Objectives To examine whether simple mobility assessments can predict functional limitations and length of hospitalization after acoustic neuroma (AN) resection. Study design Prospective case series. Methods A prospective clinical study of adult patients undergoing AN resection by either the translabyrinthine, retrosigmoid, or middle fossa approach was conducted at a tertiary center. Preoperative mobility assessments included the functional gait assessment (FGA) and the 10‐m walk (10 MW)....

A 77‐year‐old male underwent open reduction and internal fixation with placement of odontoid screws after sustaining C1 arch and odontoid fractures in a fall 14 months prior to presentation to the laryngology clinic for combined surgery with orthopedics. Serial imaging after the initial surgery demonstrated loosening of a screw and its entry into the pharyngeal lumen. The patient reported odynophagia, dysphagia, and dysphonia. He reported taking small bites and using liquid assist, vocal fatigue,...

Objectives/Hypothesis To assess the evolution of laryngeal and extralaryngeal symptoms and findings of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) throughout a 3‐month to 9‐month treatment. Study Design Prospective Controlled Study. Methods One hundred twenty‐seven LPR patients and 123 healthy individuals were enrolled from four European hospitals. Patients were managed with a 3‐month personalized treatment considering the LPR characteristics at the impedance‐pH monitoring. Regarding the clinical...

Objective Understanding transgender voice is in nascent stages. This study describes voice characteristics in treatment‐seeking transwomen by comparing two validated questionnaires—Voice Handicap Index‐10 (VHI‐10) and Transsexual Voice Questionnaire (TVQMtF)—and reports incidence of abnormal stroboscopy findings and acoustic characteristics. Methods Retrospective review of transgender patients presenting to tertiary‐care laryngology center between February 2018–February 2019. Mean VHI‐10,...

Objectives/Hypothesis Standard spreader grafts (SSGs) are commonly used in septorhinoplasty to treat internal nasal valve narrowing and have been shown to improve nasal airway obstruction. Extended spreader grafts (ESGs) have also been proven effective for correcting nasal deviation. To date, the effectiveness of ESGs using patient‐reported outcome measures has not been demonstrated, and results of ESGs have not been compared to SSGs. This study aims to assess satisfaction and nasal appearance in...

A 63‐year‐old man presented with imbalance when coughing due to a respiratory tract infection. He had a history of multiple myeloma with a plasmacytoma of the left temporal bone. Examination revealed a positive leftward head impulse test, no spontaneous nystagmus, left‐beating positional nystagmus, and left‐beating Valsalva‐induced nystagmus. Videonystagmography, audiology, and comprehensive vestibular function tests revealed a subtotal left peripheral audio‐vestibular loss. Temporal bone computed...

Hypoglossal nerve stimulation for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea is an increasingly common procedure. The hypoglossal nerve is stimulated by an implanted pulse generator that is placed in a subcutaneous pocket in the upper chest over the pectoralis muscle. A pressure sensor is placed through a separate incision between two ribs to detect respiratory effort. This case reports an alternative implantation of the device and pressure sensor through a single shared incision lateral to the breast...

Anti‐IgLON5 disease is a newly discovered novel sleep disorder at the crossroads of neurology and immunology. In addition to the underlying sleep disorder, anti‐IgLON5 manifests with progressive aerodigestive symptoms such as dysphagia, stridor, and vocal cord paresis in 90% cases and may present to the otolaryngologist. Herein we present a case of a patient with anti‐IgLON5 disease who presented to the hospital with an acute airway including marked stridor and respiratory failure requiring intubation...

Objectives/Hypothesis A limited number of three‐dimensionally (3D)‐printed laryngeal simulators have been described in the literature, only one of which is specifically designed for percutaneous injection laryngoplasty (PIL) training and is currently of limited availability. This study describes the development and evaluation of a high‐fidelity, open‐source, low‐cost 3D‐printed simulator for PIL training, improving on existing models. Study Design Simulator design and survey evaluation. ...

Blue Light Laser Results in Less Vocal Fold Scarring Compared to KTP Laser in Normal Rat Vocal Folds
Objectives Preliminary investigations suggest that a novel blue light (BL) laser with a wavelength of 445 nm is comparable to the commonly utilized potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser (532 nm) for treatment of various laryngeal pathologies. The objective of the current study is to make a direct histological comparison of the degree of vocal fold scarring after either BL or KTP laser treatment in an animal model. Study Design This was a randomized controlled study using rats. Methods...

Introduction: Maternal TSH receptor antibodies (TRAbs) can cross the placenta and affect fetal and neonatal thyroid function. Maternal TSH receptor-blocking antibodies (TBAbs) are a rare cause of congenital hypothyroidism. Case Report: Following the discovery of a highly elevated TSH on her neonatal screening test, a 10-day-old girl with no familial history of thyroid disorder was referred to the pediatric endocrinology unit. Hypothyroidism was confirmed with a highly elevated TSH (817 mIU/L, reference...
