Surgical operation for ENS is often accompanied by procedural difficulties and complications. Aims To introduce and evaluate the use of nasal floor augmentation as a simple method to increase nasal resistance and ameliorate the symptoms of ENS. Materials and methods In this prospective study, the nasal floor in six patients with ENS was augmented with pieces of auricular cartilage. Subjective symptoms were examined using questionnaire assessments performed before and 3 months after surgery. Pre- and postoperative nasal resistance was evaluated using rhinomanometry. Results The nasal floor was successfully augmented in all six cases. At 3 months after surgery, the total questionnaire score reduced, and the nasal resistance increased. Conclusions and significance The findings of this study suggest that nasal floor augmentation for ENS is effective in increasing nasal resistance and reducing the nasal symptoms causally related to ENS.

Several regional flaps are used for complex head and neck (H&N) deformities, such as pectoralis major flap, deltopectoral flap, and forehead flap. Free Tissue Transfer (FTT) is usually used in a large defect that cannot be closed with a regional flap. Recently there has been a resurgence of interest in using cervico-humeral tissue, specifically the supraclavicular flap (SCF). We report one case of pharyngocutaneous fistula following total laryngectomy and neck dissection, which was successfully managed using SCF. Prompted by this case, we present a scoping review of the literature with a specific clinical question, search terms applied, and a critical appraisal was conducted to the selected literature. The finding supports the viability and versatility of SCF as an excellent reliable alternative to FTT and provides evidence for its inclusion in the head and neck reconstructive surgery armamentarium.","PeriodicalId":40723,"journal":{"name":"Acta Oto-Laryngologica Case Reports","volume":"7 1","pages":"68 - 73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41615233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He was initially suspected of having facial palsy because no other abnormality was noted on physical examination. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed dissection of the left ICA and excluded cerebrovascular diseases. Computed tomography revealed an elongated left SP in close proximity to the left ICA. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed with ICA dissection due to the left elongated SP causing radiating pain and ptosis, which is also a symptom of Horner syndrome.

In this study, we present two cases of neurobrucellosis with bilateral SNHL who were succesfully managed by cochlear implantation (CI). case 1 was 52 year-old woman was admitted to another hospital 10 years ago with diagnosis of neurobrucellosis then she developed bilateral severe SNHL. There was no benefit of using hearing aid and she was found to be suitable for cochlear implantation. After the operation her audiological evaluation reflected aided Pure Tone Average (PTA) of 15 dB HL and Word recognition Score (WRS) in quiet (at 65 dB HL) was 80%. Case 2 A 48 year-old woman was admitted to our center and diagnosed as a case of neurobrucellosis. Two months later she had suffered from bilateral progressive hearing loss. Her hearing assessment showed bilateral profound SNHL and she used hearing aids but without benefit. After successful treatment of her illness, she was accepted for unilateral cochlear implant and underwent right CI. The most recent audiological evaluation reflected aided PTA of 27.5 dB HL.

A nasopharyngeal airway was inserted into the right nasal cavity as first aid, which effectively improved the patient’s respiratory condition. However, her respiratory condition deteriorated rapidly at 29 days of age. Hence, microdebrider-assisted endoscopic marsupialization was performed at 61 days of age.
