Vagal paraganliomas typically will displace the inner carotid artery anteriorly and occupy the excessive parapharyngeal area, with or without involvement of the cranium base. Fat-suppressed sequences are exceptionally useful in delineating the extent of the tumor. Characteristic patterns of bone destruction occur with jugulotympanic paragangliomas. Angiography is important in offering an in depth map of tumor blood supply and vmous drainage. Four-vessel cerebral angiography permits for qualitative and quantitative blood circulate research of the cerebral circulation. Preoperative preparation by way of superselective embolization of the feeding arterial provide to the tumor decreases the chance of intraoperative blood loss. Arterial supply of carotid body tumoa takes place instantly from the feeding vessels to the carotid physique that hypertrophies when a tumor is present (15,28,36). Arterial supply of jugulotympanic tumors is nicely outlined when these tumoD are early in their improvement and invoM the ascending phaJ:yngeal artery. As these tumors develop, they recruit additional blood supply that comes from the internal carotid cira:ilation via the caroticotympanic arteries. With invasion of the posterior fossa and medial extension of the tumor towards the cavernous sinus, further vasa:ilar recruitment is possible via the posterior cira:ilation through the vertebral arteries by way of the clival anastomoses as well as the cavernous sinus microcirculation.

An angiographic balloon occlusion check entails the threading of a traruJfemoral catheter to the interior carotid and involves briefly occluding the interior carotid artery, usually at the carotid siphon within the cavernous sinus to determine whether there shall be neurologic deficit (9,11). Several modalities for neurologic monitoring during balloon occlusion testing of the internal carotid artery are available. Radionudide Imaging Radionudide imaging of paragangliomas targets the biochemical pathways of catecholamine synthesil! Different functional imaging agents targrt paraganglioma tumor cells through totally different mechanisms. A: Frontal anglographlc Image exhibits the lnftated radlodense balloon In the proximal left lntemal carotid artery, occluding Row. The refinement of those surgical techniques with the assistance of preoperative embolization has significantly decreased morbidity and has minimized mortality related to surgical procedure. Howevet when full tumor extiJ:pation is contemplated, lower cranial neiVe resection or inadvertent injury to the lower cranial nerves can lead to significant morbidity affecting phonation and deglutition with a risk for aspiration. Radiation therapy, which was initially used for the treatment of unresedable tumors or for swgical therapy failures, has turn into a suitable therapy modality and has been inco1p0rated into the therapy algorithms for head and neck paragangliomas. When surger:y is contemplated, a surgical staff with expertise in lateral cranium base surgery, head and neck sw:gecy and inkm! Surgery Preparation for surgical procedure requires angiogmphic evaluation for many paragangliomas. Anesthesia requirements should take into consideration tumon that may be actively secreting catecholamines, which would require alpha and beta adrenergic blockade. Continuous arterial strain monitoring is required and transfusions may be necessacy. Central vmous strain monitoring may be required relying on the underlying como:rbidities. Angiographic Evaluation Superselective angiogmphy is an invaluable adjunct for planning surgical procedure in paragangliomas by offering an arterial map that identifies the feeding blood vessels as nicely as providing the:flow dynamics to the tumor. This is especially helpful in bigger tumors the place multiple feeding vessels from each the interior and atemal circulation could additionally be present with anastomoses between the atemal and inner carotid techniques (41). Similarly, the internal carotid artery can be evaluated for structural integrity and areas of constriction or irregularity, which might indicate involvement of the vessel and the potential want for sacrifice. The venous section of angiogmphy is equally necessary in identifying the draining vessels and.

