Meningitis and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak are serious complications of skull base surgery, but whether postoperative CSF increases the risk meningitis is unknown.To evaluate any association between after open or endoscopic resection.A retrospective case series with chart review in a tertiary care university-affiliated medical center.A total 156 patients underwent intradural tumor resection our institution 1994 2009, 135 (86%) via subcranial approach 21 (14%) through expanded endonasal...
Background We report an unusual case of a 66-year-old female with suspicious thoracic outlet mass presenting severe biochemical hyperparathyroidism and classic hypercalcemic symptoms renal bone involvement. Case Presentation There was clinical suspicion for parathyroid carcinoma, further supported by intra-operative findings. However, the final pathology described primary hyperceullar lesion pathognomonic changes secondary to fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy, along separate likely...
<h3>Importance</h3>Transnasal fiberoptic laryngoscopy (TFL) has been used to guide various in-office procedures for the past 3 decades. Publications on laryngeal biopsy have concurred that this procedure is safe, feasible, and easy perform. However, accuracy of via TFL not yet established. The aim study was examine issue.<h3>Objective</h3>To compare pathologic results obtained with those subsequent direct assess as a diagnostic tool.<h3>Design</h3>Prospective cohort...
Abstract Background The free fibula flap is commonly referred to as a “workhorse” for head and neck reconstruction. During our 21-year experience with this flap, we have performed several changes in preoperative planning, operative technique, postoperative follow-up. Patients Methods A retrospective cohort study designed analyze the of patients who underwent transfer Demographics, medical background, data, outcome were collected. follow-up assessed their impact on discussed. Results 1998...
To report our experience with combined one-stage double-team maxillary sinus floor elevation (SFE) and endonasal endoscopic surgery (ESS) procedure for concomitant inflammatory sinonasal pathologies.Clinical records of all patients that underwent SFE in conjunction ESS the treatment pathologies between 2011 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. All included had a sinonasal-related pathology was first suggested by referring physician later confirmed clinically radiographically team comprised...
To compare frontal sinus cranialization to obliteration for future prevention of secondary mucocele formation following open surgery benign lesions the sinus.Retrospective case series.Tertiary academic medical center.Sixty-nine patients operated pathology between 1994 and 2011.Open excision followed by either (n = 41, 59%) or 28, 41%).The prevalence post-surgical complications were compiled.Pathologies included osteoma 34, 49%), 27, 39%), fibrous dysplasia 6, 9%), encephalocele 2, 3%)....
Advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (CSCCHN) is associated with poor outcome despite multimodality therapy. Comprehensive risk stratification may pinpoint most suitable adjuvant treatment. This study aimed to evaluate outcomes surgically treated locoregional CSCCHN identify prognostic indicators treatment outcomes.We retrospectively analyzed disease variables, pathologic characteristics, management in association all consecutive advanced patients who underwent...
Objectives/Hypothesis To describe the histopathology of invasion patterns advanced‐stage external auditory canal (EAC) squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Methods analysis medical records patients diagnosed with EAC SCC available at Massachusetts Eye and Ear temporal bone (TB) collection. TBs underwent processing for histologic examination. Hematoxylin eosin–stained slides were examined. Histologic findings compared to premortem clinical data. Results Nine...
Inferior turbinate hypertrophy (ITH) and nasal septum deviation are leading causes of chronic obstruction. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) hypertrophic inferior turbinates is effective for improving quality life (QOL). We aim to assess QOL among patients with obstruction associated ITH major deviated septum.A prospective cohort study comparing the difference in improved without septal following RFA treatment between March 2016 June 2019. The formed two groups according their grade deviation....
Objective To investigate the circannual rhythm (seasonal incidence) of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL). Methods Data were retrieved from medical files an original cohort all consecutive patients with ISSNHL in a tertiary center between 2012 and 2020. A systematic literature search “MEDLINE” via “PubMed,” “Embase,” “Web Science” on comparable published cases was performed. Google Trends analysis term [sudden loss] related terms 2014 2020 also Results Most series (9/12)...
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has been suggested as a surrogate biomarker for early detection of cancer recurrence. We aimed to explore the utility ctDNA noninvasive prognostic in newly diagnosed head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients. Seventy HNSCC specimens were analysed TP53 genetic alterations utilizing next-generation sequencing (NGS). mutations revealed 55 (79%). Upon significant mutation, circulating cell-free was scrutinized presence tumor-specific mutation....
Objective Reconstruction after open surgery of anterior skull base lesions is challenging. The fascia lata graft our workhorse for achieving dural sealing and preventing cerebrospinal fluid leak meningitis. This study seeks to analyze the donor recipient site complication rates reconstruction. Methods a retrospective review all operations in which double-layer was used reconstruction defect from 2000 2016 at Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, tertiary referral center Israel.

Abstract Objective To revisit the current age criterion (50 years) for surgical candidacy in patients diagnosed with asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Study Design A predictive model relying on past publications using electronic databases “PubMed,” “Embase,” “Medline,” and “Google Scholar.” Setting Hypothetical large cohort. Methods Markov was constructed, based relevant literature, to compare 2 potential treatment algorithms PHPT patients, parathyroidectomy (PTX),...
