Multiparametric MRI in Diagnosis of Parotid Gland Tumor: An Observational Study in 3-T MRI Open
Background Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has an important role in the management and prognostication of parotid gland tumors. We aim to evaluate the role of multiparametric MRI in differentiating the major subgroup of parot…

Cochlear Implantation in a Case of Relapsing Polychondritis With Profound Hearing Loss and Labyrinthine Ossification Open
Relapsing polychondritis is an autoimmune disorder causing inflammation of cartilaginous structures, sensory epithelium, and cardiovascular system. Hearing loss is a rare and dreadful complication of this pathology. We report a case of rel…

144P Correlation of EZH2 expression and response to chemoradiotherapy in patients with locally advanced inoperable oral cavity and oropharyngeal squamous cell cancers Open
Head and neck cancer (HNC) is a major global health concern. Despite advances in treatment, the outcome is poor due to locoregional failure. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify molecular markers that can predict recurrence and t…

Comparing accuracy of cochlear measurements on magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography: A step towards radiation-free cochlear implantation Open
The study suggests that MRI scans can be the only radiological investigation needed with no radiation risk and reduces the cost of cochlear implant program in the paediatric population. There is no significant difference between the measur…

Outcome of cochlear implantation in a case of cochlear aplasia with cochlear nerve deficiency Open
Cochlear nerve deficiency in cochlear aplasia is a contraindication for cochlear implantation (CI) anticipating poor auditory response. Few authors have reported auditory outcomes even without nerves following CI. This study outlines the a…
