Background: Stapedial myoclonus is an uncommon condition involving the rhythmic contraction of the stapedial tendon that may result in a host of symptoms, including tinnitus (1–3). There is a dearth of robust diagnostic modalities to diagnose stapedial myoclonus(4–7), and most patients are treated without definitive diagnosis(8-12). Herein, we hypothesize that stapedial myoclonus can be readily diagnosed by awake otoendoscopy (see Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/MAO/A997). ...

Microvascular decompression (MVD) is curative treatment for primary Hemifacial Spasm, in cases where a vascular loop impinges on the facial nerve. Surgical techniques for MVD may be extended to MVD of the glossopharyngeal nerve and trigeminal nerve in cases of primary glossopharyngeal neuralgia and trigeminal neuralgia. Stroke is a rare complication of these procedures that may occur during the separation of a vascular loop from nervous tissue, particularly when materials such as Teflon are used...

Background: Presbycusis is an age-related sensorineural hearing loss and it may reduce quality of life. We conducted a study to establish the prevalence of high-frequency presbycusis in normal hearing individuals and to validate the role of extended high-frequency distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) in the screening. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 205 normal hearing adult participants with an age range between 25 and 54 years old. Hearing analysis with extended...

Objective: To present a case of pediatric cholesteatoma that invaded the petrous apex (PA) and discuss the usefulness of preoperative three-dimensional (3D) surgical simulation on a personal computer (PC) and patient-specific 3D printed model-assisted surgery. Patient: A 5-year-old boy with congenital cholesteatoma underwent a planned two-stage canal wall up mastoidectomy. The cholesteatoma had invaded the PA from a small space anterior to the superior semicircular canal (SSCC). During the...

Objective: To further elucidate the role of balloon Eustachian tuboplasty (BET) in tympanoplasty, we conducted a study to compare the outcomes of tympanoplasty with and without BET for the treatment of chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) with obstructive Eustachian tube dysfunction (OETD). Study Design: Case control study. Setting: Tertiary referral center. Patients: A total of 70 ears diagnosed with CSOM (tubotympanic type) and OETD were included in this study. Thirty-five...

Objective: We describe three rare cases of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) presenting with symptoms of endolymphatic hydrops (EH) and perform a literature review to bring attention to a rare link between SIH and EH. Patient: A 59-year-old female presented with postural headache, aural fullness, vertigo, hearing loss, and abnormal electrocochleography after being diagnosed with SIH by magnetic resonance imaging. The site of cerebrospinal fluid leak was identified in this individual....
