Article Abstract
Background: Tinnitus and uveitis have shared commonality in pathophysiology in terms of autoimmunity. However, no studies that have linked any association between the conditions of tinnitus and uveitis.
Methods: This is a retrospective study conducted from the Taiwan National Health Insurance database in order to investigate whether tinnitus patients are at increased risk of uveitis. Patients newly diagnosed with tinnitus between 2001 and 2014 were recruited and followed up until 2018. The endpoint of interest was a diagnosis of uveitis.
Results: A total of 31,034 tinnitus patients and 124,136 matched comparisons were analyzed. Tinnitus patients were found to have a significantly higher cumulative incidence for uveitis than those without the diagnosis of tinnitus with incidence rate of 1.68 (95% CI 1.55-1.82) per 10 000 person-months for tinnitus group and 1.48 (95% CI 1.42-1.54) per 10 000 person-months for non-tinnitus group.
Conclusion: Tinnitus patients were found to have increased risk of developing uveitis.

Venous sinus stenting versus ventriculoperitoneal shunting: Comparing perioperative costs for idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
Interv Neuroradiol

Department of Neurosurgery, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
IntroductionVenous sinus stenting (VSS) is an effective, less invasive alternative to ventriculoperitoneal shunting (VPS) for idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). While efficacy is comparable, with some evidence favoring VSS for headache control, perioperative costs remain under-characterized due to reliance on reimbursement rates rather than actual expenditures.ObjectiveTo compare the perioperative cost of elective VSS and VPS for IIH, including outpatient workup and follow-up costs, using detailed institutional cost data.

Geometric changes in the sigmoid sinus diverticulum (SSD) can alter its hemodynamic - a primary factor contributing to pulsatile tinnitus (PT). However, not all SSD cases lead to clinical PT symptoms. This study aims to investigate the influence of the diameter of the diverticulum (EDD) on the hemodynamics of the sigmoid sinus in PT.

Virtual reality (VR) has been utilized in clinical treatment because it can efficiently simulate situations that are difficult to control in the real world. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of VR in patients with chronic subjective tinnitus. We assessed the clinical effectiveness based on electroencephalogram (EEG) analysis and questionnaire responses after patients participated in a 6-8-week VR-based tinnitus relief program.

Background And Objectives: Microvascular decompression (MVD) for hemifacial spasm (HFS) is commonly conducted under a microscope. We report a large series of fully endoscopic MVDs for HFS and describe our initial experience with 3-dimensional (3D) endoscopy.
Methods: Clinical data of 204 patients with HFS who underwent fully endoscopic MVD using 2-dimensional (2D) and 3D endoscopy (191 and 13 patients, respectively) from July 2017 to October 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.
Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma Treated With Salvage ZAP-X Radiosurgery in Elderly Patients: A Report on a Case Series.

Management of recurrent adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) in elderly patients remains challenging due to comorbidities, functional impairments, and anatomically complex tumor locations that complicate surgical access and increase operative risk. The ZAP-X Gyroscopic Radiosurgery System (ZAP Surgical Systems, Inc., San Carlos, CA, USA) offers a highly precise, non-invasive treatment modality, potentially suitable for salvage therapy in previously irradiated fields and in medically inoperable patients.
