OBJECTIVE: The anterior transpetrosal approach using a microscope to provide wider access to the petrous apex region has been described for radical resection of lesions of the middle and posterior skull base. The microscopic anterior transpetrosal approach (mATPA) requires a wide craniotomy and meticulous epidural procedures to minimize temporal lobe retraction. Recently, the clinical application of transcranial endoscopic keyhole approaches for minimally invasive surgery has been steadily expanding...

INTRODUCTION: A long-term ruxolitinib-treated patient with primary myelofibrosis, who was co-infected with aspergillosis infection during a short period, developed acute invasive fungal sinusitis with consequent orbit apex syndrome. This may be the first reported case in the world. This is a 75-year-old Chinese man; the patient was admitted with 2-month history of headache accompanied by numbness and 8-day history of vision loss. The preliminary clinical diagnoses were suspected acute invasive fungal sinusitis or adenoid cystic carcinoma...

A 14-year-old girl suffered a rare injury when a pen pierced her left eye, leading to a foreign object lodged in her ethmoid sinus. Prompt diagnosis and endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) effectively removed the object, highlighting ESS as a valuable approach for managing uncommon sinus foreign bodies while minimizing complications.

Inverted papilloma is a tumor found involving the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. They are not cancerous but can be locally aggressive. They are most commonly seen involving the lateral wall of nose and maxillary sinus. When the tumor involves the frontal sinus and sphenoid sinus or the post ethmoid cells it presents a surgical challenge. Inverted papilloma almost always occur unilateraly and affect mainly the maxillary sinus. Inverted papilloma arising from the sphenoid and frontal sinuses are rare. Here we present two cases; one involving a 60 year man, with inverted papilloma originating from the frontal sinus and another case where it originated from the sphenoid sinus anterior wall and posterior ethmoidalcell (Onodi cell) and was resected endoscopically...

Introduction : The imaging of the paranasal sinuses has advanced from plain X-ray films to CT and MRI. This advancement in the radiological field helps to yield more accurate information and aids in arriving at a proper differential diagnosis, especially for rhinosinusitis. However, CT should be used cautiously among patients considering its effects due to radiation. Aim : This study aims to correlate the pre-operative radiological findings with the intraoperative functional endoscopic sinus surgery findings in a series of 100 cases...

Lacrimal bypass tubes create a fistula from the conjunctiva to the lacrimal sac or the nasal cavity. Fluoroscopic nonoperative placement of a plastic stent has shown successful results in the treatment of epiphora. Polyurethane lacrimal stents have been reported as a safe, easy, non-surgical treatment in the treatment of distal lacrimal obstruction. Recurrence due to stent occlusion of the granulation tissue is common. Stent displacement is very rare. We presented the first case of the stent protruded into the mouth in the literature...

Diagnosis of maxillary sinus pathologies is challenging. Herewith we describe the clinicopathological features in isolated maxillary sinus lesions in tertiary care hospital in Goa, India. The retrospective study included patients treated between 2017 and 2022, of all age groups and gender, who underwent either a biopsy or surgery, providing a histopathological diagnosis. Of the 117 pathologies, 88 (75.2%) were non-neoplastic. The overall frequency of pathologies were polyp in 40.2%, fungal lesions (18.8%), malignancy (13...

UNLABELLED: The inflammatory process involving the maxillary sinus is often exacerbated by a functional obstruction due to laterally displaced uncinate process which obstructs the infundibulum and the natural ostium. Physiologically the drainage pathway may be adequate but during periods of inflammation resulting in nasal oedema, the ostium/infundibulum interface is inadequate, preventing adequate ventilation and drainage of the maxillary sinus. Incomplete removal of the uncinate process without including the natural ostium may result in failure and recurrence...

The sinonasal angiomatous polyp is an uncommon kind of sinonasal polyp that presents as solitary painless growth with aggressive bone erosion, and bleeding similar to cancerous lesions. Computed tomography scanning and magnetic resonance imaging are valuable for its evaluation. Management involves endoscopic surgical excision with sinus drainage restoration. Histopathologically, large dilated blood vessels resembling capillaries can be found.

<b/>The intracranial segment of the internal carotid artery located inside the skeleton structure of skull base or inside the skull has clear anatomical landmarks and fixed anatomical structure. However, the parapharyngeal segment of the internal carotid artery located outside the cranial is surrounded by soft tissues, lacks clear and recognizable anatomical landmarks and sometimes has anatomical variation, which is closely related to transnasal endoscopic surgery. Intraoperative accidental injury can lead to serious complications or even death...

OBJECTIVE: Minimally invasive endoscopic endonasal multiport approaches create additional visualization angles to treat skull base pathologies. The sublabial contralateral transmaxillary (CTM) approach and superior eyelid lateral transorbital approach, frequently used nowadays, have been referred to as the "third port" when used alongside the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA). The endoscopic precaruncular contralateral medial transorbital (cMTO) corridor, on the other hand, is an underrecognized but unique port that has been used to repair CSF rhinorrhea originating from the lateral sphenoid sinus recess...

OBJECTIVE: The lateral retrocanthal transorbital endoscopic approach (LRCTEA) facilitates trajectory to the middle fossa, preserving the lateral canthal tendon and thus avoiding postoperative complications such as eyelid malposition. Here, the authors sought to define the surgical anatomy and technique of LRCTEA using a stepwise approach in cadaveric heads and offer an in-depth examination of existing quantitative data from cadaveric studies. METHODS: The authors performed LRCTEA to the middle cranial fossa under neuronavigation in 7 cadaveric head specimens that underwent high-resolution (1-mm) CT scans preceding the dissections...

OBJECTIVES: Prior research on olfactory dysfunction in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) has focused on patients with polyps and suggests that direct inflammation of the olfactory cleft mucosa plays a contributory role. The purpose of this study was to evaluate gene expression in superior turbinate mucosal specimens, comparing normosmic and dysosmic CRS patients without polyps (CRSsNP). METHODS: Tissue samples were obtained from the superior turbinates of patients with CRSsNP at the time of endoscopic sinus surgery...

In India, the incidence of mucormycosis reached high levels during 2021-2022, coinciding with the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to this, we established a multicentric ambispective cohort of patients hospitalised with mucormycosis across India. In this paper, we report their baseline profile, clinical characteristics and outcomes at discharge. Patients hospitalized for mucormycosis during March-July 2021 were included. Mucormycosis was diagnosed based on mycological confirmation on direct microscopy (KOH/Calcofluor white stain), culture, histopathology, or supportive evidence from endoscopy or imaging...

OBJECTIVES: Antithrombotic therapies, comprised of both anticoagulant and antiplatelet agents, are routinely paused prior to endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) to reduce the risk of perioperative hemorrhage. At present, no clear guidelines exist to guide otolaryngologists on when to resume these agents after ESS. Our goal was to systematically review the existing literature related to this topic. METHODS: Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we systematically queried the PubMed, Embase, Ovid, Web of Science, Cochrane, and CINAHL databases to identify publications reporting on antithrombotic and antiplatelet therapy in the context of ESS...

INTRODUCTION: EuroQol-5-dimensions-5-levels (EQ-5D-5L), visual analog scale (VAS), time trade-off (TTO), and standard gamble (SG) are used for the assessment of Health Utility Scores (HUS) of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). This study aimed to determine the overall HUS of CRS, the factors which influence the HUS, and the preferable method. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted. Patients with primary CRS were recruited. Clinical and socioeconomic data together with HUS were assessed...
