RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Petrous bone pneumatization may be related to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak secondary to vestibular schwannoma surgery. OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between petrous bone pneumatization and CSF leak in vestibular schwannoma surgery. METHODS: A retrospective study included 222 consecutive vestibular schwannoma patients treated via a retrosigmoid or translabyrinthine approach in a 17-year period in one University Hospital. Association of CSF leak and petrous bone pneumatization, as seen on CT scans, was assessed on ANOVA and Student's t or Chi-squared test in case of non-parametric distribution. RESULTS: One hundred and 75 resections were performed on a retrosigmoid approach and 47 on a translabyrinthine approach. Mean age was 53.6 ± 12.9 years. Mean follow-up was 5 years 6 months. Twenty-six patients (11.7%) showed CSF leak and 8 (3.6%) meningitis. Approach (p = 0.800), gender (p = 0.904), age (p = 0.234), body-mass index (p = 0.462), tumor stage (p = 0.681) and history of schwannoma surgery (p = 0.192) did not increase the risk of CSF leak. This risk was unrelated to mastoid pneumatization (p = 0.266). There was a highly significant correlation between internal acousticus meatus (IAM) posterior wall pneumatization and CSF leak after retrosigmoid surgery (p = 0.008). Eustachian tube packing in the translabyrinthine approach did not decrease risk of CSF leak (p = 0.571). CONCLUSION: Degree of petrous bone pneumatization was not significantly related to risk of CSF leak, but pneumatization of the posterior IAM wall increased this risk in retrosigmoid surgery. Eustachian tube packing in the translabyrinthine approach is not sufficient to prevent postoperative CSF leak. Both approaches had similar rates of CSF leaks, around 12%.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether deterioration of dental condition at the outset of management of head and neck cancer (HNC) is a nutritional risk and whether social deprivation is a cause of the poor dental condition observed in HNC patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A nutritional assessment form (NAF) and the Nutrition Risk Index (NRI) were used to standardize the nutritional status of 108 patients at the outset of management of HNC (2017-2019). The NAF includes assessment of weight loss over the past 3 months, the amount and difficulty of food intake, and the presence of digestive disorders. Dental condition was assessed by the decayed, filled, and missing teeth acopre (DFM) index and the masticatory coefficient (MC). Dental status and social deprivation were correlated with the EPICES score. RESULTS: A correlation was found between the extent of weight loss and dental condition. The MC was higher in absence of weight loss (46% vs. 27%, p = 0.03) and the DMF lower when weight loss was less than 5% (22.3 vs. 26.9 if > 5% loss of weight, p = 0.005). No correlation was found between dental status and nutritional status. Social deprivation was associated with a lower MC (26% vs. 50%, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Dental condition is a risk factor for weight loss at the outset of management of HNC but is not a determinant of nutritional status. Clinical relevance Dental condition is no longer considered simply as a source of potential complications after radiotherapy but also as an important factor for nutritional status.