Preparation for the process contains the administration of a preoperative antibiotic dose and use of local anesthetic. There are over a dozen articles within the literature that evaluate the response in loud night time breathing sufferers both with shortterm and long-term follow-up. Short-term efficacy for the reduction of loud night time breathing at ninety days was statistically vital in a quantity of studies. An extrusion rate of 20% was famous in some of the research; however, when this was analyzed separately, it was felt that no enhance in snoring resulted if two of three implants remained in place (91,94). Despite short-term benefit which was statistically significant in several studies, a trend toward relapse has been famous long run (94,95). Pain may be significant in some sufferers; nevertheless, as the demucosalized area of the soft palate heals by secondary intention. A modification of this system was published in 2007 for use in patients with loud night breathing as nicely as delicate to reasonable sleep apnea (99). The procedure now often identified as anterior palatoplasty has been reported to have long-term benefit approximately 3 years out (100). The nasal airway can be a important element of airway collapse because of upstream resistance. Newer strategies do present some promising outcomes primarily based on improved choice of sufferers and airway phenotypes. Staging methods introduced by Friedman and others spotlight the necessity for palatal surgeries to be combined with different surgeries of the airway in lots of instances. Snoring procedures are based totally on decreasing the social disruption from palatal flutter and differ primarily based on invasiveness, morbidity, and cost. More latest knowledge recommend that the presence of snoring might associated with increased mortality and different health risk. Studies evaluating a single or combination of procedures together with those of the nasal and palate are troublesome to compare because of extensive variability in strategies.

Consequently, its use has become routine in hearing preservation surgical procedure in many major facilities. Despite the challenges of intraoperative auditory monitoring in otologic and neurotologic procedures, increasing technologic frontiers have emerged because of data obtained from intraoperative auditory monitoring. Nimodipine has been shown to rescue traumatized cochlear neurons from degeneration in rats (50). Combinations of near- and far-field methods help create a complete image of the auditory system, from the cochlea and the distal eighth nerve to the brainstem and higher centers. However, serviceable postoperative hearing was Chapter a hundred forty five: Neurophysiologic Intraoperative Monitoring 2323 Armed with an understanding of the basic methods of intraoperative auditory system monitoring, the surgeon may then resolve which modalities, if any, shall be applicable to the deliberate surgical process. Although the long run appears brilliant for eighth nerve monitoring, it still trails facial nerve monitoring in purposes and acceptance. It can also be one of many more frequent reasons for malpractice litigation in otolaryngology (53). Morbidity from this harm is decided by the positioning of the harm as properly as the degree of injury to the facial nerve. Temporary or partial paralysis could end in long-term cosmetic deformities, together with synkinesis, atrophy, or bothersome facial twitching. Permanent facial paralysis could end in intensive beauty deformity or severe useful deficits, resulting in oral incompetence and, in extreme circumstances, corneal injuries and blindness as properly as significant psychological results on the affected person Although facial nerve damage can occur throughout any otologic or neurotologic procedure, certain procedures similar to vestibular schwannoma excision, revision mastoid surgery, and restore of congenital malformations carry a larger risk While most otolaryngologists are familiar with regular facial nerve anatomy, the nerve might run an aberrant course or be obscured by tumo~ fibrosis, cholesteatoma, granulation tissue, bleeding, and even spinal fluid. The incidence of facial nerve paralysis resulting from otologic and neurotologic procedures has declined over the past many years likely due to the arrival of the operative microscope, high-speed surgical drill, and advanced microsurgical techniques. Prior to these advances, the incidence of facial nerve paralysis following mastoid surgery was as high as 15% (54). The importance of facial nerve monitoring throughout otologic and neurotologic surgery extends past merely avoiding untoward outcomes. Because of its intricate involvement with the buildings of the temporal bone, the facial nerve usually serves as a useful landmark in performing certain operations. Most facial nerve injuries throughout resection of vestibular schwannomas occur medial to the porus acousticus on the mid-cerebellopontine angle. In a sequence that looked at facial nerve injury in vestibular schwannoma resection, the facial nerve was preserved in 95% to 100 percent of all sufferers with tumors less than 1 em, 80% to 92% of patients with tumors measuring 1 to 2 em, and 50% to 76% of sufferers with tumors larger than 2 em (6). Another study showed interruption of the facial nerve in 2% to 10% of sufferers who underwent resection of vestibular schwannomas (57). Excluding vestibular schwannoma surgery, the commonest site of iatrogenic injury throughout otologic surgery happens within the tympanic phase followed by the mastoid phase and second genu (58). In a evaluation of the experience at the House Ear Clinic, 57% of the iatrogenic facial nerve injuries occurred during the mastoidectomy, with