Purpose: Bilateral vocal fold paralysis (BVFP) is a critical condition in newborns, which may present with significant airway distress necessitating tracheostomy. The purpose of this study is to report the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic percutaneous suture lateralization (EPSL) for newborns with BVFP, and evaluated the long-term results and the stability of the lateralization.

Methods: A review of patients undergoing EPSL for BVFP at our institutions was performed between October 2018 and June 2023.

BACKGROUND Castleman's disease (CD) is a reactive lymph node hyperplasia initially identified by Castleman in 1956. CD predominantly affects individuals 20-50 years of age, with low incidence in children. This case report describes 3 cases of CD treated in our hospital and reviews the relevant literature.

Article Synopsis
  • An 11-year-old boy presented with worsening snoring and shortness of breath, prompting medical evaluation for suspected airway obstruction.
  • Preoperative tests revealed significant sleep apnea and a concerning drop in blood oxygen levels, alongside imaging that indicated a space-occupying lesion in the throat.
  • The boy underwent successful surgery to remove the mass, which was diagnosed as a lymphatic malformation (LM), and his recovery was positive.

The Castleman Disease (CD), also recognized as giant lymph node hyperplasia or vascular follicular lymphoid hyperplasia, is an infrequent lymphoproliferative disorder with substantial clinical variability. Parapharyngeal location of this disease is very rare and in pediatric population it is even rarer. This article presents a case of Unicentric CD (hyaline vascular type) in an 8-year-old female, where the disease was localized within the parapharyngeal space.

Purpose: This study aimed to conduct a meta-analysis and systematic review of drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) in pediatric conventional obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) without previous upper airway surgery, or comorbidity, to evaluate the change in treatment strategies and to identify obstructive sites observed during DISE. This study aimed to explore the role of DISE in the management of pediatric conventional OSAHS.

Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted using both computerized and manual methods to retrieve relevant case studies on DISE-guided treatment of pediatric conventional OSAHS from databases including PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, WF, and VIP database.

Background: Foreign body aspiration into the trachea is a common occurrence in children. While most foreign bodies in the airways can be removed using rigid tracheoscopy, there are instances where tracheostomy or tracheotomy is needed. This article presents a series of cases in which tracheostomy was necessary to remove foreign bodies, and summarizes the relevant experiences and lessons learned.

Purpose: China adjusted and optimized its prevention and control strategies in December 2022, and it entered a new era of the coronavirus epidemic. Here, we describe the general and otolaryngology-related symptoms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in children during the first pandemic in the post-epidemic era, focusing on the frequency and severity of smell and taste loss, as well as the recovery process and its influencing factors.

Patients And Methods: From 2 January to 7 January 2023, we conducted a cross-sectional online questionnaire survey through Questionnaire Stars in order to collect relevant information about COVID-19 in children in Shenzhen.

Objective: Incomplete Kawasaki disease (IKD) initially presenting as retropharyngeal abnormality is very rare and is prone to misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis, often leading to poor prognosis. Most patients were misdiagnosed with retropharyngeal abscesses. Here, we describe and compare IKD patients initially presenting with retropharyngeal abnormalities, typical KD patients without retropharyngeal abnormalities and retropharyngeal abscess patients.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of CO2 laser supraglottoplasty for severe laryngomalacia in infants.

Methods: From January 2009 to December 2011, 32 infants with severe laryngomalacia were confirmed by electronic laryngoscope and clinical assessment in Shenzhen Children's Hospital. According to the choice made by the parents, 16 children accepted CO2 laser supraglottoplasty (group 1), the others were treated conservatively (group 2).

Article Synopsis
  • Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA), like CCAT1, play important roles in gene expression and cancer progression, but their mechanisms are not fully understood.
  • The study tested a CCAT1-specific peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probe for detecting colorectal cancer (CRC) in various samples, showing strong fluorescence and cell uptake.
  • Results indicated that the TO-PNA-MB probe can effectively identify CCAT1 in human CRC specimens, suggesting its potential for real-time imaging and distinguishing between benign and malignant tumors during surgery.

Objective: To evaluate the incidence of postoperative hemorrhage in children undergoing adenoidectomy, and to discuss its possible causes.

Methods: Included in this study were children who underwent adenoid and/or tonsil surgery at Shenzhen Children's Hospital between January 2004 and November 2009. The change of hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct) were retrospectively analysed.
