E D I T O R I A L   Dear Friends, 2011 was a year that started terribly for the entire staff of the Revue de Laryngologie and the Georges Portmann Institute with the passing away of our beloved coworker Mrs Odile Bazerque. Her knowledge of the world of ENT, her hard work, her recollection of most of us that come to a course or congress remains in our memories. It is only now that our organization is starting to recover. The Revue de Laryngologie is pleased to welcome into its ranks a new auditor: Dr Christopher Henry, whose actions are already being felt in terms of efficacy in the handling and dealing with articles. We are grateful for his arrival which will give a greater percepti­bi­lity to the Revue de Laryngologie. Didier PORTMANN, MD
