Malleus bar is an abnormal bony connection between the malleus handle and the posterior wall of the tympanic cavity. We report a patient with a malleus bar and another malformation of the ossicles. An 11-year-old boy presented with hearing impairment since early childhood. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a malleus bar with an incudostapedial disconnection in the right ear. At tympanoplasty, the malleus bar was first identified and removed. A fused malleus-incus, not visible on the preoperative...

To the Editor We praise the article by Dixon and James, who confirmed the pivotal role of using endoscope alone or in adjunct to a microscope for the completeness of cholesteatomas resection in selected cases, resulting in reduced surgical invasiveness, morbidity, and costs. The main challenge of cholesteatoma surgery is to minimize the risk of residual disease needed to obtain a safe, dry, waterproof, and hearing ear. Over the years, various technological innovations have been proposed to reduce...

In Reply Casale et al highlight our findings, which demonstrate that a transcanal totally endoscopic approach to middle ear and attic cholesteatoma is an effective alternative to postauricular surgery in children. We agree that the endoscope is one of many adjuncts that can facilitate successful removal of cholesteatoma. These adjuncts can be categorized as those that facilitate visualization, improve access, or eliminate invisible or inaccessible disease.

Otolaryngologists (especially otologists and/or neurotologists) around the globe have been waiting 6 months for this study. Given the anatomic connection from the nasopharynx, site of initial infection and virus isolation of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) to the tympanic cavity through the eustachian tube, could the virus responsible for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the current global pandemic gain access to the middle ear space and mastoid cavity, and...

Introduction: A novel long-term murine model for Graves’ disease (GD) using repeated, long-term immunizations with recombinant adenovirus expressing the extracellular A-subunit of the human thyrotropin receptor (Ad-TSHR) was applied to evaluate the functional anti-TSHR-antibody (TSHR-Ab) profile. Methods: BALB/c mice received 7 immunizations with either 1010 plaque-forming units of Ad-TSHR or control Ad-GFP. Naïve (nonimmuized native) mice were also studied. Three 3-weekly immunizations were followed...
