  • congenital hairy polyp of the Palatopharyngeus Muscle
    2013
    Co-Authors: Brandon Christianson, Seckin O Ulualp, Korgun Koral, Dinesh Rakheja, Ronald Deskin
    Abstract:

    Purpose. To describe clinical, radiologic, and histological features of a congenital hairy polyp arising from the Palatopharyngeus Muscle in a neonate. Methods. Chart of a 2-day-old female referred to a tertiary care pediatric hospital for assessment of intraoral mass was reviewed. Results. The child was born at 32 weeks and an intraoral mass was noted. The patient was transferred to tertiary care children's hospital on day 2 of life. The child had increased work of breathing at presentation and required continuous positive airway pressure. Physical examination revealed a pedunculated mass which was protruding into the oropharynx from the nasopharynx. MRI of the lesion documented a discrete bilobed mass which filled the posterior nasopharynx. The mass abutted the uvula and soft palate; however, the mass did not appear to be arising from the soft palate. Intraoperative exam showed a mass arising from the right Palatopharyngeus Muscle in the superior pole region of the tonsil. Histologic examination showed ectodermal and mesodermal derivatives confirming congenital hairy polyp. At 8-month followup, the surgical site was healed with no evidence of recurrent lesion. Conclusions. Congenital hairy polyp, though uncommon, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of oropharyngeal mass in neonates.

  • Ear pain in patients with oropharynx carcinoma: how MRI contributes to the explanation of a prognostic and predictive symptom
    2004
    Co-Authors: Harriet C. Thoeny, Karl T Beer, Peter Vock, Richard H Greiner
    Abstract:

    Reflex otalgia is a predictive and prognostic parameter for local control in patients with oropharynx carcinoma. Can a morphologic correlate of this important symptom be detected by MRI? Thirty-six patients were prospectively evaluated by MRI before radical radiotherapy. Sixteen patients had reflex otalgia; 20 did not. The oropharynx and adjacent regions were analyzed. Alteration was defined as effacement of anatomical structures, signal alteration or enhancement after contrast medium administration. The χ ^2-test was used to compare categorical parameters. In patients with reflex otalgia, alteration of the following structures innervated by the glossopharyngeal nerve were found significantly more often: nasopharynx, hard palate, superior constrictor pharyngis Muscle, palatine tonsil, Palatopharyngeus Muscle, palatoglossus Muscle, stylopharyngeus Muscle, hyoglossus Muscle and preepiglottic space. No difference was found for the Muscles of mastication, levator and tensor veli palatini Muscles, styloglossus Muscle, genioglossus Muscle, intrinsic Muscles of the tongue, digastric Muscles, mucosal surface of the lateral and posterior pharyngeal wall, uvula, valleculae, parapharyngeal space and larynx. An alteration of structures innervated by the glossopharyngeal nerve was visualized on MRI significantly more often when reflex otalgia was present. Involvement of structures innervated by other cranial nerves did not show the same association with ear pain.
