Congenitally anosmic patients do have fewer olfactory foramina
It has been previously established that patients with Kallman’s syndrome (very much associated with anosmia) have a similar number of cribriform plate foramina when compared to controls. As non-invasive CT assessment of the cribriform plate is now possible in cadavers,...

We often come across saddle noses in our specialist rhinology clinics. The saddle nose deformity represents collapse of the cartilaginous and / or bony nasal support structures resulting in dorsal height loss. Acquired cases are due to trauma or surgery...Navigating the Winds of Change in the CO₂ ENT Surgical Laser Market
The CO₂ ENT surgical laser market is poised for significant changes by the end of 2024.
Drooling: what is it like to be unable to manage your own saliva?
Drooling in Parkinson’s is associated with less frequent and inefficient swallowing, resulting in a build-up of saliva in the mouth that then moves beyond the lips. It often causes discomfort as the skin becomes sore, and results in embarrassment. The...
Association of eustachian tube dysfunction in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy for sleep-disordered breathing
The need for this study arises from the fact that after undergoing adenotonsillectomy, some children continue to suffer from symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) which overlap with symptoms of eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD), such as cognitive and behavioural impairment, resulting...
Lip sensory disturbance in osteotomy patients
Neurosensory disturbance resulting from inferior alveolar nerve injury during a sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) is a well-recognised complication. This paper from Türkiye looked at 20 patients with neurosensory disturbance >12 months after a bimaxillary osteotomy including a BSSO surgery and...Surgical management of sleep disordered breathing

Meniere’s disease (MD) and vestibular migraine (VM) are two conditions with overlap in their symptoms. There is often a lack of understanding regarding symptom-based differentiation between them. MD presents with episodic vertigo, fluctuating hearing loss and tinnitus. MD has been...
Laryngeal evaluation during COVID-19 using transcervical ultrasonography
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the authors highlight their protocol of transcutaneous laryngeal ultrasonography as an alternative to flexible fibreoptic laryngoscopy when appropriate. This is to reduce the risk of aerosolisation posed by laryngoscopy. Ultrasonography is a rapid, non-invasive...
