Foreword

All surgeons have cases that they think back on during the quiet of night. We strive to improve our craft and our diagnostic skills, and to learn from our mistakes but also from our successes. Every October, otolaryngologists in Los Angeles, and from across the country, gather to discuss particularly difficult diagnoses, surgical techniques, or complications which have kept us awake at night. Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, some of these cases have been curated for a wider audience. Please consider joining us next October live for the Cedars Sinai Eerie Case Conference and signing up to share a haunting case of your own.
