Neck Cysts
A neck cyst typically originates from blocked glands or ducts within the neck. These cysts are often benign and may develop due to infections, congenital conditions, or inflammatory processes. Symptoms commonly include a painless lump in the neck that may gradually increase in size, discomfort, or difficulty swallowing or breathing if the cyst grows large enough to compress nearby structures. Diagnosis involves a physical examination and imaging studies such as ultrasound or CT scan to assess the cyst's size and location. Treatment options vary depending on the cyst's characteristics but may include drainage through needle aspiration or surgical removal if the cyst is large, recurrent, or causing symptoms. We prioritize minimally invasive techniques where possible to ensure optimal outcomes and patient comfort, providing comprehensive care tailored to individual needs
Neck Growth / Cancer
Neck growths or cancers encompass a spectrum of conditions that require precise diagnosis and tailored treatment. Causes can vary and include exposure to risk factors such as tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and certain viral infections like HPV. Symptoms often manifest as persistent neck lumps or swelling, difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, and unexplained weight loss. Diagnosis typically involves a combination of physical examination, imaging tests (like CT scans or MRI), and biopsy to determine the nature and extent of the growth or cancer. Treatment strategies vary based on the type and stage of the cancer but commonly include surgery to remove the affected tissue, radiation therapy to target remaining cancer cells, and sometimes chemotherapy or targeted therapies. We emphasize on personalized care and comprehensive management, working closely with oncologists and other specialists to optimize outcomes and support patients through their treatment journey.
Thyroid Nodules / Cancer
Thyroid nodules and cancer are conditions we are adept at managing. Nodules, often benign, can form due to various factors such as iodine deficiency, autoimmune diseases, or genetic predisposition. Symptoms are often subtle or absent, though larger nodules may cause neck discomfort or difficulty swallowing. When evaluating nodules, ultrasound and biopsy are utilised to determine if cancer is present. Treatment ranges from monitoring benign nodules to surgical removal for suspicious or cancerous growths. For thyroid cancer, surgery, radioactive iodine therapy, and hormone therapy are standard treatments. Our clinic provides expert care, ensuring precise diagnosis and personalized treatment plans tailored to your needs.
Skull Base Surgery
The skull base is a complex area where various structures converge, including nerves, blood vessels, and the brain's lower portion. Conditions affecting the skull base can arise from tumors (both benign and malignant), infections, trauma, or congenital abnormalities. Symptoms may include headaches, visual disturbances, hearing loss, facial numbness, or difficulties with balance and coordination. Diagnosis often involves advanced imaging techniques like MRI or CT scans to assess the extent and nature of the condition. Treatment plans are highly individualized and may encompass a combination of surgical intervention, radiation therapy, and medical management tailored to each patient's specific needs and the characteristics of the skull base condition. At our ENT clinic, we prioritize comprehensive care, utilizing cutting-edge technologies to ensure optimal outcomes and patient comfort throughout treatment.