or with out tympanoplasty. Of observe, 14% of the sufferers studied sustained an damage to the facial nerve throughout tympanoplasty, and an extra 14% have been injured in the course of the removal of bony exostoses from the ear canal (59). Intraoperative facial nerve monitoring serves as a useful adjunct to an in depth knowledge of regular and variant temporal bone anatomy, careful preoperative planning, and meticulous surgical approach to decrease the chance of inadvertent injury to the facial nerve. Krause reported the first case of facial nerve monitoring throughout a neurotologic procedure 1898. He famous that electrical stimulation of the nerve resulted in facial movement (60). In 1965, Jako developed a photoelectric sensing device that detected mild transmission by way of the cheek when placed contained in the mouth, activating an audible signal (61). Hampered by poor sensitivity and reliability, few of the early units gained widespread acceptance. Intraoperative stimulation of the nerve triggered responses that had been detected by floor electrodes and displayed on an oscilloscope (63). To improve recognition of facial nerve stimulation, Sugita and Kobayashi devised a way to transduce facial motion into an auditory sign that might be heard by the surgeon and working room personnel (64). Combining visual and auditory signals to represent facial nerve stimulation and the use of insulated stimulator probes has not only increased the utility of facial nerve monitoring but additionally simplified the sensible utility of such applied sciences.

These fibers ultimately innervate the:five regions of mimetic musculature: temporaL zygomatic, buccaL mandibulcu;. Crossing ner:ve:fibers on the level of the motor nucleus of the facial nerve in the brainstem leads to bihemispheric control of operate within the higher half of the face and contralateral hemispheric management of function within the decrease half of the face. Deviations within the labyrinthine section are exceedingly unusual; normally the finding in this area is a distinction within the angulation of the nerve between the meatal foramen and the geniculate ganglion, which pertains to the depth of the interior auditory canal beneath the ground of the center fossa. Below the horizontal semicircular canal, the nerve could cw:ve more arutely, making the distinguished tum more susceptible to harm during an anttotom:y. In the mastoid phase bifun:ationJ and trifurc:ations are exceedingly rare, but when duplication exists, the nerves occupy separate bony canals and exit particular person foramina. Anomalies of the fallopian canal are suspect in congenital atresia of the middle ear and anomalies of the otic capsule (3). The nerve is positioned superior to these buildings and inferior to the horizontal semicircular canal. The higher mastoid phase lies posterior and medial to the chorda tympani and medial to the facial recess air cell tract. This lack of intratemporal organization makes interfascicular repair of the nerve proximal to the stylomastoid foramen impractical and unnecessary. Arterial Supply to the Facial Nerve Both the carotid and vertebrobasilar arterial systems~ rularize the intratemporal faci. The labyrinthine artery, a department of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery; supplies the blood supply to the nerve throughout the inner auditory canal. The intratemporal facial neiVe has a wealthy ex:trinsic anastomotic community to forestall ischemia. Anomalies of the Facial Nerve Anomalies of the facial nerve are mre, however their existence makes even essentially the most skilled otologic surgeon wary. Sudden refers to acute deterioration of facial function over a few days, both with or with out an antecedent occasion. Delayed refers to acute deterioration in dose temporal relationship with an antecedent event although facial operate is regular instantly following the event. When rapid deterioration happens in a nerve exhibiting irregular perform, the onset is taken into account gradual or progressive until there has been a lengthy interval of secure facial function. Recurrent refers to facial palsy that happens after a long period of stable restoration from a previous facial palsy. Incomplete paralysis or paresis is normally associated with good prognosis for recovery, except a neoplasm is identified. Complete paralysis sometimes carries a guarded prognosis for return of regular facial motion especially when accompanied by electrical proof of complete degeneration. Intense ear ache and a vesicular eruption are the hallmarks of herpes zoster oticus. Sensorineural hearing loss and vertigo are symptoms of advanced disease involving the labyrinth, the inner auditory canal, or brainstem. More widespread causes of recurrent palsy embrace Bell palsy and Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome. About 7% of sufferers with Bell palsy develop recurrent palsy, with half of the recurrences on the ipsilateral facet (6). Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome is usually familial, and the primary episode offacial palsy normally occurs before 20 years (7). Associated findings embrace facial edema, notably of the higher lip; fissured tongue; and migraine complications. Any thorough history encompasses other medical conditions that could be incriminated in the differential prognosis of the palsy: most cancers, sarcoidosis, autoimmune disorders, and previous surgeries within the posterior fossa, temporal bone. Otorrhea, purulent middle-ear effusion, or obvious cholesteatoma point out an infectious etiology. Slowly progressive weakness, temporal bone or parotid mass lesion, or segmental weakness (some branches paralyzed while others are spared) suggest a neoplasm.

