Management of Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma (JNA) has undergone remarkable change in last few years. To tackle angiofibroma in a successful way, physicians need the right tools, sound knowledge of endoscopic and radiologic anatomy, and refined surgical skills. The key to successful management lies in right

This is a case-based learning activity designed to outline the workup and management of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with polyps, with an emphasis on the role of biologic therapies (e.g. dupilumab and omalizumab) in patients with more severe disease and/or refractory to

The assessment of outcomes after treatment has evolved over the past few decades, with new tools and techniques available for outcomes measurement. Also, there is an appropriately increased focus on the assessment of quality of life and outcomes from the perspective of the patient, after

We return this year with another session bringing you all new clinical cases. The format of this lecture is a practical one: based on a discussion of clinical case scenarios of patients with cholesteatoma. Pre-operative clinical pictures, radiologic imaging, pre-operative audiometric tests, and

Parotid gland neoplasms are the most common salivary gland tumors and while most are benign, the parotid gland is also the most frequent site of parotid gland malignancy. Understanding the workup and management of parotid masses is a fundamental core knowledge for all otolaryngologists. This

The introduction of transnasal endoscopic surgery has revolutionized the surgical treatment of several malignant tumors which are accessible via a transnasal route. The main target anatomic areas are the sinonasal tract, the nasopharynx, and the clivus. Malignancies originating in these sites are characterized by a

Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) effects the general pediatric population in the United States. However, in specific populations, the prevalence can be much higher. For example, in cerebral palsy the prevalence is over 50 and in Trisomy 21, nearly all patients are diagnosed with OSA
