Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, Section of Pediatrics and Child Neuropsychiatry, Hospital "Policlinico G. Rodolico", Catania, Italy. Electronic address:

Acute suppurative thyroiditis (AST), a rare yet potentially life-threatening infection, comprises less than 1 % of neck pathologies and requires prompt treatment. Symptoms range from neck pain and fever to dysphagia and possible abscess formation. Broad-spectrum antibiotics are the primary treatment; however, surgical drainage may be necessary for abscesses to prevent systemic infection.

BMC Surg

December 2024

Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, The Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University, No.25, Taiping Street, Jiangyang District, Luzhou, 646000, China.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of pedicled supraclavicular flaps in hypopharyngectomy reconstruction, with a focus on preserving laryngeal function.

Methods: From August 2019 to June 2022, 14 patients with primary hypopharyngeal carcinoma who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and underwent the repair of hypopharyngeal defects using pedicled supraclavicular flaps were included retrospectively. Relevant clinical evaluation indicators include patient characteristics, defect sizes, flap sizes, flap harvesting time, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications, recurrence, and survival outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how the examination of cranial nerves (CN) can help analyze swallowing efficiency by assessing facial-oral integrity in patients with neurogenic dysphagia.
  • A total of 96 dysphagic patients were evaluated through the Yale Pharyngeal Residue Severity Rating Scale and the Penetration-Aspiration Scale during a Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing.
  • Results showed that specific CN impairments could predict different types of pharyngeal residue, aiding clinicians in understanding swallowing issues and planning targeted interventions effectively.
