Pott's puffy tumor is a significant complication of frontal sinusitis that leads to frontal bone osteomyelitis and can be associated with frontal swelling, subperiosteal abscess, and intracranial abscess. It may be associated with antecedent trauma and typically presents in adolescents. Orbital involvement is rarely reported. We describe the case of a 15-year-old male who presented after blunt facial trauma with orbital hematoma and developed Pott's puffy tumor with orbital cellulitis and subperiosteal abscess. Management required a collaborative, multidisciplinary effort that yielded a good outcome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was, through comprehensive, multilevel models of social determinants of health (SDoH) factors, including the Yost Index socioeconomic status (SES) score, to determine whether community- or individual-level SDoH factors quantifiably influence pediatric CNS tumor disparities more in care and prognosis across the US., Methods: The authors performed a retrospective cohort study assessing specialized Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results data of pediatric patients (≤ 19 years old) with nonmalignant and malignant tumors of the CNS from 2010 to 2018. A census-level Yost Index SES score and rurality/urbanicity measures were incorporated with individual characteristics of age, sex, and race/ethnicity. Chi-square analyses for clinical and demographic descriptions, multivariate Cox proportional hazards logistic regressions for survival, and multivariate logistic regressions for resection, radiation treatment, treatment delay, and advanced staging on preliminary presentation were performed., Results: Across 18,236 patients, age-adjusted analyses showed substantially increased mortality risk among 6 of 11 subtypes (highest hazard ratio [HR] 1.91, 95% CI 1.59-2.28, p < 0.001 for glioma NOS), decreased odds of first-line therapy among 7 of 18 subtypes (lowest OR 0.36, 95% CI 0.11-0.97, p = 0.043 for resection of choroid plexus papilloma), increased odds of treatment delay among 6 of 11 subtypes (highest OR 2.47, 95% CI 1.01-6.49, p = 0.047 for germinoma), increased odds of advanced staging on preliminary presentation among 3 of 10 malignant subtypes (highest OR 2.56, 95% CI 1.27-5.52, p = 0.008 for malignant ependymomas), and increased odds of receipt of radiation therapy among 3 of 10 malignant subtypes (highest OR 2.30, 95% CI 1.87-2.84, p < 0.001) observed across many disease subtypes contributed by certain individual- and community-level SDoH factors., Conclusions: Through comprehensive analyses combining individual- and community-level SDoH factors, this study identified detrimental interrelated SDoH associations with poorer care and prognosis of pediatric patients with CNS tumors, delineating how both levels differentially contribute to observed disparities across different subtypes.

- Abstract
Introduction: Technology and internet access have become increasingly integrated into healthcare as the primary platform for health-related information and provider-patient communication. Disparities in access to digital resources exist in the United States and have been shown to impact health outcomes in various head and neck malignancies. Our objective is to evaluate the associations of digital inequity on health outcomes in patients with salivary gland cancer (SGC)., Methods: The Digital Inequity Index (DII) was developed using 17 census-tract level variables obtained from the American Community Survey and Federal Communications Commission. Variables were categorized as digital infrastructure or sociodemographic (e.g., non-digital) and scored based on relative rankings across all US counties. Scores were assigned to patients from the Surveillance-Epidemiology-End Results (SEER) database diagnosed with SGC between 2013 and 2017 based on county-of-residence. Regressions were performed between DII score and outcomes of surveillance time, survival time, tumor stage at time of diagnosis, and treatment modality., Results: Among 9306 SGC-patients, increased digital inequity was associated with advanced-staging at presentation (OR: 1.04, 95% CI: 1.01-1.07, p = 0.033), increased odds of chemotherapy receipt (OR: 1.05, CI: 1.01-1.10, p = 0.010), and decreased odds of surgical intervention (OR: 0.94, 95% CI: 0.91-0.98, p = 0.003) after accounting for traditional sociodemographic factors. Increased digital inequity was also associated with decreased surveillance time and survival periods., Conclusions: Digital inequity significantly and independently associates with negative health and treatment outcomes in SGC patients, highlighting the importance of directed efforts to address these seldom-investigated drivers of health disparities., (© 2024 The Author(s).

