Collaborative Approach for Patient Management: Parapharyngeal Metastasis of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma

Mengqi Yuan and Aneesh Kumar

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: March 31, 2023

A collaborative approach is important in the management of patients, in order to facilitate discussion, and allow cross-checking, in order to achieve the optimal outcome for patient care. Here we present a case, where a collaborative approach allowed the pre-operative identification of an unusual site of metastasis for recurrent papillary thyroid cancer, leading to the change of treatment plan....

Eye Movements Induced by Stimulation of the Utricle

Hiroaki Ichijo, MD, PhD

Article Type: Research Article | First Published: February 28, 2023

Pathophysiology of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is canalolithiasis in the semicircular canal. The principle of Epley maneuver is moving debris from a long arm to the utricle, therefore debris stimulates the utricular macula in the sitting position after the treatment. To clarify the characteristics of eye movements evoked by the stimulation of unilateral macula of the utricle....

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: February 23, 2023

Pasteurella multocida, a gram-negative coccobacillus, part of the normal oral flora of many domestic and wild mammals, has been described a widespread veterinary pathogen and has the potential to cause zoonotic infections in humans resulting from injuries caused by household or wild pets. Skin and soft tissue infections following a cat or dog bite are the more common manifestations of human infection. Salivary gland infections are somewhat common and viral infections, such as mumps, and bacteria...

Long COVID and COVID-Induced Ménière’s Disease: Overview and Recommendations

Elizabeth S England-Kennedy, PhD, MPH, CHES and Mahmoud Abdelfatah, BPS, MBA, FPGEE

Article Type: Literature Review | First Published: January 29, 2023

SARS-CoV-2, the infectious agent causing the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, often has long-term impacts on the health of those who survive initial infection and can lead to premature death. An understudied outcome of COVID-19 is its effect on the audiovestibular system. Impacts of the virus on this system create a pattern of disability similar to that of Ménière’s Disease (MD), a progressively degenerative condition that can cause severe falls and deafness. COVID-induced MD (CMD) impacts physica...

Combining Artificial Intelligence and Automatic Analysis to Study of the Closure Characteristics of Healthy Human Vocal Cords during Phonation Using Synchronous Electroglottography and Laryngeal High-Speed Videoendoscopy

Wang Xi, Xuan Jiacheng, Zhao Caidan, Zhuang Peiyun and Huang Lianfen

Article Type: Original Research | First Published: January 09, 2023

To use an artificial intelligence neural network to automatically analyze images from high-speed videoendoscopy and synchronous electroglottographic signals in healthy vocal folds to obtain the accurate glottal opening and closing instants in the glottal cycle. This method will be compared to the traditional electroglottography point derivation method to explore the glottal opening and closing characteristics of the vocal folds and better interpret the opening and closing instances of the electr...

Earmold Impression Material Foreign Body in the Middle Ear as a Hearing Aid Impression Complication: A Case Report

Hawa SK, MD, SK Azura, B. Audiology, Halimahtun SS, MS ORL-HNS, Noorizan Y, MS ORL-HNS and Khir MA, MS ORL-HNS

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: August 19, 2022

Hearing aid is an electronic device fitted to the ear and designed to amplify and deliver sound to the ear. Upon fitting a hearing aid, patients are required to make an earmold impression material for device fixation based on patient’s personal preference, the shape and texture of the ear. Complications while making an earmold for hearing aids are rare but during this process, the impression material can be accidentally entered in the middle ear through a perforation on the tympanic membrane.....

Kaitlin I McArthur, BS, Ethan Miles, BS, Hector Perez, MD and Kenneth De Los Reyes, MD

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: May 11, 2022

Here we report on a rare case of a retrochiasmic craniopharyngioma that required a two stage surgical resection to achieve near total resection. The pterionalorbital approach was chosen for initial resection, given the small size of the sinus corridor on imaging, but due to fear of damaging local structures complete resection was not achieved. The patient returned to the operating room 12 days following the first surgery for a combined neurosurgeryotolaryngology approach for endonasal endoscopic...

Article Type: Research Article | First Published: April 07, 2022

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a well-known heterogeneous disorder due to its potentially infectious status along with long-term inflammation of the nose, paranasal sinuses, and lining of the nasal passages, which lasts for 12 consecutive weeks or longer. Although the definite pathophysiological mechanism is not clear, recent studies have postulated bacterial infections with biofilm or fungal colonization as the pathophysiological mechanisms. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a critical public he...
