Sleep disorders have emerged as a significant public health issue, adversely affecting quality of life and precipitating severe complications. The association between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and otolaryngological manifestations appears to be underrecognized. This study posits that manifestations in the ear, nose and throat (ENT) among patients with OSAS and users of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy are relatively common. Utilizing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) statement, this systematic review, registered at PROSPERO (No. CRD42023452473), involved a comprehensive search of the MEDLINE databases. We included studies published in English from 1979 to March 2021 that explored the linkages between OSAS, CPAP and otolaryngological manifestations. A total of 29 articles were reviewed, with findings indicating 12 studies on ear dysfunctions, 11 on nose dysfunctions and 6 on pharynx dysfunctions. Reported symptoms included hearing dysfunction, vestibular function disorders, cerebrospinal fluid leak, Eustachian tube (ET) dysfunction, rhinosinusitis, olfaction and taste disorders, dysphagia, dry mouth, and gastroesophageal reflux. The etiology of these ailments varies, yet an understanding of these symptoms can improve the diagnosis to confirm or rule out OSAS. Early identification of ENT symptoms related to OSAS may facilitate prompt diagnosis and mitigate serious complications.

Background: Non-isolated auditory neuropathy (AN), or syndromic AN, is marked by AN along with additional systemic manifestations. The diagnostic process is challenging due to its varied symptoms and overlap with other syndromes. This study focuses on two mitochondrial function-related genes which result in non-isolated AN, FDXR and TWNK, providing a summary and enrichment analysis of genes associated with non-isolated AN to elucidate the genotype-phenotype correlation and underlying mechanisms.

Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) is a rare congenital condition characterized by the fusion of cervical vertebrae. It classically presents with a triad of symptoms: limited cervical range of motion, a low posterior hairline, and a short neck. Common otolaryngological manifestations include hearing loss, dysphagia, cleft palate, jaw disorders, thyroid abnormalities, and ear malformations, highlighting the importance of KFS awareness in the field of otolaryngology.

GAPO syndrome is an exceptionally-rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by growth retardation, alopecia, pseudoanodontia, and optic abnormalities, with fewer than 60 cases reported globally. We present the first documented case in Syria, highlighting novel otolaryngological and radiological findings that expand the clinical spectrum of this syndrome. A 27-year-old male presented with chronic right-sided otalgia, unilateral conductive hearing loss, and persistent sinonasal symptoms.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the frequency and types of pathogenic variants in the COCH gene among Cantabrian patients with nonsyndromic hereditary hearing loss, focusing on their cochleovestibular symptoms.
- - A cohort of 248 patients with postlingual nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss underwent next-generation genetic testing, which revealed that 22.8% had pathogenic variants, with specific attention given to the c.263G>C variant in the COCH gene.
- - Findings indicate that COCH gene variants are common in the region studied, particularly the c.263G>C variant, which is linked to progressive bilateral hearing loss and vestibular issues, resembling symptoms seen in other similar genetic cases.

Introduction: To document through a case report the ENT manifestations of the STING-associated vasculopathy with onset in infancy (SAVI) syndrome, remarking their value to achieve the diagnosis.
Case Summary: A man in his forties presented with exercise-related dyspnoea and cold-exacerbated painful lesions over the nasal tip, cheeks, ears, and feet since his early childhood. The ENT manifestations included cartilaginous necrosis (both auricles and nasal tip) and a 1-cm anterior septal perforation.
