Opis:
Introduction: The aim of the study was to attempt to analyze the most common causes leading to dizziness, vertigo and balance disorders according to gender and age. Material and methods: Analysis of medical records and evaluation of VNG tests were performed on 608 patients of the private ENT practice “VERTIGO” in Opole between 2011 and 2017, including 404 women and 204 men. The patients’ age was in the range from 18 to 85 years, average age 49.88 years. The following parameters were taken into account in the analysis: the result of the subjective examination and the basic ENT and otoneurological examination, videonystagmographic examination, hearing assessment (tonal and impedance audiometry) and imaging tests (head MRI/CT and cervical spine x-ray), assessment of doppler ultrasound examination of vertebral arteries flow. Results: In examinations patients dizziness and vertigo were more common in women (66.45%) than men (33.55%), the most numerous was group of patients over 60 years, i.e. 30, 76%, systemic ver-tigo predominated (61.02%). Hypertension was the most common chronic disease in the entire popu-lation of patients with dizziness, vertigo and balance disorder and its frequency increases with age, which translates into an increase in the frequency of non-systemic and mixed dizziness reported by patients. The frequency of lipid metabolism disorders increases statistically significantly with age, while thyroid dysfunction as well as migraines and frequent headaches are significantly more com-mon in women reporting dizziness, vertigo and balance disorder than in men. In doppler ultrasound examination, while with age the frequency of bilateral disorders in vertebral artery flow increases significantly. The percentage of individual diagnoses in the examined patients was as follows: ves-tibular disorder (35.86%), benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (18.9%), mixed vertigo (16.12%), cervical vertigo (5.42%), Méniére's disease and its suspicion (5.1%), vertigo and dizziness of central origin (3.78%), vascular vertigo (2.8%), vestibular neuritis (2.3%), post-traumatic dizziness (1.32%) and the cerebellopontine angle tumors (0.16%). In the VNG study: in visual-oculomotor tests an in-crease in the percentage of pathology with age between 51 and 60 years old. Conclusions: The structure of diagnoses made in private practice differs from public health care. This results from the fact that the patient with acute symptoms first goes or is transported to the hospital emergency department. The second reason is the cost of diagnostics in the private sector which is not affordable to every patient.

Opis:
Advanced age is often burdened with many deficits that are a consequence of the aging process, unfavorable lifestyle and multi-morbidity. They contribute to increased morbidity and disability of the older people. Laryngological problems often concern seniors, particularly progressing with age hearing impairment, dizziness, balance disorders, epistaxis, nasopharyngeal diseases, larynx, sinuses, and salivary glands disorders. They are not only a health threat, such as head and neck cancer, but they contribute to the deterioration of mobility, falls and injuries, depression, cognitive functions impairment and, consequently, functional disability, loss of independence and a sense of isolation. In this context, taking as an example the most common ailment, which is hearing impairment, laryngological procedures in the form of the use of hearing aids or cochlear implant improves cognitive functions, mood, self-esteem, opportunities for social interaction and everyday functioning, and the quality of life of older people. In turn, in view of the typical for older age polypathology and of significant reduction of the reserves of the organism, effective treatment aimed at improving health, preventing complications of diagnostics and therapy as well as disability with the desire to maintain independence and good quality of life requires the cooperation of different specialists. The knowledge and experience of geriatricians and the comprehensive geriatric assessment used as the diagnostic tool, aimed at identifying deficits typical of seniors’ age may significantly contribute to a more adequate risk and benefit assessment, selection of optimal treatment for a given health situation and identification of high-risk individuals requiring during the treatment period special supervision to reduce the risk of complications and the risk of development of geriatric syndromes such as delirium, cognitive disorders, malnutrition, falls and injuries, functional disability.

Opis:
CBCT is a relatively new diagnostic imaging method. It was first used in 1982 at the Mayo Clinic Biodynamics Research Laboratory [1], and has been commercially used in dentistry since 2001. It differs from multidetector computed tomography in terms of implementation technique and some parameters. A low dose of radiation is its greatest advantage, thanks to which many specialists, including ENT doctors and reconstructive surgeons, are more willing to use it. In otorhinolaryngology, CBCT is applied in pre- and perioperative diagnostics in both rhinology and otology. In reconstructive surgery, CBCT facilitates precise planning of the flap and intraoperatively allows a perfect match of the reconstructed tissue elements. In the article, the authors present current information on CBCT in ENT obtained on the basis of a review of Polish and foreign literature and share their own experience in its application in reconstructive surgery within the craniofacial region.
