    Abstract Purpose: Recent approaches for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis including local injection of bevacizumab and HPV vaccination show promise in reducing the need for frequent surgeries. In this study we propose a new combined approach of surgery, intralesional injection of 25 mg bevacizumab and HPV vaccine that can lead to resolution of RRP.
    Material and methods: Our study involved 5 patients treated with a combination of transoral microsurgery, intralesional injection of 25 mg bevacizumab, and HPV vaccination with Gardasil 9 between April 2020 and May 2023. Standard video laryngoscopy was performed to assess the presence of papilloma and Derkay score was used to assess the severity of disease.
    Results: All 5 patients completed the study successfully and a complete response was achieved by all. The follow-up ranged from 8 to 45 months. The mean total Derkay score before treatment was 41 (range 25 to 52) and after the combined approach was 0 both anatomically and clinically in all patients.
    Conclusions: This study demonstrates the effectiveness of a combined treatment approach for RRP involving surgical intervention, intralesional injection of bevacizumab, and HPV vaccination.

    Abstract Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare congenital autosomal recessive disease that produces impairment of mucosal ciliary movement. Children with this disorder usually manifest recurrent and chronic infections of the upper and lower airways. We describe the history of a 12-month-old boy in whom the correct diagnosis of PCD was achieved after the occurrence of ethmoid mucocele associated with omolateral proptosis. A careful description of this new feature of PCD and its dangerous complications are also presented.