The hyperventilation check is completed by first removing fixation, either by Frenzel lenses or infrared goggles, after which having the patient take one breath per second for 30 to ninety seconds. Nystagmus induced by hyperventilation is taken into account vital if it persists larger than 5 seconds and if the height slow-phase velocity is greater than 3 to four degrees per second, subtracting out any preexisting spontaneous nystagmus. If no nystagmus is provoked however the patient becomes symptomatic throughout the first 20 to 30 seconds, then anxiousness points are suspected. Hyperventilation-induced nystagmus can beat ipsilesionally (with the fast-phase beating towards the facet involved) or contralesionally (with the fast-phase beating away from the side involved). Headshake the headshake test additionally helps uncover asymmetries in peripheral and central vestibular system perform and serves as a sign of dynamic central compensation. Post headshake nystagmus is considered clinically important if a minimum of three to five consecutive beats of nystagmus are current directly following the headshake and if the nystagmus peak slow-phase velocity is bigger than 3 to 4 levels per second after subtracting out any preexisting spontaneous nystagmus (20,24-26). The headshake test has relatively low sensitivity (30% to 35%) but excessive specificity (90% to 95%) in peripheral vestibular problems, with the incidence of postheadshake nystagmus increasing because the severity of caloric paresis increases. Vertical nystagmus in response to both a horizontal or vertical headshake is incessantly seen in central vestibuloocular problems (29,30). Testing for Benign Paroxysmal Position Vertigo nystagmus that modifications direction in a onerous and fast head position are of central origin and are the exceptions to the nonlocali. However, if a video recording is out there that can be of use in reviewing the entire eye movements during the performance of the Hallpike or roll checks. Static Positional Testing the purpose of static positional testing is to study the impact of gravity on positional adjustments of the headotolithic affect. Positional nystagmus is present if the nystagmus is provoked by taking a provocative place that produces the jerk nystagmus that represents a change from spontaneous or not present spontaneously. Eye actions are recorded while the affected person assumes numerous positions that involve head turning and altering the place of the pinnacle relative to gravity. Direction-changing nystagmus may be further categorized as geotropic (nystagmus beating toward the earth) or apogeotropic (nystagmus beating away from the earth). Generally, positional nystagmus is nonlocalizing, needing the interpretation to be carried out within the context of the oculomotor findings. In caloric testing, a nonphysiologic stimulus (air or water) is utilized to induce stimulation or inhibition in the semicircular canals by creating a temperature gradient from the exterior auditory canal to the horizontal canal. The response is primarily the outcome of a stress differential across the cupula attributable to the temperature gradient coupled with putting the horizontal canal within the vertical plane, though different variables are additionally involved. Specifically, the pinnacle is positioned in order that the horizontal canal is oriented parallel to the gravitational vector, with the nose of the patient upward and the head tilted 30 degrees upward from the horizontal aircraft. This produces a deviation of the cupula towards the utricle because of the pressure differential throughout the cupula, inflicting stimulation of the eighth nerve. The reverse action occurs for the extra dense space of cooled fluid, inflicting inhibition. Specifically, open-loop water irrigations are sometimes carried out at 30 o C and 44 o C for cool and warm irrigations, respectively, whereas the appropriate air temperatures are 24 o C and 50 o C for cool and heat irrigations, respectively. Additionally, as a result of air is a less environment friendly stimulus, the duration of the irrigation must be elevated to have the ability to get hold of an optimal response. Recording time may also must be increased when air calories are used, notably within the case of a tympanic membrane perforation. In many scientific settings, the standard stimulus length for water irrigations is 30 to 40 seconds, whereas the standard stimulus duration for air is 60 to ninety seconds. Regardless of stimulus kind, every ear is often irrigated twice, alternating in such a method that the anticipated nystagmus path is totally different for subsequent irrigations. The interstimulus interval ought to be sufficient to allow the response from the earlier irrigation to have subsided utterly. Sensitivity and specificity of the caloric test in response to air has been reported as 82% and 82%, respectively, and in response to water as 84% and 84%, respectively (32). Less Commonly Available Assessment Techniques Secondary to the more restricted use of the following