J Neurol Surg BDOI: 10.1055/s-0039-3400297 Objectives Surgical treatment of Eagle's syndrome remains the mainstay of treatment. Palsy of the marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve is the most significant complication encountered in transcervical resections, due to direct compression during the approach. We proposed a modification of the craniocervical approach to the jugular foramen to resect the styloid process avoiding the marginal mandibular branch and subsequent palsy. ...

J Neurol Surg BDOI: 10.1055/s-0039-3400296 Introduction Dural venous sinus thrombosis (DVST) is a relatively understudied complication of vestibular schwannoma (VS) surgery. Several studies have examined this topic; however, there is limited data on the incidence, clinical progression, and proper management of this patient population. Methods A retrospective review was performed for patients undergoing surgery for VS at a single institution. All postoperative imaging was reviewed...

J Neurol Surg BDOI: 10.1055/s-0039-3400222 Object There is increasing interest in investigating the utility of 7 Tesla (7 T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for imaging of skull base tumors. The present study quantifies visualization of tumor features and adjacent skull base anatomy in a homogenous cohort of pituitary adenoma patients. Methods Eighteen pituitary adenoma patients were scanned at 7 T in this prospective study. All patients had reference standard-of-care clinical...

Kleefstra syndrome is a rare neurogenetic disorder caused by a subtelomeric 9q34.3 deletion or by an intragenic mutation of the euchromatin histone methyl transferase 1 gene (EHMT1). Approximately 20% to 30% of individuals have hearing loss. The left temporal bone of one subject with hearing loss was studied using light microscopy. There were several abnormalities including dysostosis of the stapes without fixation, enlarged vestibular aqueduct, anomalies of the organ of Corti in the basal turn,...

Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the sleep quality and sleep stability according to the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by using questionnaires and cardiopulmonary coupling (CPC) analysis. Methods Two hundred and twenty‐one adults were evaluated using subjective sleep questionnaires, CPC parameters, and respiratory parameters measured during full‐night polysomnography. We measured the differences in the CPC parameters of each OSA group and the correlation between the...

Objectives The role of traditional nuclear medicine studies in the management of malignant otitis externa (MOE) is unclear and there are ongoing debates regarding their diagnostic value. The authors perform a systematic review and meta‐analysis to assess the sensitivity and specificity of traditional nuclear medicine studies in the diagnosis of MOE. Methods In accordance with PRISMA guidelines, a query of the Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases was undertaken. The primary...

Objective: Regional variation in thyroid cancer incidence in Belgium, most pronounced for low risk cancer, was previously shown to be related to variation in clinical practice, with higher thyroid surgery rates and lower proportions of preoperative fine-needle aspiration (FNA) in regions with high thyroid cancer incidence (period 2004–2006). The objective of this study was to investigate regional thyroid cancer incidence variation in relation with variation in thyroid surgery threshold in a more...

Introduction: Serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) increases with age but target TSH is similar in younger and older hypothyroid patients on treatment. It is unknown if quality of life (QoL), hypothyroid symptoms and cardiovascular risk factors change in older hypothyroid patients treated to an age-appropriate reference range. Objective: To assess if a higher target serum TSH of 4.01–8.0 mU/L is feasible in, and acceptable to, older treated hypothyroid patients. Methods: A single-blind (participant)...

Abstract Objectives High definition laryngoscopy (HDL) could lead to better interpretation of the pharyngeal and laryngeal mucosa than regularly used fiberoptic laryngoscopy (FOL). The primary aim of this study is to quantify the diagnostic advantage of HDL over FOL in detecting mucosal anomalies in general, in differentiating malignant from benign lesions and in predicting specific histological entities. The secondary aim is to analyse image quality of both laryngoscopes. Design Retrospective...

Design A retrospective multicenter cohort study. Settings Four French ENT pediatric departments. Participants A total of 260 under 18 years old admitted for acute mastoiditis were included. Initial imaging was...

Abstract Pediatric neck masses are one of the common conditions presenting to the otorhinolaryngologist. This is retrospective study done on 136 children under the age of ten years presenting with neck masses to a tertiary referral hospital. A complete and adequate clinical assessment should be the basis for every diagnostic and therapeutic decision in children with neck masses Inflammatory neck masses in children were the commonest; followed by congenital masses.

Allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS) often develops in unilateral paranasal sinuses, which must be differentiated from tumors. When AFS develops on both sides, however, it must be differentiated from eosinophilic chronic sinusitis with evident eosinophilic infiltration at nasal/paranasal sinus mucosa; both conditions are highly recurrent and commonly considered intractable paranasal sinusitis. Surgical correction is the primary treatment method for AFS, as it is essential to connect the paranasal sinus...
