The Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology aims to provide timely information for physicians and scientists focused on otorhinolaryngology and head and neck disorders, including contemporary, ethical, clinically relevant information in:
- General otolaryngology;
- Head and neck surgery;
- Respiratory sleep disorders;
- Allergy/rhinology;
- Otology/neurotology;
- Laryngology/broncho-esophagology;
- Pediatric otolaryngology;
- Cranio-facial surgery;
- Skull base surgery;
- Head and neck oncology;
- Phoniatrics;
- Upper airway related diseases;
- Facial plastics and reconstructive surgery.
The journal is the official peer-reviewed open access scientific publication of the Brazilian Association of Otorhinolaryngology and Cervicofacial Surgery (ABORL-CCF).

Localization of parathyroid in primary disease sometimes is a challenge to surgeons.
- •
There are some methods available like scintigraphy with MIB and parathyroid ultrasound, but occasionally parathyroid would not be located.
- •
The blood collection of internal jugular veins and dosage of PTH can be useful as a method for the localization of parathyroid in patients with primary disease.
- •
The selective PTH collection from the jugular vein identified adenoma laterally in 75.86% of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism.
