Introduction: Concha bullosa is the most common variation of the middle turbinate of the paranasal sinuses. When it causes nasal obstruction, osteomeatal unit dysfunction, or rarely chronic infection, surgery is required.   Case Report: We present a fungal infection of concha bullosa, which is a rare indication for surgery of the concha bullosa. A 59-year-old female patient presented with hemif...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical features of epistaxis in the posterior fornix of the inferior nasal meatus and compare the treatment outcomes of endoscopic surgery and conventional nasal packing for this intractable form of epistaxis. METHODS Between August 2011 and August 2014, the medical records of 53 adult patients with idiopathic epistaxis in the posterior fornix of the inferior na...

Here we describe the procedures of endoscopic pituitary and skull base surgery in our institute. We also review the literature to reveal recent advances in this field. Endonasal approach via the sphenoid ostium was carried out for pituitary lesions without the nasal speculum. Postoperative nasal packing was basically not needed in such cases. For meningiomas, craniopharyngiomas, and giant pitui...

Introduction: To evaluate the most sensitive symptom to predict early recurrence of nasal polyposis. Prospective longitudinal cohort study. Tertiary university referral center with accredited otorhinolaryngology residency programs.  Materials and Methods: In this prospective study, we evaluated 62 patients with diffuse nasal polyposis. All patients underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery...

Introduction: This study aims to report a rare case of a respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma (REAH) of the lateral nasal wall that had initially presented as a fungating mass, similar to that of a sinonasal malignancy, and its complete removal from the lateral nasal wall.   Case Report: We report the case of a 58-year-old woman who presented to us with a chief complaint of recurrent ri...

OBJECTIVE We evaluated postoperative changes in nasal cavity volume and their effects on nasal function and symptoms after endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach for antero-central skull base surgery. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review at a tertiary referral center. METHODS We studied 92 patients who underwent binostril, four-hand, endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach s...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the ocular complication of functional endoscopic sinus surgery in patients with chronic sinus disease. METHODS In a prospective descriptive, cross-sectional study without control group, 53 patients who underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery for refractory chronic sinus diseases were evaluated. Patients underwent a complete Otolaryngology and Ocular examination an...

Pleomorphic adenoma is one of the most common benign tumors of the major salivary glands. It can also occur in the minor salivary glands, which exist in the nasal cavity. Intranasal pleomorphic adenoma usually originates from glands of the nasal septum mucosa. We present the results of endoscopic endonasal surgery of this pathology. The aim of the study was to present the endoscopic technique f...

  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...
