Introduction CyberKnife (CK) radiosurgery is a treatment strategy for vestibular schwannoma (VS). Objectives To evaluate hearing preservation (HP) after CK for VS. Data Synthesis The study was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement, and it was registered at the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO, under number CRD42021250300). The inclusion criteria were based on the population, intervention, comparison, outcome, timing and study design (PICOTS) strategy: population – patients with VS; intervention – CK; Comparison – none; Outcome – serviceable HP defined by Gardner and Robertson as grades I or II, or by the American Academy of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery as classes A or B; timing – mean follow-up longer than 1 year; and study design – retrospective or prospective studies. The exclusion criteria were: studies not published in English; studies published before January 2000 and after October 2021; and studies only including patients with neurofibromatosis type 2 or submitted to a previous treatment. The PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, LILACS, and IBECS databases were used and last searched on October 27th, 2021. Statistical heterogeneity was assessed using I2 statistics. The appraisal checklist was used to assess the risk of bias in the included studies. A total of 222 studies were analyzed, and 13 were included in the synthesis, which represents 493 participants with serviceable hearing before intervention. The mean HP rate after CK using a random effects model was of 68% (95% confidence interval [95%CI]: 59–76%) at a mean follow-up of 42.96 months. Conclusion The longer follow-up period was associated with a lower HP rate after CK radiosurgery for VS in the qualitative synthesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: Rare disease Background: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare and uncontrolled proliferation of dendritic cells of myeloid origin. The incidence of LHC was estimated at 5 cases per million children ages 0-15 years old. The most common places for this tumor are the jaw, vertebra, pelvis, and the extremities. The disease with multisystem involvement can present a mortality rate of 20% and one-third of children have multisystem involvement. We present a case with unusual bone involvement of the anterior cranial base with a challenging diagnosis and a complex surgical approach. Case Report: We report the case of a 6-year-old boy who manifested the disease with daily holocranial headache, worse in the frontal region and refractory to analgesia for 10 days, strabismus homonymous, diplopia, and right palpebral ptosis. The tumor affected the sphenoid sinus, internal carotid artery, and sella turcica, and made contact with the pituitary gland. A joint surgery with Otorhinolaryngology and Neurosurgery was performed by nasal endoscopic access to the skull base by means of the right medial turbinectomy (for the access) and right sphenoid opening, septectomy and opening of the left sphenoid to work with 4 hands and, after resection of lesion, inside the sphenoid. Conclusions: This patient had rare bone involvement from LCH and atypical clinical presentation next to the important and delicate structures of the anterior skull base, but had a satisfactory outcome.

(1) Background: Performance after Cochlear Implantation (CI) can vary depending on numerous factors. This study aims to investigate how meningitis or otosclerosis can influence CI performance. (2) Methods: Retrospective analysis of CI performance in patients with etiological diagnosis of meningitis or otosclerosis, comparing the etiologies and analyzing the image findings, along with electrode array insertion status and technique. (3) Results: Speech recognition in CI patients with otosclerosis improves faster than in patients with meningitis. Other features such as radiological findings, degree of cochlear ossification, surgical technique used and total or partial insertion of electrodes do not seem to be directly related to speech recognition test performance. (4) Conclusions: Patients should be warned that their postoperative results have a strong correlation with the disease that caused their hearing loss and that, in cases of meningitis, a longer duration of speech–language training may be necessary to reach satisfactory results.

ObjectivesTo analyse the results of children and adults with cochlear implants (CIs) in pure tone audiometry (PTA) and speech perception tests. Tests were performed in two ways: using loudspeakers in the sound booth (SB) and with direct audio input (DAI) employing the Cochlear Latin America BOX (CLABOX).MethodsFifty individuals (33 adults and 17 children) participated in the study, including children aged between 8 and 13 years; of these, 15 users had bilateral CIs, 35 had unilateral CIs, and all had severe to profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. All participants were evaluated in the SB with loudspeakers and the CLABOX with DAI. The following evaluations were conducted: PTA, speech recognition tests with the hearing in noise test (HINT).ResultsThe results for PTA and HINT conducted in SB and with CLABOX presented no significant difference between children and adults.ConclusionThe CLABOX tool presents a new possible method to evaluate PTA and speech recognition tests in adults and children, with results comparable to the conventional evaluation in the SB.

