A pyriform sinus fistula (PSF) is a rare congenital anomaly due to failed obliteration of the third or fourth pharyngeal pouch. Diagnosis and management of PSF remains controversial. We present a case of PSF and discuss its diagnosis and management.

Quantitative assessments of vestibular hair cells and Scarpa's ganglion cells were performed on temporal bones from 24 patients with well-documented Meniere's disease. Of these, 18 had unilateral disease and 6 had bilateral disease. Vestibular hair cell counts were made in each of the 5 sense organs by Nomarski (differential interference contrast) microscopy. Hair cell counts were expressed as densities: number of cells per 0.01 mm 2 surface area of the sensory epithelium. The results were compared with age- and sex-matched normal data. The type I hair cell densities for all vestibular sense organs were within the range for normative data. On the other hand, there was a significant loss (p &lt; .01) of type II hair cells for all 3 cristae and both maculae. There was also a significant loss of Scarpa's ganglion cells (p &lt; .001) when compared with normative data. The findings indicate a selective loss of type II hair cells and Scarpa's ganglion cells in Meniere's disease. These new observations have implications regarding the pathophysiological mechanism and clinical manifestations of Meniere's disease.

The stigma of a visually prominent facial scar following parotid surgery can be distressing to a young patient. The surgical technique of parotidectomy via a facelift incision is described and evaluated. Thirty patients with a benign lesion of the parotid gland underwent a partial superficial parotidectomy via a modified facelift incision. After operation, all patients had excellent cosmesis and complete function of the facial nerve. The facelift incision provides adequate exposure of the parotid gland for (partial) superficial parotidectomy. It can be offered as an alternative to a select group of patients who present with a small, mobile tumor in the tail of the parotid gland and an explicit request for an invisible postoperative scar.

The reach and impact of social media as it pertains to medical information among the parents and guardians of pediatric otolaryngology patients is unknown. This survey-based study investigates the use of social media as a source of medical knowledge in this population.

Background: Laryngeal carcinoma is not uncommon worldwide. We conducted this study to comprehensively compare the outcome of stapler versus conventional suturing in total laryngectomy primary or salvage. Patients and Methods: This is a retrospective study conducted in our tertiary institute from 2015 to 2022 involving patients diagnosed with laryngeal carcinoma who underwent total laryngectomy either primary or salvage. We divided patients into 4 groups: primary or salvage laryngectomy, closed with stapler or manual suturing. The reported outcomes included : operative time, length of hospital stay, start of oral feeding, incidence of pharyngocutaneous fistula, positivity of surgical margins, and surgical site infection. Patients with multiple comorbidities and those requiring a flap for pharyngeal closure were excluded . Results: A total of 91 patients were included in our study. Pharyngocutaneous fistula rate was 19% in conventional patient group in comparison to 6.7% in stapler group for primary total laryngectomy while it was 12.5% for salvage with stapler and 25% for salvage with conventional. Hospital stay was 6 ± 1.5 days for stapler and 11.4 ± 2.9 days for conventional suturing in primary laryngectomy. It was 8.8 ± 1.3 days for stapler and 13.1 ± 1.8 for conventional suturing in salvage laryngectomy. There was highly significant difference found as regard mean operative time, start of oral feeding and hospital stay in favor of stapler use. Conclusion: Stapler use in total laryngectomy is is a simple, fast, and effective technique with tension free watertight closure, better hemostasis, less contamination of surgical field than manual suturing

Parathyroid gland (PG) auto-transplantation is performed to preserve the function of de-vascularized or unintentionally removed PGs, however, little has been published about the technique and outcomes in children. In our study, we aimed to present the results of PG auto-transplantation in children undergoing thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy at a tertiary single institution. A retrospective review identified 14 patients (&lt;18 years of age) who underwent PG auto-transplantation from January 2000 to December 2022. 57.1% (8/14) had transient postoperative hypocalcemia and 14.3% (2/14) had permanent postoperative hypocalcemia. Eight patients had transient hypoparathyroidism, correlating with the rate of transient hypocalcemia. The most common reimplantation site was the sternocleidomastoid (11/14) and it was significantly associated with normalized calcium levels 6 months after auto-transplantation (p=0.033). Bilateral central neck dissection and surgical indication of cancer had a statistically significant association with transient hypocalcemia (p=0.03 and p=0.005, respectively). Our study provides valuable insights into the outcomes of PG auto-transplantation in pediatric patients, highlighting the potential for successful engraftment and factors associated with hypocalcemia.
