Objectives: Describe the diagnosis and management of a spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leak (sCSF-L) through the facial nerve fallopian canal and determine the role of intracranial hypertension (IH).
Study Design: Retrospective case study and systematic review of the literature.
Methods: Reviewed patient characteristics, radiographic findings, and management of the facial nerve canal CSF leak and postoperative IH.
Objective: Military veterans have high rates of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) which is associated with more significant spiral ganglion neuronal loss. This study explores the relationship between NIHL and cochlear implant (CI) outcomes in veterans.
Study Design: Retrospective case series of veterans who underwent CI between 2019 and 2021.
Objective: No reported outcome measures have been established to evaluate sensor lead function in the hypoglossal nerve stimulator (HNS). This study describes the development of novel functional outcome measures for intraoperative sensor electrode function and compares 2-incision and 3-incision outcomes for HNS.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 100 consecutive patients who underwent HNS between June 2019 and September 2021.

Background: Anosmia and hyposmia significantly affect patients' quality of life and have many etiologies, including trauma, inflammatory conditions including chronic rhinosinusitis, neoplasm, and viral infections, such as rhinovirus and SARS-CoV-2.
Objective: Our purpose was to establish whether a consensus exists regarding optimal management of olfactory dysfunction and to provide insight into the treatment of anosmia in the current climate of increased prevalence secondary to COVID-19. Thus, we aimed to systematically review the literature on the management of non-Chronic-rhinosinusitis- related anosmia/hyposmia.
Background: Anosmia and hyposmia have many etiologies, including trauma, chronic sinusitis, neoplasms, and respiratory viral infections such as rhinovirus and SARS-CoV-2. We aimed to systematically review the literature on the diagnostic evaluation of anosmia/hyposmia.
Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases were searched for articles published since January 1990 using terms combined with Medical Subject Headings (MeSH).
