Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
June 2024
Article Synopsis
- This scoping review aims to explore existing knowledge about gender differences in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and identify gaps in the literature regarding this topic.! -
- A systematic search yielded 23 relevant studies from over 523 abstracts, categorized into three main areas: presentation and baseline quality of life, pathophysiology, and treatment outcomes, revealing that women report a worse quality of life due to CRS compared to men.! -
- The findings suggest that while women experience a greater subjective burden from CRS, treatment outcomes are similar for both genders; however, more research is needed, particularly on the pathophysiology of CRS, to fully understand these differences.!

Objectives: To identify the differences in the impact of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) between female and male adolescent patients at presentation.
Study Design: Cross sectional study.
Methods: Adolescent patients, age 12 to 18 years old, presenting to our Otolaryngology clinic between August 2020 and April 2023 for CRS were asked to fill both the SNOT-22 and the SN5 forms.
Few studies have evaluated the association of recurrent acute rhinosinusitis (RARS) with other comorbidities. Allergic rhinitis, asthma, primary antibody deficiency, and autoimmune disorders are associated with RARS. Evaluation for these comorbidities should be considered when treating patients with RARS.

Study Design: Prospective cohort study.
Methods: All patients presenting to our otolaryngology clinic for nasal obstruction secondary to nasal septal deviation and/or inferior turbinate hypertrophy between August 2020 and June 2022 were asked to fill both the SNOT-22 and the NOSE questionnaires.
Objectives: Cochlear implantation (CI) is a safe and effective procedure for hearing rehabilitation, with few major complications. Device exposure or extrusion is a rare but major complication that often necessitates explantation due to wound dehiscence or infection. The objective of this report is to present a previously undescribed case in which the cochlear implant grounding wire extruded in 16-month-old patient 3 months post-operatively in the absence of trauma or infection.

Intra-parotid Botulinum toxin A may offer relief for these symptoms. There is no consensus on the optimal dosage, timing to symptom improvement, need for repeat injections, and safety of this treatment.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Methods: Retrospective chart review of adult (18 years and older) patients who were diagnosed with PID and had the diagnosis of recurrent acute rhinosinusitis (RARS) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and who are on IG replacement therapy.