Introduction Understanding all the benefits of bimodality with self-assessment questionnaires on the effect of hearing on quality of life is still necessary. Objective To present whether bimodality still offers hearing benefits to the population who uses acoustic stimulation associated with electrical stimulation. Methods The present study included 13 participants aged between 16 and 80 years old who were users of cochlear implants from Cochlear Corporation and hearing aids. All patients underwent the Hearing in Noise Test, and their visual analog scale score was obtained. Four-tone means were collected, and the participants answered the Speech, Spatial and Hearing Qualities questionnaire. Results Bimodal users had an average sentence recognition rate of 76.0% in silence and 67.6% in fixed noise, and the signal-to-noise ratio in adaptive noise was +2.89dB. In addition, a lower level of difficulty was observed in the test using the visual analog scale. The domain with the highest average was auditory qualities (6.50), followed by spatial hearing (6.26) and hearing for speech (5.81). Individuals with an average between 50 and 70 dB of hearing level showed better sentence recognition in silence and noise. Conclusion Bimodal stimulation showed benefits for users with different degrees of hearing loss; however, individuals who presented greater hearing residue had better performance in speech recognition with noise and in silence in addition to a good perception of hearing quality.

Introduction: Tympanoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reconstruct the mechanisms of sound transmission in the middle ear. Objective: Analyze, from an audiological point of view, patients with chronic otitis media undergoing type 3 tympanoplasty major columella with total ossicular replacement titanium prosthesis or with cartilage graft stapes columella. Methods: This is a prospective analytical study, carried out at the otorhinolaryngology outpatient clinic in a tertiary care hospital, through the evaluation of 26 patients with chronic otitis media who underwent tympanoplasty using different materials for auditory rehabilitation such as titanium prostheses or cartilage autografts. Results: There was no statistically significant association between the group factors (cartilage or titanium reconstruction) and preoperative variables. There was no statistically significant association between the postoperative characteristics of the patients and the type of reconstruction. Neither subjective improvement (hearing improvement) nor residual perforation were associated with a type of material. The via factor was the only one that showed a statistically significant difference once air-conduction pathway improved more than bone-conduction pathway, decreasing the air-bone gap. Conclusion: There was no statistical difference between the two groups in relation to the audiometric improvement. There was hearing improvement in both groups. More studies must be done with a longer follow-up to better evaluate the outcome.

Introduction: In cases of autism spectrum disorders with severe to profound hearing loss, cochlear implant is a therapeutic option. Objective: To identify evidence in the scientific literature that the cochlear implant brings benefits to people with autism spectrum disorders with associated hearing loss. Methods: Systematic review of the literature based on the criteria recommended by PRISMA. The population, intervention, comparison, outcomes, study design, PICOS strategy, was used to define the eligibility criteria. The studies that met the inclusion criteria for this second stage were included in a qualitative synthesis. Each type of study was analyzed according to the Joanna Briggs Institute’s risk of bias assessment through the critical checklist for cohort studies, prevalence studies and critical criteria and case reports. Results: Four hundred and eighty-four articles were found in eight databases and 100 in the gray literature, mentioning the relationship between cochlear implants in patients with autism spectrum disorder and hearing loss. Twelve articles were read in full and 7 were selected for qualitative analysis in this systematic review. All seven articles were analyzed on the critical evaluation checklist. Four articles had a low risk of bias and three articles had a moderate risk of bias. In this study, were included 66 patients with autism spectrum disorder and hearing loss who received cochlear implant. Conclusion: This systematic review indicates that a cochlear implant can bring benefits to autism spectrum disorder patients with associated deafness.