- Abstract
Fetal airway obstruction in one twin of a diamniotic pregnancy presents unique challenges. Very few cases of ex-utero-intrapartum-treatment (EXIT) procedures for twin pregnancy have been reported and only in dichorionic pregnancies. We report a singular methodology for EXIT-to-airway procedures in two pregnancies involving monochorionic and dichorionic twins. Two cases of EXIT-to-airway in twin pregnancies were performed in 2018 and 2019 at a regional fetal treatment center. Case 1 involved a giant cervical teratoma in a monochorionic-diamniotic twin pregnancy with preterm labor at 29 weeks. Case 2 involved a dichorionic-diamniotic pregnancy with a large cervical lymphatic malformation with preterm labor at 36 weeks. In each case, the polyhydramnios caused the affected twin's amniotic sac to be the presenting sac for the surgical approach. Bronchoscopy and successful intubation was completed after 22 and 10 minutes of uteroplacental bypass, respectively. The bystander twins were delivered second without intubation and resuscitated without perinatal distress. EXIT-to-airway appears to be a reasonable option for twins including monochorionic pregnancies, via delivery of the affected twin first followed by delivery of the bystander twin. Thoughtful preparation and counseling by an experienced multidisciplinary team permits an EXIT-to-airway approach for twin pregnancies even in an emergent setting., Competing Interests: Conflict of Interest None declared., (The Author(s).

- Abstract
Objective: Patients with fibrous dysplasia (FD) of the anterior skull base can experience progressive visual loss and impairment. The authors reviewed their experience with endonasal decompression of the optic nerve (ON) in this patient population. Endoscopic ON decompression (EOND) is a feasible surgical approach for children with FD and visual deficit due to structural ON compression., Methods: Electronic medical records of children between 1 and 17 years of age with unilateral FD of the anterior skull base and concomitant ON compression, who required EOND between 2017 and 2022 (n = 4), were reviewed for demographic data, both pre- and postoperative imaging, and evaluations by an otolaryngologist, neurosurgeon, and ophthalmologist in a multidisciplinary fashion., Results: EOND was found to be a safe and effective surgery for children with FD. Visual acuity was stable in 80% of the eyes postoperatively. Visual fields improved in 40% of the eyes and remained stable in the rest., Conclusions: EOND is beneficial for progressive optic neuropathy that is unresponsive to steroid therapy and can prevent permanent disability if performed prior to irreversible damage to the nerve. EOND can decompress the edematous ON with proper exposure of the optic canal and orbital apex, without any major complications.

- Abstract
Importance: Current guidelines recommend total thyroidectomy for the majority of pediatric thyroid cancer owing to an increased prevalence of multifocality. However, there is a paucity of information on the exact prevalence and risk factors for multifocal disease-knowledge that is critical to improving pediatric thyroid cancer management and outcomes., Objective: To determine the prevalence and risk factors for multifocal disease in pediatric patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC)., Design, Setting, and Participants: This multicenter retrospective cohort study included patients 18 years or younger who underwent thyroidectomy for PTC from 2010 to 2020 at 3 tertiary pediatric hospitals and 2 tertiary adult and pediatric hospitals in the US., Main Outcomes and Measures: Demographic and clinical variables, including age, family history of thyroid cancer, autoimmune thyroiditis, prior radiation exposure, cancer predisposition syndrome, tumor size, tumor and nodal stage, PTC pathologic variant, and preoperative imaging, were assessed for association with presence of any multifocal, unilateral multifocal, and bilateral multifocal disease using multiple logistic regression analyses. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator analysis was performed to develop a model of variables that may predict multifocal disease., Results: Of 212 patients, the mean age was 14.1 years, with 23 patients 10 years or younger; 173 (82%) patients were female. Any multifocal disease was present in 98 (46%) patients, with bilateral multifocal disease in 73 (34%). Bilateral multifocal disease was more accurately predicted on preoperative imaging than unilateral multifocal disease (48 of 73 [66%] patients vs 9 of 25 [36%] patients). Being 10 years or younger, T3 tumor stage, and N1b nodal stage were identified as predictors for multifocal and bilateral multifocal disease., Conclusions and Relevance: This large, multicenter cohort study demonstrated a high prevalence of multifocal disease in pediatric patients with PTC. Additionally, several potential predictors of multifocal disease, including age and advanced T and N stages, were identified. These risk factors and the high prevalence of multifocal disease should be considered when weighing the risks and benefits of surgical management options in pediatric patients with PTC.