RESUMEN

The main objective was to analyse the use of rigid laryngotracheoscopy under general anaesthesia (GA) and endoscopic surgery in the management of inspiratory stridor in patients referred to a paediatric ENT outpatient clinic. The secondary objective was to analyse the aetiological diagnoses made and their therapeutic management. This is a prospective study including all newborns and infants, corresponding to 190 patients, presenting for the first time in consultation for inspiratory stridor from January 2015 to December 2017. A consultation form was filled out after each consultation and added to a database; a management algorithm was used to determine which patients required a rigid laryngotracheoscopy. A 17.9% (n = 34) of the patients required rigid laryngotracheoscopy, of whom 12.6% (n = 24) underwent concomitant endoscopic surgery. A 65.8% (n = 125) of the patients were diagnosed with laryngomalacia, 21.1% (n = 40) with isolated posterior excess of mucosa, 9.5% (n = 18) with another diagnosis and 3.7% (n = 7) with a normal examination. The presence of comorbidity was associated (p < 0.001) with the use of rigid laryngotracheoscopy and endoscopic surgery.Conclusion: Rigid laryngotracheoscopy under GA was required in one in five to six patients. Conservative management with strict follow-up may be appropriate in a large number of patients, especially those with laryngomalacia. What is Known: • Previous research has established that laryngomalacia is the main aetiology of stridor. • Comorbidities are linked with a poor tolerance of stridor. What is new: • About one in five to six patients seen in consultation for stridor will require a trip to the operative room (and one in eight will require endoscopic surgery). • Laryngomalacia and isolated posterior excess of mucosa account for 85-90% of the patients seen in consultation for stridor.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To highlight the advantages of real time fluoroscopy guided electrode-array (EA) insertion (FGI) during cochlear implants surgery. METHODS: All surgical procedures were performed in a dedicated operating room equipped with a robotic C-arm cone beam device, allowing for intraoperative real time 2D FGI and postoperative 3D imaging. Only straight EAs were used. Patients were sorted out in three groups: ANAT, with anatomical concerns; HP, with residual hearing; NPR: patients with no particular reason for FGI. In all cases the angle of EA-insertion was measured. In the HP group pre and postoperative hearing were compared. The radiation delivered to the patient was recorded. RESULTS: Fifty-three cochlear implantation procedures were achieved under fluoroscopy in 50 patients from November 2015 to January 2020 (HP group: n = 10; ANAT group: n = 13; NPR group: n = 27). In the ANAT group, FGI proved to be helpful in 8 cases (61.5%), successfully guiding the surgeon during EA -insertion. On average, the angle of insertion was at 424° ± 55°. In the HP group, a controlled smooth EA-insertion was carried out in all cases but one. The targeted 360° angle of insertion was always reached. Hearing preservation was possible with an eventual average drop of 30 ± 1.5 dB. In the NPR group, FGI helped control the quality of insertion in all cases and appeared very informative in five (17.8%): one EA-misrouting, three stuck EAs, and one case with hidden electrodes out of the cochlea in revision surgery. Final 3D cone beam CT scan double-checked the EA position in all adults. The radiation dose was equivalent to a bit less than four digital subtract radiographs. CONCLUSION: The FGI is a very useful adjunct in cochlear implantation in all cases of expected surgical pitfalls, in patients with residual hearing, and even in case without preoperative particular reason, with low irradiation.

RESUMEN

The objective was to design in gerbils a model of reversible decrease in cochlear blood flow (CBF) and analyze its influence on cochlear function. In Mongolian gerbils injected with ferromagnetic microbeads, a magnet placed near the porus acusticus allowed CBF to be manipulated. The cochlear microphonic potential (CM) from the basal cochlea was monitored by a round-window electrode. In 13 of the 20 successfully injected gerbils, stable CBF reduction was obtained for 11.5 min on average. The CM was affected only when CBF fell to less than 60% of its baseline, yet remained >40% of its initial level in about 2/3 of such cases. After CBF restoration, CM recovery was fast and usually complete. Reduced CM came with a 35- to 45-dB threshold elevation of neural responses determined by compound action potentials. This method allowing reversible changes of CBF confirms the robustness of cochlear function to decreased CBF. It can be used to study whether a hypovascularized cochlea is abnormally sensitive to stress.

RESUMEN

The question addressed here is how optimizing the quality of insertion through the round window with the lower morbidity, when using a straight and slotted electrode array of regular length. This retrospective analysis includes all cases implanted with a cochlear implant Digisonic SP (Neurelec-Oticon Medical) since 2004. We checked the operative charts, the depth of insertion, and the follow-up. For comparisons, contingency tables were used and a Chi-square test was performed. A p value <0.05 was considered significant. 126 cases of patients with non-malformed cochleas were implanted through the round window. The mean age was 53.8 ± 16.2 for adults and 3.6 ± 2.6 for children (24 cases). The mean follow-up was 33 ± 22 months. The straight electrode array had either a square or a soft pointed tip (n = 84). Full insertion was achieved in 79 out of 84 cases with a soft tip vs. 18 out of 42 square tips (χ (2) = 41.41, DOF = 1, p < 0.0001). Two cases were stuck at the round window niche by a prominent crista fenestrae. In all cases but one, the chorda tympany was preserved. In one case, a misrouting to the vestibule required a revision surgery. Implantation through the round window with a straight and slotted electrode array with a soft tip (Digisonic SP, Neurelec-Oticon Medical) can lead to a full insertion in 94 % of cases. Drilling out a prominent crista fenestrae is recommended.

