Pharyngeal hairy polyps

An unusual bilateral fibroepithelial pharyngeal polyps: report of a case.

Fibroepithelial polyps are benign polypoid lesions arising from the mesodermal tissue and composed of varying amounts of stroma covered by squamous epithelium. We report the unusual case of a 57 years old man who visited our Hospital with complains of airway obstruction and uneasy feeling like a foreign body deep in his throat. After medical examination we find a large mass on the right side of...

Bilateral oropharyngeal hairy polyps: a rare cause of dyspnea in newborns.

Hairy polyp (HP) is one of the causes of congenital dyspnea, a rare developmental malformation of bigerminal origin that comprises both ectodermal and mesodermal elements foreign to the site in which it is found. It typically presents as a pedunculated mass in the oropharynx and nasopharynx. Major symptoms at presentation are related with respiratory obstruction and feeding problems. In the lit...

Hairy Strings

Zero modes of the worldsheet spinors of a closed string can source higher order moments of the bulk supergravity fields. In this work, we analyze various configurations of closed strings focusing on the imprints of the quantized spinor vevs onto the tails of bulk fields. We identify supersymmetric arrangements for which all multipole charges vanish; while for others, we find that one is left wi...

Pharyngeal constrictions.

From a fiberscope, the tip of which was swung from left to right in the pharynx, cinefilm frames were obtained which showed the cross-sectional shape of pharyngeal constrictions in back vowels. This information was combined with the information offered by X-ray pictures of the same subject phonating the same vowels on a different occasion. The results agree to a reasonable extent with previousl...
