Effect of environmental factors on Internet searches related to sinusitis
ConclusionsGoogle search activity for related terms follow the pattern of seasonal influenza‐like illness and nitrogen dioxide. These data highlight the epidemiologic potential of this novel surveillance method. Level of EvidenceNA Laryngoscope, 2015

Cost of management in epistaxis admission: Impact of patient and hospital characteristics
ConclusionAlthough hospitalization costs are complex and multifactorial, we were able to identify patient and hospital characteristics associated with high costs in the management of epistaxis. Early identification and intervention, combined with implementation of targeted hospital management protocols, may improve outcomes and reduce financial burden. Level of Evidence2C.

Rapidly fluctuating anosmia: A clinical sign for unilateral smell impairment
We present a case of unilateral anosmia with contralateral normosmia, presenting as rapidly fluctuating anosmia. The olfactory fluctuation occurred in sync with the average nasal cycle duration. Examination after nasal decongestion, formal smell testing, and imaging revealed unilateral, left‐sided anosmia of sinonasal cause, with right‐sided normosmia. We hypothesize that the nasal cycle induced transient anosmia when blocking the normosmic side. Fluctuating olfactory deficits might hide a unilateral olfactory loss and require additional unilateral testing and thorough workup. Level of EvidenceNA Laryngoscope, 2015

Nasolabial cysts: A systematic review of 311 cases
ConclusionsEndoscopic transnasal marsupialization is a relatively new alternative to intraoral sublabial resection of nasolabial cysts, with similar efficacy. The rates of postoperative swelling, pain, and recurrence are similar in both groups. Laryngoscope, 2015

Comorbidities in patients with all‐positive symptoms on sinonasal outcomes test quality‐of‐life instrument
ConclusionThe SNOT‐20 questionnaire assists clinicians to monitor outcomes in patients treated for CRS. However, clinicians should suspect other underlying chronic conditions in SNOT‐20 pan‐positive patients. Level of Evidence3B. Laryngoscope, 2015

Chronic invasive fungal sinusitis associated with intranasal drug use
We report a case of CIFS in an otherwise healthy young adult associated with intranasal illicit drug abuse. The patient presented with nonhealing nasal septal and palatal perforations. Biopsy demonstrated invasive Aspergillus flavus requiring surgical debridement and extended intravenous antifungal therapy. Tissue necrosis and ulceration related to intranasal drug use should be recognized as a potential risk factor for invasive fungal sinusitis. Laryngoscope, 2015

Potential correlations of dentogenic factors to the development of clinically verified fungus balls: A retrospective computed tomography–based analysis
ConclusionsDentogenic factors regardless of type potentially correlate with the presence of maxillary sinus fungus ball. Unlike the overall presence of dentogenic factors, the particular dentogenic factors in an individual patient do not significantly influence the development of fungus balls. After diagnosis of dentogenic pathology in penetrated maxillary sinus floors, patients should be closely monitored and informed about their higher risk of developing a fungus ball.

Soot and house dust mite allergen cause eosinophilic laryngitis in an animal model
ConclusionThe combination of HDMA and iron soot resulted in laryngeal eosinophilia in an established guinea pig model of CL. The data support the notion that factors other than reflux may cause CL. Further investigation into eosinophilic laryngitis as a distinct clinical entity caused by exposure to environmental allergen and pollution is warranted. Level of EvidenceN/A. Laryngoscope, 2015

Allergic reaction to ortho‐phthalaldehyde following flexible laryngoscopy
We present three cases of patients who developed significant allergic reactions following repeated laryngoscopic examinations. Subsequent intradermal allergy testing confirmed sensitivity to OPA. In addition, we reviewed the current literature, which includes 17 similar reactions reported in nine patients across disciplines. Allergic reaction to OPA is uncommon, but a potentially under‐reported severe complication of repeated endoscopy. Level of EvidenceNA Laryngoscope, 2015

Surgical treatment is effective in severe cases of exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction: A follow-up study.
CONCLUSIONS: Surgery is an effective treatment in severe cases of supraglottic exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (E-ILO). Conservatively treated subjects and subjects tested negative for E-ILO, who still experience breathing problems 1-3 years after diagnosis, tend to adjust their physical activity to a greater extent than surgically treated subjects. OBJECTIVE: To investigate how symptoms and level of physical activity change over time in patients with E-ILO who have undergone surgery, patients with E-ILO treated conservatively and patients who tested negative for laryngeal obstruction at continuous laryngoscopy...

REMODEL larger cohort with long‐term outcomes and meta‐analysis of standalone balloon dilation studies
ConclusionsAll outcomes are comparable between FESS and balloon dilation at all time points from 6 months to 24 months. Balloon dilation produces faster recovery, less postoperative pain, and fewer debridements than FESS. There is significant, durable benefit in a large series of 358 patients undergoing standalone balloon dilation. Level of Evidence1b/2a. Laryngoscope, 2015

Sinonasal malignancies: A population‐based analysis of site‐specific incidence and survival
ConclusionSinonasal malignancies are rare entities with poor overall prognosis. By anatomical site, prognosis is best for nasal cavity cancers and worst for overlapping lesions. Level of Evidence4. Laryngoscope, 2015

Familial risk of pediatric chronic rhinosinusitis
ConclusionsIn the largest population study to date of children with CRS, a significant familial risk is confirmed. Parents of probands were also at increased risk, although it was much more likely for one parent to be affected than both, suggesting a genetic component of the disease. Further understanding of the genetic basis of CRS and its interplay with environmental factors could clarify the etiology and lead to more effective targeted treatments.

Rhinology and medical malpractice: An update of the medicolegal landscape of the last ten years

Endoscopic surgery of the orbital apex: Outcomes and emerging techniques
ConclusionsThe endoscopic approach to the orbit apex offers significant advantages over traditional external approaches, and should be the preferred approach for all medial and inferior lesions.
