61st Annual American Neurotology Society (ANS) Fall Meeting "FAB Friday"

61st Annual American Neurotology Society (ANS) Fall Meeting "FAB Friday" is organized by American Neurotology Society (ANS) and will be held on Oct 16, 2026 at JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Los Angeles, California, United States of America.

Vestibular Study Group
The Vestibular Study Group serves as the forum for exploring complex cases and innovative treatment approaches related to vertigo and imbalance. There aim is to concentrate on common scenarios encountered by otologists and neurotologists, which often involve multiple disorders. This inclusive format promotes broader discussions without restricting them to a single disease process. For 2026, we invite contributions focused on "Pediatric Vestibular Disorders” and we are also open to intriguing adult topics. Presentations will be limited to five minutes and may cover unique cases, prevalent disease processes, evaluation methods, management strategies, and clinical or translational studies.

Facial Nerve Study Group
They invite submissions for the 2026 Facial Nerve Study Group, featuring concise 5-minute case presentations followed by expert discussion. There encourage abstracts that highlight diagnostic challenges, management dilemmas, surgical decision making, or unique clinical insights related to the facial nerve. Submissions may include case presentations or clinical capsules. If the presenting author is a trainee, the supervising faculty surgeon must attend the session and participate in the on stage discussion.

Skull Base Tumor Study Group
The scope of this study group encompasses the full breadth of lateral skull base tumors, including vestibular schwannomas, meningiomas, paragangliomas, and other more rare neoplasms involving the temporal bone and lateral skull base. We are seeking submissions for the 2026 program, including clinical studies, case presentations, and other succinct scientific reports. An emphasis on submissions related to new concepts and innovations in treatment are encouraged. Inclusion of video segments is encouraged if it augments the educational content.  Members are also welcome to submit difficult cases with management dilemmas for group discussion.

William House Study Group
The WHSG discussion will include all implantable auditory devices, including cochlear and bone anchored implants. Difficult/interesting/unusual cases that illustrate novel concepts or management dilemmas related to implantable devices are encouraged. To promote discussion, we encourage presentations from attendings, fellows, and senior level residents.
