Desmoid-type fibromatosis of the head and neck in children: A changing situation.

Introduction: Desmoid-type fibromatosis (DF) is a rare benign lesion known for its local aggressiveness. The tumor management still remains under debate. Primary head and neck (HN), represents the second most prevalently affected sitein children with DF.

Association of bifid epiglottis and laryngeal web with Bardet-Biedl syndrome: A case report.

Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare autosomal-recessive disease characterized by rod-cone dystrophy, obesity, postaxial polydactyly, cognitive impairment, hypogonadism and renal abnormalities. Bifid epiglottis and anterior laryngeal web are rare congenital anomalies and are often constituent of polymalformation syndromes. We report a case of a 9-month-old patient initially referred in otolaryngology (ENT) for dysphonia and recurrent respiratory infections.

Information quality and dynamics of patients' interactions on tonsillectomy web resources.

Information technologies have drastically altered the way patients gather health-related information. By analysing web resources on tonsillectomy, we expose information quality and dynamics of patients' interactions in the online continuum. Readability was assessed using Flesch Reading Ease (FRE), Flesch Kincaid Grade Level (FKGL), Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG), and Gunning Fog Index (GFI).

Value of radiofrequency ablation in the management of retropharyngeal lymphatic malformation.

Lymphatic malformations are benign malformations frequently occurring in the head and neck. Retropharyngeal location is rare, can be life threating and its management is particularly challenging. Over a three-year period, three patients presented with symptomatic (dyspnea and/or dysphagia) retropharyngeal lymphatic malformation.
