“…Although otolaryngologic manifestations of various rheumatic diseases have been well described, awareness among otolaryngologists regarding these manifestations is negligible. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Early and accurate diagnosis with prompt treatment or referral to specialists may prevent morbidity and mortality related to these diseases. The present study was designed to assess the understanding and practice about various ENT problems of rheumatic diseases amongst otolaryngologists.…”

Wegener's granulomatosis, Sarcoidosis, Sjög-ren's Syndrome, Behçet disease, Systemic lupus erythematosus, relapsing polychondritis, Churg-Strauss syndrome and Cogan syndromes are rheumatic diseases commonly encountered by otolaryngologists. The present study was designed to assess the understanding and practice about various ENT problems of rheumatic diseases amongst otolaryngologists. A group of 29 otolaryngologists was asked to fill questionnaire which was based on knowledge and practice of otolaryngologists about various otolaryngologic manifestations of rheumatic diseases. Chronic sinusitis was most frequently seen followed by recurrent oral ulcers while spontaneous septal perforation was most infrequently seen symptom by participants. Otolaryngologists showed high index of suspicion and confidence for Wegener's granulomatosis in comparison to other rheumatic diseases. There was no difference noted in practice of otolaryngologists of tertiary care centers and other practitioners. Eighty two percent of participants felt, they were not adequately trained about these diseases. Most of them (93 %) felt that knowledge of such diseases is also necessary for post graduate training in Otolaryngology. Though otolaryngologists are aware of otolaryngologic manifestations of Rheumatic diseases but their index of suspicion, practical implication of knowledge and confidence for evaluation of such diseases is low. Educational sector should define a better medical curriculum for training in Otorhinolaryngology, head and neck surgery.

“…37 CREST syndrome is a variant of systemic sclerosis with its own acronym defined as calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, esophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyly and telangiectasia. [1][2][3][4][5] The association of this disease with malignancyis well established.

“…Reactive hemophagocytic syndrome is a hematological disorder characterized by the activation of differentiated macrophages to be involved in the phagocytosis of hematopoietic cells. [3][4][5][6] In the head and neck, this disorder shows enlarged cervical lymphadenopathy. Nodes have an oblong appearance with a central hyperechogenic hilum that is associated with a central flow pattern, seen via color duplex examination (Figure 11).…”

[3][4][5][6] Optic or trigeminal neuritis appears as diffuse enlargement and contrast enhancement of the nerve in patients with connective tissue disease 56 (Figure 12). Thyroid autoimmune disease has been reported in patients with mixed connective tissue disorder that appears as multiple small hypoechoic regions within the thyroid glands.…”

We review the imaging appearance of connective tissue diseases of the head and neck. Bilateral sialadenitis and dacryoadenitis are seen in Sjögren's syndrome; ankylosis of the temporo-mandibular joint with sclerosis of the crico-arytenoid joint are reported in rheumatoid arthritis and lupus panniculitis with atypical infection are reported in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Relapsing polychondritis shows subglottic stenosis, prominent ear and saddle nose; progressive systemic sclerosis shows osteolysis of the mandible, fibrosis of the masseter muscle with calcinosis of the subcutaneous tissue and dermatomyositis/polymyositis shows condylar erosions and autoimmune thyroiditis. Vascular thrombosis is reported in antiphospholipid antibodies syndrome; cervical lymphadenopathy is seen in adult-onset Still's disease, and neuropathy with thyroiditis reported in mixed connective tissue disorder. Imaging is important to detect associated malignancy with connective tissue disorders. Correlation of the imaging findings with demographic data and clinical findings are important for the diagnosis of connective tissue disorders.
