Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is our utmost pleasure to invite you to submit manuscripts to one of the most pressing topics in otorhinolaryngology worldwide: “Otorhinolaryngology: Current Trends and Future Challenges”.

With the development of endoscopic technology and basic scientific research, we are constantly exploring these developments and treatments in the field of otolaryngology.

This Special Issue aims to include cutting-edge original research and systematic reviews on the diagnosis and treatment of otorhinolaryngologic diseases, including, but not limited to, basic research, clinical research, the development and application of translational medicine, concise or systemic reviews, meta-analyses, commentaries, and viewpoints on the following themes:

  • Etiology and treatment of hearing loss;
  • Advances in cochlear and vestibular implantation;
  • Vestibular assessment;
  • Tinnitus management;
  • Tumor immunotherapy, nasal immunity, and immune inner ear disease.

We look forward to receiving your submissions.

Motorist’s vestibular disorientation syndrome (MVDS) is a disorder in which patients experience dizziness while driving. MVDS is under-reported in the literature, and in clinical practice, it often goes unrecognized. We identified clinical characteristics of patients with MVDS using data from 24 patients who faced difficulties while driving and were diagnosed with MVDS. Their symptoms, duration of illness, precipitating factors, co-morbidities, history of other neuro-otological disorders, severity of symptoms, and associated anxiety and depression were reviewed. Ocular motor movements were recorded using video-nystagmography. Patients with vestibular disorders that can cause similar symptoms while driving were excluded. The mean age of the patients was 45.7 ± 8.7 years, and most were professional drivers (90.5%). The duration of the illness ranged from eight days to ten years. Most patients presented with disorientation (79.2%) exclusively while driving. The most common triggers for symptoms were higher speeds, i.e., >80 km/h (66.7%), multi-lane roads (58.3%), bends and turns (50%), and looking at other vehicles or signals while driving (41.7%). A history of migraines was reported in 62.5% of the patients, and motion sickness was reported in 50% of the patients. Anxiety was reported in 34.3% of patients, and 15.7% had depression. The video-nystagmography did not show any specific abnormalities. Patients responded to drugs used in prophylactic treatments for migraines such as Amitriptyline, Venlafaxine, Bisoprolol, and Magnesium, and to Pregabalin and Gabapentin. Based on these findings, a classification system and a diagnostic criterion for MVDS were proposed. Full article
