Diseases of the ear, throat and nose (otolaryngology)

Lateral pharyngeal adenopharyngeal adenophlegmon.

Lateral parapharyngeal abscess, unlike retropharyngeal abscess, occurs equally frequently at all ages and develops lateral to the lateral wall of the pharynx.

Retropharyngeal adenophlegmon: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

A distinction is made between retropharyngeal abscesses and adenophlegmons, lateral abscesses and adenophlegmons of the peripharyngeal space, intrapharyngeal (visceral) phlegmons, phlegmonous lingual periamygdalitis, Ludwig's angina, abscess of the epiglottis, abscess of the lateral pharyngeal ridges, thyroid gland damage, and cervical mediastinitis.

Angina in HIV infection

We have included tonsillitis with this viral infection in the class of vulgar tonsillitis, since the anginal process that occurs in the pharynx is related to secondary diseases caused by AIDS, caused by the human T-lymphotropic virus type 3, which results in the rapid development of the so-called opportunistic infection, which vegetates in abundance in the mucous membrane of the pharynx and its lymphadenoid formations.

Uvulite

Uvulitis is an acute inflammation of the uvula with a sudden onset, pain when swallowing, a sensation of a floating foreign body in the pharynx, and difficulty breathing. Sometimes uvulitis occurs at night, with the patient waking up from the sensation of a foreign body in the pharynx; attempts to eliminate it by sharp expectoration exhalation increase the pain and swelling of the soft palate.

Simanowsky-Plaut-Vensant's angina.

Simanovsky-Plaut-Vincent's angina, or the so-called ulcerative-membranous angina, is a disease of the tonsils that occurs most often in weakened individuals.

Catarrhal sore throat

Catarrhal tonsillitis most often occurs seasonally and occurs as a result of the activation of pharyngeal microflora due to seasonal changes in climatic conditions.

Follicular and lacunar sore throat

Catarrhal tonsillitis is often only the initial stage of a subsequent pathological process that develops into follicular tonsillitis and lacunar tonsillitis.

Acute nonspecific sore throats

According to modern concepts, acute non-specific tonsillitis is an infectious-allergic disease with predominant damage to the lymphadenoid ring of the pharynx and most often the palatine tonsils.

Injuries to the sinuses: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Traumatic injuries to the paranasal sinuses are much rarer than injuries and wounds to the nasal pyramid, but if they occur, they are clinically much more severe.

Nasal injuries: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Nasal injuries are divided by origin into domestic, sports, industrial and wartime. The most common of them are domestic and sports.
