Assessing the Quality of Patient Information for Vestibular Schwannoma
Patients frequently use the internet to gain information and make decisions about their health condi- tions. This work aims to assess the quality of information about Vestibular Schwannoma on a popular video sharing platform, YouTube (Alphabet Inc.).
The protympanum, or bony portion of the eustachian tube (ET), is a middle ear space that lies anterior to the mesotympanum. The space is also confluent with the epitym- panum superiorly, hypotympanum inferiorly, and the cartilaginous ET anteriorly.
The oval window region has recently been identified as a potential route for drug diffusion into the inner ear. Locally applied gadolinium and trimethylphenylam- monium (TMPA) have been shown to directly diffuse into the vestibule through the oval window region.
The stapedius muscle, tendon, and pyramidal eminence are structures within the retrotympanum. In cholesteatoma surgery, the retrotympanum is a common site of residual disease.
Endoscopic Stapedectomy Australian Experience from a Large Australian Center
Introduction: Endoscopic stapes surgery is a technically demanding procedure that is increasing in popularity. Surgi- cal outcomes and complication rates have been demonstrated to be comparable to traditional microscopic techniques.
Balloon dilation eustachian tuboplasty for dilatory dysfunction
Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) is a common clinical condition encountered by otolaryngologists. The severity and duration of symptoms range from the mild and transient to the chronic and severe along with secondary pathologies.
Assessing the quality of youtube for cholesteatoma
Cholesteatoma is common chronic ear condition that usually requires surgical treatment and long-term follow-up. The In- ternet helps patients find information about their medical conditions and assists in shared clinical decision making.
X-ray microtomography study of otic capsule deficiencies
The postulated sites of perilymph fistulae involve otic capsule deficiencies, in particular, at the fissula ante fenestram. Histological studies have revealed this to be a channel extending from the middle ear, and becoming continuous with the inner ear medial to the anterior limit of the oval window.
Tympanic membrane perforations: the safe versus the unsafe
Tympanic membrane perforations are seen frequently in general practice. Some perforations can be associated with significant disease, such as cholesteatoma which may cause major morbidity.
ONE in six Australians are currently affected by hearing loss, and as many as one in four are anticipated to be affected by 2050 as the population ages.
Pediatric cholesteatoma occurs in one of two forms: congenital cholesteatoma or acquired cholesteatoma, associated with a focal defect in the tympanic membrane.
Endoscopic ear surgery (EES) with the wide viewing angle of modern endoscopes, overcomes many of the limitations of the traditional microscopic approaches.
Since its first description by Eustachius, the concept of the Eustachian tube as partly bony structure has taken deep roots in our understanding of its anatomy...
Tonsillectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures in the United States, with more than 530 000 procedures performed annually in children younger than 15 years...