exams, the respective discussions are less detailed than these above. On-Axis Total Body Rotation-Rotational Chair the aim of the check is to increase the investigation of the peripheral vestibular system by applying natural head movements and using three end result parameters to characterize the peripheral vestibular system together with its central projections as to (a) the timing relationship between eye motion and regular state (sinusoidal protocol) or transient (a step test) head movement, (b) the overall responsiveness of the system to the stimulus, and (c) the responsiveness when rotating to the right versus the left In this fashion, the take a look at expands across frequency (beyond that of stimulation by caloric irrigations) the investigation of the operate of the peripheral vestibular techniques.

Dynamic motion of the airway is evaluated in three main anatomic locations: the nasopharynx. The nasopharynx is between the soft palate and the adenoid tonsils (small arrows). The oropharynx is between the tongue base and the posterior oropharyngeal wall (anowhe. Wc resonance imaging: evaluilion of persistent airway obstruction after tonsil and adenoidectomy in kids with Down syndrome. The base of tongue, with both macroglossia and glossoptosis, was the most important site of obstruction together with reament adenoids, every occurring in 63% to 74% of the children. Many of the surgical intervmtions aurently practiced are procedures which were accomplished for lots of yean in adults, however solely recently in kids, thus there are few end result studies awilable. Results are &equendy reported by way of parental satisfaction reviews with out goal knowledge. For those who continued to use it, mother and father overestimated the nighdy size of use by 1. One of the more critical adverse results limiting long-term use of thiJ therapy modality in kids iJ the potential for craniofacial modifications due to the mechanical forces applied to the maxilla from the nasal masks (61). Outcome research on using oral appliances have been primarily in adults with variable success. In addition to the increased nasal resistance related to a high arched palate and maxillary constriction. A recent examine additionally shawed improvement that pmisted up to 24 months after treatment (109). While full treatment is probably not achieved, surgery normally results in signifiomt impttm! The impulse is to therefore tackle a quantity of sites at a single swgical setting, as has been advocated within the grownup inhabitants (111, 112). In addition, vital enhancements in airway measurement may be achieved with solitar:y surgical procedures, lead to augmented airway dynamics, and reduce Bernoulli and Starling results inflicting collapse at different ranges (114). In these circumstances, a extra conservative excision of the taste bud, u desaibed within the Z-pharyngopla. Procedures on the bottom of tongue try to both decrease the bulk of the tongue tissue or help to immobilize the tongue base in an try to prevent collapse of the tongue base during sleep. This is a minimally invasive approach that provides a supporting sling to the tongue base as a treatment for glossoptosis (126-129). Wootten and Shott (130) reported their expertise with the Repose genioglossus advancement in 31 children, with a mean age of eleven year1 old, in 2010. Bone ruts via the anterior mandible create a full-thickness mandibular phase with connected genioglossus muscle. The bone is superior anteriorly and rotated and then secured to the suaounding mandibular bone, making use of anterior traction to the genioglossus muscle. Removal was initially carried out with electrocautery, utilizing an insulated blade and/or suction cautery, but this was difficult by vital postoperative ache. The use of the miaodebrider allows for sooner surgay however requires the use of electrocautery to control bleeding. On the other hand, the use of the coblation approach provides a good steadiness of pace, minimal tissue injury to surrounding areas, the power to cauterize bleeding with the identical instrument, and decreased postoperative pain. Mickelson and Rosenthal (132) describe remowl of a wedge of posterior tongue mucosa and muscle from 1 an anterior to the posterior circumvallate papilla to the base of the epiglottis. Because of the prolonged recavecy associated with the open woWld created by the wedge excision approach, submucosal excision of the tongue musculature has been described. Bone cuts by way of the anterior mandible aeate a full-1ftlckness mandibular phase with connected genioglossus muscle (A). The window by way of the anterior mandible Is positioned between the psychological fo� ramen (C). In both of those strategies, Doppler ultrasound is helpful to find the lingual arteries on both sides of the midline of the tongue, providing margins for surgical security from the extra laterally sitting hypoglossal nerve. Bleeding from the lingual artery, in addition to the potential for hypoglossal nerve injury, should also be mentioned as potential danger factors (137).

