Overall, stapes surgery in children with JO or CSF has a moderate success rate (69.9%) to provide ABG closure of 10 dB. The success rate for CSF in the setting of ossicular abnormalities is 54%. This meta-analysis suggests that if JO can be determined before surgery, a higher success rate is possible (80.2%).
An 80 year old male patient presented with severe odynophagia and retrosternal discomfort that resulted in a 5 kg weight loss in two months. The patient had a history of total gastrectomy-esophagojejunostomy and radiotherapy for gastric carcinoma, 22 years previously. Endoscopy revealed lesions located on the epiglottis and arytenoids. Histopathology of lesions was pemphigus vulgaris while the presence of gastric mucosa in samples was suggestive of Inlet Patch. We present a coexistence of primary laryngeal pemphigus and Inlet Patch.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
