Audiological characters of tinnitus aurium
(Springer India, 1978) P.L. Bhatia; H.C. Samant; O.P. Gupta; H.S. Ghai
The frequency of tinnitus aurium is mainly 125-500 c.p.s. when associated with conductive hearing impairment, but 1000 c.p.s. or higher in sensory cases. Its loudness is only 5-10 dB in majority of patients irrespective of the associated type of hearing loss. The patient's description of tinnitus does not give any definite information regarding its frequency and loudness. The tinnitus aurium is usually maskable but incomplete masking, non-maskability and excessive difference between tinnitogram and air conduction threshold probably denote cochlear origin. © 1978 Association of Otolaryngologists of India.
Blood Groups in Carcinomas of the Oral Cavity
(Georg Thieme Verlag, 2024) Y.N. Gupta; Saroj Gupta; O.P. Gupta; N.N. Khanna
Distribution of ABO blood groups, their relative frequencies and statistical significance in relation to controls had been done in 172 patients of carcinomas of the oral cavity. In general oral malignancies were found to be statistically significantly high in blood group B (P <0.001), while considering the individual sites, the predilaction was also found significant in carcinemas of tongue and alveolus. © 2024 Georg Thieme Verlag.

Carotid body tumour. Excision with resection of carotid arteries
(1976) S. Gupta; O.P. Gupta; D.N. Verma; B.L. Rastogi
A case of carotid body tumor is reported and the salient features of its histopathology have been described. Its excision with resection of the carotid arteries can be safely undertaken if the tumor is of long duration, the angiography shows marked displacement of the carotid arteries and if the blood pressure is maintained during surgery by regulating the blood transfusion and lowering the head end of the patient, thereby preventing fatal brain hypoxia. The fact that it is a potentially malignant and radioresistant tumor, makes its excision with or without ligation of the carotid arteries almost imperative.

Congenital midline fistula of the tongue
(1975) H.C. Samant; O.P. Gupta; P.L. Bhatia; D.N. Verma; B.L. Rastogi
A possibly unknown entity of congenital midline fistula of the tongue, hitherto not mentioned in the literature, is reported. The embryologic basis of it is explained and the role of the tuberculum impar in the development of the anterior two thirds of the tongue is discussed. © 1975.
Cranial manifestations of mesodermal dysplasia in neurofibromatosis
(1978) P.L. Bhatia; O.P. Gupta; S.K. Gupta; M.L. Mehrotra
A case of generalized neurofibromatosis with multiple cranial lesions in the mandible and maxilla and the frontal, sphenoid and temporal bones is reported.
Decade audiograms and site of lesion in presbyacusis
(Springer India, 1976) P.L. Bhatia; H.C. Samant; O.P. Gupta; K.D. Patidar
A study of 111 patients of presbyacusis revealed an earlier onset of hearing impairment in our country, as compared to the occident, probably due to poor nutrition. There was a higher incidence of "presbyacusis praecox" in women than in men. The hearing loss increased progressively decade by decade with the higher frequencies showing more loss than the lower. However, even these lower frequencies showed hearing impairment of more than 30 dB in all decades. Types IV and V audiometric curves (Schuknecht, 1974) predominated in both sexes, showing thereby that the lesion in these cases of presbyacusis was mainly an atrophy of the spiral ligament or an "inner ear conductive deafness". Retrocochlear lesions were present in only four cases. © 1976 Association of Otolaryngologists of India.

Fibrosarcoma of nose and paranasal sinuses
(1980) M.K. Agarwal; S. Gupta; O.P. Gupta; H.C. Samant
Involvement of nose and maxilla by fibrosarcoma is extremely rare. Only a few cases of fibrosarcoma arising in this region are reported in the world literature. Two cases of fibrosarcoma are described, and the literature relating to this disease entity is briefly reviewed. Salient features helping in the diagnosis and management of fibrosarcoma also are highlighted. Copyright © 1980 Wiley‐Liss, Inc., A Wiley Company
Fibrous dysplasia of the mastoid
(1980) H.C. Samant; M.K. Agarwal; O.P. Gupta; S. Khanna
Involvement of the mastoid by osteogenic tumors occurs on rare occasions. The commonest among them is an osteoma. About 48 cases of osteoma of the mastoid region have been reported so far in the literature. Because of the rarity of this type of lesion, the following case is reported.