- Abstract
Importance: The incidence of Graves disease (GD) is rising in children, and adequate care of these patients requires a multidisciplinary approach. Whether patients are seen in the context of endocrinology, nuclear medicine, or surgery, it is important to know the nuances of the therapeutic options in children., Observations: Given the rarity of GD in children, it is important to recognize its various clinical presenting signs and symptoms, as well as the tests that may be important for diagnosis. The diagnosis is typically suspected clinically and then confirmed biochemically. Imaging tests, including thyroid ultrasonography and/or nuclear scintigraphy, may also be used as indicated during care. It is important to understand the indications for and interpretation of laboratory and imaging tools so that a diagnosis is made efficiently and unnecessary tests are not ordered. Clinicians should be well-versed in treatment options to appropriately counsel families. There are specific scenarios in which medical therapy, radioactive iodine therapy, or surgery should be offered., Conclusions and Relevance: The diagnosis and treatment of pediatric patients with GD requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving pediatric specialists in the fields of endocrinology, ophthalmology, radiology, nuclear medicine, and surgery/otolaryngology. Antithyroid drugs are typically the first-line treatment, but sustained remission rates with medical management are low in the pediatric population. Consequently, definitive treatment is often necessary, either with radioactive iodine or with surgery, ideally performed by experienced, high-volume pediatric experts. Specific clinical characteristics, such as patients younger than 5 years or the presence of a thyroid nodule, may make surgery the optimal treatment for certain patients.

- Abstract
Importance: Initial data suggest the effectiveness of oncogene-specific targeted therapies in inducing tumor regression of diverse cancers in children and adults, with minimal adverse effects., Observations: In this review, preliminary data suggest that systemic therapy may be effective in inducing tumor regression in pediatric patients with unresectable invasive thyroid cancer. Although most pediatric patients with thyroid cancer initially present with operable disease, some children have extensive disease that poses substantial surgical challenges and exposes them to higher than usual risk of operative complications. Extensive disease includes thyroid cancer that invades the trachea or esophagus or encases vascular or neural structures. Previous efforts to manage extensive thyroid cancer focused on surgery with near-curative intent. With the recent development of oncogene-specific targeted therapies that are effective in inducing tumor regression, with minimal drug-associated adverse effects, there is an opportunity to consider incorporating these agents as neoadjuvant therapy. In patients with morbidly invasive regional metastasis or with hypoxia associated with extensive pulmonary metastasis, neoadjuvant therapy can be incorporated to induce tumor regression before surgery and radioactive iodine therapy. For patients with widely invasive medullary thyroid cancer, in whom the risk of surgical complications is high and the likelihood of surgical remission is low, these agents may replace surgery depending on the response to therapy and long-term tolerance., Conclusions and Relevance: With oncogene-specific targeted therapy that is associated with substantial tumor regression and low risk of adverse reactions, there appears to be an opportunity to include children with advanced invasive thyroid cancer in clinical trials exploring neoadjuvant targeted oncogene therapy before or instead of surgery.

