Background: Achondroplasia, the most prevalent form of skeletal dysplasia involving short stature, necessitates a multidisciplinary approach that includes otology and auditory rehabilitation. Despite this, the clinical characteristics of hearing loss and otologic manifestations in achondroplasia patients remain poorly defined. This study aimed to explore the prevalence and treatment outcomes of otologic disease in individuals with achondroplasia.

Background: The human skull contains various foramina, including the posterior condylar canal (PCC), which allows the passage of emissary veins. The PCC connects the jugular foramen to the condylar fossa and facilitates venous drainage between the jugular bulb and suboccipital venous plexus. Due to its variable size and location, the PCC can be mistaken for pathological structures, posing challenges during neurosurgical procedures.

Background: Elevated jugular bulb venous oxygen saturation (SjvO2) after cardiac arrest may be due to diffusion-limited oxygen extraction secondary to perivascular edema. Treatment with hyperosmolar solution (HTS) may decrease this edema and thus the barrier to oxygen diffusion. Alternatively, SjvO2 may rise when cerebral metabolic rate declines due to irreversible cellular injury, which would not be affected by HTS.