Background: Recurrent facial nerve palsy, orofacial edema, and fissured tongue are a triad of manifestations that characterize a rare disorder named Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome. It is important to consider this syndrome when diagnosing atypical, unilateral, or bilateral facial palsies with characteristics of familial prevalence. There is no established outcome prediction for this disease and the syndrome does not have a specific duration or prospective timeline. Recurrent facial paralysis can require surgery and a multidisciplinary approach with regular follow-up. Case Report: We describe a 38-year-old woman presenting with a third episode of facial paralysis and discuss her pedigree chart and the treatment course chosen. After conservative treatment with oral corticosteroids, antiviral therapy, and motor physical therapy with no significant improvements, the patient underwent facial nerve decompression surgery with outstanding results. Eight months after surgery and intense postoperative physical therapy, the patient improved from grade VI to grade II palsy on the House-Brackmann Scale. The patient's older brother also presented a fissured tongue and had a history of 2 episodes of facial paralysis. The patient's son, mother, and sister also presented tongue fissuring but did not have any other clinical signs of the syndrome. Conclusions: Despite being rare, Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome is associated with a family inheritance and its diagnosis has prognostic implications. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to have suspicion of this disorder in order to improve quality of care and target the treatment accordingly. Surgical treatment in these cases seems to be an excellent choice to treat current facial paralysis and prevent further episodes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction Tinnitus is a frequent symptom in cochlear implant patients, often reported as persistent and disabling in implant candidates. Tinnitus is rarely considered in the preoperative evaluation of patients who are eligible for cochlear implantation. Many studies have shown that a cochlear implant leads to a significant change in the perception of tinnitus. Objective To identify evidence in the scientific literature indicating that cochlear implant in eligible patients with tinnitus can improve tinnitus perception. Methods One hundred forty articles were found from nine databases, and 20 articles from the gray literature mentioned the relationship between cochlear implant and tinnitus perception in patients eligible for cochlear implant. The PICOS (population, intervention, comparison, and outcome) strategy, was used to define the eligibility criteria. The studies that met the inclusion criteria for this second step were included in a qualitative synthesis, and each type of study was analyzed using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklist for quasi-experimental studies and the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklist for randomized clinical trials. Results The full texts of 11 articles were read, and 6 studies were selected for the meta-analysis. The total sample size in the evaluated articles was 136 patients with tinnitus who were eligible for cochlear implantation. Conclusions Taken together, these findings support the feasibility of cochlear implantation to reduce the perception of tinnitus, thus providing a new perspective in the treatment of tinnitus in patients with hearing loss who are candidates for cochlear implantation. Resumo Introdução Zumbido é um sintoma frequente em pacientes com implante coclear, comumente relatado como persistente e incapacitante em candidatos ao procedimento. Entretanto, o zumbido raramente é considerado na avaliação pré-operatória de pacientes elegíveis para o implante coclear. Muitos estudos têm demonstrado que o implante coclear leva a uma mudança significativa na percepção do zumbido. Objetivo Identificar evidências na literatura científica que indiquem que o implante coclear em pacientes com zumbido pode melhorar a percepção. Método Foram encontrados 140 artigos em nove bases de dados e 20 artigos da literatura cinzenta mencionaram a relação entre o implante coclear e a percepção do zumbido em pacientes elegíveis para o procedimento. A estratégia PICOS (população, intervenção, comparação e desfecho) foi usada para definir os critérios de elegibilidade. Os estudos que atenderam aos critérios de inclusão para esta segunda etapa foram incluídos em uma síntese qualitativa e cada tipo de estudo foi analisado com a critical appraisal checklist for quasi-experimental studies e a critical appraisal checklist for randomized clinical trials do Joanna Briggs Institute. Resultados Foram lidos os textos completos de 11 artigos e selecionados 6 estudos para a metanálise. O tamanho total da amostra dos artigos avaliados foi de 136 pacientes com zumbido, elegíveis para o implante coclear. Conclusões Em conjunto, esses achados apoiam a viabilidade do implante coclear para reduzir a percepção do zumbido, proporcionam uma nova perspectiva no tratamento do zumbido em pacientes com deficiência auditiva candidatos a esse procedimento.

