Burn injuries are very serious injuries. Their prognosis is markedly adversely affected by burns of the respiratory organs. ⋯ Fibroptic tracheobronchoscopy made not only documentation of findings on the respiratory organs possible, but due to its sparing character it makes also endobronchial treatment possible. Despite this the prognosis of these injuries is very poor, as apparent from an analysis of 36 patients hospitalized in 1981-1986 in the Centre for the Treatment of Burns in the Factory Institute for National Health in the East Slovakia Ironworks, which serves the entire Slovak territory; the patients were examined and treated in collaboration with the ENT department of the Factory Institute for National Health of the East Slovakian Ironworks.

[The importance of CT examination in the diagnosis and therapy of rhino-otogenic intracranial complications].
Computed tomography in the diagnosis of rhino-otogenic intracranial inflammatory complications made it possible to reduce significantly the morbidity and mortality. It provides more reliable information, than hitherto used pretentious and invasive methods, on the development of inflammatory foci, the dynamics of their development, localization and extent. ⋯ However, false negative findings may also be encountered. In those instances, with regard to the course and symptomatology of these complications, CT must be repeated or another diagnostic method must be selected.
