The history of intratympanic drug therapy in otology 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Lustig LR 《Otolaryngologic clinics of North America》2004,37(5):1001-1017
The application of drugs through the eardrum and into the middle ear to treat various otologic disorders has recently gained wide-spread popularity. Despite the relatively recent interest in this technique, if one considers any application of medication into the middle ear as intratympanic therapy, the roots of this method can really be considered to date back to antiquity. This article presents the development of intratympanic drug therapy from early times through the nineteenth century. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To study and understand the contribution made by Adam Politzer (1835-1920) to 20th century otology and analyze his place in the history of otology. METHOD: A study of his four reference works, some of his hundreds of publications in medical journals, and diverse publications written about him. RESULTS: All areas of otology have been studied, compiled, and improved through his assorted publications, notably his atlas of otoscopy published in 1865, the first work of its kind, expanded and reedited in 1896; his 10 tables of the anatomy of the ear amended in 1873; his textbook of the diseases of the ear, which was first published in two volumes in 1878 and 1882 and subsequently reedited four times as one volume, the last time being in 1908; his anatomy and histology book published in 1889; and his book on the history of otology, which up to now is the most complete tome existing on the subject, edited in two volumes in 1907 and 1913. No other has been as prolific as he. He invented, in particular, a revolutionary method of making the eustachian tube permeable--a method that made him famous and carries his name. He also developed an acoumeter to measure hearing and was the first to describe certain pathologic conditions histologically, of which otosclerosis is one. CONCLUSION: Politzer is certainly the greatest otologist of the 19th century and probably one of the greatest of all time. His influence on the 50 years of otology has never been equaled. He deserves a double mention in the history of otology: as an otologist and as a historian. It is in his honor that the International Society of Otology bears his name. 相似文献

The diagnosis and management of perilymphatic fistula has received considerable attention in recent years. Despite the use of sophisticated technology, the diagnosis of perilymphatic fistula continues to rest primarily upon clinical suspicion and the exclusion of other disorders. In addition, the confirmation of a perilymphatic fistula during surgical exploration is usually based upon the subjective observation of fluid pooling in niches of the middle ear. A sensitive and objective laboratory test for identifying perilymph in the middle ear would be a useful adjunct for the diagnosis and management of perilymphatic fistula. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the potential utility of beta 2 (beta 2) transferrin assay in the diagnosis of perilymphatic fistula. To accomplish this objective, we confirmed that beta 2 transferrin is present in living human perilymph and is absent in the normal or inflamed middle ear. In addition, the utility of beta 2 transferrin assay in the diagnosis of cerebrospinal fluid otorrhea is presented. 相似文献

Anatomy, nomenclature, first clinical observations: In ancient Greece and Rome and in the Middle Ages the posterior opening of the nasal passage was known (Greek "choane" = funnel) as an atomical structure, and it was also known that chronic nasal catarrh is common in children, but it was not realized that this was associated with special pathological alterations. The anatomist H. von Luschka in Tübingen, Germany, was the first to describe the nasopharynx in detail, and he coined the term "pharyngeal tonsil." The otologists of the 19th century like Kramer and Toynbee had placed the Eustachian tube in the center of their investigations and carried out numerous dissections with demonstration of the tubal orifice. They also knew that middle ear infections usually originated in the nasopharynx, but they did not realize that the hypertrophic pharyngeal tonsil was the cause. Posterior rhinoscopy and the diagnosis of the hypertrophy of the pharyngeal tonsil: Czermak in Budapest in 1860 had invented posterior rhinoscopy, and he was the first to diagnose hypertrophic alterations around the tubal orifice and the first to realize that they were the cause of tubal malfunction. Wilhelm Meyer in Kopenhagen in 1868 and 1873-1874 described hypertrophy of the pharyngeal tonsil ("adenoid vegetations") in detail and associated this finding with a syndrome characterized by mouth-breathing, snoring, a typical facial expression, deafness, recurring middle-ear affections, and characteristic alterations of speech. He based his conclusions on 5 years' experience with 175 observations in his office and on examination of 2700 children in Denmark and England. Surgical therapy of adenoid vegetations: Voltolini in Breslau in 1865 had observed a few cases of hypertrophy of the pharyngeal tonsil, and he was the first to treat them by galvanic cauterization. Meyer developed various instruments for reducing the pharyngeal tonsil. They were introduced through the nose while the application of the instrument was assisted digitally via the mouth and pharynx. The operation of the pharyngeal tonsil was adopted very eagerly by a great number of nasal surgeons. Among the numerous special instruments that subsequently were invented the most promising was the ring knife invented by Gottstein in 1886. Anesthesia and positioning: The pioneers of this intervention, Voltolini, Meyer, Semon and others, all operated without any anesthesia, but they usually would need up to 12 sessions (Semon) until the pharyngeal tonsil had been sufficiently reduced. Beckmann in Berlin, who had invented a modification of Gottstein's ring knife, reported in 1897 on more than 5000 cases in which he had removed the adenoids in just one session, in each case without anesthesia. Besides these surgeons, others used cocaine for local anesthesia or chlorethyl or bromethyl for general anesthesia. The German surgeon Edmund Rose (Berlin and Zürich) in 1874 introduced the position with the head suspended for larger interventions like resection ot the maxilla. Rudloff in Wiesbaden, Germany, in 1900 adopted this position for adenoidectomy, but this was generally accepted only after the mouth gags developed by Davis-Boyle and Negus had been introduced. The diagnostic and surgical interventions in the nasopharynx were a powerful link in the process of fusion between otology and rhinolaryngology around the turn of the century. This historical development is described in great detail with many figures and quotations from the literature. 相似文献

STUDY DESIGN: A review of primary and secondary historical and scientific literature concerning the life and writings of Sir Charles Alfred Ballance (1856-1936). RESULTS: Sir Charles Alfred Ballance was a pioneer in otology and neurotology, responsible for many "firsts" in the field, including the complete removal of a cerebellopontine angle tumor with significant patient survival and grafting the mastoid cavity with epithelium to speed healing. He was a strict abdicator of the complete mastoid operation with ligature of the jugular vein and drainage of the lateral sinus, and he advanced many other neurotologic procedures during his lifetime. He successfully sectioned the VIIIth cranial nerve, relieving a patient from intractable vertigo, developed a meticulous system for treating the complications of suppurative infections of the mastoid, diligently studied facial nerve reanastomosis, and was the first to perform a spinal accessory to facial nerve anastomosis for the relief of facial palsy. Ballance published over 75 original articles and was the primary author on two landmark books concerning temporal bone and neurologic surgery. He was the leader of many surgical societies and maintained a life of research and science until his death. CONCLUSION: Sir Charles Ballance was a pioneer in neurotologic and skull base surgery and greatly advanced the field during its inception. This work focuses on the otologic and neurotologic endeavors of Sir Charles Alfred Ballance, bringing his accomplishments into modern relief. 相似文献
