    Abstract Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has dramatically spread all over the world, crossing the borders of all countries. It is presented mainly by lower respiratory tract symptoms such as fever, cough, dyspnea, and chest tightness. However, COVID-19 causes different upper respiratory tract-related symptoms including nasal congestion, sore throat, and olfactory dysfunction.
    Objective: To discuss different ear, nose and throat (ENT) manifestations in COVID-19-positive patients and their relation to other manifestations and to the severity of COVID-19.
    Methods: We detected ENT manifestations in polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-confirmed positive COVID-19 patients at Zagazig Isolation Hospitals (Zagazig University hospitals, Zagazig Chest hospital, Al-Ahrar hospital, and Zagazig Fever hospital) with proportional allocation in the period from April 15 to June 15, 2020. All patients were subjected to full history taking and COVID-19 was categorized into 4 classes of severity after all patients underwent computed tomography (CT) of the chest. Afterwards, the collected data was analyzed and compared.
    Results: Among the included 120 COVID-19 patients, the most frequent reported ENT manifestations were; sore throat (30%), nasal congestion (28.3%), nasal obstruction (26.7%), sneezing (26.6%), headache (25%), smell and taste dysfunction (25%), rhinorrhea (20%), upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) (15%), and tonsil enlargement (10%). The most common non-ENT manifestations were fever (88.3%), cough (63.3%), and dyspnea (45%).
    Conclusion: Fever and cough are the dominant symptoms of COVID-19, but ENT manifestations for COVID-19 are common and should be a part of the suspected clinical criteria for COVID-19, particularly if the nasal examination was nonsignificant. The most common symptoms are sore throat, followed by nasal congestion and obstruction, headache, and lastly, olfactory dysfunction.

    Abstract Surgical removal of head-neck vascular neoplasms may have severe complications, although surgery remains a very important treatment modality. One of the most important aspects is to avoid the rupture of the tumor's capsule and to minimize functional complications, especially in the excision of benign tumors. The transoral robotic surgery allows removing lesions in challenging anatomical areas. Furthermore, the current robotic instrumentation does not allow a fine dissection of the structures and capsule rupture is a potential event. Here, the authors describe a minimally invasive technique using transoral robotic surgery for removal of vascular tumors in head-neck. Particular attention was given to the description of the diagnostic work up, the preoperative assessment and the surgical steps. No complications were encountered postoperatively. Transoral robotic surgery for vascular tumors appears to be a safe and feasible technique with minimal complications.

    Abstract Objective: To develop a systematic approach for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis, imaging spectrum, and classification system for the staging of post-COVID-19 head and neck mucormycosis.
    Method: The study included 63 post-COVID-19 patients with pathologically proven mucormycosis who underwent head and neck MR imaging. Three independent radiologists assessed the imaging spectrum of mucormycosis, MRI characteristics of sino-nasal mucormycosis, and extra-sinus extension, and submitted a final staging using a systematic approach and a proposed categorization system. A consensus reading was considered the reference imaging standard. The kappa statistics were used to assess the categorization system's diagnostic reliability.
    Results: The overall interreader agreement of the MR staging system was very good (k-score = 0.817). MR imaging spectrum involved localized sino-nasal mucormycosis (n = 7 patients, 11.1%), sino-nasal mucormycosis with maxillo-facial soft tissue extension (n = 28 patients, 44.5 %), sino-nasal mucormycosis with maxillo-facial bony extension (n = 7 patients, 11.1%), sino-naso-orbital mucormycosis (n = 13 patients, 20.6%), and sino-nasal mucormycosis with cranium or intracranial extension (n = 8 patients, 12.7%). Extra-sinus extension to the orbit and brain did not have significant association with involvement of the posterior ethmoid/sphenoid sinuses and maxillo-facial regions (p > 0.05). MRI-based staging involved four stages: stage 1 (n = 7, 11.1%); stage 2 (n = 35, 55.6%), and stage 3 (n = 13, 20.6%), and stage 4 (n = 8, 12.7%). Involvement of the bone and MR-based staging were significant predictors of patients' mortality p = 0.012 and 0.033, respectively.
    Conclusion: This study used a diagnostic-reliable staging method to define the imaging spectrum of post-COVID-19 head and neck mucormycosis and identify risk variables for extra-sinus extension.

    Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate outcomes related to swallowing function in patients who underwent transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for sleep apnea on both short- and long-term scales. 78 patients who underwent TORS for sleep apnea between 2011 and 2014 were followed up for an average period of 20 ± 7.12 months (range 7-32 months), then swallowing outcomes determined by MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (MDADI) questionnaire, gastrografin fluoroscopy imaging results, nasogastric tube dependence and subjectively by recording the patients' complaints were analyzed and reported. Minimal insignificant short-term impact on swallowing function (4.58 ± 7.03 preoperative MDADI score versus 5.18 ± 8.32 post-operative) (p = 0.56) was registered. Mean time for start of oral feeding was 1.05 ± 0.25 days (average, 1-3). In no case nasogastric tube feeding was required. Only five patients (6 %) showed significant aspiration on gastrografin fluoroscopy examination after 1 week; there was no significant correlation between the volume of tissue removed from both tongue base and epiglottis to the incidence of aspiration as shown by gastrografin fluoroscopy examination (p = 0.72). No long-term swallowing complaint was registered. Patients who underwent TORS tongue base reduction and supraglottoplasty for sleep apnea proved to have a reasonable short-term swallowing outcomes with no long-term sequelae.

    Abstract Objectives: To compare the results of powered intracapsular tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (PITA) with that of conventional extracapsular tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (ECTA) in treatment of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as regard efficacy, complications including postoperative pain and bleeding, and quality of life.
    Methods: Four hundred fifty children with adenotonsillar hyperplasia (with age range from 3 to 14 years) underwent tonsillectomy ± adenoidectomy (251 PITA and 199 ECTA) from January 2012 till October 2014 for OSA. Outcome measures included Obstructive Sleep Apnea Survey (OSA-18), the number of cases treated for post tonsillectomy bleeding with particular regard to the number of cases that needed readmission, the need for analgesics, the visual analog scale (VAS) for post-operative pain, the perceived satisfaction assessed by post tonsillectomy quality of life questionnaire (QOL).
    Results: OSA-18 scores proved that both PITA and ECTA were equally effective in curing upper airway obstructive symptoms as reflected by the targeted questionnaire. Postoperative bleeding was significantly lower in the PITA group (P<0.01). Postoperative pain and number of needed analgesic doses were significantly lower in the PITA group (P=0.01, P<0.01, respectively). Satisfaction and quality of life were significantly higher in the PITA group (P<0.01).
    Conclusion: PITA is proved to be effective in treating pediatric OSA with less morbidity, less complications in terms of postoperative bleeding mainly with better satisfaction and lower incidence of regrowth.

    Abstract Objectives: The olfactory bulb (OB) is thought to be a plastic structure with highly active afferent neurons. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of olfactory deprivation caused by sinonasal polyps on OB volume.
    Study design: Cross-sectional study.
    Setting: Tertiary university hospital, Department of Otolaryngology.
    Subjects and methods: Twenty-two subjects were included: 11 adult patients with bilateral allergic sinonasal polyposis (patient group) and 11 adult healthy controls (control group). Both study groups were matched for age and sex. OB volumes in all study subjects were evaluated in T2-weighted coronal MRI images by planimetric manual contouring.
    Results: In the patient group, OB volume measurements ranged from 5.2 to 19.5 mm(3) (mean ± SD, 10.14 ± 3.8). In the control group, volume measurements ranged from 35 to 75.8 mm(3) (mean ± SD, 47.66 ± 10.75). The difference in OB volumes between patient and control groups was statistically significant (P < .001).
    Conclusion: Our study highlights the significant reduction in OB volume in patients with bilateral sinonasal polyposis as compared with its volume in healthy controls. Further studies are required to evaluate the impact of OB volume reduction on olfactory recovery postoperatively.
