Endoscopic cauterization of congenital pyriform fossa sinus tracts: an 18-year experience.
IMPORTANCE Congenital pyriform fossa sinus tracts predispose to neck masses and neck abscesses in pediatric and occasionally adult patients. Traditional management involves open excision with substantial potential morbidity. Endoscopic management allows an alternative, less morbid treatment approach. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of endoscopic cauterization as definitive t...

متن کاملCombined simultaneous transcranial and endoscopic endonasal resection of sphenoorbital meningioma extending into the sphenoid sinus, pterygopalatine fossa, and infratemporal fossa
BACKGROUND Sphenoorbital meningiomas are surgically challenging because of their nature to extend to adjacent structures. Here, we describe a case of recurrent sphenoorbital meningioma extending into the sphenoid sinus, pterygopalatine fossa, and infratemporal fossa, which was resected using combined simultaneous transcranial and endoscopic endonasal approaches. CASE DESCRIPTION A 62-year-old...
متن کاملAcoustic characteristics of the piriform fossa in models and humans.
The piriform fossa forms the bottom part of the pharynx and acts as a pair of side branches of the vocal tract. Because of its obscure form and function, the piriform fossa has usually been neglected in the current speech production models. This study examines the geometric and acoustic characteristics of the piriform fossa by means of MRI-based mechanical modeling, in-vivo experiments and nume...
