Pediatric Oncology Patients With Vincristine-Induced Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Palsy: Two Case Reports and a Brief Review of Literature.

Introduction: Vincristine (VCR) is a chemotherapeutic agent used widely in the treatment of hematologic and solid tumors, known to result in neurotoxicity, especially with cumulative administrations. Bilateral vocal fold palsy (VFP) is a rare but life-threatening complication of VCR. We report 2 patients with hepatoblastoma presenting with stridor following VCR treatment and propose a management plan.

The importance of sublingual gland removal in treatment of ranulas: A large retrospective study.

Purpose: Investigate the efficacy of sublingual gland removal for the treatment of simple and plunging ranulas.

Materials And Methods: After IRB approval, a retrospective review was performed on patients treated for a ranula from February 2013 to May 2018 at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, TX. Clinical data was collected from medical records and patients were contacted in November 2018 to obtain additional information about recurrences or complications.

Pediatric invasive fungal rhinosinusitis: An investigation of 17 patients.

Purpose: To investigate outcomes of pediatric patients at a single institution with invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (IFRS) and to determine variables that impact overall survival.

Methods: All pediatric patients at a large tertiary children's hospital diagnosed with IFRS confirmed by surgical pathology from 2009 to 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Demographics, underlying diseases, symptoms, antifungal therapy, absolute neutrophil count (ANC), surgical management,and outcomes were analyzed.

Historical patterns in presentations at the American Society of Pediatric Otolaryngology (ASPO): using a searchable database of the ASPO Program to show the trends of an otolaryngology subspecialty.

Objectives: To describe the development of American Society of Pediatric Otolaryngology (ASPO). To utilize a searchable database of meeting programs to demonstrate content presented at a major meeting since its inception.

Pediatric otogenic lateral sinus thrombosis: role of anticoagulation and surgery.

Objectives: 1. To discuss the presentation, work up, and treatment of a series pediatric patients presenting with acute otogenic lateral sinus thrombosis (OLST). 2.

Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing in children: feeding outcomes related to diagnostic groups and endoscopic findings.

Objective: Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) is used as an adjunct to assess swallowing function in children with complex feeding disorders. We report the feeding outcomes of patients who underwent FEES to determine whether associations exist between clinical diagnoses or FEES findings and feeding outcomes.

Methods: Retrospective review of children who underwent FEES for dysphagia or aspiration from 2003 to 2009.
