ENTangles
Across
- 3. Eponymous cell type in aggressive variant of follicular thyroid
- 8. Bilateral symmetric increased uptake/enhancement of the lacrimal, parotid, and salivary glands, classically seen in sarcoidosis sign is
- 10. flap Inferiorly based anterior tracheal wall flap created during tracheostomy; sutured to skin to mature the stoma and prevent early tube displacement
- 11. Abnormal overgrowth of dense fibrous scar tissue extending beyond original wound margins; this does not regress spontaneously
- 12. Organ-preservation larynx strategy using combined therapy
- 15. En bloc removal of all ipsilateral cervical lymph nodes levels I–V together with SCM, IJV and spinal accessory nerve; described by Crile in 1906
- 18. Classification system for muscle and musculocutaneous flaps based on vascular supply; Type I has single dominant pedicle; latissimus dorsi is Type V; Nahai co-authored this system
- 19. Molecular alteration classically associated with sinonasal intestinal-type adenocarcinoma
- 23. Intraoperative histology; tissue processed without fixation; false negative rate 3–5%; sensitivity highest at mucosal margin; results guide extent of resection
- 24. Real-time fluorescence guided surgery dye method
- 25. Biphasic benign salivary neoplasm with both epithelial and myxochondroid stromal elements; incomplete capsule in 25% predisposes to recurrence after spillage
Down
- 1. Sentinel bleed in irradiated neck cancer patient
- 2. Floating teeth appearance in the jaw is a classic sign of what disease
- 4. Dural tail sign in a sphenoid wing extra-axial mass suggests what diagnosis
- 5. Fascial layer of deep cervical fascia that forms the capsule of the thyroid gland; encloses trachea and esophagus; split during thyroidectomy
- 6. Classification used for cervical nodal metastasis in parotid malignancy
- 7. Most reliable salvage option when microvascular reconstruction fails in head and neck surgery, based on thoracoacromial artery
- 9. Free flap based on descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery; workhorse in H&N soft tissue reconstruction; donor site closed primarily if width under 8 cm
- 13. Rapid label-free optical imaging technique that provides immediate, high-resolution, H&E-like images of unprocessed, fresh tissue.
- 14. Laryngeal framework surgery classified into Types I–IV for repositioning and augmentation of vocal folds to improve phonation and correct glottic incompetence
- 16. laser Which laser is used in transoral laryngeal surgery
- 17. Beclard triangle is used to identify this artery
- 20. Ernest syndrome is caused by inflammation of this ligament.
- 21. HCL classification system is used for reconstruction of defects in this craniofacial bone; newer system is the alternative; through-and-through defects require vascularised bone
- 22. Most effective non-surgical treatment of Frey’s syndrome
