    Abstract We present a case of a 58-year-old male with type II diabetes managed with metformin and insulin, who presented to the clinic with left chronic otitis media, persistent drainage, a stenotic meatus, and a prior history of 3 canal wall-down mastoidectomies and antibiotic therapy. A revision tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy was performed, and during the postoperative period, the patient had persistent pain and otorrhea, which were managed with opioids and several courses of antibiotic therapy. After symptoms persisted, imaging and culture ultimately led to the diagnosis of fungal skull base osteomyelitis, which was eventually treated successfully. While these complications are rare, their likelihood is increased with treatment delay and in the immunocompromised patient. Close management of immunocompromised patients, including diabetic patients, is vital in identifying complications early to aid in timely diagnosis and treatment to lead to the best possible outcome.

    Abstract Abstract: Cochlear spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) are bipolar ganglion cells and are the first neurons in the auditory transduction pathway. They transmit complex acoustic information from hair cells to second-order sensory neurons in the cochlear nucleus for sound processing. Injury to SGNs causes largely irreversible hearing impairment because these neurons are highly differentiated cells and cannot regenerate, making treatment of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) arising from SGN injury difficult. When exposed to ototoxic drugs or damaging levels of noise or when there is loss of neurotrophic factors (NTFs), aging, and presence of other factors, SGNs can be irreversibly damaged, resulting in SNHL. It has been found that NTFs and stem cells can induce regeneration among dead spiral ganglion cells. In this paper, we summarized the present knowledge regarding injury, protection, and regeneration of SGNs.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the utility of the so-called "second window" of indocyanine green (ICG) as a near-infrared fluorescent dye for intraoperative visualization.
    Patients: Three patients who underwent surgical resection of vestibular schwannoma (two retrosigmoid and one middle fossa approach).
    Interventions: Patients underwent intravenous infusion of ICG at a mean dose of 4.8 mg/kg at a mean of 15.3 hours before surgical incision. Once tumor dissection began, near-infrared fluorescence was used alongside conventional operative microscopy to visualize tumor tissue.
    Main outcome measures: Ability to distinguish tumor tissue from adjacent nerves.
    Results: Intraoperative fluorescence allowed for enhanced visualization of the tumor-nerve plane in all patients. However, the effect varied among patients, and the effect faded with increasing surgical time.
    Conclusions: ICG, a well-tolerated cyanine dye, demonstrates late fluorescence hours after administration secondary to diffusion into tumor as well as normal tissues (the so-called "second window" of fluorescence). Its fluorescence in the near-infrared spectrum is a promising adjunct for enhancing visualization of tumor planes during vestibular schwannoma surgery.

    Abstract Objective: The goal of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a minimally invasive approach to the middle cranial fossa using a novel endaural keyhole.
    Methods: The charts of all patients who underwent this novel minimally invasive approach to the middle cranial fossa were retrospectively reviewed. In addition, cadaveric dissection was performed to demonstrate the feasibility of the endaural keyhole to the middle cranial fossa.
    Results: Six patients (5 female and 1 male; age range 47-77 years) who underwent craniotomy for CSF leak (n = 3), intracerebral hematoma evacuation (n = 2), and tumor resection (n = 1) via the endaural subtemporal approach were identified. There were no approach-related complications noted. Representative imaging from cadaveric dissection is provided with a stepwise discussion of the procedure.
    Conclusions: The endaural subtemporal keyhole craniotomy provides a novel approach to middle fossa skull base pathology, as well as a minimally invasive approach to intra-axial pathology of the temporal lobe and basal ganglia. Further research is needed to establish the limitations and potential complications of this novel approach.

    Abstract Objectives/hypothesis: To identify medical risk factors associated with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD).
    Study design: Retrospective case-control study.
    Methods: During a 2-year period (2013-2014) patients with newly diagnosed ANSD were identified at a tertiary care facility. Twenty-two patients (n = 22) were identified aged 0.5 to 8.1 years. There were 15 males and seven females. Sixteen had bilateral, four had left-sided, and two had right-sided ANSD. Two age-matched, side-matched, and gender-matched control groups were then collected. The first group was 22 normal-hearing children (n = 22). The second was 22 children with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) (n = 22) who did not meet the criteria for ANSD. The chart of each subject was reviewed for the following five-predictor variables: prematurity, low birth weight, jaundice, use of mechanical ventilation, and administration of ototoxic medications. Analysis of variance was performed to analyze the prevalence of perinatal risk factors among the three groups. Multivariate linear regression was then applied.
    Results: When comparing the ANSD group to both the normal-hearing and SNHL groups, the subjects with ANSD had statistically significant higher rates of prematurity, low birth weight, jaundice, and mechanical ventilation. Multiple regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of ANSD compared to each control group individually. Jaundice in the first month of life approached significance when comparing the ANSD group to the normal-hearing group, and was the only medical risk factor found to be statistically significant when comparing the ANSD group to the SNHL group.
    Conclusions: A history of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia was significantly more common in children with ANSD compared to children with severe SNHL.

    Abstract Objective: To characterize the clinical features of patients with congenital hearing loss and unilateral cochlear nerve canal stenosis (CNCS).
    Methods: A retrospective review of 12 patients with unilateral CNCS diagnosed between January 2018 and December 2019 at a tertiary referral hospital was performed.
    Results: Of the 12 patients identified, there were 6 males and 6 females. All patients presented with hearing loss, with no other chief complaints. Two patients had accessory auricles. Eleven patients had a severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss on the affected side, while 1 patient had an isolated high-frequency hearing loss. Nine patients demonstrated atresia of the cochlear nerve canal (CNC), while three patients had a stenotic, but patent, CNC.
    Conclusion: Prompt radiologic diagnosis of patients with unilateral CNCS is important for patient counseling and appropriate rehabilitation.
