In the evaluation of a large series of infectious processes in the cervical region, certain diagnostic sonographic patterns have been established, which prove very helpful in differentiating the various stages and the extension of inflammatory processes. The advantages of sonographic imaging are demonstrated.

First branchial cleft anomalies in children: long-term outcome in 16 patients.

Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol

January 2025

Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospitals Leuven, Leuven, Belgium.

Introduction: First branchial cleft anomalies (FBCA) are rare congenital head and neck malformations, often subject to incorrect diagnosis and treatment. We present our experience with FBCA, focusing on clinical presentation, diagnosis, perioperative relation to the facial nerve, surgical approach, complications and patient satisfaction.

Methods: A consecutive cohort of 16 patients undergoing surgical treatment for FBCA between 1999 and 2021 was analyzed.

Objective: To compare the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of the olfactory cleft (OC) and olfactory bulbs (OBs) in patients with long COVID-19-related (LCOD) and non-COVID-19 postviral olfactory dysfunction (NCPVOD) to explore mechanisms underlying persistent olfactory dysfunction.

Methods: This retrospective analysis included patients diagnosed with LCOD or NCPVOD at the China-Japan Friendship Hospital between February 2023 and July 2024. All patients underwent olfactory psychophysical testing (Sniffin' Sticks), a visual analogue scale (VAS) for olfactory function, and high-resolution MRI scans of the olfactory pathway.

Objective: Chronic cough poses diagnostic and treatment challenges due to its often multifactorial nature. Chronic cough associated with laryngeal hypersensitivity is linked to sensory neuropathy of the superior laryngeal nerve and can be complex to manage. Superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) blocks are increasingly being utilized by laryngologists to treat refractory chronic cough with the intent of reducing inflammation and nerve hypersensitivity.

Relationship between muscular mass, inflammatory status, tumor metabolic activity and oral intake in head and neck cancer at the outset of management.

Clin Nutr ESPEN

Service d'orl et chirurgie cervico-faciale, CHU de Clermont-Ferrand, 58 rue Montalembert, 63000 Clermont-Ferrand, France; Unité de Nutrition Humaine (UNH), Université Clermont Auvergne, INRAE, CRNH Auvergne, 58 rue Montalembert, 63000 Clermont-Ferrand, France. Electronic address:

Background And Aims: Patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) are often malnourished with a low muscular mass at the outset of management. This is thought to be mainly due to poor nutritional intake. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between tumor metabolic activity, inflammatory status and body composition in HNC patients.
