustachian tube obstruction (ETO) at the same time. In these cases, ETO can be a cause of LPR, or, conversely, LPR can be a cause of ETO, and hence it is natural that a concept of a ‘reciprocal causal relationship between LPR and ETO’ emerges from ...

متن کاملUpdate on eustachian tube dysfunction and the patulous eustachian tube.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to summarize the recent knowledge on eustachian tube dysfunction and the patulous eustachian tube. RECENT FINDINGS A clinically useful test for eustachian tube function is still lacking. Narrowing of the isthmus alone was demonstrated to be an insufficient cause of otitis media. Inflammatory mediators identified within the eustachian tube and mi...
متن کاملEustachian tube function in adults with intact tympanic membrane.
UNLABELLED The Eustachian tube has the function of equilibrating the environmental pressure with inner pressure, protecting the middle ear from abrupt pressure changes. AIM To compare the Eustachian tube function in adults with and without history of otitis media and/or respiratory tract inflammation without tympanic membrane perforation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Eustachian tube function w...