RESUMEN

In cerebellopontine angle (CPA) surgery, postoperative deafness can be due to alteration of cochlear blood flow that is supplied by the labyrinthine artery (LA). In particular, vasospasm is likely to occur and, if so, can be reversed. This work attempted to track down vascular events occurring during CPA surgery. Twenty consecutive patients with vestibular schwannoma were tested with useful preoperative hearing and presence of otoacoustic emissions (OAEs). Distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs), well-known to react within seconds to cochlear ischemia, were used intraoperatively to indirectly monitor cochlear blood flow. Continuous intraoperative monitoring of DPOAEs revealed three different time patterns associated with distinct auditory outcomes. Pattern P1-acute (n = 4) happened when the LA was severed: DPOAEs immediately and irreversibly foundered and led to postoperative deafness. Pattern P2-protracted (n = 7) revealed a progressive deterioration of DPOAEs from the beginning of tumor debulking, likely due to a steady decrease of cochlear blood flow, with postoperative deafness. Pattern P3-unstable (n = 5) corresponded to large DPOAE oscillations between their normal level and noise floor. It was due to acute LA vasospasm that could be reversed in three cases by topical nimodipin. Last, four patients had uneventful cochlear monitoring. In conclusion, cochlear ischemia can occur in vestibular schwannoma surgery, giving three different patterns among which vasospasm can be reversed if detected early.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Among all studies describing COVID-19 clinical features during the first wave of the pandemic, only a few retrospective studies have assessed the correlation between olfac-tory dysfunction (OD) and the evolution of disease severity. The main aim was to assess whether OD is a predictive factor of COVID-19 severity based on the patient's medical management (outpa-tient care, standard hospital admission, and ICU admission). METHODS: A national, prospective, mul-ticenter cohort study was conducted in 20 public hospitals and a public center for COVID-19 screen-ing. During the first wave of the pandemic, from 6 April to 11 May 2020, all patients tested positive for COVID-19 confirmed by RT-PCR underwent two follow-up ENT consultations within 10 days of symptom onset. The main outcome measures were the evolution of medical management (out-patient care, standard hospital admission, and ICU admission) at diagnosis and along the clinical course of COVID-19 disease. RESULTS: Among 481 patients included, the prevalence of OD was 60.7%, and it affected mostly female patients (74.3%) under 65 years old (92.5%), with fewer comor-bidities than patients with normal olfactory function. Here, 99.3% (290/292) of patients with OD presented with non-severe COVID-19 disease. Patients reporting OD were significantly less hospi-talized than the ones managed as outpatients, in either a standard medical unit or an ICU. Conclu-sions: As regards the clinical course of COVID-19 disease, OD could predict a decreased risk of hospitalization during the first wave of the pandemic.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The determination of cytokines in the postoperative drainage (POD) fluid could be a method for early detection of the development of a pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a prospective two-center study involving 28 patients. PODs were collected on Day 1 (D1) and Day 2 (D2) postoperatively for determination of a cytokine panel and cytobacteriological examination. RESULTS: Eleven (39%) patients presented with PCF on average 13 ± 5.5 days after surgery. Patients with PCF had higher IL-10 (121 vs. 40.3, p = 0.04, effect size (ES) = 0.98 [0.16, 1.79]) and TNFα level (21.2 vs. 2.2, p = 0.02, ES = 0.83 [0.03, 1.63]) on D2. An IL-10 threshold of 72 pg/mL on D2 was diagnostic of the occurrence of PCF with a sensibility of 70%, specificity of 88%. CONCLUSION: The determination of cytokines in POD fluid on D2 is a reliable tool for predicting the development of a PCF after total laryngectomy.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The role of secreted factors from the tumor cells in driving cancer cachexia and especially muscle loss is unknown. We wanted to study both the action of secreted factors from head and neck cancer (HNC) cell lines and circulating factors in HNC patients on skeletal muscle protein catabolism. METHODS: Conditioned media (CM) made from head and neck cancer cell lines and mix of sera from head and neck cancer (HNC) patients were incubated for 48 h with human myotubes. The atrophy and the catabolic pathway were monitored in myotubes. The patients were classified regarding their skeletal muscle loss observed at the outset of management. RESULTS: Tumor CM (TCM) was able to produce atrophy on myotubes as compared with control CM (CCM). However, a mix of sera from HNC patients was not able to produce atrophy in myotubes. Despite this discrepancy on atrophy, we observed a similar regulation of the catabolic pathways by the tumor-conditioned media and mix of sera from cancer patients. The catabolic response after incubation with the mix of sera seemed to depend on the muscle loss seen in patients. CONCLUSION: This study found evidence that the atrophy observed in HNC patients cannot be solely explained by a deficit in food intake.