CAVERNOUS hemangioma ,MAXILLARY sinus ,MAXILLARY artery ,PARANASAL sinuses ,NASAL cavity ,NASAL surgery - Abstract
Objective: Rare disease Background: Hemangiomas are commonly located in the head and neck and rarely in the paranasal sinuses. These are benign vascular lesions, but with an increased risk of bleeding. The surgical approach must have detailed prior planning, given the increased risk of intraoperative bleeding. We herein describe the case of a 32-year-old male patient with recurrent epistaxis, nasal obstruction, and facial deformity due to a giant cavernous hemangioma successfully treated by endoscopic sinus surgery. Case Report: A 32-year-old man had nasal obstruction and intermittent epistaxis for 2 months. Physical examination also revealed facial deformity with enlargement of the nasal base and bulging in the maxillary region on the right. A soft and friable lesion occupying the entire right nasal cavity without bone erosion was observed on computed tomography (CT scan). Before surgery, the patient underwent angiographic evaluation, with evidence of main irrigation of the lesion by the right maxillary artery, which was then embolized. The patient underwent endoscopic nasal surgery. He maintained postoperative follow-up for 18 months, without recurrence of the lesion. Anatomopathological examination confirmed a cavernous hemangioma. Conclusions: Cavernous hemangioma is a benign lesion of the paranasal sinuses. Due to non-specific clinical and radiological findings, its preoperative diagnosis is always challenging. The high index of suspicion of the malignancy should only be discarded after complete anatomopathological evaluation. A correct diagnosis is essential to avoid facial anatomical remodeling while excluding the diagnosis of other malignant lesions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The voice of individuals with hearing impairment has been widely described, and can be compromised in all levels of the phonatory system. Objective: To develop and validate an instrument for evaluating the voice of this population. Methods: The instrument underwent the validation steps suggested by the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Medical Outcomes Trust. The study sample consisted of seventy-eight Brazilian people with cochlear implants (experimental group) and 78 individuals with normal hearing (control group), divided in groups by age range — children from 3 to 5 years; children from 6 to 10 years and adults from 18 to 46 years. The study sample participated in a voice recording of the sustained vowel /a/, connected speech and spontaneous conversation, in which three voice specialists rated using the proposed instrument. It consists of visual-analog scales of suprasegmental aspects, respiratory-phonatory coordination, resonance, phonation, additional parameters and general vocal perception. Results: Evaluation by an expert committee and a pilot test established content validity. Reliability measures showed excellent test-retest reproducibility for the majority of the parameters. Analysis with the ROC curve showed that perceptual evaluation with the sustained vowel did not strongly differentiate individuals with cochlear implants from those with normal hearing, and the parameter “speech rate” did not differentiate the groups at all. For the connected speech and spontaneous conversation, the majority of the parameters differentiated the experimental group from the control group with an area under the curve ≥0.7. The cutoff values with maximum specificity and sensitivity were 30.5 for mild, 49.0 for moderate and 69.5 for intense deviation. Conclusions: The protocol for the evaluation of voice in subjects with hearing impairment, PEV-SHI, is a reliable and useful tool for assessing the particularities of the voice of individuals with hearing impairment treated with cochlear implants and can be used in research and clinical settings to standardize evaluation and facilitate information exchange among services. Resumo Introdução: A voz de indivíduos com deficiência auditiva tem sido amplamente descrita e pode estar comprometida em todos os níveis do sistema fonatório. Objetivo: Desenvolver e validar uma ferramenta para avaliar a voz dessa população. Método: A ferramenta foi submetida às etapas de validação sugeridas pelo Scientific Advisory Committee of the Medical Outcomes Trust. A amostra do estudo foi composta por 78 indivíduos brasileiros com implantes cocleares (grupo experimental) e 78 indivíduos com audição normal (grupo controle) divididos em grupos por faixa etária – crianças de 3 a 5 anos; crianças de 6 a 10 anos e adultos de 18 a 46 anos. Os participantes do estudo realizaram uma gravação de voz da vogal /a/ sustentada, fala encadeada e conversa espontânea, que foi avaliada por três especialistas em voz com o instrumento proposto. Este instrumento consistem em escalas visuais analógicas dos aspectos suprassegmentares da voz, coordenação pneumofonoarticulatória, ressoância, fonação, parâmetro adicional e impressão geral da qualidade vocal. Resultados: A avaliação por um comitê de especialistas e um teste-piloto estabeleceram a validade de conteúdo. Medidas de confiabilidade mostraram excelente reprodutibilidade teste-reteste para a maioria dos parâmetros. A análise com a curva ROC mostrou que a avaliação perceptivo-auditiva com a vogal sustentada não diferenciou significantemente os indivíduos com implante coclear daqueles com audição normal e o parâmetro “velocidade de fala” não diferenciou os grupos. Para a fala encadeada e conversa espontânea, a maioria dos parâmetros diferenciou o grupo experimental do grupo controle, com uma área sob a curva ≥ 0,7. Os valores de corte com máxima especificidade e sensibilidade foram 30,5 para desvio discreto, 49,0 para desvio moderado e 69,5 para desvio intenso. Conclusões: O protocolo de avaliação de voz do deficiente auditivo é uma ferramenta confiável e útil para avaliar as particularidades da voz de indivíduos com deficiência auditiva e implante coclear e pode ser utilizada em pesquisas e contextos clínicos para padronizar a avaliação e facilitar a troca de informações entre os serviços.

