Summary: Vestibular schwannoma is the most common type of intracranial schwannoma, accounting for about 8% of all intracranial tumors in adults with an estimated incidence rate of around 1.3/100,000. The incidence rates of facial nerve schwannomas and cochlear nerve schwannomas are not well-documented. These three types of nerve tumors often present with unilateral hearing loss, tinnitus, and disequilibrium. Facial nerve palsy is common in facial nerve schwannomas but rare in vestibular schwannomas. The symptoms are usually persistent and progressive, leading to interventions that may cause significant morbidity such as deafness and imbalance.

Summary: This study introduces a new anatomical landmark, the IVCC, which can be used to identify the facial nerve during minimally invasive transcanal surgeries. The IVCC has a consistent relationship with the IAC fundus and the facial nerve.

Summary: Endoscopic facial nerve decompression in Bell's palsy patients showed promising results, with 87% of patients recovering to normal or near-normal facial function post-surgery and no severe complications reported. Further investigation is needed to determine the optimal timing of surgery and explore potential post-drug surgical therapies.

Summary: A 2D monocular endoscope lacks depth perception, leading to potential difficulties in surgery. A binocular endoscope offers improved depth perception, but its diameter limits its use in surgery.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the effect of nerve position within the internal auditory canal on preoperative and postoperative cochlear and facial nerve function in patients with intracanalicular vestibular schwannoma. The study found that patients with tumors located between the vestibular and facial-cochlear nerves had worse outcomes in terms of facial nerve function and hearing preservation after surgery.

Summary: In cases of a cholesteatoma confined to the tympanic cavity causing a labyrinthine fistula on the ampullar arm, a transcanal exclusive endoscopic approach may be considered as a feasible and safe technique. The study successfully treated labyrinthine fistula in three cases with satisfactory functional outcomes, including complete eradication of cholesteatoma, hearing preservation, and resolution of symptoms.

Summary: Preoperative and postoperative characteristics of intracanalicular meningiomas (ICMs), including frequent anacusis and facial palsy, demonstrate their aggressive nature compared to intrameatal vestibular schwannomas (IMVS). Imaging evaluation is crucial for correct diagnosis and management, with asymptomatic or stable ICMs suitable for observation protocols.

Summary: In this study, we report a rare case of an aural polyp with ciliated epithelium extending from the upper-middle ear to the external auditory canal in a dog. The transcanal endoscopic procedure (TEP) using a diode laser may be a useful minimally invasive treatment option for managing external auditory canal polyps.

Summary: A retrospective study was conducted on patients who underwent temporal bone CT scans between 2014 and 2019, with pediatric and adult patients divided into different age subgroups. The pneumatization of the subcochlear canaliculus was found to increase constantly from 0 to 19 years and then gradually decrease.

Summary: This study evaluated a novel method for bone tissue management in facial nerve decompression using Piezosurgery technology via a middle cranial fossa approach. Results showed safe dissection of the facial nerve without damage to surrounding structures, suggesting this technique is feasible for surgical decompression. More cadaveric training and further case studies are recommended for intraoperative use.

Summary: The transparotid-transcervical approach (TTa) is a safe and effective surgical option for parapharyngeal space (PPS) tumors, achieving satisfactory local disease control. Malignant tumors have a higher rate of positive margins due to their infiltrative nature, potentially requiring more complex treatment approaches. Post-operative cranial nerve function remains satisfactory regardless of tumor characteristics, with higher X cranial nerve deficit rates observed in retrostyloid and neurogenic lesions.

Summary: Giant cell tumors of bone (GCT) are rare soft tissue tumors, and their occurrence in the nasal cavity is even rarer. This article reviewed 15 cases of GCT in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, and reported a case of multifocal GCT in the nasal cavity. GCT should be considered as a possibility when evaluating tumors of the head and neck. Surgical removal is the preferred treatment, with minimally invasive trans-nasal approach being recommended to reduce post-operative complications.

Summary: Endocrine surgery has made significant advances in recent decades, expanding surgical and nonsurgical techniques. The use of newer generation robotics allows for more flexibility and better tactile feedback. Autofluorescence technology shows promise in identifying parathyroid glands and reducing the risk of hypoparathyroidism. Future research will incorporate artificial intelligence to improve preoperative assessment and intraoperative decision-making.
