  • Ear lobe crease: incidence in a healthy Malay population.
    Amol Sharad Dharap, Hari Shankar Sharma, Myo Than
    Anthropologischer Anzeiger Bericht Uber Die Biologisch Anthropologische Literatur, 2000
    The incidence of ear lobe crease (ELC) was studied in 1576 healthy Malay subjects (566 males and 1010 females), randomly selected from the residents of Kota Bharu, Malaysia. ELC was present in 31.1% of males and in 3.6% of females; this difference in incidence between the two sexes is statistically significant (p > 0.05). In males the incidence of Type I crease was highest (10.1%) while that of Type III crease was lowest (2.3%). In females Type II crease showed the highest incidence (1.9%) and Type III the lowest. The incidence of bilateral presence of all three types of ELC showed an age-related increase in males. The ELC often starts unilaterally and later develops bilaterally and earlier in males than in females.
  • Kimura's disease: a report of three cases with a brief review of literature.

  • Malignant paraganglioma of frontoethmoidal region
    Hari Shankar Sharma, M Madhavan, Nor Hayati Othman, Mahayidin Muhamad, Jafri Malin Abdullah
    Auris Nasus Larynx, 1999
    Nonchromaffin paragangliomas are unusual tumours arising from widely distributed paraganglionic tissues probably of neural crest origin. In the head and neck region they are usually seen as carotid body or jugulotympanic tumours. Other rarely reported sites in the head and neck region are the orbit, nose and larynx. This report deals with a case of sinonasal paraganglioma which was initially treated with surgery and radiotherapy. Twenty two years later the tumour recurred and showed a rapid growth due to malignant transformation which we believe is late effect of radiotherapy. The clinical features, histopathology and role of radiotherapy in sinonasal paragangliomas together with a review of the medical literature have been discussed.
  • Orbital abscess due to acute ethmoiditis in a neonate
    S.C. Reddy, H.S. Sharma, A.S. Mazidah, H.K. Darnal, M. Mahayidin
    International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, 1999
    Orbital complications due to ethmoiditis are not uncommon in children. However, they are very rare in infants. A case of orbital abscess due to acute ethmoiditis in a 10 days old boy is reported. Causative microorganisms isolated from the operated specimen were Staphylococcus aureus and aspergillosis. Successful outcome was achieved following antimicrobial therapy, external ethmoidectomy, and surgical drainage of the abscess. The aetiopathogenesis and management of this clinical entity is discussed, with a brief review of the literature.
  • Management of laryngeal foreign bodies in children
    H S Sharma, S Sharma
    Journal of Accident and Emergency Medicine, 1999
    Foreign body aspiration is one of the leading causes of accidental death in children. Food items are the most common items aspirated in infants and toddlers, whereas older children are more likely to aspirate non-food items. Laryngeal impaction of a foreign body is very rare as most aspirated foreign bodies pass through the laryngeal inlet and get lodged lower down in the airway. Two rare cases of foreign body aspiration with subglottic impaction in very young children (under 2 years of age) are described. In both the cases subglottic impaction occurred consequent to attempted removal of foreign body by blind finger sweeping. The clinical presentation, investigations, and management of these rare cases are discussed.
  • Retropharyngeal abscess: Recent trends
    Hari Shankar Sharma, Daya Nath Kurl, Mohamad Hamzah
    Auris Nasus Larynx, 1998
    Retropharyngeal abscess (RPA) is relatively rare today. A study of 17 cases of RPA treated at our hospital in the past 10 years showed a shift in the disease from children below 6 years of age (41%) to older children and adults (58%). Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) was found to be the commonest (52%) aetiological predisposing factor in all age groups. Other aetiological factors were septicaemia (11%) in children below the age of 6 years and trauma due to foreign body (35%) in the older children and adult age groups. Klebsiella, Staphylococcus and Streptococcus were the commonest species of microorganisms grown from pus. The changing clinical trends, microbiology, choice of antibiotics, usefulness of radiology, and complications of this potentially fatal illness are discussed.
  • Tuberculoid granulomatous lesion of the pharynx - Review of the literature
    Hari Shankar Sharma, Daya Nath Kurl, Meor Zamari Meor Kamal
    Auris Nasus Larynx, 1998
    Pharyngeal involvement in tuberculosis is rare and is usually secondary to pulmonary tuberculosis. We report a very rare case of chronic granulomatous pharyngitis, which later turned out to be due to primary tuberculosis of the pharynx. The clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment and complications of this rare clinical entity are presented.
  • Teratocarcinosarcoma of the nasal cavity and ethmoid
    Hari Shankar Sharma, Jafri Malin Abdullah, Nor Hayati Othman, Mahayidin Muhamad
    Journal of Laryngology and Otology, 1998
    Sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma is very unusual malignant neoplasm histologically consisting of an epithelial element and one or more mesenchymal components. This is a report of teratocarcinosarcoma, in a 74-year-old male, involving the right nasal cavity and ethmoids with intracranial extension. The tumour was totally resected via the craniofacial approach and the patient was given post-operative chemotherapy. Extensive tumour necrosis, rapid growth and local destruction are the prominent features of this tumour. The clinical presentation, pathological features and clinical course of this rare malignancy are discussed with a review of the literature.
  • Antrochoanal polyp-a rare paediatric emergency
    Hari Shankar Sharma, Ahmad Ramadzan Ahmad Daud
    International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, 1997
    An antrochoanal polyp, a common clinical entity, with a rare presentation is being reported. A 12 year old boy was brought to Accident and Emergency department with an unusual sudden presentation of polypoidal mass filling the oral cavity up to his incisors as a result of which he could not swallow and speak. Prior to this episode he had no complaints of the disease. An emergency removal was planned and only during the operation could it be diagnosed as a antrochoanal polyp because of its pedicle in the lateral wall of the nose, which was confirmed by histopathological examination.
  • Fourth branchial pouch cyst: An unusual cause of neonatal stridor
    Hari Shankar Sharma, Abdul Razif, Mohamad Hamzah, Amol Sharad Dharap, Zahari Mahbar, et al.
    International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, 1996
    Fourth branchial pouch anomalies are extremely rare and only a few such cases showing sinuses and cystic masses have been reported in the literature. We describe a patient who presented on the third day of life with cystic neck swelling of fourth branchial pouch origin giving rise to respiratory obstruction and stridor. Despite repeated aspiration of the cystic mass to relieve respiratory obstruction, rapid recurrence of the mass continued to cause stridor and ultimately required surgical excision. The clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings of this unusual condition are discussed with a review of the literature.
