Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Background and History of the Topic:
Neuro-otorhinolaryngology represents a transformative approach, recognizing the complex interplay between peripheral sensory impairments (hearing, balance, smell, taste, sensation) and central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Many neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders present with early symptoms that affect these sensory domains, warranting joint expertise from neurologists and otolaryngologists.
Aim and Scope of the Special Issue:
This Special Issue aims to bridge neurology and otorhinolaryngology, advancing awareness and collaborative approaches for diagnosing and managing conditions with overlapping peripheral and CNS manifestations.
Cutting-Edge Research:
This issue encourages exploration into the central–peripheral interface, where understanding of neuro and otorhinolaryngologic symptoms offers new avenues for early diagnosis and innovative treatment.
What Kinds of Papers We Are Soliciting:
We invite observational studies, case–control studies, clinical trials, case reports, series, minireviews, reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses that push the boundaries of neuro-otorhinolaryngology research.