Issue: The findings in literature indicate inconsistency in the complications caused by the implant of electrodes in the cochlea; vestibular alterations and balance disorders are mentioned as the most likely. Purpose: To evaluate, in literature, through the results of multiple vestibular function tests, the effects of cochlear implant surgery on postural stability in adult patients and to analyze. Hypothesis: From the PICO strategy, where the Population focuses on adults, Intervention is cochlear implant surgery, Comparisons are between implanted patients, and Outcomes are the results of the assessment of cochlear function, the research question was formulated: Are there deficits in vestibular function in adults undergoing cochlear implant placement? Method: Systematic review based on cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional observational studies. Information sources: Databases between 1980 and 2021, namely, PubMed, Cinahl, Web Of Science, Cochrane, and Scopus. Search strategy using Mesh terms: "Adult," "Cochlear Implant," "Postural Balance," "Posturography," "Cochlear Implant," "Dizziness," "Vertigo," "Vestibular Functional Tests,"and "Caloric Tests." Populational inclusion criteria: studies with adult patients; intervention: cochlear implant placement surgery; comparison: analysis of a vestibular function with vestibular test results and pre- and postoperative symptoms; outcome: studies with at least one of the vestibular function tests, such as computerized vectoelectronystagmography (VENG), vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs), caloric test, video head impulse test (VHIT), head impulse test (HIT), videonystagmography, (VNG) and static and dynamic posturography. Exclusion criteria: studies without records of pre- and postoperative data collection and studies with populations under 18 years of age. Screening based on the reading of abstracts and titles was performed independently by two reviewers. In the end, with the intermediation of a third reviewer, manuscripts were included. Risk of bias analysis, performed by two other authors, occurred using the JBI "Critical Appraisal Checklist.". Results: Of the 757 studies, 38 articles met the inclusion criteria. VEMP was the most commonly used test by the studies (44.7%), followed by the caloric test (36.8%) and vHIT (23.6%). Most studies performed more than one test to assess vestibular function. Conclusion: Among all vestibular tests investigated, the deleterious effects on vestibular function after cochlear implant surgery were detected with statistical significance (P < 0.05) using VEMP and caloric test. Comparing abnormal and normal results after implant surgery, the vestibular apparatus was evaluated as having abnormal results after cochlear implant surgery only in the VEMP test. The other tests analyzed maintained a percentage mostly considered normal results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: Tinnitus can be a chronic symptom that brings disability and distress. Some studies suggested that gabapentin might be effective on tinnitus relief. The objective of the study is to perform a systematic review in order to evaluate the efficacy of oral gabapentin in patients with tinnitus. Methods: A literature search was conducted in English and following the recommendations from PRISMA. The terms used were: ("tinnitus" OR "subjective tinnitus") AND ("gabapentin"). The study selection was performed following the eligibility criteria in accordance to the PICOS (population, intervention, comparison, outcome, study design) strategy—patients with tinnitus; oral gabapentin; placebo; reduction of tinnitus severity questionnaires scores; prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial, respectively. The selected studies were included in qualitative synthesis. The studies were analyzed according to Joanna Briggs Institute's critical appraisal checklist for randomized controlled trials. Results: One hundred twenty-one studies were found in 9 databases and 8 studies were found in gray literature. After study selection, 6 articles were read in full. Then, 2 studies were excluded and 4 were included in qualitative synthesis. All 4 articles were analyzed according to critical evaluation checklist. Conclusions: There is insufficient evidence to recommend the use of gabapentin for patients with tinnitus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To test the hypothesis that caffeine can influence tinnitus, we recruited 80 patients with chronic tinnitus and randomly allocated them into two groups (caffeine and placebo) to analyze the