What is the annual risk of infection in congenital midline neck cysts in children? Thyroglossal duct cysts versus dermoid cysts Int. J. Pediatr. Otorhinolaryngol. (IF 1.5) Pub Date : 2023-12-30 Amy Edith Barbour, Dawn Penman, Haytham Kubba
Introduction Midline neck lumps in children are mostly found to be thyroglossal duct cysts or dermoid cysts. Thyroglossal duct cysts often have an associated sinus tract which may connect all the way to the foramen caecum on the tongue, while dermoids have no such connection. This study aims to estimate the annual infection risk for midline neck cysts based on our patient series, and to see if this

Prevalence of tinnitus in juvenile fibromyalgia patients visiting a pediatric rheumatology clinic Int. J. Pediatr. Otorhinolaryngol. (IF 1.5) Pub Date : 2023-12-29 Ayush Gupta, Kenneth Schikler
Juvenile fibromyalgia (JFMS) is a common disorder in the adolescent population with a prevalence of 1–6%. Our study looked at the prevalence of tinnitus in JFMS patients seen at a pediatric rheumatology clinic between 2016 and 2021. The objective of this study was to retrospectively assess prevalence of tinnitus and compare that with prevalence in non- JFMS patients presenting to the clinic. We also

Analysis of predictive factors related to long-term hearing and temporal bone development in congenital microtia Int. J. Pediatr. Otorhinolaryngol. (IF 1.5) Pub Date : 2023-12-29 Yuan Wang, Yujie Liu, Jikai Zhu, Jinsong Yang, Danni Wang, Shouqin Zhao
Objective To investigate the predictive factors of long-term hearing threshold and temporal bone development in children with congenital microtia (CM). Methods 74 patients (92 ears) with CM enrolled, which all had auditory brainstem response (ABR) results during infancy or toddlerhood, pure tone audiometry (PTA) and high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) results during childhood or adolescence

Socioeconomic status is associated with pediatric adenotonsillectomy outcomes: A single institution study Int. J. Pediatr. Otorhinolaryngol. (IF 1.5) Pub Date : 2023-12-31 David Fenton, Rose Dimitroyannis, Laura Petrauskas, Rachel Nordgren, Naomi Tesema, Sarthak Aggarwal, Nirali Patel, Andrea Shogan
Objective Our institution serves a diverse patient population across a large metropolitan city. Literature has shown pediatric otolaryngology patients with lower socioeconomic status (SES) have higher rates of sleep-disordered breathing, delays in treatment time, and greater risks of complications post-tonsillectomy. This study aims to examine the effects of SES on adenotonsillectomy outcomes performed

The development of a specialist tongue tie assessment clinic for neonates Int. J. Pediatr. Otorhinolaryngol. (IF 1.5) Pub Date : 2023-12-27 Holly Jones, Michael Walsh, Mairead O'Leary, Colleen Heffernan
Objectives Ankyloglossia or tongue tie is a condition where the lingual frenulum restricts tongue movement, negatively impacting breastfeeding. An increasing number of infants diagnosed with ankyloglossia may lead to unnecessary procedures. To limit the overtreatment of this problem, we established a specialist clinic to provide the best available evidence-based care to the mother-infant dyad. Methods

Background Congenital laryngotracheal stenosis (CLS) is a rare cause of stridor among newborns. Evidence has shown that several family members can be affected by CLS. Knowledge of the pathophysiology of familial congenital laryngotracheal stenosis (FCLS) will enable more effective therapeutic strategies. Objective To determine the clinical course and outcome of familial congenital laryngotracheal stenosis

Safety, tolerability, and effect of a single aural dose of Dornase alfa at the time of ventilation tube surgery for otitis media: A Phase 1b double randomized control trial Int. J. Pediatr. Otorhinolaryngol. (IF 1.5) Pub Date : 2023-12-21 R.B. Thornton, S. Jeffares, E. Seppanen, P. Jacoby, L.S. Kirkham, H. Bennett, H.L. Coates, S. Vijayasekaran, C.G. Brennan-Jones, P.C. Richmond
Background One third of children require repeat ventilation tube insertion (VTI) for otitis media. Disease recurrence is associated with persistent middle ear bacterial biofilms. With demonstration that Dornase alfa (a DNase) disrupts middle ear effusion biofilms ex vivo, we identified potential for this as an anti-biofilm therapy to prevent repeat VTI. First, safety and tolerability needed to be measured
