Romberg disease is a progressive hemifacial atrophy of unknown etiology. Several methods have been described for its reconstruction. Microsurgical reconstruction, focusing on the correction of facial asymmetry and restoration of contour, has become the standard. We have succeeded a reconstructive technique for Romberg disease using by omental flap. All patients achieved good healing of the transferred omentum without recurrences and complications with a good cosmetic result on long-term follow-up. Donor-site morbidity resulting from omental free flap harvest was minimal. Based on the results of our patients in this series, the surgical results were favorable. This report describes the successful treatment of 8 patients using this approach.

Background/objectives: Axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 (CMT2) accounts for 24% of Hereditary Motor/Sensory Peripheral Neuropathies. CMT2 type GG, due to four distinct heterozygous mutations in the Golgi brefeldin A resistant guanine nucleotide exchange factor 1 () gene (OMIM 606483), was described in seven cases from four unrelated families with autosomal dominant inheritance. It is characterized by slowly progressive distal muscle weakness and atrophy, primarily affecting the lower limbs.

Background And Purpose: Vestibular migraine (VM) is a common clinical disorder with a genetic predisposition characterized by recurrent episodes of dizziness/vertigo. Patients often complain of the presence of cognitive dysfunction manifestations such as memory loss, which causes great distress in daily life. In this study, we will explore the characteristics and possible risk factors of VM-related cognitive dysfunction by observing the cognitive function and vestibular function status of VM patients, laying the foundation for further exploration of the mechanisms of VM-related cognitive dysfunction.

Introduction: Modifiable risk factors play an important role in preventing dementia and reducing its progression. Regular physical activity already in midlife, which relies on intact multisensory balance control, can help to decrease the risk of dementia. However, our understanding of the relationship between postural balance and cognitive functions remains limited.

Background: During the modified Broström procedure for chronic ankle instability, surgeons often experience cases with insufficiently restored mechanical stability even after anatomical ligament repair. In these cases, longer postoperative immobilization and delayed rehabilitation can be required, and a risk for recurrence of instability may persist. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical usefulness of suture-tape augmentation based on intraoperative stress radiographs during anatomical ligament repair for chronic ankle instability.

Background And Purpose: Patients with episodic ataxia type 2 (EA2) suffer from recurrent paroxysmal episodes of vertigo and oscillopsia. Pathophysiologically, altered neuronal excitability has been suspected. Vestibular excitability in 22 EA2 patients and 22 age-matched healthy participants was compared.