Purnell CA, Skladman R, Alden TD, Corcoran JF, and Rastatter JC
- Abstract
Objective: Up to 10% of midline nasal dermoid cysts have intracranial extension. Previous techniques of excision include frontal and frontonasal craniotomies via a coronal approach, combined with a direct cutaneous excision of the dermoid cyst. While the coronal incision allows for wide visualization, it carries significant risks of transfusion, blood loss, and scarring. The authors present an alternative technique in which access is gained through a midline extension of the dermoid cyst excision that provides direct access for a keyhole frontal craniotomy., Methods: The authors utilize a nasal bone osteotomy, pericranial flap, and keyhole-type craniotomy performed through a nasal midline incision for the treatment of nasal dermoid cysts with intracranial extension. They performed a retrospective chart review of all patients with nasal dermoid cysts treated at the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago from 2009 to 2017. Patient demographic data, operative data, and in- and outpatient complication data were collected., Results: In 10 patients with cyst extension near or into the intracranial cavity (7 with true intracranial extension), the nasal osteotomy technique was performed. The mean blood loss was 13 ml, with a 0% transfusion rate. The mean length of inpatient stay was 1 day. A durotomy was made and repaired as part of the dermoid cyst dissection in 3 patients. One patient underwent intraoperative placement of a lumbar drain. The mean operative time was 228 minutes. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications, including the need for a reoperation. No patients had any long-term complications, and no patients have had dermoid cyst recurrence. The appearance of the scar was acceptable in all cases., Conclusions: The midline approach to nasal dermoid cysts with intracranial extension is safe and results in limited blood loss, short operative times, and short lengths of inpatient hospital stay. This is a viable technique for the treatment of this challenging pathology.

- Abstract
Importance: Limited information exists about the short-term morbidity of parotidectomy in children. This information is important when counseling parents and planning treatment for children with parotid masses., Objective: To examine 30-day perioperative outcomes after parotidectomy in the pediatric population., Design, Setting, and Participants: A prospective case series of 87 pediatric patients who underwent parotidectomy from January 1, 2008, to June 30, 2015, performed by 2 pediatric head and neck specialists in a tertiary care pediatric hospital., Main Outcomes and Measures: Thirty-day perioperative complications, postoperative facial nerve function, reoperation rates, and readmission rates were the main outcome measures. Secondary outcome measures were operative time and length of stay., Results: Ninety parotidectomies (71 superficial and 19 total) were performed in 87 patients (48 male and 39 female). Mean age at operation was 8.3 years. Eighty-five of the cases (94%) were performed for benign disease. Mean operative time was 4.09 hours (range, 1.58-10.43 hours) and mean length of stay was 2.24 days (range, 0.97-4.33 days). Immediate postoperative facial weakness was observed in 32 cases (36%); 10 of these cases (31%) involved the upper branch and 29 (90%) involved the lower branch. Immediate postoperative paresis occurred more often after total parotidectomy vs superficial parotidectomy (11 of 19 [58%] vs 21 of 71 [30%]; P = .03) but was unrelated to the etiologic cause of the patients' parotid disease. Thirty of 32 cases (94%) of facial nerve weakness were transient, and the mean time to resolution was 61 days. Eleven complications (12%) other than facial nerve weakness occurred during the 30-day postoperative period. Three patients (3%) required a return to the operating room for hematoma or wound dehiscence. One patient (1%) required readmission in the 30-day postoperative period for contralateral parotitis., Conclusions and Relevance: We observed a low rate of 30-day perioperative complications as a result of superficial or total parotidectomy for pediatric parotid disease. Major adverse events included return to the operating room and 1 wound infection. Only 1 patient required readmission. Transient weakness of the facial nerve is relatively common, observed more often in the lower division, and can be expected to resolve in most patients by an average of 2 months.

