Pediatric Sinonasal Pleomorphic Adenoma: A Case Report.

While primarily observed in adults, this case contributes valuable insights into the manifestation and management of this benign salivary gland tumor within the pediatric population. This paper reports the first documented case of sinonasal pleomorphic adenoma in pediatric otolaryngology, presenting a unique perspective on this rare nasal tumor in a 9-year-old boy. The patient presented with progressive nasal obstruction and epistaxis and underwent a smooth endoscopic resection of a 2-cm pleomorphic adenoma on the right anterior nasal septum.

Allergic rhinitis facts from an Irish pediatric population.

Objective: Assessing the main allergens in the pediatric population from the largest urban area in the country.

Methods: Clinical letters of patients referred with possible allergic rhinitis (AR) were retrospectively reviewed over the past 5 years.

Results: Five hundred and fifty-five patients were included.

A comparison of ultrasound-guided aspiration with open surgical drainage in the management of pediatric acute suppurative cervical lymphadenitis.

Objectives: Image-guided aspiration has been proposed as an alternative to the traditional open drainage in acute suppurative cervical lymphadenitis, although little evidence comparing these approaches exists. The aim of this study was to compare ultrasound-guided aspiration and open surgical drainage in the management of pediatric acute suppurative cervical lymphadenitis.

Methods: Patients treated for acute suppurative cervical lymphadenitis at a tertiary referral pediatric hospital over a three-year period were retrospectively analyzed.

Concurrent management of suppurative intracranial complications of sinusitis and acute otitis media in children.

Objective: Intracranial complications of sinusitis and acute otitis media (AOM) are rare but life-threatening events. In children with suppurative intracranial complications, concurrent neurosurgical and otolaryngological (ORL) intervention has been recommended to optimize outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate outcomes following concurrent neurosurgical and ORL intervention.
