Giant PMMA Foreign Body Granulomas with Imaging.

Filler complications have a wide array of presentations including early and late manifestations. A rare late complication is the foreign body granuloma or granulomatous foreign body reaction. We present a case of giant foreign body granulomas developing 7 years after polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) filler injection.

Considerations for Functional Nasal Surgery in the Obstructive Sleep Apnea Population.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and nasal obstruction are common in the general population and frequently treated by otolaryngologists and facial plastic surgeons. Understanding the appropriate pre-, peri-, and postoperative management of OSA patients undergoing functional nasal surgery is important. OSA patients should be appropriately counseled in the preoperative period on their increased anesthetic risk.

Repairing the Nose after Failed Minimally Invasive Procedures.

Minimally invasive nasal procedures can be aimed at treating both functional and cosmetic problems. These procedures include lateral nasal wall implants, dermal fillers, thread lifting, and radiofrequency ablation. Though increasingly popular, nasal surgeons have limited data to draw from when faced with operating in a nose that has been altered by these techniques.

Pediatric orbital fractures.

Purpose Of Review: The aim of this study was to summarize current evidence on the clinical presentation, evaluation, and management of pediatric orbital fractures. Recent trends in management strategies as well as emerging surgical techniques for pediatric orbital fracture repair are presented.

Recent Findings: Although somewhat limited, growing bodies of evidence support a conservative approach with close follow up in pediatric orbital fractures.

Characteristics of Orbital Injuries Associated with Maxillofacial Trauma.

Introduction: The incidence of ocular injury associated with maxillofacial trauma remains poorly defined, with reported rates ranging from 0.8% to 92%. Our study aims to more accurately characterize ocular injuries associated with midface fractures.

Minimally Invasive Nasal Valve Treatment.

The objective of this article is to explore minimally invasive techniques to treat a poorly functioning nasal valve. It reviews the literature to introduce anatomy and examination, detail efficacy, instruct procedural protocols, and summarize utility. The article was composed based upon literature review and expert opinion.

Predictors of Delayed Enophthalmos After Orbital Fractures: A Systematic Review.

Orbital fractures are a commonly encountered problem with 7-10% of patients developing delayed enophthalmos when managed conservatively with observation. To characterize the literature regarding incidence of delayed enophthalmos among patients with untreated unilateral isolated orbital wall fractures and determine what factors may predict this untoward outcome. Preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were adhered to and a literature search was conducted using multiple medical subject headings (MeSH) headings.

General Overview of the Facial Trauma Evaluation.

The initial evaluation of maxillofacial trauma in athletes should first focus on the management of life-threatening injuries that require emergent care. Airway, breathing, and circulation are the 3 areas to be addressed first and foremost, as set forth by Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) guidelines. Following the stabilization of the patient, a thorough physical examination and systematic review of any relevant imaging studies are imperative to ensure that injuries are not missed.

Using a Systematic Approach to Teach Analysis of the Aging Face.

Objective: To assess the efficacy of a novel systematic approach aimed at improving a resident physician's ability to perform analysis of the aging face.

Study Design: Prospective randomized case-control study.

Setting: Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education accredited Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery residency program.

Variations in Medical Students' Educational Preferences, Attitudes and Volunteerism during the COVID-19 Global Pandemic.

Public health crises require individuals, often volunteers, to help minimize disasters. The COVID-19 pandemic required such activation of individuals, but little is known about medical students' preferences of such engagement. We investigated potential variations in medical students' educational preferences, attitudes, and volunteerism during the COVID-19 pandemic based on socio-demographics to better prepare for future activation scenarios.

Titanium Fan Plate Reconstruction for Lateral Orbital Traumatic Defects.

Fractures of the orbit often require operative repair with materials ranging from autologous tissue to titanium implants. Reconstructive techniques of the lateral orbital rim and wall offer a unique challenge due to the structural and aesthetic demands with regard to its natural contour. The authors present a case in which a patient sustained a ballistic injury involving the lateral orbital rim and wall requiring reconstruction.

Consideration for routine outpatient pediatric cochlear implantation: A retrospective chart review of immediate post-operative complications.

Introduction: Cochlear implantation is well accepted as the treatment of choice for prelingual deafness in children [1]. However, the safety of routinely performing this procedure on an outpatient basis is debated. We aim to assess immediate postoperative complications that would affect a surgeon's decision to perform pediatric cochlear implantation on an outpatient basis.

A novel approach to cricoarytenoid joint injections: An anatomic study.

Objectives: To demonstrate a novel approach to cricoarytenoid joint (CAJ) injections.

Study Design: Anatomic feasibility study.

Methods: Five human cadaveric larynges providing 10 CAJ s were used to obtain trajectory measurements of a 27-gauge 1½-inch needle placed between the CAJ capsule and the contralateral cricothyroid membrane.

Impact of the age of transfused red blood cells in the trauma population: a feasibility study.

Unlabelled: Following injury, transfusion of red blood cells (RBCs) of increased storage duration has been associated with an increased morbidity and mortality. Prospective trials focusing on the impact of the storage age of RBCs in severely bleeding trauma patients have failed to accrue patients. This has been attributed to an inability to maintain a large inventory of fresh RBCs, and the difficulties in obtaining consent in severely bleeding trauma patients.
