The diagnosis of large vestibular schwannomas (VS) with retained useful hearing has become increasingly common. Preservation of facial nerve (FN) function has improved using intraoperative EMG monitoring, hearing preservation remains challenging, with the recent use of cochlear nerve action potential (CNAP) monitoring. This prospective longitudinal series of VS with useful hearing operated on using a retrosigmoid approach included 37 patients with a mean largest extrameatal VS.

- The study investigates the prevalence of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) in patients with congenital mild to moderate hearing loss linked to deletions of the STRC gene (DFNB16).
- It was conducted as an observational study involving 64 patients, with 39% diagnosed with BPPV, and a median age of first symptoms being 13 years.
- The findings suggest a potential connection between BPPV and hearing loss associated with STRC gene deletions, highlighting the importance of informing patients about this risk for better management.
Introduction: Electrode array translocation is an unpredictable event with all types of arrays, even using a teleoperated robot in a clinical scenario. We aimed to compare the intracochlear trauma produced by the HiFocus™ Mid-Scala (MS) electrode array (Advanced Bionics, Valencia, CA, USA) using a teleoperated robot, with an automated robot connected to a navigation system to align the pre-curved tip of the electrode array with the coiling direction of the scala tympani (ST).
Methods: Fifteen freshly frozen temporal bones were implanted with the MS array using the RobOtol® (Collin, Bagneux, France).
Background: Decision-making for large sporadic vestibular schwannomas (VS) resection guided by the intraoperative change in supramaximal facial nerve (FN) amplitude and latency response to optimize post-operative FN outcome.
Methods: Prospectively study of 43 patients, from January to December 2018, of large sporadic VS with preoperative normal FN function at our center. Tumors were removed through retrosigmoid (81%) or translabyrinthine (19%) approaches with FN monitoring.
Introduction: To explore the prevalence of dysphonia in European patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 and the clinical features of dysphonic patients.
Methods: The clinical and epidemiological data of 702 patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 were collected from 19 European Hospitals. The following data were extracted: age, sex, ethnicity, tobacco consumption, comorbidities, general, and otolaryngological symptoms.