self-perception of tinnitus symptoms after caffeine consumption, assuming that this is an adequate sample for generalization. Methods: The participants were randomized into two groups: one group was administered a 300-mg capsule of caffeine, and the other group was given a placebo capsule (cornstarch). A diet that restricted caffeine consumption for 24 hours was implemented. The participants answered questionnaires (the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory—THI, the Visual Analog Scale—VAS, the profile of mood state—POMS) and underwent examinations (tonal and high frequency audiometry, acufenometry (frequency measure; intensity measure and the minimum level of tinnitus masking), transient otoacoustic emissions—TEOAE and distortion product otoacoustic emissions—DPOAE assessments) at two timepoints: at baseline and after capsule ingestion. Results: There was a significant change in mood (measured by the POMS) after caffeine consumption. The THI and VAS scores were improved at the second timepoint in both groups. The audiometry assessment showed a significant difference in some frequencies between baseline and follow-up measurements in both groups, but these differences were not clinically relevant. Similar findings were observed for the amplitude and signal-to-noise ratio in the TEOAE and DPOAE measurements. Conclusions: Caffeine (300 mg) did not significantly alter the psychoacoustic measures, electroacoustic measures or the tinnitus-related degree of discomfort. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction The bone-anchored hearing aid (BAHA) is a bone conduction system that transmits the sound directly to the inner ear by surpassing the skin impedance and the subcutaneous tissue. It is indicated for patients with mixed, conductive and unilateral sensorineural hearing loss who did not benefit from conventional hearing aids (HAs). Although the benefits from BAHA are well demonstrated internationally, this field still lacks studies in Brazil. Objective To assess the auditory rehabilitation process in BAHA users through audiological, speech perception and tinnitus aspects. Methods Individuals with hearing loss were assessed before and after the implantation. The participants were subjected to pure tone audiometry in free field, functional gain audiometry, speech perception tests, tinnitus handicap inventory (THI) in open format, and to the visual analog scale (VAS). Results It was found that the participants benefited from the use of BAHA. The difference in the performance of the participants before and after the BAHA surgery was significant in terms of hearing acuity. There was no statistically significant difference in the speech perception tests. The tinnitus assessment showed that 80% of the participants scored slight tinnitus severity in THI after using a BAHA. Eighty percent of the participants classified their tinnitus as absent tomild in the VAS after the surgery. Conclusion Based on the results of the current study, we can conclude that the participants improved both the auditory perception and the tinnitus handicap. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Deafness is one of the most common communication disorders in humans. Approximately one out of every thousand infants is born with a significant hearing deficit. The prevalence of hearing loss increases dramatically with age. By age 65 years, one out of three of us will suffer from hearing impairment sufficient to interfere with the understanding of speech. Hearing impairment is a very heterogeneous disorder with a wide range of causes. Worldwide, estimates from the World Health Organization are that hearing loss affects 538 million people. Hearing loss may be classified into three types: sensorineural, involving the inner ear, cochlea, or the auditory nerve; conductive, when the outer or middle ear structures fail to optimally capture, collect, or transmit sound to the cochlea; and mixed loss, which is a combination of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss. In this chapter, we propose to briefly define each cause of hearing loss as follows: (1) outer ear causes (congenital, infection, trauma, tumor, dermatologic, and cerumen), (2) middle ear causes (congenital, eustachian tube dysfunction, infection, tumors, otosclerosis, tympanic membrane perforation, middle ear barotrauma, and vascular), and (3) inner ear causes (congenital or hereditary, presbycusis, infection, Ménière disease, noise exposure, inner ear barotrauma, trauma, tumors, endocrine/systemic/metabolic, autoimmune hearing loss, Iatrogenic, ototoxic, and neurogenic).

