A Patient with Severe Cervicofacial Subcutaneous Emphysema Associated with Munchausen's Syndrome: A Case Report.

Subcutaneous cervicofacial emphysema is a rare and life-threatening condition that results from various causes. In this report, we documented a case of a patient with severe subcutaneous cervicofacial emphysema a condition that falls under the umbrella of Munchausen's syndrome and discussed the workup of this patient. Thorough diagnostic investigations seeking the etiology of the condition proved unsuccessful.

Impact of Allergic Rhinitis on Voice in Children.

Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to determine the possible effect of allergic rhinitis (AR) on voice change in children with acoustic analysis and Turkish children's voice handicap index-10 (TR-CVHI-10).

Methods: This is a case-control study. Forty-one children with AR, and a positive skin prick test, as well as 39 children of controls who had produced a negative skin prick test and lacked a history of allergic disease, were selected for the study.

Surgical options in suprastomal collapse-induced severe airway obstruction.

Purpose: A single institutions experience with various surgical options in the treatment of severe suprastomal collapse (SSC).

Methods: The study included 18 tracheostomized children with SSC treated between January 2012 and December 2018. Data included: patient demography, initial airway lesions, comorbidities, indication and age at tracheostomy, prior airway surgery, stomal demography, type of surgery, postoperative management, complications and treatment outcomes.

Platelet-rich plasma for laryngotracheal reconstruction: an experimental study.

Objectives/hypothesis: This study was designed to evaluate the graft healing effect of topical application of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for laryngotracheal reconstruction (LTR) in a rabbit model.

Study Design: It is a prospective randomized control animal study.

Materials And Methods: Sixteen healthy New Zealand White rabbits were assigned to two groups of eight animals each.

Congenital midnasal stenosis: Conservative management.

Introduction: Congenital midnasal stenosis (MNS) is an extremely rare disease which may be life threatening, and shows difficulty in diagnosis and management. This case series summarizes superiority of using intranasal mometasone furoate spray (IMS) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) to treat nasal obstruction in neonates with MNS.

Methods: This study reviewed six consecutive cases of MNS.

A Life Threatening Subglottic and Mediastinal Hemangioma in an Infant.

Subglottic and mediastinal hemangioma are rare benign vascular tumors of childhood. They cause potentially life threatening condition which requires intervention. Several therapeutic options have been described in the literature with varying degrees of success and complications.

Predictive fiberoptic endoscopic findings of upper airway in children with allergic rhinitis.

Objective: To determine predictive fiberoptic findings of upper airway in children with allergic rhinitis.

Method: 129 children had fiberoptic evaluation of nasal cavity, pharynx and larynx. They were divided into allergic rhinitis group and normal group based on skin prick test results.

The Effect of Nasal Functions on the Integrity of Grafts after Myringoplasty.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the effects of nasal functions for the integrity of grafts after myringoplasty.

Methods: In our study 78 patients who underwent myringoplasty operation between 2011-2013 were included. Group I was defined as the group with an intact tympanic membrane following surgery.

Change in nasal congestion index after treatment in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis.

Background: The management of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) involves both surgical and medical approaches, and remains a controversial subject.

Objective: The objective of this prospective, randomized, controlled trial was to compare the medical and surgical treatments of CRSwNP in terms of their effect on the nasal congestion index (NCI).

Methods: Forty-eight patients with CRSwNP were randomized either to medical or surgical therapy.
