Laryngeal cleft type IV: One pathology, two different presentations
Laryngotracheoesophageal cleft is a rare congenital malformation where a communication exists between the aero-digestive tracts that is associated with high morbidity and mortality. In this case series, we describe our experience with two neonates evaluated in our institution with two diverse initial presentations and symptomatology of type IV laryngotracheoesophageal clefts. One patient presented with acute distress and respiratory failure due to bowel contents obstructing the trachea and the other presented with mild subcostal retractions and inspiratory stridor without overt respiratory failure.

Sialoblastoma in chin and management of treatment
Sialoblastoma is a rare salivary gland tumor mainly located in parotid. In this article, we aimed to review the clinical manifestations and treatments of sialoblastoma, especially to provide effective chemotherapy regimens to instruct internal medicine therapy for unresectable or recurrent tumors.

Influence of age and gender on reference values for common pediatric sleep questionnaires: Results from a community-based study
Sleep problems are often assessed using questionnaires, but it is unclear whether the responses given are influenced by age and gender. We addressed this question in several widely used pediatric sleep questionnaires and provide age-dependent percentile curves. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology)

Impact of supraglottoplasty on parental preception of swallowing using a 10 question swallowing index
Laryngomalacia can have a significant impact on swallowing function. Most of the studies in literature have focused on evaluating swallowing dysfunction in children with Laryngomalacia using clinical assessment and swallowing studies i.e. functional endoscopic evaluation of swallowing or videofluroscopic evaluation of swallowing.
