BACKGROUND: Upper respiratory tract infections usually peak during winter months. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether imaging of complicated upper airway infection in children increased during the winter season of 2022/2023. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a retrospective study setting, pediatric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scans for evaluation of upper respiratory tract infection performed between October 2022 and April 2023 were analyzed regarding presence of the following complications: mastoiditis, abscess, phlegmon, meningitis, reactive vasculitis, and sinus vein thrombosis...

Introduction: We aim to provide an overview of the clinical characteristics and treatment of pediatric acute mastoiditis (AM) and its complications in the prevaccinal pneumococcal period. Materials and methods: Retrospective case series. An analysis of pediatric patients with AM treated at a university tertiary care center from 2008 to 2018 was performed. Results: The research included 121 children, and 27.3% of them had some form of complication. The mean age at presentation of AM was 3.7 years (range = 0-18 years)...

OBJECTIVE: Otitis media with effusion (OME) is a common finding in pediatric cochlear implant(CI) candidates and may be managed by inserting ventilation tubes. This study aimed to compare postoperative complication rates in children who underwent CI without and with OME, including patients who were treated without and with ventilation tube insertion. METHODS: A population-based retrospective cohort study was conducted, including all CI patients, under ten years of age, at our institution, between 2007 and 2020...

UNLABELLED: Acute otitis media (AOM) is one of the most common ENT diseases in children. In the antibiotic/post-antibiotic era, facial paralysis is a very rare complication of AOM (0.004-0.005%). Despite the rarity of this complication, it should be known by all physicians for proper therapeutic management to avoid serious sequelae. The aim of this review is to provide a management guide based on the current literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifteen studies published between 2000 and 2022 were selected, including 120 patients (62 M/58 F) with an average age of 4...

BACKGROUND: The diagnostic process for children and adults manifesting a constellation of ectodermal abnormalities requires a conscientious and highly structured process. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Six girls (aged 6-month-8 years) and two older girls (aged 13 and 16 years) were born with variable skin lesions of varying intensities associated with noticeable cranial and skeletal malformation complexes. Cleft palate, abnormal dentition, and multiple papillomas were evident around the mouth, mostly bilateral but asymmetrical in the upper and lower limbs...

Mesenchymal spindle cell tumors with kinase fusions, often presenting in superficial or deep soft tissue locations, may rarely occur in bone. Herein, we describe the clinicopathologic and molecular data of eight bone tumors characterized by various kinase fusions from our files and incorporate the findings with the previously reported seven cases, mainly as single case reports. In the current series all but one of the patients were young children or teenagers, with an age range from newborn to 59 years (mean 19 years)...

BACKGROUND: Cochlear implantation (CI) in children with malformed ears can be challenging through the standard surgical technique. Several alternative approaches have been described. The endoscopic-assisted approach can be chosen as an effective and safe surgical technique, overcoming the drawbacks of the traditional approach. MATERIAL: We further describe a combined technique based on a limited mastoidectomy with no posterior tympanotomy and an endoscopic transmeatal approach to the round window (RW): the electrode is driven from the mastoid to the middle ear through the attic...

Ear, nose and throat (ENT) or upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) are the most common infections in children and the leading causes of antibiotic prescriptions. In most cases, these infections are due to (or are triggered by) viruses and even when bacterial species are implicated, recovery is usually spontaneous. The first imperative is to refrain from prescribing antibiotics in a large number of URTIs: common cold, most cases of sore throat, laryngitis, congestive otitis, and otitis media with effusion...

BACKGROUND: Acute mastoiditis (AM) is the most common complication of acute otitis media and primarily affects children under the age of two; current data on its prevalence in paediatric patients with cochlear implant (CI) are still scant. Proper management of AM in CI children is crucial in order to avoid the implications (financial and emotional) of an explant. Aim of this paper is to describe the cases of AM occurred among young patients with CI in follow up at our department, also in order to evaluate its prevalence, potential predisposing factors, clinical course and therapeutic strategies...

We report a case of a 5-year-old girl who came to Otolaryngology Outpatient Clinic of our hospital with the chief complaint of recurrent ear discharge which had started to appear since 3 years ago and had recurred every month despite repeated antibiotics and antifungals ear drops treatments, given by general practitioners and otolaryngologists. Gram staining, acid-fast staining and Mycobacterium tuberculosis culture examination from the discharge had never been conducted. There was a history of inadequate weight increment since she was 2 years old...

INTRODUCTION: Multifocal Langerhans' cell histocytosis is a rare condition that can affect multiple organs and manifest in various scenarios. While the condition is more commonly found in children, it can also occur in adults. CASE REPORT: A 43-year-old female presented with refractory otorrhea and had a rubbery neck mass in the left mid-cervical area, as well as an itchy eczematoid lesion in the left parietal area. The otic lesion was eventually resected, and histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of Langerhans histiocytosis...

Here, we focused on the association between minor suture fusion and Chiari malformation (CM) occurrence in nonsyndromic craniosynostosis (NSC), and evaluated how the minor suture affects the posterior cranial fossa by measuring the posterior fossa deflection angle (PFA). In this retrospective study, the clinical records of 137 patients who underwent surgery for NSC at Aichi Children's Health and Medical Center between April 2010 and May 2022 were analyzed. Clinical data from Aichi Developmental Disability Center Central Hospital was collected for 23 patients as the external validation set...

The aim of this study was to understand the mastoid volume development in children who undergo cochlear implantation surgery. Cochlear implant (CI) database of our clinic (Kuopio University Hospital) was reviewed for computed tomography (CT) images of CI patients (age under 12 years at the time of implantation) with a minimum time interval of twelve months between their pre- and postoperative CT. Eight patients (nine ears) were found eligible for inclusion. Three linear measurements were taken by using picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) software and the volume of the MACS was measured with Seg 3D software...

UNLABELLED: Unilateral lambdoid craniosynostosis is differentiated from deformational plagiocephaly primarily by assessing the cranium from posterior and bird's-eye views. Findings include posterior displacement of the ipsilateral ear, ipsilateral occipitomastoid bossing, ipsilateral occipitoparietal flattening, contralateral parietal bossing, and contralateral frontal bossing. Diagnosis based off facial morphology may be an easier approach because the face is less obstructed by hair and head-coverings, and can easily be assessed when supine...
