I read the manuscript entitled “The use of laryngeal mask for adenoidectomy” by Boroda et al. [1]. The manuscript is so valuable study. The study attempts to identify the rate and contributing factors of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) failure during adenoidectomy. The adenoids were removed with suction bovie electrocautery in th is study. There are also other techniques for adenoidectomy, such as conventional technique, curettage, and endoscopic microdebrider asisted adenoidectomy [2,3]. I prefer conventional technique, curettage of adenoidectomy. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology)

External auditory canal: Inferior, posterior-inferior, and anterior canal wall overhangs
To characterize anatomic variants of the external ear canal (EAC), specifically canal wall overhangs. EAC overhangs are problematic since they obstruct the view of the tympanic membrane (TM) and middle ear, possibly creating diagnostic and surgical difficulties.

Endoscope-assisted nasal dermoid excision with an open rhinoplasty approach
Congenital midline nasal masses have been traditionally excised through rhinotomies and bicoronal incisions. These approaches are disfiguring and potentially morbid, leading pediatric otolaryngologists to seek out less invasive, endoscopic-assisted approaches. Here we present a nasal dermoid excised with a minimally invasive, endoscopic assisted open rhinoplasty approach. The preoperative workup as well as perioperative steps for excision are documented, with the hope that this will assist other practitioners with this approach.

Comparison of the Reynell Developmental Language Scale II and the Galker test of word-recognition-in-noise in Danish day-care children
To search for predictive factors for language development measured by two receptive language tests for children, the Galker test (a word-recognition-in-noise test) testing hearing and vocabulary, and the Danish version of Reynell Developmental Language Scale (2nd revision, RDLS II) test, a language comprehension test. The study analysed if information about background variables and parents and pre-school teachers was predictive for test scores; if earlier middle ear disease, actual hearing loss and tympanometry was important for language development; and if the two receptive tests differed in terms of the degree to which v...

2q24 deletion in a 9-month old girl with anal atresia, hearing impairment, and hypotonia
Deletion of 2q24.2 is a rare cytogenetic aberration in patients, exhibiting heterogeneous clinical features, and common phenotypes included developmental delay, intellectual disability, hypotonia, and mild dysmorphic features. Hearing impairment and anal atresia are rarely described. Here we described a 9-month-old female patient with hypotonia in all four limbs, developmental delay, and intellectual disability. In addition, congenital anal atresia was diagnosed and treated after birth, and hearing impairment was found in right ear. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology)

Response to ‘The use of laryngeal mask airway for adenoidectomy’
“On behalf of my co-authors, we would like to thank Dr. Caylakli for his kind review of our paper. We agree with Dr. Caylakli that our paper limits its evaluation to one technique for adenoidectomy. It is quite possible that LMA is not appropriate for other techniques for adenoid removal. We would encourage surgeons to exercise caution when using LMA for any form of adenoidectomy. We hope future studies will examine other techniques for both tonsil and adenoid removal using LMA.” (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology)
