Background: The collaboration between otolaryngologists and dental providers is crucial for the planning and execution of maxillary sinus elevation (MSE) procedures, which are integral to successful dental implant placements.
Purpose: This article examines the essential role of otolaryngological assessments in identifying potential sinonasal risks that could impact the outcomes of MSE.
Materials And Methods: A comprehensive narrative review of existing literature was conducted.
Discussion: The review underscores the importance of thorough preoperative evaluations, including patient history, computed tomography (CT) or cone-beam CT (CBCT) scans, and nasal endoscopy, to mitigate sinonasal health risks. It details various clinical scenarios and patient assessments, emphasizing a systematic approach to diagnosing and managing sinonasal conditions proactively. The discussion reveals that while some sinus conditions may not significantly affect MSE success, conditions impacting mucociliary clearance and sinus drainage are critical risk factors requiring otolaryngological intervention. Additionally, the article introduces a grading system to assist clinicians in identifying patients who would benefit from otolaryngological evaluations prior to MSE.
Conclusion: This review highlights the value of interdisciplinary collaboration and standardized protocols in enhancing the predictability and safety of MSE procedures, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

Thermal burns of the larynx are uncommon but can lead to serious upper airway obstruction due to edema and bleeding, especially in children who may struggle to communicate their symptoms effectively. This report presents the case of a one-year-and-seven-month-old boy who developed stridor and respiratory distress after eating a heated potato, which ultimately required tracheal intubation. The initial evaluation suggested foreign body aspiration; however, laryngoscopy confirmed significant arytenoid swelling and airway narrowing due to thermal burns.

Objective: To propose a European consensus for managing and treating laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD) to guide primary care and specialist physicians.
Methods: Twenty-three European experts (otolaryngologists, gastroenterologists, surgeons) participated in a modified Delphi process to revise 38 statements about the definition, clinical management, and treatment of LPRD. Three voting rounds were conducted on a 5-point scale and a consensus was defined a priori as agreement by 80% of the experts.

Background: Orbital decompression is recommended for TED especially in the treatment of severe, refractory cases yet there are no clear guidelines regarding the optimal surgical approach. Previously conducted surveys assessed variations in the management of TED but only amongst ophthalmologists. Our study attempts to better characterize surgical and perioperative preferences amongst otolaryngologists in the management of TED.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a slowly progressive disease most often affecting older patients. Although CLL is typically identified on routine blood work, unique manifestations of the disease have been described both at the time of diagnosis and in the setting of indolent disease. We present on 3 CLL patients with previously stable oncologic disease who presented with orbital pathologies including dacryocystitis, epiphora, proptosis, and diplopia.

Introduction: Obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (OSDB) is the consequence of an anatomical and/or functional reduction in upper airway size during sleep. Young patients can also be affected. TROS type 1 (TROS1 ) is most often found in young, non-obese children with no associated comorbidities, presenting with an otorhinolaryngological (ENT) obstacle, generally an enlargement of lymphoid tissue (tonsils and/or adenoids).
