Introducing the "ChOLE" Classification and Its Comparison to the EAONO/JOS Consensus Classification for Cholesteatoma Staging.

: Many previous attempts have been made to classify or categorize cholesteatomas. Recently, the European Academy of Otology and Neurotology and the Japanese Otological Society proposed a classification system based primarily on extension and complications. The European Academy of Otology and Neurotology/Japanese Otological Society consensus statement makes an effort to standardize reporting of surgical techniques.

Reversal of pulmonary hypertension in children after adenoidectomy or adenotonsillectomy.

Introduction: Adenotonsillar hypertrophy is a common condition in pediatric patients with upper respiratory airways complaints, and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) may be one complication of that condition.

Objectives: To study the occurrence of PAH (mean pulmonary artery pressure higher than or equal to 25 mmHg) in a group of children with adenotonsillar hypertrophy and upper respiratory complaints (snoring or oral breathing), and to verify the pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) changes after adenotonsillectomy.

Study Design: Case-control prospective study.
