Objective: To analyze clinical outcomes of delayed facial palsy after head trauma in the pediatric population.
Methods: A total of 45 pediatric cases with delayed facial palsy after head trauma were conservatively or surgically treated in our hospital between January 2009 and January 2015, and they were followed up for one year after the corresponding treatment. The clinical data were collected and the outcomes of facial nerve were analyzed.
Objective: To study variations in the labyrinthine segment of fallopian canal and the associated middle and inner ear malformations.
Method: The high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) images of the temporal bone in 24 patients with congenital variations in the labyrinthine segment of fallopian canal were analyzed retrospectively. The length of labyrinthine segment of the facial nerve and angle of the first genu of 10 normal subjects were also measured.
Objectives: To explore surgical timing of facial paralysis after temporal bone trauma.
Methods: The clinical data of the patients with facial paralysis after temporal bone trauma who underwent subtotal facial nerve decompression were retrospectively collected, and 80 cases followed-up for one year were enrolled in the study. They were divided into different subgroups according to the age, onset, and interval between facial paralysis and surgery, and the outcomes of facial nerve between different subgroups were compared.
Conclusions: Early diagnosis and treatment were critical to prevent recurrence, and the long-term outcomes were satisfactory after surgery and post-operative radiotherapy.
Objectives: To present outcomes of 18 cases with squamous cell carcinoma of the middle ear who underwent both surgery and post-operative radiotherapy.
Methods: Eighteen cases with squamous cell carcinoma of the middle ear (two cases of T1, five of T2, and 11 of T3) underwent surgery and post-operative radiotherapy, and a surgical approach was determined by tumour sites.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of nasal packing, septal suture technique and vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) after septoplasty.
Method: Ninety patients of nasal septal deviation in Combination with outfracture of the inferior turbinates who had received septoplasty were selected in this study. The patients were allocated into three groups, with thirty in each: for packing group, marcel materials were used for nasal packing after septoplasty; for suturing group, septal suture technique was performed after septoplasty; for VSD group, one drainage tube was used for negative pressure sucking after septoplasty without nasal packing.
