JLO surgical video: right selective neck dissection levels 2-5
Surgical training has become more challenging following the introduction of the European Working Time Directive. The consequences of reducing the amount of time we operate has driven us to look for other resources to fill this gap. These initially began...
Voice therapy is an effective treatment for presbyphonia
The quality of an individual’s voice often declines with age. This deterioration occurs firstly as a result of vocal fold atrophy secondary to histologic alteration of the vocal fold mucosa as well as atrophy of the laryngeal musculature. Phonatory efficiency...Ultrasonic bone aspirators for internal auditory meatus ‘drilling’ in retrosigmoid vestibular schwannoma resection
In this article, the authors describe the retrosigmoid approach to a vestibular schwannoma, using an ultrasonic bone aspirator as an alternative to the standard drill. Vestibular schwannomas (VS) are benign, usually slow-growing tumours of the vestibular nerve. Management of VS...
Head and neck radiation and the brain
An increasing number of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and other lesions are treated with high dose radiotherapy. An increase in survival rates is being reported along with a younger patient demographic. The long-term effects of treatment...
Eagle syndrome and vascular complications
Eagle syndrome is characterised by an elongated styloid process, which is anatomically positioned between the external carotid artery laterally and the internal carotid artery and internal jugular vein medially. As a result, vessel impingement can be exacerbated by head movements,...
Rotational Vestibular Assessment
Although Rotational Vestibular Assessment is a textbook aimed primarily at audiologists, all specialists involved in vestibular work, including medics, physiotherapists and scientists will find something of interest here. The writing style adopted, combined with the numerous illustrations, all help to...
The vestibular system is not immune to chronic otitis media
It is well recognised that chronic otitis media (COM) is a risk factor for sensorineural hearing loss. Studies on the effect of COM on vestibular function have been beset by design biases. The authors designed a case control study to...Imaging and management of head and neck vascular anomalies
Vascular anomalies are a diffuse spectrum of abnormalities which often involve the head, neck and oral cavity. They are frequently misnamed, often being generically labelled as haemangiomas. This lack of basic understanding can cause confusion leading to a cascade of...Facial pain: the differential diagnosis in an ENT clinic
The patient presenting with facial pain can be a heartsink. Fear not – Bhaskar Ram and Sangeeta Maini are here with a succinct overview of the common non-sinogenic causes of facial pain and headache, and how to manage them. Facial...Partial reconstruction of the pinna
Reconstruction of the pinna is one of the most challenging procedures in facial plastic surgery. Although there has been significant progress since one of the earliest recorded descriptions by Sushruta in 600 BC, the complex three-dimensional structure of the pinna...News from the International Vestibular Society
The executive committee of the International Vestibular Society has announced two new awards in vestibular science: one for basic and the second for clinical research. The society wishes to promote and encourage young researchers below 38, and allow the award...
