Purpose: Patients suffering from Ménière's disease (MD) experience vertigo, and impairments in hearing and quality of life (QoL). This study aims to investigate the impact of cochlear implantation (CI) on various aspects affecting patients with MD.
Methods: A single tertiary centre's CI database for CI recipients with MD between 2014 and 2022 was screened retrospectively.
Article Synopsis
- The review discusses current research and discussions in pediatric rhinology, focusing on the collaboration between otorhinolaryngologists and pediatricians.
- It covers congenital malformations like choanal atresia and nasal dermoid cysts, along with treatments for sinogenic orbital complications and chronic rhinosinusitis in children.
- Additionally, it updates on the ENT specialist's role in managing children with cystic fibrosis and primary ciliary dyskinesia.
Background: Various surgical techniques using transpalatinal, transseptal, and transnasal approaches for surgical repair of choanal atresia have been developed over the past 200 years. Endoscopic endonasal surgery with resection of dorsal septal parts and without the use of stents is the current scientific trend, as high success rates with low complication rates can be achieved. This study examined whether this technique has actually become standard in Germany, and also investigates the role played by stents.

The confrontation with the environment takes place in the growing sinus system, and the immune system is also developing. The inflammatory mechanisms differ to some extent from those of adult CRS patients.

- Walking on slopes can be tricky for everyone, even healthy adults, and this study looked at how children with cerebral palsy manage on inclines.
- Researchers wanted to find out how safe and stable these children feel when walking uphill or downhill.
- The results showed that children with cerebral palsy have a harder time pushing off and walking smoothly on steeper inclines compared to healthy kids, so they might need some help to walk better on slopes.
