3D printing as surgical planning and training in pediatric endoscopic skull base surgery - Systematic review and practical example.

Background: Pediatric endoscopic skull base surgery is challenging due to the intricate anatomy of the skull base and the presence of tumors with varied pathologies. The use of three-dimensional (3D) printing technologies in skull base surgeries has been found to be highly beneficial. A systematic review of the literature was performed to investigate the published studies that reported the effectiveness of 3D printing in pediatric endoscopic skull base surgery.

Vestibulo-ocular reflex assessed with Video Head Impulse Test in children with Vestibular Migraine: Our experience.

Unlabelled: Vestibular Migraine in children can mimic other disorders, especially at presentation. Outcome is hard to predict and management may be challenging due to the fact that many of the patients are too young to describe their symptoms and these are not always accompanied by headache.

Objective: To assess vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) in pediatric patients who meet criteria for defined Vestibular Migraine and to compare results to healthy controls.

Juvenile recurrent respiratory papillomatosis treated with combined erlotinib and celecoxib: Initial report.

Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a chronic disease caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). RRP is a clinical challenge because of the high recurrence rate, poor surgery response, extension to tracheobronchial tree and because of the risk of malignancy in some cases. There is no consensus on which adjuvant therapy is better for those patients with highly recurrent course.

Performance of endoscopic repair with endonasal flaps for congenital choanal atresia. A systematic review.

Endoscopic repair of congenital choanal atresia is the gold standard surgical treatment today. Though several controversies on treatment have been reported, surgical techniques for better outcomes are still in discussion. The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of endoscopic choanal atresia repair with endonasal flaps and no stents.
