Background: The incidence of pediatric thyroid cancer has been increasing, and care varies due to socioeconomic disparities or differing practice patterns. Clinical guidelines call for in multidisciplinary teams minimize variance provide protocols. Based on expert opinion, we hope describe the form function such programs. Methods: A modified Delphi method reach consensus statements over two rounds. Twenty-one experts with varying backgrounds responded each statement a 9-point Likert scale....
Background: The Streptococcus anginosus group (SAG) pathogens have the potential to cause head and neck space infections, including intracranial abscesses. Several centers noted an increase in abscesses children during SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, prompting a Centers for Disease Control Prevention health alert May 2022. We examined epidemiology of pediatric at tertiary care center with focus on SAG pre- post-pandemic. Methods: Cases any microbiologic etiology admitted from January 2011 December 2022...
Abstract Background The complex anatomy of the head and neck creates a formidable challenge for surgical reconstruction. However, good functional reconstruction plays vital role in quality life patients undergoing surgery. Precision medical treatment field surgery can greatly improve prognosis with tumors. In order to achieve better shape function, variety modern techniques have been introduced restoration defects. Digital technology has great potential applications clinical cancer because...
Objective: We present a case series of 25 pediatric patients who underwent maxillary and mandibular oncoplastic reconstruction at single institution. Further, we discussed the review literature underscored unique considerations for population. Methods: A retrospective chart undergoing and/or was performed from March 2015 to January 2022. Results: Thirteen reconstruction, 12 reconstruction. The mean age cohort 10.2 years, 9.8 years. range followed 6 months 18.8 All displayed satisfactory...
Background: There is a wide range of oral and maxillofacial tumors affecting pediatric patients that require surgical resection reconstruction. Maxillary mandibular microsurgical reconstruction following oncologic requires special attention in pediatrics because the difficulty to predict bony growth mid lower face, dentition, symmetry, donor site morbidity. Our purpose evaluate unique considerations create an algorithmic approach for optimized outcomes. Methods: A retrospective review who...
Abstract Background The Streptococcus anginosus group (SAG) pathogens (S. anginosus, S. intermedius, and constellatus) are oral flora with the potential to cause head neck space infections including brain abscesses. Several centers noted an increase in intracranial abscesses children SARS-CoV-2 era, prompting a CDC health alert May 2022. Notably, large proportion of such reported cases were associated SAG and/or sinusitis. We examined epidemiology pediatric focus on pre- post-pandemic...
Abstract This case report demonstrates the possibility of sarcoma biopsy needle track seeding from FNA/Core Needle Biopsy during workup a pediatric head and neck mass. Though not currently widely practiced in tumors, surgeons may consider placing tracks area planned resection for suspected malignancies as is more common approaches to extremity sarcoma.
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare hematopoietic disorder characterized by granuloma formation in various body systems, with corresponding variety of presenting symptoms. Head and neck disease accounts for ~60% pediatric LCH, temporal bone involvement 4–16% cases. Pediatric LCH typically presents mass, otorrhea, hearing loss. Vestibular symptoms are very at presentation more often related to central nervous system (CNS) extension or treatment effects. We present case isolated...
BACKGROUND & PURPOSE: Oncoplastic reconstruction of the maxilla is highly challenging given aesthetic and functional importance bone. When reconstructing post-ablative defects in children, reconstructive surgeons are also tasked with accounting for age-dependent differences skeletal morphology future growth. Presently, there a paucity outcomes data children adolescents undergoing that involve palate. The purpose this study to assess postoperative course pediatric patients who underwent...