In most instances of high-grade mucoepidermoid cardnoma, adjuvant radiation therapy is really helpful to enhance locoregional management (23). High-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma is an aggressive tumor with a poorer prognosis than the low-grade variant. It is the second most common malignancy of the parotid gland however is the commonest malignancy of the submandibular and minor salivary glands (25). Adenoid cystic carcinoma occurs with equal frequency in women and men, usually within the fifth. Facial paralysis and pain happen as initial signs in a small proportion of patients. Grossly, the tumor is usually monolobular and both nonencapsulated or partially encapsulated. Different histologic patterns have been recognized together with a1b:rifonn, stable, and tubular. Complete swgical excision and postoperative radiation therapy is remmmended for the administration of this tumor (27). Long-tmn follow-up is mandatmy for these patients due to the gradual, relenlless diaease progression. Acinic Cell Carcinoma Acinic cell carcinoma constitutes approximately 17% of all salivary gland cancers. The tumor could be multicentric in 2% to 5% of instances, and it could contain each parotid glands (32,33). Elective therapy of the neck ia indicated for high-gmde circumstances of acinic cell carcinoma (32). Long term follow-up is mandatory as a end result of late native recurrences~ been shown to ocrur a few years after initial treatment. For low-grade lesions, 5- and 10-year disease-free sumvab ~ been reported to be roughly 91% and 88%, respectively (34). Five-year ove:rall survival for high-grade acinic cell carcinoma is far poorer at 33% (33). Cervical metastases are very uncommon, so a neck dissection is performed just for clinically constructive nodes. Carcinoma Ex Pleomorphic Adenoma Caldnoma ex pleomorphic adenoma represents a malignant tumor that has males from a preexisting or recurrent pleomorphic adenoma the malignant element and metastases from this tumor are purely epithelial in origin. Rarely, the malignancy can take the shape in which the tumor accommodates each mesenchymal and epithelial parts. The tumor may additionally be classified as noninvasive (in situ), minimally invasive (less than 1. The analysis could additionally be confusing due to the differing proportions of benign and malignant parts of the Adenocarcinoma Adenocarcinoma most commonly happens within the minor salivary glands adopted by the parotid gland 1his neoplasm represents roughly 12% of malignant parotid neoplasms (35). Adenocarcinomas ocrur equally in both sexes and usually present as a palpable mass. The diploma of glandular formation has been used as a way of grading these tumors. Complete surgical resection with postoperative radiation therapy is the beneficial treatment for this highgrade malignancy. Women are affected more commonly than males, and most of these neoplasms happen within the sixth decade of life. The typical presentation of this tumor is of a long-standing, asymptomatic mass on the palate (37). Typical histologic patterns embody strong, trabeculat glandulat cribriform, fasciculat cord-like, and papillary. Because of this, cautious pathologic analysis is obligatory as this neoplasm could be mistaken for pleomorphic adenoma or adenoid cystic carcinoma. Elective therapy of the neck is beneficial because charges of occult metastases have been shown to be about 20%. Other prognostic elements embody pathologic stage, tumor size, grade, proportion of cane~ and extent of invasion (41). Complete surgical resection with postoperative radiation therapy is the beneficial therapy for this highgrade malignancy (43). Salivary Duct Carcinoma Salivary duct carcinoma is a uncommon however aggressive malignancy of the salivary glands. The majority occur in the parotid gland (78%), adopted by the submandibular gland, and then the minor salivary glands (4 7).
