Article Synopsis
- This study assesses the rate of postoperative meningitis in patients who receive cochlear implants (CIs) through a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing literature.
- A total of 116 studies were included, revealing that out of 58,940 patients, there were 112 cases of meningitis, resulting in an estimated incidence rate of 0.07%.
- The findings suggest that meningitis is a rare complication following CIs, with lower rates than earlier studies, especially in patients who received preventive measures like vaccinations and antibiotics.
Intrathyroidal parathyroid adenomas (IPAs) are a rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. They are often difficult to localize preoperatively and intraoperatively, making diagnosis and treatment challenging. Current data on IPAs are sparse and fragmented in the literature.
