Hemangioblastomas involving cervical nerve roots are extremely rare. Only one case has been previously reported in the literature. We report the case of a 33-year-old man presenting with a 6-month history of upper limb pain. MRI and cervical angiography demonstrated the presence of a dumbell (intra and extradural) and highly vascularized tumor of the right C7-T1 foramina. Histological examination eventually confirmed the diagnosis of hemangioblastoma. Total removal of such a lesion may require combined (anterior and posterior) approaches and preoperative embolization.

Analytical review of facial nerve palsy following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination: comprehensive assessment.
Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol
January 2025
Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Temerty Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto, 6 Queen's Park Crescent West, Suite 120, Toronto, ON, M5S 3H2, Canada.
Purpose: The SARS-CoV-2 vaccination has reduced COVID-19 infection, though facial nerve palsy (FNP) has emerged as a notable side effect of the vaccine. We evaluated the current literature on the clinical presentation and outcomes of FNP related to COVID-19 vaccination.
Methods: A comprehensive search of seven databases was conducted for studies up to January 2023.

Background: Incidence data on Facial Nerve Disorders (FND) and Bell's palsy are currently limited. Prior epidemiological studies have estimated the incidence rate of Bell's palsy to be between 11 and 53/100,000 individuals, although the most cited incidence data are from single regions or municipalities, many of which are outdated from several decades ago.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of US adults from 2007 to 2022 using the Merative™ Marketscan® Research Databases.
Edaravone Improves Motor Dysfunction Following Brachial Plexus Avulsion Injury in Rats.

Department of Neurology, Multi-Omics Research Center for Brain Disorders,The First Affiliated Hospital, Hengyang Medical School, University of South China, Hengyang, Hunan 421001, China.
Brachial plexus root avulsion (BPRA) is often caused by road collisions, leading to total loss of motor function in the upper limb. At present, effective treatment options remain limited. Edaravone (EDA), a substance that eliminates free radicals, exhibits numerous biological properties, including neuroprotective, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

Ear Hear
January 2025
Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, Radboud University Medical Centre, Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
Objectives: Real-time monitoring of cochlear function to predict the loss of residual hearing after cochlear implantation is now possible. Current approaches monitor the cochlear microphonic (CM) during implantation from the electrode at the tip of the implant. A drop in CM response of >30% is associated with poorer hearing outcomes.
