Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Care for children with otolaryngological disorders requires close collaboration between the otolaryngologist and the pediatrician. This Special Issue will provide up-to-date information on the most common diseases in pediatric ENT.

This issue is dedicated to practicing pediatricians, general practitioners, otolaryngologists, medical students, and residents. It is important to understand otolaryngological diagnoses and treatment options, as well as common pediatric diseases that may impact medical care.

Our goal is to present treatment algorithms and detailed analyses of the latest advances to enable the implementation of state-of-the-art methods in everyday practice. We promote the presentation of the latest research, comprehensive evaluations, and detailed case studies that expand our knowledge of pediatric ENT and offer practical suggestions for clinicians.

Topics will include general otolaryngology, craniofacial surgery, hearing loss and pediatric otology, infection and inflammation, head and neck surgery, and evaluation and treatment of the pediatric airway.

Sharing the latest news in pediatric otolaryngology should inspire and contribute to improving the standards of care for young patients worldwide.

Background/Objectives: Obesity is a chronic disease characterized by pathological accumulation of adipose tissue. The exponentially increasing number of children with severe obesity draws attention to the tragic consequences of the lack of, or inadequate treatment of, obesity in this age group. This article aims to present ways of preventing obesity and ways of treating its complications in order to reduce the risk of the life-threatening problems caused by it. Case Report: The first patient was a 9-year-old boy with Prader–Willi syndrome, severe obesity, obstructive sleep apnea, hypertension, status post myocarditis, and recurring episodes of desaturation up to 70–80%. Respiratory support using continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and two-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP) were included in the treatment and the resolution of desaturation was observed. The second patient was a 5-year-old girl with simple obesity, obstructive sleep apnea, and subclinical hypothyroidism, hospitalized for sudden cardiac arrest, most likely caused by excessive fat tissue compressing the airway. Despite the introduced treatment, tracheostomy, and tonsillectomy, the girl remained unconscious during hospitalization and in the rehabilitation clinic, where she spent 7 months in a coma. Currently, her health is slowly improving as her weight significantly decreases. In both cases, serious consequences were observed due to non-adherence to dietary recommendations, lack of regular medical check-ups, and failure to implement appropriate treatment. Conclusions: Obesity can lead to life-threatening consequences, including respiratory arrest and a need for respiratory support, if proper treatment is not administered and if medical recommendations are not followed.
