    Abstract With upper airway obstruction being an emergency, a high index of suspicion and proper and timely treatment planning are crucial to the patient's life. Spontaneous esophageal perforation, also known as Boerhaave syndrome, has been observed to cause subcutaneous emphysema; however, airway compromise secondary to subcutaneous emphysema is extremely rare when there is no associated broncho-tracheal injury. Here, we present a case of esophageal perforation complicated with cervical emphysema that led to acute airway obstruction requiring invasive ventilation.

    Abstract Objective: Ossicular discontinuity may result from chronic suppurative otitis media and is usually detected intraoperatively. Our objective is to determine whether a preoperative audiogram can preoperatively predict the presence or absence of ossicular discontinuity.
    Methods: A cross-sectional study was prospectively run on our patients, aged 12-75 years, ultimately operated on for chronic suppurative otitis media. Preoperative audiograms were analyzed to measure frequency-specific air-bone gap (ABG) cutoff values. Intraoperatively, ossicular chain integrity was carefully checked. Logistic regression analysis was done to obtain a predictive model.
    Results: A total of 270 patients (306 ears) were included. Frequency-specific ABG cutoff values can predict ossicular discontinuity, namely: high ABGs at 1,000 Hz (>27.5 dB) and 2,000 Hz (>17.5 dB) are the most reliable variables associated with ossicular discontinuity.
    Conclusion: Preoperative audiograms can predict the presence of ossicular discontinuity in chronic suppurative otitis media. Large ABGs at both 1,000 and 2,000 Hz can predict ossicular discontinuity with a great degree of certainty.

    Abstract Objective: To show the efficiency of using transmastoid atticotomy (TMA) endoscopy on the outcome of ossiculoplasty in patients with cholesteatoma. TMA is often performed as part of the surgical management of patients with middle ear cholesteatoma extending to the epitympanum. TMA can also be used as an access for endoscopic view to confirm the right alignment and stability of the ossicular prosthesis because the reconstruction of the tympanic membrane will obscure the visualization of the prosthesis.
    Methods: A retrospective study was done at a tertiary referral institute, including 133 ears with cholesteatoma that underwent canal wall-up tympanomastoidectomy (CWU) with ossicular reconstruction using titanium prosthesis between August 2013 and August 2015. Post packing of the ear canal and position, stability, and axis of the prosthesis were checked using endoscope positioned in the attic through TMA. A postoperative pure-tone average air-bone gap (ABG) of 20 dB or less was considered as a successful hearing result. Results are compared with historical control groups.
    Results: Of the 133 ears, 88 patients underwent reconstruction with partial ossicular replacement prosthesis (PORP), whereas the rest (45 patients) had total ossicular replacement prosthesis (TORP). A postoperative ABG ≤ 20 dB was obtained in 77.4% of all the patients (79.5% for PORP; 73.3% for TORP).
    Conclusion: Endoscopic assessment of the ossicular prosthesis via the attic, after repositioning of the tympanomeatal flap and packing the ear canal, decreases the risk of immediate ossiculoplasty failure and improves the functional outcome after ossicular chain reconstruction in cholesteatoma surgery.

    Abstract Objectives/hypothesis: There is no consensus among clinicians regarding the best treatment strategy for adhesive otitis media (AdOM). It is common practice to only intervene in the presence of recurrent infections or significant conductive hearing loss. In an attempt to provide evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of surgical intervention, we have analyzed the long-term outcome of tympanoplasty for AdOM .
    Study design: Prospective study.
    Methods: From January 2013 to April 2014, 57 patients with AdOM (60 ears) who fit our criteria for tympanoplasty were recruited and underwent tympanoplasty using tragal cartilage combined with transtympanic ventilation tube and cortical mastoidectomy. Otorrhea control, graft uptake, hearing level changes, and complications were evaluated within a 3-year period of follow-up.
    Results: Otorrhea was controlled in 94% of the ears. Tympanic membrane healing was achieved in all ears except one ear, which had myringitis. Overall there was significant improvement in hearing. Whereas the mean preoperative air-bone gap (ABG) was 30.4 ± 4.0 dB, postoperative mean ABG was 8.6 ± 6.9 dB at 1 year. Closure of ABG to within 20 dB was achieved in 46 ears (83.6%). One ear showed a drop in bone conduction level by 25 dB. No iatrogenic cholesteatoma was detected in any of the cases.
    Conclusion: This study demonstrated that tympanoplasty has favorable outcomes in AdOM . Risks of iatrogenic sensorineural hearing loss or cholesteatoma formation are negligible.
