Variations in Paranasal Sinus Anatomy in Children With Apert Syndrome: A Radiological Analysis.

Background: Apert syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by craniofacial abnormalities and premature closure of the coronal sutures. The restriction of cranial development may have a subsequent effect on paranasal anatomy development.

Aim: The aim of the study was to gain an understanding of paranasal sinus anatomical variations seen in children with Apert syndrome.

Bilateral temporomandibular joint luxation in a 6-month-old child: Case report.

Background: Luxation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is an acute condition associated with translocation of the condylar joint out of its functional position. Traumatic causes are more common in childhood, while non-traumatic causes are very rare.

Clinical Presentation: A 6-month-old patient was brought to a rural hospital emergency department with the inability to close her mouth.

Surgical Treatment of a Child With Acute Cortical Blindness Caused by Depressed Skull Fracture.

Linear skull fractures are relatively common in children, however, it is rarer to see depressed fractures. This report details the case of a 7-year-old boy who was admitted to the emergency department with complete blindness after having experienced an in-car traffic accident. Brain tomography of the patient showed that a large, island-shaped piece of occipital bone was depressed on the visual cortex and superior sagittal sinus in the midline.

Classification of laryngeal injury in patients with prolonged intubation and to determine the factors that cause the injury.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate injuries occurring in the larynx of patients intubated in intensive care units for a long time.

Study Design: Prospective clinical study.

Setting: Tertiary hospital.

Controversy about the protective role of volume in the frontal sinus after severe head trauma: larger sinus equates with higher risk of death.

The "crumple zone" hypothesis suggests that the paranasal sinuses protect the brain as a zone to distribute and absorb energy after trauma to the head. We investigated the relation between the size of the frontal sinus and mortality in patients with cranial trauma. All patients with head trauma admitted to the ICU between 1 January 2016 and 20 December 2017 were reviewed retrospectively.

Does Postauricular Incision Cause Auricula Protrusion After Tympanoplasty?

Background: An ear surgery can be performed via transcanal, endaural, or postauricular approach according to the surgeon's desicion. The postauricular one is the most commonly performed approach.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate whether preferring postauricular approach during ear surgery cause auricular protrusion in over time.

What Are We Missing From Asymmetric Relationship Between the Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness Profiles and Sphenoid Sinus Volume?

Purpose/aim Of The Study: Detailed analysis of retinal structure such as the retinal nerve fiber layer can be performed by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). There are no published studies concerning a relationship between retinal nerve fiber layer and human sphenoid sinus volumes. We investigated this relationship.

Voice Quality After Radiotherapy and Cordectomy in Early-Stage Glottic Carcinomas.

Laryngeal carcinomas are the most common upper respiratory tract cancers and most commonly involve the glottic region. The aim of this study is to evaluate the voice quality after radiotherapy (RT) and microsurgical cordectomy (MC) treatments using Voice Handicap Index (VHI) and Grade, Roughness, Breathiness, Astenicity, and Strain (GRBAS) perceptual evaluation scale in patients with early-stage glottic carcinoma. A total of 37 patients with early-stage glottic carcinomas, 19 patients had RT and 18 patients with MC, were included in our study.

First emerging objective experimental evidence of hearing impairment following subarachnoid haemorrhage; Felix culpa, phonophobia, and elucidation of the role of trigeminal ganglion.

The exact mechanism of phonophobia induced by subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) has not been understood well. This subject was investigated. This study was conducted on 25 rabbits.

Effect of Septoplasty on the Heart Rate Variability in Patients With Nasal Septum Deviation.

Background: Nasal septum deformities (NSD) are one of the most common causes of upper airway obstruction. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a physiologic parameter that is affected by the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic tonus.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a septoplasty operation on HRV parameters as assessed by 24 hours ambulatory Holter recordings in patients with NSD.
