The safety and efficacy of spray cryotherapy after endoscopic sinus surgery in chronic rhinosinusitis: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a condition that affects 5-12% of the general population. Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is the preferred treatment because of its few adverse effects and highest success rates. The most common post-operative consequences include synechia, nasal blockage, and disease recurrence.

Metastatic sigmoid adenocarcinoma to the larynx: A case report and updated literature review.

Metastatic laryngeal cancer is a rare entity, usually indicating an advanced disease once discovered. In this report, we are describing a case of a 60-year-old male patient with stage IV colorectal cancer (CRC), who presented to our clinic with dysphonia; further workups showed metastatic CRC.

Reliability of high-resolution CT scan in diagnosis of ossicular tympanosclerosis.

Objectives: To evaluate the reliability of high-resolution CT scans (HRCT scans) in the diagnosis of tympanosclerosis and to determine its benefit to predict the post-surgical hearing outcome based on comparing radiological and surgical findings.

Methods: A retrospective study at a tertiary institute included 940 ears that underwent tyampanoplasty for chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) between January 2013 and March 2017. Preoperative temporal bone HRCT scans were analyzed to check for the prediction of tympanosclerosis and ossicular fixation.

Atypical IgG4-related disease limited to the sino-nasal cavity: A case report.

Given the overlapping clinical features of sino-nasal immunoglobulin 4-related disease (IgG4-RD) to rhinitis or rhinosinusitis, this paper aims to delineate this rare, isolated manifestation significant to physicians for their daily practice and researchers contributing to this field.

Glottic Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Pleomorphic sarcoma of the larynx is a rare variant of laryngeal cancer. We present the case of a 59-year-old male patient who has been smoking for 40 years. He presented with signs and symptoms of an obstructive glottic mass.

Nasal-alar invasive cutaneous aspergillosis in a patient with anaplastic astrocytoma: A case report.

Invasive aspergillosis is commonly encountered in immunosuppressed patients either primarily through direct inoculation or secondary from blood dissemination. This report describes a case of 53 years old immunocompromised female patient who was diagnosed with frontotemporal anaplastic astrocytoma and developed nasal skin lesion turned to be invasive cutaneous aspergillosis.

An unusual presentation of pleomorphic adenoma in a patient with thalassemia: A case report.

We report the first case of spontaneous infarction occurring in pleomorphic adenoma located in infratemporal fossa mimicking parapharyngeal abscess, including clinical presentation, workups, and surgical approach. The final diagnosis was confirmed on a histological basis. The combination of CT scan and MRI might be helpful in distinguishing neoplasia from abscess collection in this area.
