The Endonasal Endoscopic Management of Paranasal Sinuses Mucoceles

Mucoceles of the paranasal sinuses.

Comprehensive management of the paranasal sinuses in patients undergoing endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery.

OBJECTIVE The endonasal route often provides the most direct and safe approach to skull base pathology. In this article we review the literature with regard to management of the paranasal sinuses in the setting of skull base surgery. METHODS We describe our institutional experience and review the literature of concurrent management of the sinusitis in patients undergoing endoscopic skull base...

Mucoceles of the paranasal sinuses: MR imaging with CT correlation.

These patterns appear to represent inspissated or hydrated sinus contents,...
