18‐FDG PET in the Evaluation of Therapeutic Response of Necrotizing Otitis Externa
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.PET performed well in assessing the therapeutic response of NEO, with excellent sensitivity but low specificity of visual analysis. A complementary quantitative analysis was useful to distinguish between satisfactory and insufficient partial responses. ABSTRACT Objective The duration of antibiotic treatment for necrotizing otitis externa (NEO) and the ...

Post‐prostatectomy chylous ascites treated by intranodal lymphangiography: A case report and review
Surgical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Chylous ascites is a rare but significant complication following extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) during radical prostatectomy. No universal treatment guideline currently exists. Herein, we present the case of a 74‐year‐old patient with prostate cancer who developed chylous ascites after radical prostatectomy with bilateral ePLND.