- Abstract
Importance: There is a perceived increase in the number of microdirect laryngoscopies and bronchoscopies (MLBs) required on premature infants, infants with syndromic conditions, and those with complex congenital heart defects. Determining which neonates with certain underlying conditions require more aggressive interventions like tracheostomy, intubation, or supraglottoplasty might be useful for future preoperative planning and counseling of the families of newborns with complex medical conditions involving the airway., Objectives: To evaluate features and findings in neonates undergoing MLB in the first 28 days of life over a 10-year period and compare these findings with past publications., Design, Setting, and Participants: Retrospective case series of 162 consecutive patients 28 days or younger undergoing MLB between January 1, 2002, and December 31, 2012, at a tertiary care children's hospital., Intervention: Microdirect laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy., Main Outcomes and Measures: Frequencies of common indications and findings in neonates undergoing MLB. To determine if findings on MLB had significant associations with gestational age, neonates with cardiac defects or syndromic conditions, and neonates who had at least 1 other comorbid condition, χ2 and Fisher exact tests were performed. Similar associations were analyzed between neonates with other comorbid conditions and need for interventions such as supraglottoplasty, tracheostomy, and intubation., Results: Of the 162 patients, 101 were male (55.5%). The mean age at their procedure was 14.1 days. The mean weight of patients at MLB was 3.31 kg, and 32 (17.6%) were premature. Congenital conditions were noted in 114 patients (62.6%), and of these, 55 (30.2%) had congenital cardiac disease and 30 (16.4%) had syndromic conditions. Common indications for surgery were respiratory distress (n = 145 [79.7%]), stridor (n = 102 [56.0%]), and cyanosis or an acute life-threatening event (n = 67 [36.8%]). The most common findings at the time of surgery were laryngomalacia (n = 71 [39.0%]), subglottic stenosis (n = 58 [31.9%]), and tracheomalacia (n = 47 [25.8%]). Seventeen neonates (9.3%) required a tracheostomy, and 11 (6.0%) required a supraglottoplasty. Neonates with congenital heart defects were statistically significantly more likely to require long-term intubation (n = 9 [16.4%]; P = .03). Those with syndromic conditions were more likely to require long-term intubation and tracheostomy (n = 7 [23.3%] [P = .004] and n = 7 [23.3%] [P = .01], respectively). Premature infants who required MLB had a decreased incidence of laryngomalacia (n = 7 [21.9%]; P = .03), and those with comorbid conditions, an increased incidence (n = 43 [33.3%]; P = .01). There was minimal morbidity directly associated with the procedure., Conclusions and Relevance: Neonates undergoing MLB most commonly presented with respiratory distress and stridor and were most commonly found to have laryngomalacia and subglottic stenosis. More than half of the patients studied had other comorbid conditions. Those with cardiac defects and syndromic conditions were more likely to require intubation, and those with syndromic conditions were more likely to eventually undergo tracheostomy.

- Abstract
Objective: Determine the prevalence of synchronous airway lesions (SALs) in children younger than age 3 years undergoing adenoidectomy or adenotonsillectomy for sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) at Children’s Memorial Hospital., Design: Case series with chart review., Setting: Tertiary care pediatric hospital., Children: One hundred ten children 3 years of age or younger who underwent adenoidectomy or adenotonsillectomy along with a full-airway evaluation that included flexible fiber-optic laryngoscopy, direct laryngoscopy, and rigid bronchoscopy for SDB from January 2003 to January 2009., Outcome Measures: Prevalence of SALs and rate of SALs that required intervention., Results: Sixty-seven percent of children were found to have at least 1 SAL. Four children required surgical intervention for a SAL. There was no significant difference in preoperative respiratory distress index (RDI) between children with normal airway examinations compared with children with a SAL. There was no significant difference in the rate of SALs between children younger than 18 months old and those 18 to 36 months old., Conclusions: There is a high incidence of SALs in children younger than 3 years old with SDB. There was no significant difference in the rate of SALs in children younger than 18 months old compared with children 18 to 36 months old. The RDI determined by a polysomnography was not predictive of the presence of a SAL. Tracheal cobblestoning was the most common SAL discovered.
