Abstract
Chapter 5 - Carotid body and vagal paragangliomas, although considered indolent tumors, represent a challenge for the treating physician.
Incomplete and false tract insertions in cochlear implantation: retrospective review of surgical and auditory outcomes
Abstract
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate incidence, demographics, surgical, and radiological correlates of incomplete and false tract electrode array insertions during cochlear implantation (CI). To evaluate outcomes in patients with incomplete electrode insertion (IEI).
Paragangliomas arise through an autonomous vasculo-angio-neurogenic program inhibited by imatinib
Tumours can be viewed as aberrant tissues or organs sustained by tumorigenic stem-like cells that engage into dysregulated histo/organogenetic processes.
Cochlear Implantation in Chronic Otitis Media With Cholesteatoma and Open Cavities: Long-term Surgical Outcomes

Decision Making in the Wait-and-Scan Approach for Vestibular Schwannomas: Is There a Price to Pay in Terms of Hearing, Facial Nerve, and Overall Outcomes?
Abstract
BACKGROUND:
The wait-and-scan modality has emerged as an important strategy in the management of vestibular schwannoma (VS) as it has been demonstrated that many tumors grow slowly or do not show any growth over long periods.
Cochlear Implantation in Cochlear Ossification: Retrospective Review of Etiologies, Surgical Considerations, and Auditory Outcomes
Abstract
OBJECTIVE:

Intrinsic tumors of the facial nerve are a rare entity. Dealing with this subset of tumors is challenging both in terms of decision making and surgical intervention.
OBJECTIVE:
To review the outcomes of surgical management of facial nerve tumors and cable nerve graft interpositioning.
Cochlear Implantation in Otosclerosis: Surgical and Auditory Outcomes With a Brief on Facial Nerve Stimulation
Abstract
OBJECTIVE
- To review the surgical and auditory outcomes in patients of cochlear implantation in otosclerosis.
- To review complications and postimplantation facial nerve stimulation (FNS).
- To compare the auditory outcomes between patients displaying cochlear ossification to the nonossified ones.
