Objectives
To assess the experience of subjects with olfactory disorders in their daily life and medical management, and their expectations and proposals for improvement.
Material and methods
A cross-sectional observational study was conducted over the period January 2020 to December 2021, with 300 subjects with olfactory disorders: 222 female, 78 male; mean age 46 ± 15 years. In total, 126 were patients consulting in ENT, and 174 were members of the Anosmie.org patients’ association. Participants filled out a questionnaire; free texts were analyzed thematically and coded for various qualitative variables.
Results
Olfactory disorders considerably impacted health, safety and quality of life. Non-COVID-19 acute etiologies (non-COVID-19 viral infection, cranial trauma) showed particularly high risk of psychological, social, safety-related and nutritional consequences. Almost all patients (94%) were dissatisfied with their medical management: 28% had received little explanation, and 23% felt their dysosmia was completely neglected, with no exploration and no etiology suggested. Patients wished above all to have follow-up and accompaniment.
Conclusion
Despite significant impact on health and quality of life, olfactory disorders are neglected by the medical community. Patients should be given an ENT assessment with olfactometry, to establish diagnosis and prognosis. Global multidisciplinary management is necessary, including therapeutic education, and psychological, social and nutritional follow-up.

Objectives
Review of the scientific medical literature dedicated to clinical data, diagnosis and treatment for laryngeal tuberculosis published since the turn of the 21st century.
Material and methods
Search of the Medline, Cochrane and Embase databases for the period 2000–2022. Selection of cohorts and case reports documenting clinical data, diagnosis and treatment for laryngeal tuberculosis.
Results
In total, 119 articles were analyzed. Immunodepression, HIV infection, history of lung tuberculosis, general symptoms suggesting tuberculosis, smoking and associated laryngeal cancer were noted in 18%, 3%, 20% and 41% of cases, respectively. No pathognomonic symptoms or signs emerged. Voice impairment, of various types and severity, isolated and/or associated with other signs, was the most frequent laryngeal symptom, in 86% of cases. All laryngeal sites were involved, with numerous and various associations. Impaired laryngeal motion and tracheotomy were noted in 6% and 1% of cases, respectively. Time to diagnosis varied from less than 1 month to 36 months, for a median 3 months, in case reports. Laryngeal tuberculosis was diagnosed bacteriologically with certainty in 28% of cases while diagnosis was based on indirect criteria and/or involvement of another site in the other 72%, with lung involvement in 54%. Treatment duration ranged from 6 to 24 months (median, 6 months), using 3 to 5 (median: 4) antitubercular antibiotics, with 4 used in 80% of cohorts and 77% of case reports. Overall rates of cure, death, treatment resistance, adverse events, and laryngeal sequelae were 99%, 0.5%, 0.5%, 6% and 5%, respectively.
Conclusion
The clinical presentation and diagnostic difficulty in laryngeal tuberculosis did not change since the end of the 20th century. Quadritherapy is highly effective, with a low resistance rate and few adverse effects or laryngeal sequelae.

Introduction
Functional septo(rhino)plasty incurs a 17–25% rate of revision for persistent symptoms.
Objectives
The main study objective was to assess functional results before and after surgical revision. The secondary objective was to describe the shortcomings or excesses of the prior surgeries, with a-posteriori comparison of efficacy for the surgical techniques requiring revision.
Material and methods
A single-center retrospective study included functional salvage septo(rhino)plasties. Data comprised epidemiology, intraoperative anatomic abnormalities indicative of prior surgery, operative correction maneuvers, and pre- and post-intervention NOSE and RhinoQoL scores and satisfaction on VAS.
Results
Eighty-two patients were included. Anatomic abnormalities comprised deviated posterior septum (81.7%) and chondroethmoidal junction (58.5%), valve stenosis (54.9%), and obstructive boney spur or crest (46.3%). Prior surgeries comprised 33 submucosal resections, 29 septorhinoplasties, 14 Cottle septoplasties and 5 Killian procedures. Complete septoplasty was performed in 80% of cases, with associated maneuvers in 15%. All scores showed improvement taking the whole population together (P < 10−5), but on subgroup analysis improvement concerned only revision of septorhinoplasty (P < 10−4) and of submucosal resection (P < 10−3), while 17% of patients showed no change in scores.
Conclusion
Functional nasoseptal salvage surgery enables most patients to recover respiratory comfort, with the exception of a few cases despite a perfectly straight nasal septum.

Objective
To describe, according to the CARE guidelines, an easily reproducible technique using two local muscle flaps to reduce the unsightly retromandibular hollow left by total parotidectomy for cancer.
Case description
A 40-year-old Caucasian male with T3N1M0 temporal skin melanoma was managed by skin resection, conservative total parotidectomy and ipsilateral level II–IV selective lymph-node dissection. Two rotational muscle flaps were taken from the ipsilateral posterior belly of the digastric and sternocleidomastoid muscles. Postoperative course was uneventful, with 3 days’ hospital stay, without facial or spinal palsy. At 3 days, 3 months and 9 months postoperatively, the appearance of the parotid region was similar to the non-operated contralateral region.
Conclusion
Easy to perform and without associated scars, the approach described here should be included in the armamentarium available to the head and neck surgeon to avoid an unsightly hollow after total parotidectomy for cancer, in an effort to improve quality of life.
