Salivary gland choristoma is an extremely rare middle ear mass and is hypothesized to be caused by second branchial arch developmental anomalies. We present a 14-year-old girl with Dandy–Walker syndrome and conductive hearing loss. Middle ear exploration revealed a large middle ear mass with absent incus and stapes and displaced facial nerve. The mass was completely excised with histological confirmation of salivary gland choristoma. Her hearing was improved with bone-anchored hearing aids (BAHA)....

Abstract This viewpoint considers four cutaneous unmet clinical needs of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) namely: the rapidly progressive skin thickening (scleroderma) which occurs early on in diffuse cutaneous disease; digital (finger and toe) ulcers; calcinosis; and cutaneous telangiectases. All four problems cause pain, disability, and/or disfigurement, all impact on quality of life, and for each we require effective treatments. For each unmet need we give a brief description of the clinical...

Abstract Background In locally advanced sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC), management of the clinically node‐negative (cN0) neck is variable and elective neck dissection (END) remains controversial. Methods Patients with surgically treated T3/T4 cN0 M0 SNSCC were identified using the NCDB. Overall survival (OS) was assessed by Cox proportional hazard analysis in propensity score‐matched cohorts. Factors associated with END were evaluated with logistic regression. Results Two...

J Neurol Surg B Skull BaseDOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1713894Orbital tumors are rare lesions comprising 0.1% of all tumors and less than 20% of all ocular diseases. These lesions in children and adults differ significantly in their incidence, tumor type, and treatment management. Although surgery and systemic therapies are commonly used in the management of these diseases, radiation therapy has become a widely used treatment for both benign and malignant tumors of the orbit. Radiotherapy is used as a definitive...

J Neurol Surg B Skull BaseDOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1713935Orbital schwannomas are rare neoplasms of the orbit. The presenting symptoms are often nonspecific. Classic imaging characteristics seen on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and orbital ultrasound can be useful to help aid in the diagnosis of orbital schwannoma. When diagnosed, the goal of treatment is complete surgical excision. The location of the tumor within the orbit dictates which surgical approach would provide the best exposure. When complete...

J Neurol Surg B Skull BaseDOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1713900Endoscopic surgery of the orbit, periorbital region, and adjacent areas of the anterior and middle cranial fossae and brain has gained significant popularity over the last decade. These procedures are now being used at multiple institutions internationally with a success and safety record that has been demonstrated to be at par with or better than other techniques. The approaches provide minimally disruptive, scarless access to regions that previously...

J Neurol Surg B Skull BaseDOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1713931Advances in skull base and orbital surgery have led to an increased need to understand the anatomy of the orbit and surrounding structures to safely perform surgeries in this area. The purpose of this article is to review the surrounding anatomy of the orbit from a practical and operative point of view. We describe the orbit from an inferomedial endoscopic endonasal perspective (focusing on its inferior relationship with the maxillary sinus and...

Objective Identification of undefined risk factors will be crucial for the development of therapeutic strategies in hearing impairment. Platelets are likely to affect the development of sudden sensorineural hearing loss, which is a primary risk factor for permanent hearing impairment. This implies that abnormal platelets might contribute to long‐term hearing loss. This study investigated the role of platelets in the development of hearing impairment over a 5‐year period. Methods This study...
