The prevalence rates of such anatomic findings vary tremendously in the literature, part due to small, homogenous populations previously studied. Objective: To characterize sinonasal variants among ethnic groups and genders seen at an academic medical center. Methods: This is a retrospective cross-sectional study adult subjects who underwent CT imaging sinuses January 2019 November 2020 tertiary...
Introduction: Auricular reconstruction techniques most frequently utilize either autologous costal cartilage or alloplastic porous polyethylene (PPE) implant. Objectives: To compare the aesthetic outcomes, number of surgeries, and complications in children who underwent microtia with rib PPE implant by blinded photograph review. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included consecutive pediatric patients auricular between November 2017 February 2022. Blinded observers rated each...

Fibromatosis colli (FC) is a fibroblastic contracture of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, often presenting as neck mass and torticollis. The vast majority cases resolve with conservative measures; for persistent disease, surgical tenotomy offered. This case 4-year-old patient large FC who failed treatment well release ultimately underwent complete excision reconstruction innervated vastus lateralis free flap. We describe novel application this flap difficult clinical scenario. Laryngoscope,...
