OBJECTIVES Odontogenic chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is an epidemiologically important disease process due, in part, to the increasingly commonplace use of dental restorative procedures such as zygomatic implantation. Traditional management of this clinical entity typically entails extraction of the infected hardware via an open or endoscopic approach. We describe a novel management strategy of ...

Introduction Functional endoscopic sinus surgery has a long-term high rate of success for symptomatic improvement in patients with medically refractory chronic rhinosinusitis. As the popularity of the technique continues to grow, however, so does the population of patients with postsurgical persistent sinus disease, especially in those with a large window for ventilation and drainage. In additi...

Angiosarcoma of the nasal cavity is extremely rare. We present a case of angiosarcoma of the nasal cavity in an eight-year-old boy. He was treated with medial maxillectomy via lateral rhinotomy. The histological diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistological stain with Factor VIII-like antigen. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was useful in determining the extent of the tumour.

We describe two cases of nasal inverted papilloma who had different management modalities. Although both were essentially of the same pathology, one underwent endoscopic excision while the other was treated with the more popular lateral rhinotomy and medial maxillectomy. We wish to highlight the different modalities of treatment available for inverted papilloma and a review of published results.

Background and Objectives: To review our experience with lacrimal sac tumors in an effort to identify features, to evaluate the results of various methods of management, and to compare our data with previous studies. Methods: We reviewed the medical records of all patients with lacrimal sac tumors who were managed in our institution between January 1990 and December 2015. The pre-operative clin...
