Unveiling Otolith Mystery: Contemporary Testing Approaches and Their Clinical Significance
ABSTRACT Objective Otolith is a critical component of the peripheral vestibular system responsible for detecting linear acceleration. Dysfunction of the otolith organs can lead to vertigo, balance disturbances, and gaze instability. By elucidating the physiological foundations and evaluating both current and emerging methods for assessing otolith ...

Unique Anatomical Imaging Findings in Patients With Patulous Eustachian Tube
This retrospective CT‐based study evaluated nasopharyngeal anatomy in patients with patulous Eustachian tube (PET) compared with matched controls. PET patients demonstrated increased ET patency and enlarged lateral recess dimensions; however, no significant anatomical differences were identified between bilateral PET ears, affected unilateral ears, and

Mesna in Otologic Surgery: Efficacy and Safety—A Scoping Review
PRISMA flow diagram indicating the process of systematic inclusion and exclusion of articles. ABSTRACT Objective Mesna (Sodium 2‐mercaptoethanesulfonate) is widely used as a mucolytic agent and uroprotective agent. Recently, its disulfide bond‐breaking property has been applied in otologic surgery to facilitate safer dissection of cholesteatoma and ...

How I Do It: Middle Fossa Approach of Facial Nerve Decompression
We present a reproducible, stepwise middle fossa approach for facial nerve decompression focused on the labyrinthine segment, geniculate ganglion, and meatal foramen, with consistent anatomical landmarks to preserve hearing. The article and video detail patient setup, safe corridor creation, and retrograde drilling with practical tips to avoid cochlear
