Maxillary sinus barotrauma with infraorbital nerve paraesthesia after breath-hold diving.

Barosinusitis, or sinus barotrauma, is a sinonasal injury and/or inflammation that results when the aerated spaces of the nose and sinuses are exposed to an uncompensated change in ambient pressure. We describe a 19-year-old male diver who presented to our clinic on the fourth day following a breath-hold diving session. During descent on a constant weight monofin dive at the South Cyprus World Championship he began to experience symptoms due to the inability to equalise the pressure, particularly in the Eustachian tubes and middle ear cavities.

Article Synopsis
- Breath-holding spells (BHSs) are episodes in children characterized by apnea, loss of consciousness, and changes in skin tone, likely caused by autonomic dysregulation from delayed myelination, though the exact cause is unclear.
- The study examined 16 children with severe BHS, comparing them to 18 matched controls through various evaluations and MRI scans, revealing no significant brainstem volume differences but lower fractional anisotropy (FA) values in key brain areas for BHS patients.
- The findings suggest that BHSs may be treated like other neurodevelopmental disorders, providing insights into their underlying pathophysiology and potential treatment approaches.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to quantify unexpected liver volume reductions in patients treated with sorafenib prior to and during liver radiation therapy (RT).
Methods And Materials: Fifteen patients were treated in a phase 1 study of sorafenib for 1 week, followed by concurrent sorafenib-RT (in 6 fractions). Patients had either focal cancer (treated with stereotactic body RT [SBRT]) or diffuse disease (treated with whole-liver RT).
