Purpose
To this day, there is no cure for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP). Multiple surgical procedures are performed to achieve symptom relief and prevention of airway obstruction. A promising drug for RRP is the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) binding antibody bevacizumab. This chemotherapeutic agent has an angiogenesis-inhib...
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a very rare disease of the airway mucosa caused by an infection with human papillomavirus (HPV). It is characterized by regular growth of papillomas in the larynx, trachea, or lung parenchyma, resulting in symptoms, such as dysphonia, dyspnea, chronic coughing, stridor, or wheezing. To this day, there i...
Purpose
Postoperative headache (POH) is a complication that occurs after surgical resection of cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumors. The two most common surgical approaches are the translabyrinthine (TL), and retrosigmoid (RS) approach. The objective of this systematic review was to investigate whether POH occurs more frequently after RS compared to...
Background. Eight-and-a-half syndrome is a rare condition comprising one-and-a-half syndrome and cranial nerve VII palsy caused by a single unilateral lesion in the lower pontine tegmentum, of varying etiology. Case presentation. A 67-year-old woman presented at our emergency department with diplopia, vertigo, headache, nausea and vomiting. Physica...
Objective:
To compare the functional outcomes and complications of intratympanic gentamicin (ITG) versus intratympanic corticosteroids (ITC) in Menière's disease.
Data sources:

MRI in patients with a cochlear implant: how to proceed An increasing number of cochlear implantations are being performed for the treatment of severe sensorineural hearing loss. Implant-associated complications leading to malfunction are of major importance since patients are strongly dependent on their cochlear implant (CI) for communication. Her...
Objective
To evaluate the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL).
Data sources
An Embase, MEDLINE and Cochrane search were utilised to identify various clinical trials on the treatment of ISSHL. Studies that were published between 2002 and 2018 and written in the En...
