Article Synopsis
  • The review focuses on the importance of histopathological analysis of tissue samples in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) to enhance understanding and treatment options.
  • It highlights that the severity of CRSwNP correlates with factors like eosinophil levels in nasal polyps, and discusses ongoing debates over biopsy methods and sample locations.
  • A pragmatic checklist has been proposed by a panel of experts to standardize tissue analysis, improve communication among healthcare providers, and help identify CRSwNP subtypes for better-targeted therapies.

  • * The findings suggest a significant relationship between class III malocclusion and short lingual frenulums, supporting the hypothesis that tongue movement issues may contribute to certain dental problems.

Ankyloglossia has been related to craniofacial growth disturbances and dental malocclusion. But even though there is a clear biological plausibility for this hypothesis, available evidence is scarce.

Objectives: Anosmia/hyposomia have been described as early signs of COVID-19 infection in adults, including young asymptomatic patients who commonly refer olfactory disfunction as their only clinical manifestation. Very few studies involving paediatric age patients have been published until now. This study aims to determine the presence of olfactory dysfunction in children with COVID-19 infection through the use of a self-reported questionnaire and a new olfactory screening tool.

Extramedullary plasmacytoma of the larynx and localized laryngeal amyloidosis are two entities that are extremely rare in children. We report the case of an 11-year-old child presenting with progressive dysphonia, with a diagnosis of extramedullary plasmacytoma and localized laryngeal amyloidosis. The treatment he received and subsequent follow-up were compared with the few cases found in the literature.
