Objective: Paediatric vestibular and balance services have recently gained attention across the globe. We present our one-year experience exploring the aetiology of paediatric vestibular disorders in a recently established Paediatric vestibular and balance clinic.
Methods: Children and adolescents under 18 referred to the Paediatric Vestibular and Balance Clinic for evaluation were included.
Article Synopsis
- A bronchogenic cyst is a type of abnormal growth that happens from the trachea and bronchi, which are the tubes that help you breathe.
- It's not common for these cysts to be found in the neck area, but a girl had a painless bump there.
- Doctors thought it was a different kind of cyst at first, but later checks showed it was actually a bronchogenic cyst, so doctors need to remember this when looking at neck lumps in kids.
Audiovestibular symptoms following COVID-19 have been long acknowledged, especially in adults. However, acute labyrinthitis presenting as an early manifestation of COVID-19 has not been reported in children. We report COVID-19-induced acute labyrinthitis in a teenager.

Background: Airway obstruction in a child requires expedite management in addition to comprehensive discussion between the Otolaryngology and Anaesthesiology team to formulate a treatment plan to ensure safe airway. Juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JORRP) is an exophytic benign laryngeal lesion which poses a great challenge when presented with respiratory distress.
Objective: This paper presents a novel, safe and cost-effective approach to temporary tracheal ventilation of the obstructed airway in a child with juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis using the laryngeal suction tube connected to general anaesthetic (GA) machine.
