The aim was to assess the voice outcomes of cold phonomicrosurgery for minimal-associated pathological lesions of the vocal folds.
The aim of this study was to evaluate swallowing in early and late stage dementia cases referred to the swallowing clinic with oropharyngeal dysphagia in order to have a comprehensive view about their characte...
Injection laryngoplasty (IL) continues to evolve, as new techniques, approaches, and injection materials are continuously being developed. Although it was performed under general anesthesia in the operating ro...
The improvement of speech intelligibility of many patients is one of the primary aims of the therapy of communication disorders. The standard evaluations lack an Arabic test to measure speech intelligibility a...
This study was designed to explore the processing of auditory information through auditory brainstem and higher cortical regions in a sample of children with phonological errors compared to age-matched normal ...
Audiovestibular manifestations are reported in autoimmune diseases including hearing loss and vestibular symptoms.
Anatomical and embryological relations between cochlear and vestibular end organs predispose them to same noxious or developmental factors, thus these may affect either or both systems. Cochlear implantation b...
CE-Chirp is a new broadband stimulus that permits the energy from the stimulus to reach the whole regions of the cochlea at approximately the same time.
The aim was to evaluate voice outcomes of microflap surgery with subepithelial infiltration for vocal fold cysts and to compare voice outcomes of microsurgery with and without subepithelial infiltration for vo...
The aim was to investigate the existence of immunoglobulin (Ig)G antibody against Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in blood sample from patients having laryngeal lesions and comparing its level in benign versus ma...
Laryngeal cancers represent 4.5% of all malignancies and 28% of malignancies of the upper aerodigestive tract. Different modalities for pretherapeutic assessment have been advocated including endoscopy and rad...
To assess the use of powered instrumentation and endoscopes to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this procedure in comparison to classic adenoidectomy using an adenoid curette.
Adenoidal hypertrophy is considered one of the most common diseases in otolaryngology. It is usually associated with nasal obstruction symptoms like snoring and hyponasality. If not treated well, children will...
Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) is the most common type of fungal diseases in nose and paranasal sinuses. It is due to hypersensitivity to fungal antigens. The standard treatment for control of AFRS is e...
The aim was to compare the extraturbinal microdebrider-assisted turbinoplasty (MAT) with the partial inferior turbinectomy (PIT) based on subjective and objective parameters.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of simple office-based surgery in small central tympanic membrane (TM) perforation.
Vitiligo is the disappearance of functional melanocytes (MCs) from the involved skin by a mechanism(s) that has not yet been identified.
Various materials such as fascia, perichondrium, and cartilage have been used for the reconstruction of the tympanic membrane in middle ear surgery. Owing to its stiffness, cartilage is resistant to resorption...
Cancer in pregnancy is uncommon. The ethical problem of managing head and neck cancer in pregnancy has always been a common issue to ensure the mother and fetal well-being. Choices for the diagnostic and treat...

Amyloidosis is a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by accumulation of amyloid protein in different organs of the body. Localized affection of the larynx by amyloid deposits is a rare event. This is...
Evidence of systematic relationships between the perceptual characteristics of tinnitus, like its pitch or loudness, and those of the absolute hearing threshold curves, like the presence and degree of hearing ...
Hearing loss is the most important risk factor of tinnitus, but this relation is not straightforward; some patients with severe tinnitus have normal hearing, whereas many patients with hearing loss do not have...
Laryngeal cancer with invasion of soft tissues of the neck including the skin is staged as T4a disease according to the TNM classification by the AJCC in 2010. The traditional treatment for this locally advanc...
Despite combined modality treatment, local persistent or recurrent disease is a primary cause of treatment failure in 30–50% of patients with advanced head-and-neck cancer (HNC). The role of reirradiation is f...
The endonasal transpterygoid approach has been very popular as a standard approach to the pterygopalatine and infratemporal fossa. However, its implications actually extend beyond these regions to include acce...
Nasal obstruction is a common annoying symptom of septal deviation, and endoscopic septoplasty gives better illumination and accurate vision, and hence can provide markedly good dealing with posterior deviatio...