Giant aneurysm of the internal carotid artery in the carotid canal
(1979) S.K. Gupta; O.P. Gupta; M.M. Singh; D.N. Varma; R. Kesharwani
A case of giant aneurysm of the intrapetrous portion of the internal carotid artery, with intracranial and extra-cranial in an eight-year-old girl, is reported. Intracranial extension was demonstrated by the presence of a large sac projecting above the petrous shadow in a frontal carotid angiogram, and upward displacement of the middle cerebral artery in the post-ligation angiogram. Extracranial extension was shown clinically as a pulsating mass in the nasopharynx, and also radiologically as a widened medial coronoid space. Erosive destruction of the petrous bone and its neighbourhood produced palsies of the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th cranial nerves. There was appreciable recovery in the cranial nerve palsies when the patient was assessed clinically two weeks after ligation of the internal carotid artery.
Giant cell tumor of the sphenoid bone
(1975) I.M. Gupta; O.P. Gupta; H.C. Samant; P.L. Bhatia; A.K. Agarwal; G.C. Pant
The clinical features of the giant cell tumor of the sphenoid bone have been discussed and a case report has been added to the fourteen cases reported in the literature. Such cases may first report to an ophthalmologist, an otolaryngologist, a neurologist, or an internist. They should consider this condition in a patient who complains of headache, ocular symptoms such as diplopia, and diminution of vision progressing to complete blindness. The presence of multiple cranial nerve palsies involving II, III, IV, V, and VI nerves in various combinations and the sellar erosion in the lateral x-ray of the skull are quite suggestive of this tumor which should be confirmed by biopsy. The telecobalt therapy appears to give the best results. © 1975, SAGE Publications. All rights reserved.
Hemangioendothelioma of the neck
(1979) M.K. Agarwal; O.P. Gupta; H.C. Samant; S. Khanna
A rare case of hemangioendothelioma of the neck is described. Salient features helping in the diagnosis and management of this type of lesion are also highlighted.
Hemangiopericytoma of the head and neck
(1985) O.P. Gupta; R.K. Jain; S. Gupta
The hemangiopericytoma is an uncommon vascular tumor with a variable pathologic behavior. It arises from pericytes of Zimmerman, and has no specific predilection for age or sex. Approximately one fourth of cases can be found in the head and neck region. Tumors can be benign or malignant, although specific differentiation becomes difficult at times. Wide surgical excision is the treatment of choice, but radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be valuable adjuncts. Two cases of hemangiopericytoma in the head and neck are described. Tumor origin in the posterior hypopharyngeal wall is reported for the first time.
Hematogenous bone infection of the zygomatic complex
(1976) P.L. Bhatia; O.P. Gupta; H.C. Samant; S. Gupta
The etiology, clinical features, and management of 5 cases of hematogenous bone infection in the region of zygomatic bone and the zygomatic arch are described. Such a condition must be considered in patients with a swelling or sinus in the malar region. The etiopathogenesis was found to be pyogenic bone infection in 3 cases, while primary osseous tuberculosis and osteomyelitis variolosa were present in one case each. The involvement of the zygomatic bone and its arch by the latter 2 disease processes is being reported in the literature for the first time. All these cases were explored by the transzygomatic approach, and bony sequestra were removed in 3 cases. The tubercular patient had caseous material on the surface of the zygomatic bone, while abscesses in the temporal fossa had to be drained in 3 cases. The results were good in all the patients, and there was little cosmetic disfigurement.
Hydatid disease of the head and neck
(1978) H.C. Samant; M.K. Agarwal; O.P. Gupta; S. Gupta
Two cases of hydatid cyst are reported, one in the right parotid region involving the deep lobe and the other in the superficial subcutaneous tissue of the sub-mental region. Cystic swellings, where no definite preoperative diagnosis can be arrived at, call for a high suspicion rate for hydatid disease and, even in the nonendemic areas, Casoni's test and complement fixation tests should be carried out. © 1978 Association of Otolaryngologists of India.
Immunological evaluation of children undergoing tonsillectomy
(1979) D. Gogol; O.P. Gupta; M.K. Agarwal; R.M. Gupta
This study was carried out on 80 patients undergoing tonsillectomy for chronic tonsillitis. Twenty healthy school children in the same age group were investigated for control values. Ten children were also available for evaluation of any immunological change after tonsillectomy. No significant variation was seen in the serum IgG, IgA, and IgM levels before and after tonsillectomy. Peripheral absolute lymphocyte count was higher in the pre-operative cases as compared to the control group, and this count became near normal following tonsillectomy. Skin tests with recall antigens PPD and Candida and contact sensitizing agent 2:4 DNCB showed an improved cell mediated immune response following tonsillectomy.
