Nodular fasciitis of the tongue: A case report in an infant
Nodular fasciitis is a benign lesion uncommonly found in the head and neck region. Although described previously in adults, there have been no reports of nodular fasciitis in a child's tongue. A 4 month old male infant was referred for evaluation of a rapidly growing tongue lesion. He underwent excisional biopsy of the lesion. Initial pathology suggested a spindle cell tumor. Subsequent outside facility molecular testing was obtained and Nodular Fasciitis was confirmed. Nodular fasciitis is a rare benign tumor that can be often mistaken for malignancy.

Cochlear implantation in children with meningitis related deafness: The influence of electrode impedance and implant charge on auditory performance – a case control study
Bacterial meningitis can cause a labyrinthitis. Consequences often are intracochlear soft tissue neoformation (cochlear obliteration) or intracochlear osteoneogenesis (cochlear ossification) and deafness. Cochlear implantation becomes challenging and hearing rehabilitation is complicated. This retrospective case-control-study aimed to find correlations between morphologic, electric and functional parameters. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology)

Investigation of the mtDNA mutations in Syrian Families With Non-Syndromic Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Hearing loss is a common sensory disorder, and at least 50% of cases are due to a genetic etiology. Several mitochondrial DNA mutations (mtDNA) have been reported to be associated with nonsyndromic hearing loss (NSHL) in different population. However, There is no previous available data about the frequency of mtDNA mutations as etiology for deafness in Syrian. The aim of present study is to investigate the incidence of common mt DNA mutations in our families with congenital hearing loss and not related to the ototoxicity or aminoglycosides.

In utero drug exposure and hearing impairment in 2-year-old children A case-control study using the EFEMERIS database
The ear is composed of three parts: the outer ear (pinna, ear canal), middle ear (tympanic cavity, three ossicles), and inner ear (cochlea containing the organ of Corti and hair cells). The inner ear is the first to develop. The cochlea starts to grow around the 5th pregnancy week and has completed two and a half turns at the 10th week. Ciliated sensory cells of the organ of Corti develop from the 12th to the 20th weeks. At the 22th week, the inner ear has reached its adult size and shape. In the middle ear, the ossicles start to differentiate around the 8th week. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology)

Harare children ’s hospital airway symposium and pentafrica conference 2018
The 2018 PENTAFRICA [1] conference began with a pre-congress airway workshop and symposium held at Harare Children's Hospital on May 21st and 22nd. The free workshop, sponsored by the Zimbabwe Society of Otolaryngology, started with a day of airway surgeries, including cases of laryngeal atresia, laryngeal cleft, vocal cord paralysis, laryngomalacia, RRP, attended by four surgeons from the United States (Peggy Kelly MD, Douglas Sidell MD, Varun Vendra MD, Peter Koltai MD) and three from Zimbabwe (Clemence Chidziva MD, Naboth Matinhira MD, Titus Dzongodza MD).

Paired analysis of the microbiota between surface tissue swabs and biopsies from pediatric patients undergoing adenotonsillectomy
Culture-independent methods, based on bacterial 16  S rRNA gene sequencing, have been used previously to investigate the adenotonsillar microbiota. However, these studies have focused on a single sampling site (usually a surface swab). We aimed to investigate potential differences in adenotonsillar microbiota according to sampling location, both o n and within the adenoids and palatine tonsils.

Renal Ultrasound Abnormalities in Children with Syndromic and Non-Syndromic Microtia
Renal abnormalities are commonly considered in the work up of pediatric patients with external ear malformations. However, there is little consensus regarding an appropriate renal screening protocol for patients with microtia. We sought to characterize renal abnormalities detected on ultrasonography in pediatric patients with microtia. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology)

Simultaneous auricular reconstruction combined with bone bridge implantation-optimal surgical techniques in bilateral microtia with severe hearing impairment
Congenital bilateral microtia with external ear canal (EAC)/middle ear malformation lead to severe appearance defects, hearing impairment and language barrier. Here we report an optimal integrated surgical technique for BoneBridge implantation and auricular reconstruction, which reduce time span of operation, total cost and patients' suffering as well.

Transoral approach to Type 1 Laryngeal Cleft Repair: A novel, non-endoscopic technique
Endoscopic type 1 laryngeal cleft repair under spontaneous ventilation can be difficult in patients with poor pulmonary reserve. Intubation makes visualization of the interarytenoid area challenging during an endoscopic repair. As an alternative technique, we utilized a transoral, non-endoscopic approach with a McIvor mouth gag in two such patients. This provided adequate visualization and a larger working field with readily available instrumentation. The ability to intubate the patient obviated the need to intermittently place an endotracheal tube and allowed for uninterrupted working time. (Source: International Journal ...
