Management of Deep Neck Infection Associated with Descending Necrotizing Mediastinitis: A Scoping Review.

Deep neck infection is a pathology at the border of two specialties, otorhinolaryngology and maxillofacial surgery, and represents a medico-surgical emergency. In terms of its evolution, it can extend to the level of the thorax and result in mediastinitis, with difficult evolution and poor prognosis. The aims of this scoping review are to present the etiology, bacteriology, clinical manifestations, and diagnostics, as well as treatment, in light of the research published in the last 5 years on deep neck infection associated with descending necrotizing mediastinitis.

Sinonasal inverted papilloma from diagnosis to treatment - a narrative review.

Inverted papilloma (IP) is a non-cancerous tumor that develops from the paranasal sinuses. Identifying and diagnosing an IP is vital for an ear, nose and throat specialist, due to its high recurrence rate and ability to transform into malignant carcinoma. Diagnosis is based on endonasal flexible endoscopy, preoperative biopsy, and imaging methods.

Deep Neck Infections: The Effectiveness of Therapeutic Management and Bacteriological Profile.

: Deep neck infections (DNIs) are severe diagnoses that can cause serious complications. However, there are insufficient data to predict the evolution of this pathology. This study aims to review the microbiology of DNIs and to identify the factors that influence prolonged hospitalization.

New Insights into Cervicofacial Vascular Anomalies.

Congenital cervicofacial vascular anomalies are extremely rare and present many difficulties in diagnosis and treatment requiring a multidisciplinary approach. Firstly, there is little consensus on this subject among head and neck specialists. There are two main types of vascular anomalies: vascular tumors and vascular malformations.

Prognostic Significance of Multifactorial Analysis in Complex Cervical Aero-Digestive Trauma Cases.

: In the context of complex aerodigestive cervical traumas, the prognosis and outcome heavily depend on risk factors, particularly injuries to the larynx, trachea, major digestive tissues, cervical vertebrae, and vascular structures. With the increasing prevalence of trauma as a public health concern, there is a pressing need for epidemiological research and the implementation of preventative measures. The purpose of this research is to establish the profile of the predictable impact factors that determine the prognosis of patients with complex cervical trauma.
