Introduction Foreign bodies are quite rarely encountered in the paranasal sinuses. In the literature, intracranial foreign bodies are usually observed in the orbital and frontal sinuses and nasal region (1, 2). Garces and Norris (3) reported that 70% of these foreign bodies usually appeared after maxillofacial traumas and 30% appeared during or after dental procedures of maxilla. Foreign bodies...

Objective Sinonasal cellular schwannoma represents < 4% of head and neck schwannomas. These benign tumors are typically confined to the nasal cavity or ethmoid sinus. We describe an atypical case of sinonasal cellular schwannoma with diffuse paranasal sinus involvement and both intraorbital and intracranial extension. Results A 62-year-old woman presented with a 6-month history of right orbital...

This study retrospectively analyses paranasal sinus complications following displacement of oral implants in the maxillary sinus treated according to clinical situation by functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), an intraoral approach, or a combination of both procedures. Over 5 years, 27 patients (13 male; 14 female), aged 27-73 years (mean 53.9 years), underwent treatment for postoperative...

&#x0D; Background : sinus paranasal adalah rongga yang terdapat pada tulang-tulang wajah terdiri dari frontal, etmoid, maksila dan sphenoid. Pemeriksaan Ct scan dengan pemberian kontras media digunakan untuk mendeteksi berbagai kelainan secara rinci bentuk-bentuk jaringan lunak, dimana diketahui irisan axial merupakan standar pemeriksaan paling baik dalam bidang inferior orbito meatal line (IOM...

Cavernous sinus thrombosis is a life-threatening condition that arises as complication of facial infection, sinusitis, orbital cellulitis, pharyngitis, or otitis fungal bacterial origin after traumatic injury surgery. Rhinocerebral mucormycosis an aggressive infection that, depending on its level extension, affects nasal passages, paranasal sinuses and the region.

Introduction Paranasal sinus surgeries are among the most common otorhinolaryngological surgical procedures. The majority of these interventions based on chronic inflammation. Therefore, economic value routine histology is more and object discussion, especially in cases without clinical suspicion malignancy. aim this work was to determine importance histologies surgery.

Introduction: Nasal polyps are pedunculated, edematous, prolapsed mucosa of the paranasal sinuses. These polyps commonly arise around the ostia of the paranasal sinuses in the middle meatus. Discussion: The commonest sites of polyp formation are the ethmoid sinuses and maxillary sinus. Rarely polyps may also arise from the other paranasal sinuses. Sites in the nasal mucosa other than the parana...

PURPOSE Endoscopic sinus surgery for patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) unresponsive to medical therapy has traditionally been performed under general anesthesia and in the operating room. Balloons for catheter dilation of paranasal sinuses were introduced in 2005, allowing sinus surgery to be safely performed either in the operating room or the office care setting, under local anesthes...

CONTEXT Paranasal sinus cancer is considered rare, with an incidence of less than 1 per 100,000 per year, with the frontal sinus being the primary site in only 0.3%. We report a case of adenocarcinoma arising in the frontal sinus. DESIGN Case report. CASE REPORT A 59-year-old woman, secretary, came in February 1998 with a 4-month history of low intensity frontal headache. She denied contact...
