It was observed that the amplitudes of DPOAE were significantly lower in tinnitus patients than that of persons without complaint of tinnitus, at a frequency of 1281-1560, 5120-6250, 7243-8837 Hz, which imply that decrease of DPOAEs amplitudes may be related to the presence of tinnitus. It can be concluded that there is association between tinnitus and reduced OHC activity which indicate the OHC of cochlea are involved in the generation of tinnitus.
We report a rare case of sessile polypoidal xanthoma of vocal cord in a 38-year-old female, presented with complaint of hoarseness of voice for 3 months. Hopkins telescopic examination showed a sessile polyp arising from the anterior aspect of laryngeal vocal cord. With clinical diagnosis of vocal cord polyp, microlaryngeal surgery was done and tissue was sent for histopathological and culture examination. Histopathological findings showed features of polypoidal xanthoma. Culture was negative.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