Pendred Syndrome (PS) is an autossomal recessive disorder characterized by sensorineural deafness, goiter and iodide organification defect. The hearing loss is associated with inner ear abnormalities, ranging from an isolated enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) to a typical coclear dysplasia. Mutations in the gene that encodes pendrin (SLC26A4), a chloride/iodide transporter, have been shown to be associated with PS. We describe the clinical and molecular characteristics of a large consanguineous family harboring a mutation in the SLC26A4 gene. The proband was a 26-year-old deaf Brazilian woman who presented a bulky multinodular goiter and hypothyroidism since puberty. Five other siblings were deaf: one brother had a similar phenotype, three siblings also had goiters but normal thyroid function tests, and one brother had only a subtle thyroid enlargement. Other 4 siblings had no thyroid or hearing disorder. Parents were first degree cousins and had normal hearing. The mother was healthy, except for subclinical hypothyroidism; the father was deceased. A perchlorate test in the proband showed a discharge of 21% of the incorporated iodide 2h after the administration of 1g of KClO4. Audiological examinations showed profound hearing loss in all deaf subjects; CT and MRI of the temporal bones showed EVA in all of them. Genomic DNA was isolated from whole blood, from the 6 affected and 4 unaffected siblings, the mother and control. The coding region of the PDS gene (exons 2-21), including exon/intron boundaries, were amplified by PCR and sequenced. A single base-pair (T) deletion at position 1197 of exon 10 was detected in homozygous state in the 6 deaf siblings. The mother and 2 unaffected siblings were heterozygous for this mutation, which has been described by Everett et al. The 1197delT mutation is predicted to result in a frameshift and a truncated protein. The existence of PS phenocopies and intrafamilial phenotypic variability are well documented. The definite diagnosis requires molecular analysis. Our study illustrates the value and challenges of mutational analysis in selected patients with PS. A syndrome de Pendred (SP) é uma doença autossômica recessiva caracterizada por surdez neurossensorial, bócio e defeito de organificação do iodo. A perda auditiva está associada a anormalidades do ouvido interno, desde a dilatação isolada do aqueduto vestibular (DAV) até uma típica displasia coclear. Mutações no gene que codifica a pendrina (SLC26A4), um transportador de cloreto/iodeto, têm sido associadas à SP. Descrevemos as características clínicas e moleculares de uma grande família consangüínea portadora de uma mutação no gene SLC26A4. O caso-índice era uma paciente do sexo feminino, brasileira, 26 anos, portadora de surdez congênita, que apresentava um volumoso bócio multinodular e hipotireoidismo desde a puberdade. Outros cinco irmãos eram surdos: um irmão tinha fenotipo semelhante, três também tinham bócio, porém com função tiroideana normal e um irmão tinha apenas um discreto aumento da tiróide. Outros quatro irmãos não apresentavam alteração tiroideana ou auditiva. Os pais eram primos de primeiro grau e tinham audição normal. A mãe era saudável, exceto por hipotireoidismo subclínico; o pai era falecido. O teste do perclorato no caso-índice revelou a liberação de 21% do iodo incorporado duas horas após a administração de 1 g de KClO4. Os exames audiológicos mostraram perda auditiva profunda em todos os indivíduos afetados; TC e RMN dos ossos temporais mostraram DAV em todos eles. O DNA genômico foi isolado do sangue total dos seis irmãos afetados e dos quatro não-afetados, da mãe e do controle. A região codificante do gene PDS (éxons 2-21), incluindo as junções éxon/íntron, foram amplificadas por PCR e seqüenciadas. Foi detectada a deleção de uma base (T) na posição 1197 do éxon 10, em homozigoze, nos seis irmãos afetados. A mãe e dois irmãos não-afetados eram heterozigotos para a mutação, que foi descrita inicialmente por Everett e cols. A mutação 1197delT provavelmente resulta em um erro de fase de leitura (frameshift) e em uma proteína truncada. A existência de fenocópias da SP e a variabilidade fenotípica intrafamiliar são bem conhecidas. O diagnóstico definitivo requer análise molecular. O presente estudo ilustra o valor e os desafios da análise mutacional em pacientes selecionados com SP.

