Background
Subjective Visual Vertical (SVV) and Subjective Visual Horizontal (SVH) tests are useful tests to identify central vestibular tone imbalances.
Aim
To determine the normal values of the Subjective Visual Vertical/Subjective Visual Horizontal (SVV/SVH) test in the pediatric group. The normative data were intended to be used as reference values in the vestibular evaluation of patients presenting with balance disorders and complaints of dizziness.
Materials and methods
The study included 60 individuals between the ages of 8 and 18. All participants underwent static and dynamic SVV and SVH testing using the Virtualis Virtual Reality device, based on a test-retest protocol with six different initial tilt angles (10°, −10°, 20°, −20°, 30°, −30°). Deviation angles were analyzed.
Results
Across all tilt angles, the mean deviation angle ranged from 1.93° to 2.44° for the static SVV test and from 1.73° to 2.31° for the static SVH test. For the dynamic SVV test, the mean deviation angle ranged from 10.47° to 11.42°, while in the dynamic SVH test, it ranged from 7.3° to 8.85° across all tilt angles.
Conclusion
As a result of this study, normative values for static and dynamic SVV and SVH tests using the Virtualis Virtual Reality Device were established for use in vestibular assessment in the pediatric population. The study contributes to the current literature by providing updated data, addressing the limited number of studies on static and dynamic SVV and SVH tests in pediatric populations.

Pediatric dysphagia represents a complex and multifactorial clinical challenge with potentially profound implications for development, nutritional status, pulmonary health, and overall quality of life. In infants and children, the early identification of swallowing difficulties is critical due to their impact on growth trajectories, neurodevelopment, and the psychosocial well-being of both the child and caregivers. This comprehensive article examines the importance of a systematic, interdisciplinary diagnostic approach in evaluating pediatric dysphagia in a university hospital. Based on a ten-year retrospective cohort study involving 223 pediatric patients aged one month to sixteen years, we investigate how the integration of clinical history, physical examination, and state-of-the-art instrumental techniques - such as flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) - within a collaborative, multi-specialist framework can enhance diagnostic precision. Findings underscore the necessity of individualized, developmentally sensitive diagnostic pathways involving phoniatricions, ENT specialists, pediatricians, speech-language pathologists, radiologists and nutrition experts.

Purpose
This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of tracheal cartilaginous sleeve (TCS) among syndromic craniosynostosis patients, as well as describe their genetic profiles, associated co-morbidities, and operative outcomes.
Methods
We performed a retrospective analysis of syndromic craniosynostosis patients (Apert, Crouzon, and Pfeiffer) at a single tertiary academic center between January 1, 2002, and February 1, 2024.
Results
39 patients with syndromic craniosynostosis were identified, with 17 patients (17/39, 43.6%) undergoing airway evaluation. 1 patient (1/17, 5.9%) was diagnosed with TCS, but 5 patients (5/17, 29.4%) had other airway abnormalities, all reflecting abnormalities of the airway wall or some type of airway stenosis. 28 patients (28/39, 73.7%) presented with a diagnosis of OSA, and 7 patients (7/39, 17.9%) of patients presented with choanal anomaly (atresia or stenosis). 32 patients (32/39, 82.1%) had genetic sequencing information available, with the most common mutations affecting p.P253R within the FGFR2 gene in 7 patients. No patients in our cohort presented with a p.W290 mutation and 7 patients presented with a p.C342 mutation, of which 4 patients had the p.C342Y mutation.
Conclusion
The true prevalence of TCS may be likely lower than prior reports, which may aid with alleviating some familial anxiety and provide additional context and data for medical counseling and decision-making. Nonetheless, all patients should be strongly recommended to undergo airway evaluation given the risks associated with TCS, the high prevalence of structural airway anomalies, and the overall low risk of airway evaluation.

Objective
To identify the ability of optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of patients presenting to a primary care provider with signs and symptoms suggesting acute otitis media (AOM).
Design-Setting-Participants
An NIH-funded clinical trial was conducted and enrolled 75 children between 1 and under 7 years of age. Children presented with complaints of ear pain or suspected ear infection from their caregiver history to primary care clinics associated with an academic children's hospital. These patients upon presentation were eligible to enroll in the trial. Following a complete history and physical exam, including pneumatic otoscopy (PO), patients were provided with a diagnosis and treatment plan. Diagnoses included: AOM, middle ear effusion without AOM, or no evidence of otitis media with a clear middle ear space. Following this, OCT was performed, and the diagnosis and treatment plan was reassessed using this data.
Results
The diagnosis and/or treatment plan changed for 15.3 % of patients following the use of OCT compared with the initial use of PO. The greatest influence was seen in the patient group with MEE without AOM, with 36 % (5/14) of these patients having their diagnosis and/or treatment plan changed after OCT was employed.
Conclusions
OCT provides an additional adjunct for primary care providers to enhance visualization of the tympanic membrane and middle ear space. This data, in our clinical trial, resulted in enhanced clinical decision making, in particular for patients with MEE who were not diagnosed with AOM on PO.
Trial registration information
Coherent Optical Detection of Middle Ear Disease (OCTII). Clinicaltrials.gov ID number: NCT05353569.

Objective
This study aims to compare gene expression levels in pediatric versus adult cholesteatoma using bulk RNA sequencing.
Study design
Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected human tissue.
Setting
Tertiary medical center.
Methods
RNA sequencing was performed on 3 pediatric and 3 adult cholesteatoma tissue samples and differentially expressed genes were identified. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed to identify mechanistic pathways and differential cellular reprogramming.
Results
Bulk RNA sequencing of 3 pediatric and 3 adult cholesteatoma tissue samples identified 20,298 genes. Differential gene expression analysis revealed 14 genes: 6 downregulated in and 8 upregulated in pediatric cholesteatoma compared to adult tissue. The GSEA revealed 3 gene sets upregulated in pediatric samples compared to adults relevant in cholesteatoma literature: Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF-α), Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF-β, and the Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT).
Conclusion
Pediatric cholesteatoma has distinct gene expression and pathway enrichment compared to adult disease, involving inflammation and fibrosis. This study highlights the complex inflammatory process seen in pediatric cholesteatoma and suggests molecular markers that could serve as potential therapeutic targets for treatment.

Developmental dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental disorder primarily characterized by phonological and reading difficulties. This study aimed to investigate temporal auditory processing and dichotic listening performance in children with developmental dyslexia and to explore their potential contribution to reading-related difficulties.
Methods
Sixty children aged 8–13 years participated in the study, including 30 children diagnosed with developmental dyslexia and 30 age-matched typically developing peers. Central auditory processing was assessed using the Staggered Spondaic Word (SSW) test for dichotic listening and the Frequency Pattern Test (FPT), Duration Pattern Test (DPT), and Random Gap Detection Test (RGDT) for temporal auditory processing.
Results
Children with developmental dyslexia demonstrated significantly poorer performance than controls across all temporal and dichotic auditory processing measures (p < 0.05). In the SSW test, the greatest performance difference was observed in the left competing condition. Temporal processing deficits were evident in frequency discrimination, duration pattern recognition, and gap detection tasks.
Conclusion
Children with developmental dyslexia exhibit weaknesses in temporal and dichotic auditory processing tasks. Given the linguistic demands inherent in some dichotic measures, these findings likely reflect an interaction between auditory and language-related processing rather than isolated auditory pathway dysfunction. Incorporating central auditory processing assessment into multidisciplinary dyslexia evaluations may contribute to more targeted diagnostic and intervention approaches.
