    A Review of the literature on the voice disorders which have endocrinological causes was made.
    Hoarseness occurs in hypothyroidism, while a sort of asthenia of voice in hyperthyroidism. By hyper-parathyroidism, rarely aphonia can be produced, and in cases of acromegaly, discent of voice ranges and of pitch levels of speaking voice often take place.
    Virilization of female voice is seen not only in case of hyperfunction of the adrenal cortex, but as a kind of by-effect of androgenic substances on vocally normal women.
    Concerning the sex-glands, moreover, hoarseness which happens during pregnancy, voice changes in the menstruation, vocal alterations owing to castration, mutational voice disturbances and so forth were related.
    Causations of these phoniatric disorders were discussed in relation to the pathological changes found in larynges, and several interesting problems to be solved were pointed out.

    The author experienced 32 cases (37 ears) of sudden deafness and treated them with intravenous injection of consentrated sodium bicarbonate solution.
    Their symptoms and clinical examinations suggested more or less the existence of peripheral circulatory disturbances (angioneurosis) in the inner ear.
    In the cases which showed good recovery of hearing, the author observed following characteristics: 1) young men, 2) no signs of vestibular disturbance, 3) recruitment positive, 4) early stage of disease.

    A case of choristoma originating in the tongue which was histologically composed of bony and cartilage tissue was described.
    The patient was 50 year-old male with chief complain of a painless mass in the dorsum linguae which continously increased in size of 3 years duration.
    After the removal of this tumor being the size of large pea, the patient was healed completely. The choristoma arising from the dorsum linguae is rare and had not been reported in Japan. Then histological and embryological findings of this tumor were discussed.

    A case of fibroma of the hypopharynx was reported. The patient was a 35 year-old woman, whose chief complaint was hoarseness, swelling on the left side of the neck and slight difficulty in breathing.
    Mirror examination revealed a large tumor in the lateral wall of the hypopharynx.
    The tumor was removed by a technique of pharyngotomia lateralis. The mass was ovalshaped, considerably firm and its size was 4cm×3cm×2.5cm.
    Histological findings revealed the tumor was “fibroma durum”.

    We reported a case of chordoma which is one of the very rare diseases.
    The patient was 49 year-old man, who complained of swelligg of the right side of the soft palate. His X-ray film showed partial destruction of the right side of lower jaw angle and the round shadow in right lung which seemed to be the matastasis. But the certain diagnosis was decided only by pathohistological examination after the operation.

    A case of associated paralysis of the larynx caused by extravasated Thorotrast in the left cervical region is reported.
    The patient was 48 year-old man who had received Thorotrast injection for head trauma about 23 years ago, in the II World War. He complained of difficulty in swallowing, hoarseness and rhinolalia recently, and has observed IX, X. XI cerebral nerve paralysis, cervical tumor and slight cirrhosis of the liver.

    In the report on a procedure utilizing pedicle muscle flaps to obliterate the large mastoid cavity, direct visual and histological evidence is proved, which the muscle flaps become degenerated and finally absorbed. But the new posterior canal wall could be preserved even after the muscle flaps were absorbed.
    In all the cases included in the present check-up the final results are satisfactory, since all ears are dry and well epithelized within the time of observation.

    Stimulation of the sympathetic zones of the hypothalamus produced increase in the oxygen tension in the inner ear and it is seemed to be due to increase in blood pressure during stimulation. However the animals showed increase in the oxygen tension during stimulation of the parasympathetic zones, followed by decrease in it, although stimulation did not produce any increase in blood pressure.
    This paradoxical phenomenon was seemed to have been resolved by the study on permeability of the cochlea. Large amounts of trypan blue were injected intravenously to the animals during stimulation of the hypothalamus. Then the cochlea was examined under biocular microscope, revealing blue stain of the basilar membrane in all the animals in which the sympathetic or parasympathetic zones were stimulated. Probably increase in the oxygen tension during the stimulation of the hypothalamus would partially be due to increase in permeability of the basilar membrane.
    The cochlear microphonics was not revealed to be influenced by stimulation of any areas of the hypothalamus. The histological features of the cochlea after stimulation remained unchanged.
