Article Synopsis
- - Granular myringitis is a persistent inflammation of the eardrum that doesn't affect the middle ear, and there isn’t a standard treatment for it.
- - A 60-year-old woman with persistent ear discharge and hearing loss was initially treated with antibiotics but showed no improvement, leading to a decision for surgery due to complications and impact on her life.
- - Surgical treatment involved removing granulation tissue and improving the ear canal, resulting in symptom resolution and a better quality of life, indicating the approach's potential for chronic cases, though more research is needed on long-term effects.
Case Series of Endoscopic Transoral Excision of Huge Parapharyngeal Tumors: Pushing the Boundaries.

Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Universiti Malaya Faculty of Medicine, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Endoscopic transoral excision of parapharyngeal space (PPS) tumors is often condemned for its many limitations. We revisit this approach and aim to introduce some updated perspectives following the advancement of endoscopic instrumentation, robotic transoral surgery, and radical tonsillectomy. We illustrate the techniques that were deployed for six patients with huge benign PPS tumors originating from the pre-styloid compartment at our center.

Objective: Previous reports indicate that diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) rates in Malaysian children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) range between 54-75%, which is higher than most European nations. Knowledge of trends and predictors of DKA can be helpful to inform measures to lower the rates of DKA. However, this data is lacking in Malaysian children.
