Abstract
OBJECTIVE Airway surgery is performed for COVID-19 patients who require long-term tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. Tracheostomy sometimes causes postoperative complications represented by bleeding at a relatively high rate in COVID-19 patients. As an alternative surgical procedure to tracheostomy, cricotracheostomy may reduce these complications, but few studies have examined its safety. METHODS Data were retrospectively collected for sixteen COVID-19 patients (11 underwent tracheostomy, 5 underwent modified cricotracheostomy). In addition to patients' backgrounds and blood test data, the frequency of complications and additional care required for postoperative complications were collected. Statistical analysis was conducted by the univariate analysis of Fischer analysis and Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS Five cases experienced postoperative bleeding, four cases experienced peristomal infection, and one case experienced subcutaneous emphysema in the tracheostomy patients. These complications were not observed in the cricotracheostomy patients. The number of additional cares for postoperative complications was significantly lower in cricotracheostomy than in tracheostomy patients (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Modified cricotracheostomy could be a safe procedure in airway surgery for patients with COVID-19 from the point of fewer postoperative complications and additional care. It might be necessary to select the cricotracheostomy depending on patients' background to reduce postoperative complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total pharyngolaryngectomy (TPL) is standard treatment for hypopharyngeal cancer. However, extensive thyroidectomy and paratracheal nodal dissection (PTND) can cause hypoparathyroidism. We sought to determine the optimum extent of resection. METHODS We analyzed the clinicopathological information of 161 pyriform sinus cancer patients undergoing TPL from 25 Japanese institutions. Rates of recurrence and risk factors for hypoparathyroidism, as well as incidence of pathological contralateral level VI nodal metastasis and stomal recurrence, were investigated. RESULTS The extent of thyroidectomy and nodal dissection were not independent risk factors for recurrence. Incidences of contralateral level VI nodal involvement and stomal recurrence were 1.8% and 1.2%, respectively. Patients undergoing hemithyroidectomy/ipsilateral PTND did not develop stomal recurrence and had the lowest incidence of hypoparathyroidism. Prognosis in patients without tracheostomy prior to hemithyroidectomy/ipsilateral PTND was comparable to that with more extensive resections. CONCLUSIONS Hemithyroidectomy/ipsilateral PTND may be sufficient for pyriform sinus cancer cases without tracheostomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To comprehensively summarize the clinical data and CT/MRI characteristics of thyroid-like low-grade nasopharyngeal papillary adenocarcinoma (TL-LGNPPA). METHODS Twenty-seven lesions from 25 study articles identified through a systematic review and three lesions from our institution associated with TL-LGNPPA were evaluated. RESULTS The mean age of the patients at diagnosis was 35.7 years, and the male-to-female ratio was nearly half. The chief complaint was nasal obstruction, followed by epistaxis. All patients underwent excision. None of the patients had neck nodes or distant metastases. All patients survived with no locoregional/distant recurrence during 3-93 months of follow-up. All lesions were located at the posterior edge of the nasal septum, attached to the nasopharyngeal parietal wall, and showed no laterality. The mean lesion diameter was 1.7 cm. The margins of lesions were well-defined and lobulated, followed by well-defined smooth margins. None of lesions were associated with parapharyngeal space or skull base destruction. All lesions were iso- and low-density on non-contrast CT. Adjacent skull base sclerosis was detected in 63.6% of lesions. High signal intensity on T2-weighted imaging and mostly iso-signal intensity on T1-weighted imaging compared to muscle tissue. Most lesions were heterogeneous and exhibited moderate contrast enhancement. Relatively large lesions (≥1.4 cm) tended to be more lobulated than smooth margins compared to relatively small lesions (<1.4 cm) (p = 0.016). CONCLUSION We summarized the clinical and radiological features of TL-LGNPPA to facilitate accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the predictability of ophthalmic artery involvement in maxillary sinus cancer using preprocedural contrast enhanced CT and MRI. Methods We analyzed advanced (T3, T4a, and T4b) primary maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma treated with super-selective intra-arterial cisplatin infusion and concomitant radiotherapy (RADPLAT) from Oct 2016 to Mar 2020. Two diagnostic radiologists evaluated the tumor invasion site around the maxillary sinus using preprocedural imaging. These results were compared with the angiographic involvement of the ophthalmic artery using statistical analyses. We also evaluated our RADPLAT quality using complication rate, response to treatment, local progressive free survival (LPFS), and overall