ABSTRACT

The article presents literature and our own data on surgical treatment and options for solving the problem of restenosis for congenital choanal atresia in children under one year of age. A new stentless choanoplasty technique using fibrin glue for fixation of posterior septal flaps is presented. This method has patent No. 2789967 dated February 14, 2023. OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of the effectiveness of the choanoplasty method using fibrin glue for fixation of flaps without the use of a stent in children of the first year of life with choanal atresia. MATERIAL AND METHODS: For the period from 2019 to 2023, a team of authors in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of the Veltishchev Research Clinical Institute of Pediatrics and Pediatric Surgery operated on 34 patients under the age of one year with a diagnosis of choanal atresia using this choanoplasty technique. RESULTS: The results of this new surgical technique using fibrin glue are presented. Endoscopy of the nasal cavity and choanal area in all 34 patients during follow-up (from 1 to 2 years) showed no signs of restenosis. CONCLUSION: The proposed method of choanoplasty without the use of stents with fixation of mucosal flaps with fibrin glue has proven itself well and can be used in children at any age, can be one of the ways to solve the problem of restenosis and seems to us to be the method of choice in the treatment of choanal atresia.

ABSTRACT

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a common disorder in childhood. Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea represents a demanding challenge for both paediatricians and otolaryngologists. This real-life study investigated the association of demographic and clinical factors on snoring and sleep apnea in children consecutively visited. In this study, 1,002 children (550 males, mean age 5.77 + 1.84 years), complaining upper airway symptoms, were prospectively enrolled during 2015-2017. Medical history, clinical examination, and fiberoptic nasopharyngoscopy were performed in all children. Tonsil hypertrophy significantly predicted sleep apnea (OR 95.08) and snoring (OR 5.44). Asthma comorbidity significantly predicted snoring (OR 2.26). Breastfeeding could be a protective factor for sleep apnea (OR =0.37). SDB is a frequent disorder observable in otorhinolaryngological practice. Tonsil hypertrophy and asthma could be considered predicting factors for both snoring and sleep apnea, whereas breastfeeding was a protective factor for SDB.

ABSTRACT

Acute otitis media (AOM) is the most common bacterial infection in children. Some children with AOM tend to be otitis-prone, such as frequent recurrence of AOM (RAOM). Possible RAOM risk factors are widely debated. The current study was performed in a real-life setting, such as an otorhinolaryngologic (ORL) clinic, to identify predictive factors, including clinical data and endoscopic findings, for RAOM in children. In this study, 1,002 children (550 males, 452 females, mean age 5.77 + 1.84 years) complaining of upper airway symptoms were consecutively visited. Detailed clinical history and nasal endoscopy were performed. Throughout the ORL visit, it was possible to define some factors involved in the recurrence of AOM, including female gender, artificial feeding, tonsillar and adenoid hypertrophy. Adenoid and tonsillar hypertrophy, female gender, and artificial are factors significantly associated with RAOM. Therefore, reducing adenoid and tonsil size, also using topical corticosteroids or glycyrrhizin, could be a reasonable strategy to potentially reduce adenoid and tonsil size. The current study suggests that also in a primary care setting, it is possible to achieve meaningful information that is relevant in clinical practice.

ABSTRACT

Acute respiratory infections (ORI) consistently occupy one of the leading places among infectious and inflammatory diseases in children. Most often, antibacterial drugs are used to stop the inflammatory process in the pharynx. Cationic peptides have an extremely broad antimicrobial spectrum, rendering the effect not only in bacterial infections and mycoses, and protozoans. THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: To demonstrate that the test drug is effective and safe for the treatment of acute viral pharyngitis in childhood. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In the period from September 2019 to January 2020, 120 patients aged 6 to 18 years were treated with the drug «Doritricin¼ for viral pharyngitis. RESULTS: According to the research results it can be concluded that «Diretrizes¼ provides fast and high effect in pediatric practice.

ABSTRACT

Allergic rhinitis, according to modern data, affects up to a quarter of the population of developed countries. The disease affects not only the nasal mucosa, but also affects the receptors and mediators of inflammation in the bone marrow. A significant decrease in the quality of life of patients against the background of exacerbation of allergic rhinitis makes us look for new approaches to both the treatment of attacks and their prevention. Correction, including surgical, of concomitant pathology of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses significantly improves the quality of life of patients with allergic rhinitis. For a long time, surgical treatment of concomitant pathology of the nasal cavity in children was extremely limited due to the risk of damage to the growth zones and, as a consequence, a high probability of recurrence of deformation of the structures of the nose and paranasal sinuses. With the development of endoscopic methods of surgical treatment of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, operations with minimal invasiveness and, as a consequence, safe at any age were introduced into practice. Surgical intervention on the structures of the lymphoid pharyngeal ring in children with allergic rhinitis is causing heated debate in the pediatric community to date. The article considers modern approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of allergic rhinitis in children. Topical problems of conservative and surgical treatment are discussed. Special attention is paid to the safety of various treatment regimens. The discussed practical issues of tactics of treatment of allergic rhinitis are relevant for both pediatric allergists and ENT pediatricians.

ABSTRACT

This article reports a rare observation of the development of chronic polypous pansinusitis with deformation of the external nose in a 8 year-old child presenting with primary ciliary dyskinesia syndrome. The patient underwent multiple surgical interventions in the preceding period. The key argument in favour of the definitive diagnosis was the results of investigation of ciliated epithelium biopsy taken from the nasal cavity and bronchi in combination with the data obtained by diagnostic endoscopy of the nasal cavity and nasopharynx supplemented by computed tomography. The proposed treatment strategy including endoscopic endonasal pansinusotomy, antibacterial therapy taking into consideration the sensitivity of the seeded microorganism, and hormonal therapy proved optimal for the management of the given patient.
