Encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis, also known as Sturge-Weber syndrome or Sturge-Weber-Dimitri disease, is a sporadic congenital neurocutaneous syndrome characterized by angiomas of the face, eyes, and meninges. The typical clinical findings include seizures, a port-wine facial nevus, hemiparesis, and developmental delay. The classic intracranial imaging features of Sturge-Weber syndrome include cerebral hemispheric atrophy, hypervascularity and/or calcification of the cortex, and ipsilateral choroid plexus enlargement. Extracranial findings primarily include the vascular abnormalities of the ocular and facial soft tissues as well as hypertrophy of the calvarial and maxillofacial osseous structures. Additionally, we report involvement of the extraocular muscles, salivary glands, and lacrimal glands, findings that have not been well described in the literature. While a developmental venous pathology underlying Sturge-Weber syndrome has been proposed resulting in many of the findings, the mechanism behind the facial soft-tissue abnormalities and the clinical sequelae associated with these glandular abnormalities is still uncertain.Learning Objective: To recognize typical clinical and various imaging manifestations of Sturge-Weber syndrome, including head and neck and intracranial imaging findings

The indications for cochlear implantation continue to extend to patients with increased levels of residual hearing. Single-sided deafness and tinnitus are currently under various clinical trials as even further expansion of the application of cochlear implant device and programming technology is underway. This video details a round window and hearing preservation approach for cochlear implant placement, and incorporates the most recent advances in surgical technique.The video can be found here: http://youtu.be/bDqkbboXrU4.

Abstract Introduction Different surgical approaches have been adopted for cochlear implantation, with cortical mastoidectomy–posterior tympanotomy being the most commonly followed technique. Method In this article, we describe the surgical technique for cochlear implant followed at our center, which has been successfully implemented in more than 2,500 cochlear implant surgeries. Cochlear implant surgery using the cortical mastoidectomy–posterior tympanotomy technique has been performed in more than 2,500 cases with some modifications to the original technique over a period of time. Results In spite of not using tie-down holes and securing down the receiver–stimulator with sutures, no cases of receiver–stimulator displacement or outward electrode migration have been noted with the current technique of creating a snug-fitting subperiosteal pocket along with a hook for the electrode array. Conclusion Adhering to a strict intraoperative surgical protocol plays an extremely important role in carrying out successful cochlear implant surgeries with minimal complications.

Tissue Injuries

Trauma to the face and neck is a frequent reason for emergency department attendance. Imaging is invaluable in the characterisation of such injuries, enabling delineation of fracture patterns as well as identification of vascular and other soft tissue injuries. It may also be used to prevent long-term mortality and morbidity and provide a roadmap for surgical intervention so that form and function may be restored. This article gives a pictorial review of the imaging of craniofacial trauma, stratified according to the thirds of the face, followed by a review of blunt and penetrating trauma of the neck. It discusses appropriate imaging modalities for each trauma category, describes major patterns of craniofacial trauma on cross-sectional imaging and identifies clinically relevant imaging features that should trigger subspecialist review or be of relevance to pre-surgical planning. It starts with the upper third comprising frontal sinus fractures before describing the component fractures of the middle third (including nasal, zygomaticomaxillary and orbital fractures) and then focusing on the lower third (specifically mandibular and dentoalveolar fractures). The article concludes with a review of soft tissue injuries of the neck, particularly penetrating, blunt and laryngeal trauma.

New Surgical Technique

Objective The purpose of this article is to describe a morphological condition that is readily seen in both primary and secondary deformed noses of cleft patients and to present a new surgical technique to correct this specific deformity that afflicts the alar dome. This anomaly resembles a taut cord-like tissue that runs vertically from the pyriform aperture and is anchored onto the alar cartilage, thus impeding the cartilage's normal growth process. This new surgical technique releases the anchor and corrects the deformity of the nasal rim by using a triangular flap V-Y advancement technique. Results From 1994 to 1997, 88 cleft lip-nose cases were operated on by the author using the triangular flap V-Y advancement technique for releasing the anchor. Forty-two cases were primary repairs and 46 were secondary repairs. Conclusions By studying the normal and pathological anatomy of the nose and its proportions, the surgeon can obtain ideas for new surgical corrective techniques that can be used to restore anatomical balance and harmony between the nose and the face. Only in the last 15 to 20 years has the plastic surgeon begun to be interested in primary rhinoplasty in cleft lip-nose patients. Within this time, many different techniques have been proposed. All primary and secondary cases that have undergone this specific technique for release of the anchor have shown good results for restoring the height of the alar dome's affected side to that of the noninvolved side, thus establishing a more anatomically balanced nose.

Background and aims. This study describes the technique of simultaneous middle and inferior antrostomy and outlines its usefulness in the management of maxillary mucoceles.Methods. This is a retrospective review of 12 consecutive patients with isolated maxillary mucocele operated on by means of middle and inferior antrostomy technique. We describe the clinical picture, details of the surgical technique and outcomes.Results. There were 7 males and 5 females with ages ranging from 20 years to 65 years (mean 42 years). One patient had past trauma to the face and one had a long history of chronic sinusitis. Eight patients had undergone multiple previous sinus operative procedures including Caldwell-Luc approach. All patients underwent middle and inferior antrostomy without complications. Follow-up was between 12 months and 60 months (mean 36 months) with no recurrences to date.Conclusion. In conclusion the results of our small series support the worth of using middle and inferior antrostomy when dealing with maxillary mucoceles.