RESUMEN

It is known that visual feedback by fluoroscopy can detect electrode array (EA) misrouting within the cochlea while robotized EA-insertion (rob-EAI) permits atraumatic cochlear implantation. We report here our unique experience of both fluoroscopy feedback and rob-EAI in cochlear implant surgery. We retrospectively analyzed a cohort of consecutive patients implanted from November 2021−October 2022 using rob-EAI, with the RobOtol®, to determine the quality of EA-insertion and the additional time required. Twenty-three patients (10 females, 61+/−19 yo) were tentatively implanted using robot assistance, with a rob-EAI speed < 1 mm/s. Only three cases required a successful revised insertion by hand. Under fluoroscopy (n = 11), it was possible to achieve a remote rob-EAI (n = 8), as the surgeon was outside the operative room, behind an anti-radiation screen. No scala translocation occurred. The additional operative time due to robot use was 18+/−7 min with about 4 min more for remote rob-EAI. Basal cochlear turn fibrosis precluded rob-EAI. In conclusion, Rob-EAI can be performed in almost all cases with a low risk of scala translocation, except in the case of partial cochlear obstruction such as fibrosis. Fluoroscopy also permits remote rob-EAI.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: To determine the importance of nutritional status, social status, and inflammatory status in the prognosis of head and neck cancer. STUDY DESIGN: Single-center retrospective study of prospectively collected data. SETTING: Tertiary referral center. METHODS: Ninety-two consecutive patients newly diagnosed for cancer of the upper aerodigestive tract without metastases were assessed at time of diagnosis for several prognostic factors. Nutritional status was assessed by the nutritional risk index, social status by the EPICES score, and inflammatory status by the systemic inflammatory response index. The primary endpoint was overall survival. RESULTS: In multivariable analysis, the main prognostic factors were the TNM classification (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.34, P = .002, for stage T3-4), malnutrition as assessed by the nutritional risk index (HR = 3.64, P = .008, for severe malnutrition), and a systemic inflammatory response index score ≥1.6 (HR = 3.32, P = .02). Social deprivation was not a prognostic factor. CONCLUSION: Prognosis in head and neck cancer is multifactorial; however, malnutrition and inflammation are important factors that are potentially reversible by early intervention.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: To assess the impact of nutritional status on tolerance to induction chemotherapy by docetaxel, cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (ICT) in head and neck cancer (HNC). METHODS: Ninety-two HNC patients were included. Toxicity was assessed according to common terminology criteria for adverse events. Nutritional status was assessed by body mass index (BMI), serum albumin, nutritional risk index (NRI), and CT scan (skeletal muscle mass index [SMI] at the first lumbar vertebral level). RESULTS: Before treatment, average BMI was 22.7 ± 4.6 kg/m2 , serum albumin 38.7 ± 5.8 g/L, NRI 97.6 ± 10.6, and SMI 36.4 ± 7.9 cm2 /m2 . After treatment, BMI was 23 ± 4.5, serum albumin 30.2 ± 7.1, and NRI 88.1 ± 9.2. During ICT, 52 (62%) patients developed at least one toxicity ≥ Grade 3. Pre-treatment SMI was the only predictive factor of toxicity irrespective of BMI (p = 0.04). CONCLUSION: Low skeletal muscle mass is a predictive factor of toxicity to ICT in HNC.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Acute posterior lingual abscess is rare, but may potentially compromise the airway acutely. OBJECTIVE: Lingual abscesses call for prompt and aggressive management because they are potentially life-threatening infections. Anterior lingual abscess (the most common) and posterior third lingual abscess must be differentiated. CASE REPORT: A young man who experienced the beginnings of dyspnea and total aphagia presented to the Emergency Department. A posterior lingual abscess was identified on computed tomography scan. DISCUSSION: Multi-antimicrobial therapy is the cornerstone of treatment. Surgical drainage is also of critical importance for preventing deeper spread of the infection. CONCLUSION: We present this case to increase awareness among emergency physicians and head and neck surgeons of the clinical findings of acute abscess of the base of the tongue, which can be difficult to diagnose clinically. Imaging of the oral cavity and pharynx is the key to the diagnosis, and the key to choosing the best surgical strategy.