Salvage Microsurgery Following Failed Primary Radiosurgery in Sporadic Vestibular Schwannoma.

Importance: Management of sporadic vestibular schwannoma with radiosurgery is becoming increasingly common globally; however, limited data currently characterize patient outcomes in the setting of microsurgical salvage for radiosurgical failure.

Objective: To describe the clinical outcomes of salvage microsurgery following failed primary stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) or fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) among patients with sporadic vestibular schwannoma.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This was a cohort study of adults (≥18 years old) with sporadic vestibular schwannoma who underwent salvage microsurgery following failed primary SRS/FSRT in 7 vestibular schwannoma treatment centers across the US and Norway.

An evidenced-based diagnostic tool for superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome.

Purpose: To construct a symptoms-based prediction tool to assess the likelihood of superior canal dehiscence (SSCD) on high-resolution CT.

Materials And Methods: Mathematical modeling was employed to predict radiologic evidence of SSCD at a tertiary neurotology referral center.

Results: A total of 168 patients were included, of which 118 had imaging-confirmed SSCD.

Does labyrinthectomy have an impact on hearing in the contralateral ear during long-term follow-up?

Objective: To quantify contralateral hearing outcomes after labyrinthectomy for unilateral Ménière's disease (MD).

Study Design: Retrospective case series.

Setting: Tertiary neurotology referral center.

Characterizing the most Popular Tinnitus Inquiries: Is Tinnitus Incidence on the Rise Since COVID-19?

Objective: Approximately 50 million US adults experience chronic tinnitus, yet search behaviors and topics of concern to these patients have not been investigated on a national level.

Study Design: Observational.

Setting: Online database and tertiary otology clinic.

Classifying and Standardizing Panfacial Trauma With a New Bony Facial Trauma Score.

Importance: The practice of facial trauma surgery would benefit from a useful quantitative scale that measures the extent of injury.

Objective: To develop a facial trauma scale that incorporates only reducible fractures and is able to be reliably communicated to health care professionals.

Design And Setting: A cadaveric tissue study was conducted from October 1 to 3, 2014.
