“…To note, two studies were excluded after title and abstract review and one was not retrieved, while the full text of the remaining fifty-one articles were examined for further review. Finally, five studies were screened for eligibility and included in this systematic review [17][18][19][20][21]. A total of 182 patients were described in the selected studies, as summarized in Table 1.…”

“…Despite these promising initial reports and case series, the application of the 3D 4K exoscope within pediatric contexts remains relatively underexplored. In recent years, the literature has witnessed the emergence of numerous case reports focused on the realm of brain surgery [17,18]. However, within the sphere of ORL and head and neck surgery in pediatric cases, only a limited number of published pediatric series have been made available [19,20].…”

This PRISMA-compliant systematic review aimed to investigate the use of and the most common procedures performed with the novel 3D 4K exoscope in surgical pediatric head and neck settings. Methods: Search criteria were applied to PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Review databases and included all studies published up to January 2023 reporting 3D 4K exoscope-assisted surgeries in pediatric patients. After the removal of duplicates, selection of abstracts and full-text articles, and quality assessment, we reviewed eligible articles for number of patients treated, age, surgical procedures, and outcomes. Results: Among 54 potentially relevant records, 5 studies were considered eligible and included in this systematic review, with reported treatment data for 182 patients. The surgical procedures belong to the otologic field (121 cases), head and neck surgery (25 cases) and transoral surgery (36 cases). Exoscopy allowed high quality visualization of anatomical structures during cochlear implantation and during reconstruction in head and neck surgery; moreover, it improved the surgical view of surgeons, spectators and ENT students. Conclusions: The use of 3D 4K exoscopy has shown promising potential as a valuable tool in pediatric ORL-head and neck surgery; nevertheless, further validation of these encouraging outcomes is necessary through larger-scale studies specifically focused on pediatric patients.

“…Surgery is exceedingly difficult and risky because of the anatomy of the skull base and the presence of numerous vital structures, especially in patients with locally advanced recurring tumors. [17][18][19] Resection should be followed by radiotherapy even if the tumor borders are free of malignancy. Overall, the role of chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) is uncertain because studies yield contradictory results regarding overall survival.…”

Posterior fossa giant adenoid cystic carcinoma with skull base invasion mimicking glomus jugulare: A case report and review of literature

The author describes a rare case of giant adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) mimicking large paraganglioma with lower cranial nerve palsy. A 60-year-old female presented with a progressive increase in postauricular swelling with unilateral hearing loss, facial deviation, difficulty in swallowing, and hoarseness of voice. MRI brain showed highly vascular infiltrating and osteolytic mass suggestive of large glomus jugulare versus sarcoma. It was completely engulfing the jugular foramen and lower cranial nerves with bony erosion of the jugular foramen and occipital condyle. The whole mastoid was filled with the tumor. On digital subtraction angiography the majority of blood supply was from the occipital branch of the external carotid artery and vertebral artery. The patient underwent percutaneous embolization followed by external carotid ligation and resection of the mass. The postoperative course was uneventful. Histopathology was suggestive of mixed ACCs. The patient received radiotherapy. After 1 year of follow up no recurrence or distant metastasis was noted.