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Numerous techniques for closure of the anterior skull base in cancer patients have a high success rate but management of failure is poorly documented. OBJECTIVES: To standardize the post-operative follow-up after reconstruction surgery of the anterior skull base after removal for sinonasal carcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective review of failure of anterior skull base reconstruction between 2005 and 2018 in a multicenter setting. RESULTS: Twenty four patients were included. Reconstruction failure was detected by a cerebrospinal (CSF) leak in 79.2%, by an infectious complication without CSF leak (i.e. meningitis) in 12.5%, and in 8.3% by extensive pneumocephalus. Failure was observed during the first week after surgery in 75% of patients, in the second week in 21%, and in 4% after day 15. The delay in discovery of the failure was associated with multilayer reconstruction (p=.03). Failure was treated surgically in 54% of the patients and medically in 46%, with a similar success rate (85 vs. 100%). CONCLUSION AND SIGNIFICANCE: After carcinologic resection of the anterior skull base, monitoring should be systematic during the first postoperative week. Surgical management of failure is not always necessary.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: To describe the characteristics of the largest European study of MEC of salivary glands and to determine the prognostic factors for overall and disease free survival. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with MEC were prospectively included in the Réseau d'Expertise Français sur les Cancers ORL Rares (REFCOR, French Network of Rare Head and Neck Tumors) database between 2009 and 2015. RESULTS: A total of 292 patients were included. Tumors were classified as low grade in 175 cases (60%), intermediate in 39 (13%) and high grade in 78 (27%). Median follow-up was 26 months. The 5-year OS and DFS rates were respectively 83% and 69%. In multivariate analysis, age (p = 0.004), diabetes (p = 0.02) and advanced stage (p = 0.03) were found to have a significant negative impact on OS. Diabetes (p = 0.001), alcohol consumption (p = 0.003) and advanced stage (p = 0.001) were found to have a significant negative impact on DFS. Compare to low grade, high grade tended to have a negative impact on OS (p = 0.05) and had a significant effect on DFS (0.002) while intermediate grade had no significant influence on survival. The surgical treatment had a positive impact on both OS (p = 0.00005) and DFS (p = 0.0005). Postoperative radiotherapy had no impact in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION: Advanced clinical stage, high grade tumor, high age, the impossibility of carrying out a complete surgical resection, and diabetes are the main prognostic factors in this prospective series of patients with MEC. Such findings open new research perspectives on the influence of these components on initial patient care.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: PENTOCLO treatment, associating pentoxifylline, tocopherol, and clodronate, resolves radiation-induced fibrosis. The main aim of the present study was to prospectively assess efficacy in mandibular osteoradionecrosis (ORN). STUDY DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. METHODS: Twenty-seven patients with mandibular ORN were included in the Pentoclauvergne Study between January 2014 and February 2016. After an initial 28-day phase of antibiotic, antifungal, and corticosteroid therapy, they received the PENTOCLO association daily until cure or a maximum of 24 months. The main assessment criterion was exposed bone area (EBA); secondary criteria comprised the Subjective, objective, management, and analytic (SOMA) score. RESULTS: Under PENTOCLO, EBA decreased by 28% at 2 months, 55% at 6 months, and 92% at 24 months; the SOMA score decreased by 23%, 38%, and 50%, respectively. A complete treatment course cured 76.5% of patients at a mean 9.6 months. CONCLUSIONS: PENTOCLO is a simple, well-tolerated, and effective treatment for mandibular ORN. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4 Laryngoscope, 130:E559-E566, 2020.
