Liquorrhea nasalis (LN) is considered by ENT specialists as vasomotor--allergic rhinitis. It is divided into craniosinusonasal and cranionasal. The latter form is more dangerous as to intracranial complications. Otorhinolaryngological and otoneurological examinations of LN patients are essential in the disease diagnosis, evaluation of surgical results (by nasal endoscopy), detection of intranasal medullary hernia, liquor cysts and tumors as well as residual otoneurological symptoms consequent to meningitis, brain trauma, etc. In choice of surgical treatment the attention of the physician should be directed to concomitant intranasal hernias and liquor cysts, tumors, purulent sinusitis. Out of 70 LN cases residual symptoms of olfactory disorders were recorded in 35%, neurosensory hypoacusis in 30% of the cases. The best position of the patient and relevant facilities for identification of even minimal LN are described.

Inguinal hernias are common and cause problems for the health services. Several factors are thought to influence their development. Patients under 16 years old who had received hernioplasty at National Taiwan University Hospital were enrolled in a study to analyze the correlation between preceding recurrent cough with asthma and later hernia development. Patients aged 5 and 6 years old (when admitted for hernioplasty in 2000) were particularly focused. This entailed further analysis of their birth history, family atopic history, specific allergic diseases (allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, asthma), hernia type (direct or indirect), the onset of chronic cough and asthma. One hundred and sixty three patients (2.66%) from a total hernioplasty population of 6130 were found to have had preceding asthma with recurrent cough before having the hernioplasty intervention. One hundred twenty-five patients were aged 5 to 6 years old, among whom 8 (6.4%) patients were found to have asthma, and 20 (16%) patients were noted to have recurrent sustained cough. All the hernia types were indirect and were received with high suture ligation. In conclusion, the incidence of asthma was not significantly higher in the group of individuals receiving hernioplasty. However, a higher incidence of recurrent sustained cough was noted, which could be a relatively important factor for the hernia development. Further reliable cough measurements would be needed to evaluate the severity of recurrent sustained cough as the potential risk for the hernia development.
