Patients receiving early injection medialization for vocal cord paralysis were less likely to require transcervical reconstruction. We believe that early medialization creates a more favorable vocal cord position for phonation that can be maintained by synkinetic reinnervation, in contrast to the final position of a lateralized vocal cord being determined solely by reinnervation.

This prospective investigation provided evidence that bevacizumab injections enhanced KTP laser treatment of glottal papillomatosis without systemic or local complications. Coupling the antiangiogenesis agent bevacizumab with KTP laser photoangiolysis is conceptually synergistic and scientifically promising since the mechanisms of action are complementary.

The presenting symptoms of isolated sphenoid sinus disease can be nonspecific and may result in an inordinate delay in diagnosis. Nasal endoscopy and radiologic imaging are central to making an accurate and timely diagnosis. Medical treatment or minimally invasive surgical techniques can successfully manage the majority of patients with persistent or refractory symptoms.