survival (OS). Results Twenty patients were included in this study. There were ten cases of ophthalmic artery tumor stain and there was a correlation between ophthalmic artery involvement and invasion for ethmoid sinus with statistically significant differences. Other imaging findings were not associated with ophthalmic artery involvement. Conclusions Ethmoid sinus invasion on preprocedural imaging could suggest ophthalmic artery involvement in maxillary sinus cancer. It may be useful in predicting prognosis and treatment selection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate pre-treatment MRI predictors of high-grade malignant parotid gland cancer by comparing MRI findings and texture parameters between high-grade and intermediate/low-grade parotid gland cancers. METHODS Patients underwent a pre-treatment MRI and had a parotid gland cancer resection with pathological evaluation. Evaluation objectives included attributive factors such as age and gender, several MRI findings of T1- and T2-weighted images, post-contrast fat suppression T1-weighted images, ADC value and 40 texture parameters calculated from T2-weighted axial images. Such objects were compared between high-grade and intermediate/low-grade lesions. RESULTS Of the parotid gland cancers surveyed, 39 were included for analysis. Of these, 18 were high-grade lesions, 2 were intermediate-grade lesions, and 19 were low-grade lesions. The high-grade group was significantly older than the low- and intermediate-grade groups (p = 0.01). There were more males in the high-grade group than in the low- and intermediate-grade groups (p = 0.01). There were also significantly more MRI findings of neck lymph node metastases in the high-grade group than in the low- and intermediate-grade groups (p < 0.001). Other MRI findings and texture parameters did not show significant differences between the two groups (p = 0.07-1.00). CONCLUSIONS Morphological assessment on MRI and texture parameters alone is not sufficient to estimate the grade of parotid cancer. MRI findings of neck lymph node metastases, as well as patient characteristics such as age (older patients) and gender (male) can be suggestive of high-grade parotid gland cancer in pre-treatment evaluation.

Abstract
The clinical data of 115 patients with peritonsillar abscess (98 men and 17 women) treated between May 2011 and March 2014 were analyzed. We examined 9 items; the age, sex, affected side, duration of hospitalization, method of drainage, smoking history, history of diabetes, antibacterial drugs used, and the isolated bacteria. The disease predominantly affected males in their 30s (27.8% of all the patients). The median duration of hospitalization was 7 days. In regard to the affected side, the right side was affected in 52%, the left side in 44%, and both sides in 4%. The method of drainage used was incision in 63%, and puncture in 37%. In regard to the personal and past medical history, 51% of patients had a history of smoking and 3.5% had a history of diabetes. ABPC/SBT was used as the single-agent antibacterial drug in 75% of cases. The most commonly isolated aerobic bacteria were α-hemolytic streptococci, and the most commonly isolated anaerobic bacteria were Prevotella. The duration of hospitalization showed no significant correlation with the smoking history, drainage method or the antibiotic treatment used (ABPC/SBT single-agent or multiple drug use). On the other hand, the duration of hospitalization was significantly longer in the more than ≥65 years' age group than in the <65 years' age group. Therefore, especially careful interventions for prevention and treatment of peritonsillar abscess are required in the elderly. In relation to antibiotic selection, it may be reasonable to expect sufficient effect with the use of ABPC/SBT as a single agent, as this antibiotic has a broad antibacterial spectrum covering aerobic, anaerobic and drug-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
Cervical major blood vessel injuries often produce acute ingravescence of the circulatory dynamics. Therefore, if immediate treatment is not given, fatal complications can occur, resulting in death. Common carotid artery (CCA) injuries in particular are often associated with fatal outcomes. Moreover, most CCA injuries with hemorrhage producing hematoma are the result penetrating trauma, and there are few reports of blunt injuries. We report herein on a case of blunt CCA injury producing acute hematoma due to minor trauma. A 35-year-old man who was gently punched on his jaw when he was training with his child visited emergency room in our hospital complaining of swelling and pain of his neck soon after that. When we examined his neck, the larynx was displaced to the left by right neck swelling. Flexible transnasal laryngoscopic examination revealed constriction of the suffocating airway by a hematoma, so an emergency tracheotomy was performed. Enhanced CT of the neck showed active bleeding, so emergency surgical removal of the hematoma and hemostasis was carried out. We found a laceration (approximately 2 cm) of the CCA, and arrested hemorrhage with sutures. No postoperative neurologic deficit occurred. His postoperative course was good, and discharged 22 days after the operation.