A associação de distúrbios da audição e equilíbrio com enxaqueca é reconhecida desde a Grécia antiga quando Aretaeus da Capadócia em 131 a.C., fez uma descrição precisa e com detalhes desta ocorrência durante uma crise de enxaqueca. Uma revisão ampla das manifestações otoneurológicas da enxaqueca é apresentada, usando as mais recentes publicações com respeito à epidemiologia, apresentação clínica, fisiopatologia, métodos diagnósticos e manejo desta síndrome. OBJETIVO: Descrever a entidade clínica "Enxaqueca associada a Disfunção Auditivo-vestibular" no intuito de ajudar médicos otorrinolaringologistas e neurologistas no diagnóstico e no manejo clínico dessa doença. COMENTÁRIOS FINAIS: Uma forte associação existe entre sintomas otoneurológicos e enxaqueca, sendo a enxaqueca associada a disfunção auditivo-vestibular a causa mais comum de vertigem episódica espontânea (não-posicional). Os sintomas podem variar bastante entre pacientes tornando um desafio diagnóstico para o otorrinolaringologista. Esta entidade geralmente se apresenta com ataques de vertigem espontâneos ou posicionais, durando de segundos a dias com sintomas de enxaqueca associados. Uma melhor elucidação da ligação entre os mecanismos vestibulares centrais e os mecanismos da enxaqueca em si, além da descoberta de defeitos em canais iônicos em algumas causas de enxaqueca, ataxia e vertigem, podem levar a um entendimento maior da fisiopatologia da enxaqueca associada a disfunção auditivo-vestibular. The association between hearing and balance disorders with migraine is known since the times of the ancient Greeks, when Aretaeus from Cappadocia in 131 B.C, made an accurate and detailed description of this occurrence during a migraine episode. We present a broad review of migraine neurotological manifestations, using the most recent publications associated with epidemiology, clinical presentation, pathophysiology, diagnostic methods and treatment for this syndrome. AIM: to describe the clinical entity: "Migraine associated with auditory-vestibular dysfunction" in order to help otorhinolaryngologists and neurologists in the diagnosis and management of such disorder. FINAL REMARKS: There is a strong association between neurotological symptoms and migraine, and the auditory-vestibular dysfunction-associated migraine is the most common cause of spontaneous episodic vertigo (non-positional). Symptoms may vary broadly among patients, making it a diagnostic challenge to the otorhinolaryngologist. This entity usually presents with positional or spontaneous vertigo spells, lasting for seconds or days, associated with migraine symptoms. A better understanding of the relationship between central vestibular mechanisms and migraine mechanisms, besides the discovery of ionic channel disorders in some cases of migraine, ataxia and vertigo, may lead to a better understanding of migraine pathophysiology associated with audio-vestibular disorder.

Introduction: External auditory canal cholesteatoma (EAC) is a disease characterized by abnormal growth of the squamous epithelium, which may evolve with progressive bone destruction and involvement of adjacent structures. Objectives: The objective of this work is to illustrate from a case, the trauma-related EAC cholesteatoma. Resumed report: G.S.S, 13 years old, with a history of perforating trauma in the left EAC in october 2021, evolving with left repetition otorrhea. After 2 months, she reports an attempt to remove a foreign body (FB) with intense aural manipulation. She made previous use of amoxicillin + clavulanate and cephalexin, without improvement. Due to the worsening of the condition, she was admitted to a pediatric hospital on 03/26/2022 with otalgia and otorrhea on the left. She had a polypoid lesion obstructing the left EAC at otoscopy. Computed tomography of the mastoids was performed, showing opacification of mastoid cells, content with density of soft parts and erosion of the anterior and posterior wall of the ipsilateral EAC. She underwent resection of a lesion described through retroauricular access, canalplasty and meatoplasty on 03/29/2022, with two lesions being evidenced: Medial pearly lesion in the conduct and lateral granulomatous process. The histopathological study revealed a chronic inflammatory response of the FB type and left EAC cholesteatoma. Patient remains under post-surgical follow-up in the otorhinolaryngology unit of the University Hospital of Brasília. Conclusion: The EAC cholesteatoma can present several aspects and etiologies, with trauma being an etiology to be considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
