Transcranial resection of ethmoid sinus cancer involving the anterior skull base.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present 11 cases of ethmoid sinus careinoma treated primarily by transcranial surgical resection and followed 1(1/2) to 7 years. Morbidity and mortality following surgery has proved acceptable. Local disease control and survival prognosis of the patients have been determined primarily by the histopathologic classification of the cancer rather than by invasion of dura or orbit. Good to excellent control has been achieved in cases of adenocarcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, and squamous cell careinoma, but could not be demonstrated for undifferentiated carcinoma. Alternate means of treatment, including adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy, are recommended for such anaplastic malignancies.

Ossifying fibroma is a benign fibro-osseous tumour that rarely involves the ethmoid sinuses and orbit. It is classified as a benign fibroosseous lesion, a term that is synonymous with a variety of lesions reported in the literature. Recurrence rate with deleterious effects in cases of extramandibular ossifying fibroma is the impetus for open en bloc resection of the tumour. Continuously evolvin...

متن کاملTransorbital endoscopic identification of supernumerary ethmoid arteries
BACKGROUND Anterior and posterior ethmoid arteries supply the paranasal sinuses, septum, and lateral nasal wall. Precise identification of these arteries is important during anterior skull base procedures, endoscopic sinus surgery, and ligation of ethmoid arteries for epistaxis refractory to standard treatment. There is controversy in the literature regarding the prevalence of supernumerary eth...
متن کاملEndoscopic Removal of Frontoethmoid Osteoma: a Case Report
Osteoma is the most common benign tumor of the nose and paranasal sinuses. Most commonly seen in the frontal sinus, it is less common in the ethmoid and maxillary sinuses. This tumor may be discovered incidentally on radiographs, or may grow enough to produce symptoms. Rarely, complications occur at its location near the orbit and anterior skull base. We present a case of frontoethmoid osteoma ...
