Purpose: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common autosomal recessive disorder in the Caucasian population. Otolaryngological manifestations pose a significant impact on the quality of life of children with CF. The primary aim of this review is to provide a state of the art update of current literature on the otolaryngological manifestations of CF in children.
Methods: We systematically reviewed the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase and Web of Science databases, for prospective studies including pediatric patients with cystic fibrosis, reporting on otolaryngological manifestations. After assessment of the risk of bias and quality of the included studies, data were extracted.
Results: The search retrieved 6745 unique items after duplicate removal. After three selection rounds and quality assessment, 38 articles were ultimately retained for data extraction. The total number of participants in the studies was 1981. Most studies were prospective cohort studies (n = 28). The articles were divided into six groups (ear/speech disorders - aminoglycoside ototoxicity (n = 10); otolaryngology-related quality of life (n = 5); nasal and paranasal sinuses (n = 11); sleep disorders (n = 3); paranasal sinuses imaging (n = 5); other (n = 4)).
Conclusion: The most common otolaryngological manifestation of children with CF is chronic rhinosinusitis, but CF can have other otolaryngological-related pathologies such as hearing loss, middle ear problems, sleep apnea syndrome, and decreased smell and/or taste functions. We found a considerable gap in the literature if we would draw evidence-based conclusions on diagnosis and management of otolaryngological manifestations in children with CF.

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.
