Endoscopic surgery under tubeless anesthesia and spontaneous breathing for a congenital laryngeal web in an infant: A case report.

Congenital laryngeal webs are rare and are defined as thick epithelium-covered fibrous tissue lying between the vocal folds; the anterior glottis is the most common site of involvement, with possible extension to the subglottic region. The association with chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome has also been reported.

Unilateral silent sinus syndrome: A case report.

Silent sinus syndrome (SSS) is a rare clinical condition, commonly unilateral, secondary to the obstruction of the osteomeatal complex, subsequent negative pressure in the maxillary sinus, and collapse of the orbit floor and sinus walls. We describe a case of unilateral SSS treated by means of functional endoscopic sinus surgery.

Upper Eyelid Retraction in Graves' Ophthalmopathy: Our Surgical Experience on 153 Cases of Full-Thickness Anterior Blepharotomy with Mullerectomy.

Background: We present our experience on 153 cases of full-thickness anterior blepharotomy with mullerectomy (FTABM) in the treatment of upper eyelid retraction (UER) related to Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO).

Methods: We included all the patients who underwent a graded FTABM between 1 January 2015 and 30 June 2020 for UER GO-related. The analysis included: pre-/post-operative conjunctival symptoms, epiphora, GO-Quality of Life Questionnaire (QoL), lagophthalmos, marginal reflex distance (MRD-1) index, eyelid symmetry within 1mm.

Surgical treatment of a congenital dacryocystocele by means of microdebrider marsupialization in a newborn.

Congenital dacryocystocele is a rare clinical condition, more commonly unilateral, secondary to the defective canalization of the nasolacrimal duct. In case of failure of conservative treatment, surgical marsupialization is recommended. We describe the case of a 40-day-old male newborn treated by means of microdebrider marsupialization.
