Musical Hallucinations In An Elderly Female With Hearing Loss, Jacqueline Cavendish, Lynne J. Goebel
Internal Medicine
Musical hallucinations (MH) are rare auditory phenomena in which patients perceive music without a known source. Risk factors for MH include hearing loss, older age, female gender, epilepsy, and certain medications. This case report details the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of an 82-year-old woman who developed MH following the onset of hearing loss. Despite treatment attempts with gabapentin, quetiapine, and donepezil, the symptoms persisted, demonstrating the difficulty in treating this condition.
Use Of Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis To Correct Micrognathia And Airway Obstruction In Newborn Female With Pierre Robin Sequence And Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome In Rural Appalachia, Seneca Williams, Adam Van Horn Md
Use Of Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis To Correct Micrognathia And Airway Obstruction In Newborn Female With Pierre Robin Sequence And Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome In Rural Appalachia, Seneca Williams, Adam Van Horn Md

We present a case of Pierre Robin sequence and Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) in a newborn female patient to highlight the surgical technique of mandibular distraction osteogenesis to correct airway obstruction due to micrognathia. The patient presented as a transport after delivery due to respiratory distress. She was noted to have a cleft palate and micrognathia. The absence of other dysmorphic features diagnosed her with non-syndromic Pierre Robin sequence. To solve her upper airway obstruction, mandibular distraction osteogenesis was performed. This procedure allowed the patient to be weaned from all respiratory support and nasogastric tube feeds by the end of …

Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL) is an otologic emergency that can provoke anxiety in the patient and can be clinically challenging for the practitioner. The natural history of the condition can be as varied as its possible etiologies. Adding to the clinical challenge is the current debate of treatment modalities available. In what follows, we provide a case detailing our treatment course, including the novel use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) as an emerging therapy for sensorineural hearing loss. Additionally, we provide a brief review of the current state of treatment options available in the armament for ISSHL. As …
