Objective: To evaluate audiological outcomes, quality of life, and complications in patients implanted with Active middle ear implants (AMEI). The secondary objective is to investigate the required duration after implantation to reach satisfactory outcomes.

Methods: This retrospective study included 31 patients implanted with Active middle ear implants (AMEI) with different methods of floating mass transducer attachment.

Background: Skin closure techniques in otolaryngology vary based on surgeon preference and wound site. Octyl-2-Cyanoacrylate may be a safe, rapid, and cost-effective option for post-site closure.

Aim: This randomized controlled trial study aimed to compare Octyl-2-Cyanoacrylate and conventional subcuticular sutures in ear surgeries, assessing wound closure results in both case and control groups.

Purpose: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated the surgical outcomes of type-1 tympanoplasty with and without gelfoam middle ear packing.

Methods: PubMed, CENTRAL, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases were screened from inception until October 2022. The included RCTs were evaluated for risk of bias, and the quality of each outcome was assessed according to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system.

This study aimed to validate the role of 3D segmentation in measuring the volume of the vestibular aqueduct (VAD), and the inner ear, and to study the correlation between VAD volume and VAD linear measurements at the midpoint and operculum. The correlation with other cochlear metrics was also studied. We retrospectively recruited 21 children (42 ears) diagnosed with Mondini dysplasia (MD) plus enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) from 2009 to 2021 and who underwent cochlear implantation (CI).

Objectives: The main aim of this study was to estimate the volume of the Scala Tympani (ST) of our pediatric cochlear implant (CI) recipients from the computed tomography (CT) images. Then, to study the association between ST volume and both demographic characteristics and cochlear parameters.

Methods: A retrospective study on the CT scans of pediatric CI patients at a tertiary referral CI center.

Purpose: Cochlear implantation (CI) has been considered a safe and effective management option for patients with severe to profound hearing loss. Patients with enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) could be challenging with some variations in surgical approaches, intraoperative surgical notes, and clinical outcomes. This study aimed to  review the surgical and clinical outcomes of cochlear implantation among patients with EVA.

The majority of thyroid lesions are primary in origin while secondary metastases to thyroid are considered a rare incidence. However, presentation of such cases with no signs of lung cancer can be extremely challenging to diagnose. Here, we present a 64-year-old man, an ex-smoker of 70 pack-years, who presented with a complaint of hoarseness of voice with associated dyspnea, choking episodes, weight loss, and hemoptysis.

Objectives To explore the clinical, pathological, and imaging characteristics of allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS) and to analyze the correlation of disease duration with imaging and histopathology findings. Methods We reviewed all cases of AFS managed at the otorhinolaryngology department of King Fahad Armed Forces Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Demographic and clinical features were collected, as well as imaging and histopathological findings, which were analyzed by time from onset.

Introduction The post-tonsillectomy pain can lead to a decrease in fluid and food intake, followed by dehydration, which can slow down the repair process and make pain control harder. Different groups of analgesics have their own side effects. Therefore, the consideration of non-pharmacological ways to control pain can be of great value such as ice cream and other cold drinks.
