Abstract:
Objective: To assess the effectiveness of intralesional Doxycyline sclerotherapy in pediatric head and neck lymphangioma.
Materials & Methods: It was a retrospective chart review of the children who underwent Doxycycline sclerotherapy of lymphangioma of head and neck region over a period of 2 years between August 2017 to July 2019 at the Department of ENT & HNS, Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Kathmandu Nepal.Medical records were reviewed and evaluated for following variables like age, sex, history, examination findings including site of lesion, ultrasonographic findings, number of injection, dose of Doxycycline and any side effectsnoted and the final outcome of sclerotherapy.
Results: There was complete resolution of the macrocysticlesion infourcases (12.5%) after two sessions of Doxycycline sclerotherapy. The partial resolution of lymphangioma occurred in 20 cases (62.5%) with mixed type of lymphangioma whereas, in eight cases (25%), there was no response observed even after six sessions of sclerotherapy. Minor side effects like local site erythema and swelling were observed in 20 cases. Secondary infection was seen in eight cases. Eight patients developed fever after injection which was resolved within 24 hours.
Conclusion: Doxycycline sclerotherapy is safe and effective in the treatment of head and neck lymphangioma in the pediatric population.

Audiogram pattern in healed chronic otitis media
(Society of Otolaryngologists of Nepal, 2020) Bhatta, Rishi; Kidwai, Sana Mehraj; Pyakurel, Manita; Neupane, Yogesh
Abstract:
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine type and degree of hearing loss in healed Chronic Otitis Media (COM) patients.
Materials and methods: It was a prospective analytical study done over a period of 8 months (1st Jan to 31st August 2018) at Nepalgunj Medical College, Nepalgunj. Patient diagnosed with healed COM underwent audiogram and result was noted in proforma.
Results: There were 542 ears studied in 386 patients. Most of these patients (35.2%) were 21-40 years of age. Overall 77.8% of ears were part of bilateral COM disease. Major symptoms were hearing loss (71.2%) and tinnitus (58.6%). More than three fourth (76.0%) had past history of ear discharge. Thinned tympanic membrane and myringosclerosis patch were common findings. Out of 352 ears with abnormal audiogram, conductive hearing loss was seen in 59.3% and sensorineural in 21.3%. Low frequency involvement was more seen in younger age group (<40 years) while higher frequency was seen in older age group (>40 years).
Conclusion: Healed COM is common in middle adulthood stage and mostly associated with COM in other ear. Hearing loss and tinnitus are major complaints and more than three fourth has past history of ear discharge.
