The value of Gallium-DOTATATE PET/CT in sinonasal neuroendocrine tumor management: A case series.

Background: Gallium-DOTATATE ( Ga-DOTATATE) is a somatostatin analog used as a PET tracer to successfully identify neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Due to the rarity of sinonasal NETs, there are few recommendations for Ga-DOTATATE imaging in these patients.

Methods: We discussed the impact of Ga-DOTATATE imaging on the management of six sinonasal NET cases and reviewed existing literature.

Virtual Reality as Distraction Analgesia and Anxiolysis for Pediatric Otolaryngology Procedures.

Objectives/hypothesis: While virtual reality (VR) has been used as analgesia and anxiolysis for invasive procedures, no literature exists on the use of VR in the pediatric otolaryngology setting. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of VR in reducing pain and anxiety for pediatric otolaryngology patients.

Study Design: Randomized controlled trial.
