Subglottic Stenosis Complicating Cardiac Surgery in

Peritonsillar Abscess in Early Childhood: Presentation

and Management

Children under five years old who exhibit poor oral intake, a high fever and drooling might have a peritonsillar abscess.

Outpatient Adenotonsillectomy: Is it Safe in Children

Younger than 3 Years?

Dr. Rande Lazar, a Memphis otolaryngologist with a primary focus in pediatric ear, nose, and throat disorders and their treatments, participated in a research study about outpatient adenotonsillectomy and the safety of the procedure in children younger than three years. While the procedure can safely be performed as an outpatient operation, and the patient sent home the same day, there are concerns about compromising the safety of patients under the age of three when they are discharged on the same day. In this paper at the Memphis Ear Nose and Throat blog, Dr Lazar and his colleagues investigate the safety of the procedure.

Endoscopic Drainage of Subperiosteal Abscess in

Children: A Pilot Study

Subperiosteal abscess is a serious complication of sinusitis predominantly affecting children. The traditional approach to draining this abscess is drainage through an external incision; however, in this study, it was treated with functional endonasal sinus surgery. Ten pediatric patients with clinical and CT evidence of the subperiosteal abscess were treated.

Despite days of treatment for their sinusitis, these patients’ symptoms were increasing, not abating. Tests pointed to subperiosteal abscesses. Once treated with endoscopic surgery, all patients showed significant improvement within just 12 to 24 hours. The patients were treated with antibiotics following surgery.

No complications or returning abscesses were found during a follow-up visit after 2 to 3 weeks. The study appears to confirm that endoscopic drainage of subperiosteal abscess offers the patient an alternative to traditional drainage methods – one that prevents an external scar.

Children with chronic sinusitis

Because chronic sinusitis can be so difficult to pin down, managing the disease and determining the patient’s need for surgery requires evaluating the disease. X-ray films do miss many things that show up on computed tomography (CT) scans, including slight variations and anatomic structures. Rande Lazar, a Memphis ENT with a pediatric focus, did a study comparing CT, x-rays, and a few other scanning techniques for their effectiveness in detecting chronic sinusitis symptoms.

Though CT scans vastly outperformed all other scanning techniques, determinations about a diagnosis or possible surgery should still be made considering symptoms and physical exams along with the results of the CT scan.
