Introduction: Pain is the most important complication following tonsillectomy and pharyngeal palatine tonsil, and coupled palatine tonsils and throat. There isno enough investigation about antibiotic therapy on this complication. Furthermore, as there is no agreement in the use of antibiotic on pain complication, this investigation designed for finding of the efficacy of antibiotic therapy on pain complication consequent of tonsillectomy and adenotonsillectomy and its severity.
Method and Materials: This randomized clinical trial (RCT) study was carried out on 138 patients who were candidate for tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy. The patients according to systematic randomized divided into two equal groups; the first group as the intervention, received antibiotic and the other as the comparison received no antibiotic. Both the groups were compared in the variables such as: throat and ear pains, their severity, and patient's need to analgesic drugs after tonsillectomy and adenotonsillectomy. Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 13 and using chi-square, Fisher and Man-Withny tests and α

Background and purpose: Craniosynostosis is the premature fastening of skull sutures, mainly characterized by Apert syndrome and more often associated with syndactyly. This paper is intended to report a neonatal case of Apert syndrome associated with Dandy walker malformation, corpus callosum agenesis and pneumothorax simultaneously.
The patient: A female neonate was born in a teaching hospital in Birjand, Iran , who shoured, from birth, respiratory distress, skull malformation and syndactyly in hands and legs. Upon physical examinations, peripheral cyanosis, mild respiratory distress with a decrease in the lung sounds of the left side as well as syndactyly of all fingers and toes were obserrable. Left side pneumothorax was obserred in the chest X-ray; and partial synostosis was obrious in head X-ray. Also, skull Ct scan revealed cystic dilation in the fourth cerebral ventricle (Dandy walker malformation) and corpus callosum agenesis. Pneumothorax was treated using chest-tube insertion, and the patient was referred to neurosurgeon after being reliened from respiratoly distress.
Conclusion: Apert syndrome can occur simultaneously with Dandy walker malformation, corpus callosum agenesis and pueumothorax.
