    Abstract Abstract: Acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (mucormycosis) is a rare, highly fatal disease. This opportunistic fungal infection causes angioinvasion and ischemic tissue necrosis. It mainly affects immunocompromised patients. Since the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, many case reports have described the rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis associated with COVID-19. However, the underlying predisposing factors are unknown. Several factors, other than diabetes, which is the most well-known contributing factor, may be involved in causing this severe fungal infection in COVID-19 patients. These factors may include steroid therapy, which is being used in severely dyspneic patients, the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics that may cause fungal flare-ups, and hospitalization with possible nosocomial infections. In addition, increased serum ferritin levels, possible endothelial damage, and pancreatic islets affection among COVID-19 patients may be implicated. Head and neck surgeons should be aware of the increasing prevalence of craniofacial mucormycosis among COVID-19 patients, as early diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential to improve the outcomes.

    Abstract Encountering a nasopharyngeal polyp in a patient with submucous cleft palate (SMCP) is a difficult problem, as the lesion could support the weak palate. Removal of this lesion may unmask the SMCP with consequent worsening of speech nasality. Nasal septal polyp protruding to the nasopharynx in a patient with SMCP has not been reported before in the literature. This report describes a septal polyp arising from the posterior border of the nasal septum and protruding in the nasopharynx in a 16-year-old girl with submucous cleft palate. The polyp appeared to support the weak palate, and they acted as a ball and socket during speech articulation. Removal of this polyp may result in velopharyngeal insufficiency. Trans-nasal endoscopic removal of the polyp with obturation of the velopharyngeal port with a superiorly-based pharyngeal flap was performed in the same sitting. Pre- and postoperative speech evaluation using auditory perceptual assessment and nasometry revealed no worsening of nasality, also the patient reported improvement of her nasal breathing. We concluded that, the presence of a nasopharyngeal polyp in a patient with SMCP may compensate the speech problem. Removal of the polyp and treatment of SMCP by a pharyngeal flap in one-sitting is an effective procedure without adverse effect on patient's speech.

    Abstract Background: Children with cleft palate are more liable to have obstructive sleep apnea than children with normal palate due to narrow airways. Tonsillar hypertrophy is a common cause of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea; hence, it is not surprising to be encountered during cleft palate repair. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of tonsillectomy and Furlow palatoplasty performed as a 1-stage operation in patients presenting with submucous cleft palate (SMCP) and tonsillar hypertrophy.
    Materials and methods: Eleven pediatric patients with SMCP and hypertrophied tonsils were included in this case series study. Furlow palatoplasty and tonsillectomy were performed for the patients in 1 sitting. The evaluation of velopharyngeal function was done preoperatively and postoperatively via auditory-perceptual-assessment, nasometry, and flexible nasopharyngoscopy. In addition, the Epworth sleepiness scale for children/adolescents was administered to the parents to assess daytime sleepiness of their children.
    Results: The speech improved postoperatively. Auditory-perceptual-assessment showed significant reductions in hypernasal speech, nasal air escape, and weak pressure consonants. In addition, nasometry revealed significantly decreased nasalance scores for nasal and oral sentences. A postoperative increased velar movement was observed with a significant improvement in velopharyngeal closure. The preoperative Epworth sleepiness scale for children/adolescents assessment revealed excessive daytime sleepiness in 8 patients, with significant improvement of scores postoperatively.
    Conclusions: Removal of hypertrophied tonsils during the repair of SMCP with Furlow palatoplasty did not negatively affect speech outcome or velar movement postoperatively. It is logical to perform both procedures simultaneously in 1 sitting to avoid postoperative sleep-related breathing disorder, which may necessitate a second stage operation.

    Abstract Abstract: A recent history of smell disorder may be a potential predictor for COVID-19. The authors used a subjective olfaction score that was demonstrated on a hard paper-bar. The authors examined 480 patients who were attending the outpatient clinic. Ninety-seven patients (20.2%) demonstrated variable degrees of recent smell disorder. For those patients, lab testing including nasopharyngeal swab for real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed. Eighty-eight of them (90.7%) have been confirmed to be COVID-19 positive. Although psychophysical testing is more reliable, subjective assessment of smell is a rapid procedure and can be used as an office-based method for patients' screening in COVID-19 era. Smell disorder could be an alarming sign for COVID-19 even with absent characteristic symptoms.

    Abstract Abstract: Children with down syndrome (DS) are more liable to develop obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) which is usually treated with adenotonsillectomy. However, OSA may persist in many of those patients after the procedure. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE)-directed treatment in management of DS children with persistent OSA after adenotonsillectomy. Sixteen DS children with persistent OSA after adenotonsillectomy were evaluated. DISE was done in the operating theatre to identify the site of obstruction, and surgical intervention was performed according to the finding. Polysomnographic study was used pre- and post-operatively to measure the outcome. DISE revealed obstruction in different sites of the airway. DISE-directed treatment was done according to the site of obstruction. Polysomnographic study showed postoperative significant changes for all parameters. The authors achieved improvement of overall apnea-hypopnea index which was normalized in seven patients (44%). In conclusion, DISE-directed treatment is an effective procedure for persistent OSA in DS children who underwent adenotonsillectomy. However, residual obstruction in those children may be due to many characteristic features that cause narrowing of the airway.
