Sinonasal Angiomatous Polyp: A Case Report and Review of Literature
We report the case of a 43-year-old woman with a 3 month history of unilateral nasal obstruction with recurrent epistaxis. Nasal endoscopy showed polypoid nasal mass occupying the left nasal cavity. Imaging was suggestive of malignant vascular tumor. The patient underwent surgical excision after embolization. Histopathology concluded to the diagnosis of SAP.PMID:38654494 | DOI:10.1177/01455613241247731 (Source: Ear, Nose and Throat Journal)

A Novel Case of Cervical Lipoma Arising From Surgical Incision
This article unveils a rare case of a 32-year-old male presenting with a cervical lipoma at a previous surgical incision, an unprecedented occurrence. The patient incidentally detected the mass and underwent complete excision, with pathology confirming the diagnosis. The etiology of PTL remains speculative, with proposed mechanisms postulating inflammatory chemokines inducing preadipocyte differentiation and acute trauma causing septal rupture, allowing lipoma formation. Notably, the prior use of blade in our patient's surgical procedure aligns with this hypothesis. The varied nature of trauma encompasses acute, blunt, and...

Primary Health Care Interventions for Potentially Preventable Ear, Nose, and Throat Conditions in Rural and Remote Areas: A Systematic Review
Conclusions: The study findings may inform future programs and policy development to address detection and management of ENT conditions in rural and remote primary care settings, and supports the need for further research on innovative models of care targeting potentially preventable hospitalizations through primary and secondary level prevention.PMID:38646793 | DOI:10.1177/01455613241245198 (Source: Ear, Nose and Throat Journal)

Recurrent Peritonsillar Abscess Caused by Vaginal Flora: A Common Problem From a Unique Source
We present a case of recurrent PTA with G. vaginalis superinfection, which occurred after the patient performed oral sex on a female after incision and drainage of her initial PTA. The patient continued to have recurrent PTAs until G. vaginalis was identified, and antibiotic coverage was broadened to cover both group A Streptococcus and G. vaginalis. This case highlights the importance of culturing PTA aspirate for directed antibiosis in persistent or recurrent infections. The rare superinfection also raises the question of advising abstinence from oral-genital contact after oral procedures to minimize risk of superinfecti...

Treatment of Warthin's Tumors of the Parotid Gland With Radiofrequency Ablation: A Systematic Review of the Current Literature
Conclusion: This study suggests that RFA is an alternative to parotidectomy for the symptomatic treatment of Warthin's tumors. RFA procedures demonstrated substantial tumor size reduction with few complications. However, further meta-analysis and comparison with alternative treatments is warranted to establish RFA's role in treatment of Warthin's tumors. The study is limited by its reliance on only 2 databases and a lack of comprehensive examination of different RFA settings.PMID:38647239 | DOI:10.1177/01455613241248119 (Source: Ear, Nose and Throat Journal)

Unusual Case of Esophageal Foreign Body: A Whole Mantis Shrimp
This article presents an extremely rare case of an esophageal FB, where a 44-year-old man accidentally ingested an entire mantis shrimp while sucking its flavored tail, and was sent to the emergency department for severe throat pain and difficulty breathing. We immediately performed a laryngoscopy that revealed the FB that obstructs the entrance of the esophagus, obstructing the glottis due to the long shape of the shrimp. The mantis shrimp had barbs on its shell and trying to remove it intact would cause significant damage to the pharyngeal mucosa. Therefore, we extracted the mantis shrimp in segments under general anesth...

Regression of Endolymphatic Hydrops in Patient With Meniere's Disease Treated With Vestibular Neurectomy: A Case Report
Ear Nose Throat J. 2024 Apr 20:1455613241238633. doi: 10.1177/01455613241238633. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVestibular neurectomy is an effective method eliminating vertigo attacks in patients suffering from disabling Meniere's disease with no clinical improvement despite conservative and intratympanic therapy. Magnetic resonance imaging allows in vivo evaluation of changes manifesting in the inner ear after treatment; however, downgrading of the endolymphatic hydrops after vestibular neurectomy had not been previously described in the literature. In the present article, a case of a patient with unilateral severe Menier...
