December 2024

Division of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery, Cooper University Health Care, Camden, New Jersey, U.S.A.

Objective(s): To compare the incidence of acute and chronic complications of temporal bone fractures, and identify predictors for post-injury, audiometrically confirmed hearing loss.

Methods: Retrospective cohort analysis of patients with acute temporal bone fractures who underwent both in-hospital and outpatient follow-up Otolaryngology evaluation at an academic, tertiary-care institution from January 2002 to January 2023. Otologic outcomes were compared between initial and follow-up evaluations.

Background: Surgery for tumors in the cerebellopontine angle is always a significant challenge due to the densely packed neurovascular structures, the narrow deep location, and the complex relationship between the lesions and surrounding neurovascular structures. Recently, great attention has been given to the neuroendoscope for its exclusive advantages, which have added a new dimension to many classical microscopic surgeries. However, the feasibility and advisability of fully endoscopic neurosurgery for cerebellopontine angle tumors remain to be further evaluated.

Electronic address:

Objective: Peripheral nerve injury results in functional alterations of the corresponding active brain areas, which are closely related to functional recovery. Whether such functional plasticity induces relative anatomical structural changes remains to be investigated.

Methods: In this study, we investigated the changes in brain cortical thickness in patients with facial paralysis following neurorrhaphy treatment at different follow-up times.
