MARTINEZ-DIAZ, Lucía  y  MORALES-ANGULO, Carmelo. Ear, nose, and throat manifestations of VEXAS Syndrome. Systematic review. Rev. ORL [online]. 2023, vol.14, n.4, pp.289-310.  Epub 05-Mar-2024. ISSN 2444-7986.  https://dx.doi.org/10.14201/orl.31513.

Introduction and objectives:

VEXAS syndrome (VS) is a recently described clinical entity that mainly affects males, and is due to a somatic mutation in the UBA1 gene. It can present with multiple systemic manifestations, especially hematological and dermatological, being the affectation of the head and neck very frequent, especially, auricular chondritis (AC). The objective of this study was to describe the otorhinolaryngological manifestations of VS, knowledge of which by the otolaryngologist could contribute to early diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

Methods:

A review of the medical literature was carried out, using the PRISMA criteria adapted to the type of study, of the otorhinolaryngological manifestations of VS, from its description in the year 2020 to December 2022, using the Pubmed database.

Results:

81 articles that met the inclusion criteria were included in our work, which described 133 cases in detail. The results showed that VS occurs mainly in men over 50 years of age, presenting in more than half of the cases head and neck manifestations, among which AC, nasal chondritis and periorbital edema stand out.

Conclusions:

Since VS can affect any part of the body, mimicking the clinical pictures of other diseases, it has often been confused, in patients with otorhinolaryngological manifestations, especially with recurrent polychondritis. Knowledge by the otolaryngologist of the head and neck manifestations associated with it can contribute to early diagnosis and treatment, improving the prognosis of the disease.
