J Neurol Surg BDOI: 10.1055/s-0039-3400221 Introduction Meningiomas are among the most common primary intracranial tumors. While well-described, there is limited information on the outcomes and consequences following treatment of giant-sized vertex-based meningiomas. These meningiomas have specific risks and potential complications due to their size, location, and involvement with extracalvarial soft tissue and dural sinuses. Herein, we present four giant-sized vertex transosseous meningioma...

J Neurol Surg BDOI: 10.1055/s-0039-3400298 Objective The suprasellar space is a common location for intracranial lesions. The position of the optic chiasm (prefixed vs. postfixed) results in variable sizes of operative corridors and is thus important to identify when choosing a surgical approach to this region. In this study, we aim to identify relationships between suprasellar anatomy and external cranial metrics to guide in preoperative planning. Methods T2-weighted magnetic...

To the Editor As academic physicians with an interest in pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma, we read with great interest the article by McCrary et al characterizing malignant head and neck paragangliomas (HNPGLs). The authors used the paraganglioma cohort from an academic tertiary cancer center diagnosed between 1963 and 2018. They found that the prevalence of malignant HNPGLs was 6 of 70 (9%), with 5 of 6 patients carrying the succinate dehydrogenase subunit B (SDHB) mutation. They suggested that patients...

In Reply Sun and colleagues raise important points regarding primary hemorrhage, surgical technique, and nonopioid analgesics. Our decision to not examine primary hemorrhage in our study was driven by 2 considerations. First, primary hemorrhage occurs within 24 hours of surgery (eg, on the day of surgery or the day after). Therefore, any putative effect of perioperative opioid prescribing on the risk of primary hemorrhage (eg, by reducing the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs])...

In Reply We appreciate the feedback received from Jha et al regarding our article titled “Characterization of Malignant Head and Neck Paragangliomas at a Single Institution Across Multiple Decades.” This article describes our institutional experience with head and neck paragangliomas, with an emphasis on evaluating clinical outcomes among malignant head and neck paragangliomas. All of these patients with malignant head and neck paragangliomas were considered surgical candidates without known metastatic...

To the Editor Chua et al have put forward compelling evidence to suggest potential risk of constipation in children undergoing tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy after being prescribed opioid medications. However, we would like to suggest 2 further considerations that interested readers may find helpful to be included in the study.

Dementia, called the “greatest global challenge for health and social care in the 21st century,”(p2673) occurs in 47 million persons globally. This number is projected to triple by 2050. With no cure and no treatments to alter its natural history, public health prevention efforts are paramount. Hearing loss (HL) is a novel yet treatable risk factor for dementia. In the article by Golub and colleagues in this issue of JAMA Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery, the importance of understanding the...

Abstract Background The aim of study is to investigate the role of transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) on xerostomia‐induced inflammatory response in vivo. Methods Parotid, submandibular, and lingual gland were removed for xerostomia induction. The expression of inflammatory cytokines, TRPV1, NFkB, and MAPK in xerostomia was evaluated and compared in both TRPV1 wild and knockout mice. Results The level of interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) and IL‐17, neutrophil/CD4...
