Endoscopic Surgery for Nasal Glioma Mimicking Encephalocele in Infancy

Nasal encephalocele: endoscopic excision with anesthetic consideration.

OBJECTIVE Nasal encephalocele may presents as a nasal mass, its treatment is surgical and it should be done early in life. When removal is indicated, there are multiple surgical approaches; including lateral rhinotomy, a transnasal approach and a coronal flap approach.

Impact of endoscopic endonasal pituitary surgery on nasal airway patency

  Background: Nose is used as a corridor in endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach (EETSA) for pituitary adenoma. Thus, it may affect the nasal airway patency, function and sinonasal-related quality of life. The aim of this study is to objectively and subjectively evaluate these effects.   Methods: In this prospective study, 43 patients with pituitary adenoma who were c...

Endoscopic sinus surgery for nasal polyps
