Sudden deafness is defined as acute inner ear hearing loss, in the rule one-sided, of unknown etiology. The tentative diagnosis can be made easily by otoscopy and simple audiological forke tests. To exclude symptomatic acute hearing losses during the first treatment period, f.e. acoustic neurinoma, rupture of the round window membrane, multiple sclerosis, infectious diseases like Borreliosis or Lues, but also psychogenic hearing disorders we recommend an immediate hospitalization. Neurological and internal check up should look for inflammatory or degenerative diseases of the vascular or nervous system and also for metabolic risk factors like diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, gout or blood hyperviscosity. Today there are some reasons to assume, that disturbances of the microcirculation of the cochlea end vessels may a possible prominent etiological factor in sudden deafness. Therefore the aim of therapy today is to improve the microcirculation and the oxygenation of the sensory cells of the inner ear.

The commonest causes of ulnar nerve compression in the epitrochlear groove have been widely reported in the literature. The author reports four rare causes, viz.: neurinoma of the ulnar nerve (one case), compression of the ulnar nerve due to an arthrogenic ganglion (two cases), ulnar neuritis due to articular gout (two cases), and compression of the ulnar nerve due to post-traumatic fibrosis in the epitrochlear groove (one case).

Intra-articular (IA) and peri-articular (PA) tumors of the knee are frequently encountered by orthopaedic surgeons. Nonetheless, due to the possibility of great morbidity and potential mortality, it is important to recognize and differentiate between benign and malignant lesions in a timely manner. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to provide a concise, practical, and updated review of commonly encountered IA and PA tumors including intratendinous gout, synovial chondromatosis, schwannoma, pigmented villonodular synovitis, and synovial sarcoma, and a detailed description of differentiating features to include various imaging modalities.

The purpose of this article is to review calcified or ossified benign soft tissue lesions that may simulate malignancy. We review the clinical presentations, locations, imaging characteristics, and differential diagnostic considerations of myositis ossificans, tophaceous gout, benign vascular lesions, calcific tendinopathy with osseous involvement, periosteal chondroma, primary synovial chondromatosis, Hoffa's disease, tumoral calcinosis, lipoma with metaplasia, calcifying aponeurotic fibroma, calcific myonecrosis, ancient schwannoma, and Castleman disease.
