Association Between Prednisone and Delayed Facial Nerve Palsy After Acoustic Neuroma Resection

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Discharge with an oral prednisone taper was not associated with a reduced incidence of delayed facial nerve palsy following acoustic neuroma resection, even after rigorous adjustment for confounding using inverse probability weighting. The findings do not support routine prophylactic corticosteroid use for this indication.

Trigeminal neuralgia caused by dual compressive pathology of developmental venous anomaly and small enhancing lesion

Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery, 2018
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a debilitating chronic pain disorder characterized by hemifacial lancinating pain originating from the trigeminal nerve. TN is the most common disorder in the broad category of neurovascular compression syndromes (NVCS).

The Hidden Burden of Hemifacial Spasm: A Systematic Review of Non‐Motor Symptoms

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by involuntary contractions of facial muscles. Traditionally regarded as a motor condition, HFS encompasses a spectrum of non‐motor symptoms that are often overlooked but significantly affect patients’ quality of life.

Tongue somatosensory-evoked potentials in microvascular decompression treated trigeminal neuralgia

, 2014
Somatosensory-evoked potentials of the tongue (tSSEP) provide useful information about trigeminal-afferent pathway. The aim of this study was to evaluate tSSEP in trigeminal neuralgia (TN) treatment with microvascular decompression.

Anastomotic Failure Is Not Affected by Anastomotic Technique in Minimally Invasive Two‐Stage Oesophagectomy

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The choice of anastomotic technique in minimally invasive oesophagectomy (MIO) may influence postoperative morbidity and long‐term outcomes. The primary aim of our study is to determine whether circular (CS) or linear‐stapled (LS) anastomosis is associated with anastomotic complications following MIO.

Reconstructing the Post‐Burn Auricle: A Microsurgical Approach Using a Contralateral Free Temporoparietal Fascial Flap and Autologous Costal Cartilage Framework

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Post‐burn auricular defects compromise both aesthetics and facial symmetry, often imposing significant social and psychological burdens that severely diminish patients' quality of life. Scarring in the mastoid region following burns typically exhibits poor elasticity and texture, along with compromised cutaneous blood supply.

When Chronic Pain Clouds Acute Diagnosis: Femoral Shaft Osteonecrosis With Superimposed Pseudomonas Osteomyelitis in a Medically Complex Patient

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT In medically complex patients with chronic pain, new or worsening symptoms should prompt careful reassessment. Avascular necrosis, particularly in the setting of prolonged steroid use, may be overlooked due to diagnostic overshadowing. Timely recognition requires multidisciplinary collaboration and vigilance to distinguish acute pathology from

Endoscope-Assisted Microvascular Decompression for Trigeminal Neuralgia: Technical Case Report

, 2006
OBJECTIVE: Microvascular decompression may fail to relieve trigeminal neuralgia because a compressing vessel at the root entry zone may be overlooked during surgery. Alternatively, effective decompression may not always be achieved with the visualization
