Surgical salvage of recurrent vestibular schwannoma following prior stereotactic radiosurgery
ConclusionMicrosurgical salvage of VS following primary radiation therapy is challenging. Less‐than‐complete resection is required in a greater percentage of patients to preserve facial nerve integrity and prevent neurological complications. Long‐term follow‐up is needed to determine the risk of delayed progression following incomplete tumor removal. Level of EvidenceLevel 3. Laryngoscope, 2016

Pregnancy is not a risk factor for idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss: A nationwide population-based study.
Conclusion Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) in pregnancy is rare. It usually occurs in the third trimester. SSNHL in pregnancy does not increase risks during delivery or subsequent stroke. Objectives This study aimed to investigate the incidence and to determine the factors associated with SSNHL in pregnancy. Method Data were retrieved from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Database (NHIRD), covering the years 2000-2009. Patients admitted for SSNHL during pregnancy were enrolled. An age-matched controlled cohort was randomly selected from pregnant women without SSNHL in the NHIRD. The clinical characteristics of ...

Skull base osteomyelitis missed in mastoidectomy for cholesteatoma.
Conclusions A high suspicion of skull base involvement should be warranted, even if radiological findings are not atypical, in cases of chronic otitis media (COM) with cholesteatoma. Objective To investigate some clues indicating the development of skull base osteomyelitis (SBO) in patients who received mastoidectomy, through reviewing pre-operative temporal bone computed tomography (TBCT). Method Retrospective review of patients with SBO after mastoidectomy for COM. A total of five patients with SBO after mastoidectomy with available pre-operative TBCTs were enrolled in this study. Results All patients were diagnosed as C...

Sudden hearing loss and the risk of subsequent cerebral ischemic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that SSNHL does not significantly increase the risk of ischemic stroke. PMID: 26601553 [PubMed - in process]

Internal carotid artery injury in endoscopic endonasal surgery: A systematic review
ConclusionsThe incidence of reported cases of ICA injury during EES remains low. Left‐sided injuries to the cavernous segment of the ICA occurred more frequently than injuries on the right. Level of EvidenceNA Laryngoscope, 2015

Effect of oral IQoro(R) and palatal plate training in post-stroke, four-quadrant facial dysfunction and dysphagia: A comparison study.
CONCLUSION: Training with either a palatal plate (PP) or an oral IQoro(R) screen (IQS) in patients with longstanding facial dysfunction and dysphagia after stroke can significantly improve facial activity (FA) in all four facial quadrants as well as swallowing capacity (SC). Improvements remained at late follow-up. The training modalities did not significantly differ in ameliorating facial dysfunction and dysphagia in these patients. However, IQS training has practical and economic advantages over PP training. OBJECTIVES: This study compared PP and oral IQS training in terms of (i) effect on four-quadrant facial dysfu...

Hearing Loss Caused by a P2RX2 Mutation Identified in a MELAS Family With a Coexisting Mitochondrial 3243AG Mutation.
CONCLUSION: This is the first case report of a diagnosis of hearing loss caused by P2RX2 mutation in patients with MELAS. A potential explanation is that a decrease in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production due to MELAS with a mitochondrial 3243A>G mutation might suppress activation of P2X2 receptors. We also suggest that hearing loss caused by the P2RX2 mutation might be influenced by the decrease in ATP production due to MELAS. PMID: 25788561 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

STANDING, a four-step bedside algorithm for differential diagnosis of acute vertigo in the Emergency Department.
In conclusion, STANDING seems to be a promising simple structured bedside algorithm that in this preliminary study identified central AV with a very high sensitivity, and was associated with significant reduction of neuroimaging and hospitalisation rates.

VOR Gain by Head Impulse Video-Oculography Differentiates Acute Vestibular Neuritis from Stroke
Conclusion: Video HIT VOR gains differ between peripheral and central causes of AVS. PICA strokes were readily separated from neuritis using gain measures, but AICA strokes were at risk of being misclassified based on VOR gain alone.

Glomus Tympanicum: A Review of 115 Cases over 4 Decades
Conclusion Surgery remains the treatment of choice for GT, providing a high rate of tumor control and resolution of aural symptoms with a low risk of complications. The surgical approach and extent of resection should be tailored to the patient. Gross total resection can be performed in over 90% of patients; however, leaving a limited adherent tumor remnant on the facial nerve or carotid artery should be considered with advanced infiltrative disease to prevent unnecessary morbidity.

Stroke After Adenotonsillectomy in Patients With Undiagnosed Moyamoya Syndrome
Conclusions and RelevanceClinicians should be aware of an elevated prevalence of moyamoya syndrome in Down syndrome and sickle cell disease populations and should consider moyamoya syndrome in the differential diagnosis of postoperative stroke. Stroke risk is magnified in the perioperative setting related to perioperative dehydration and hypotension. Awareness and screening for cerebral vasculopathy in high-risk populations could prompt measures to decrease the occurrence of postoperative strokes after adenotonsillectomies.
