Background: Clinicians and researchers share their projects in congresses, which are collaborative meetings that enhance the dissemination of information among scientists. Furthermore, critical evaluations of their colleagues help the progress of their research. However, the main focus of any research is publication. In this study, we assess the effect of the European Society o...

Background: Olfactory dysfunction became increasingly popular as an early symptom of COVID-19 infection, associated with a positive outcome and milder course of the disease. Initial studies suggest that interleukin-6 directly damages the olfactory bulb, thus playing an important role in the mechanism of anosmia. Higher plasma levels of interleukin-6, on the other hand, are rela...

Background: In this study, we aimed to investigate the functional and anatomical outcomes of the intact canal wall approach compared to modified canal wall down tympa nomas toide ctomy , for assessing the benefits or disadvantages of canal wall preservation. Methods: Patients who had a tympanomastoidectomy operation either with intact canal wall or canal wall down approach were retrospectively ...

Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate whether there is any correlation among House–Brackmann scoring, elect roneu ronog raphy , and diffusion tensor imaging values of the cisternal and internal auditory canal segment of facial nerve and to examine diagnostic, prognostic, and grading usefulness of diffusion tensor imaging in patients with Bell’s palsy. 

Background: This study aimed to establish average laryngeal measurements in the Turkish pediatric population and measure the narrowest portion of the pediatric airway.

Methods: The laryngeal measurements of 88 pediatric patients between the ages 0 and 17 were retrospectively obtained from neck computed tomography scans performed betwe...

Present-day electrode design is the result of 40 years of continuous effort of collaboration between cochlear implant manufacturers and clinicians. There are currently 2 types of electrodes on the market: straight and pre-curved. It is accepted that preservation of intra-cochlear delicate structures should be attempted even in non-hearing preservation surgery. This demands a flexible electrode ...

Nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma is a benign tumor of the sinonasal tract that arises in young and older children. Here, we report a rare clinical case of nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma in a 15-year-old patient. After performing the necessary diagnostic tests, surgical treatment was recommended for the patient. In the course of surgery, a mass in the area of the anterior cells of the laby...
