Improvements in functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and computed tomography (CT) have concurrently increased interest in the anatomy of the paranasal region. Common anatomical variations are not rare in patients with chronic paranasal sinusitis. The aim of this retrospective study was to analyze the incidence of anatomic variations of the lateral nasal wall in a series of 200 patients wi...

One hundred twenty-eight patients were examined prospectively to determine the significance of mucosal thickening seen in the paranasal sinuses during routine MR imaging of the brain. On the basis of responses to a questionnaire, each patient was categorized as symptomatic (n = 60) or asymptomatic (n = 68) for paranasal sinus disease. Patients were categorized further on the basis of the maxima...

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...

INTRODUCTION Solitary fibrous tumours (SFTs) of the nose and paranasal sinuses are extremely rare. These were originally described as neoplasms of the pleura originating from spindle cells. It is further sub-classified as a benign type of mesothelial tumour. Its occurrence in many extra pleural sites have been reported earlier, mainly in the liver, parapharyngeal space, sublingual glands, tongu...

&#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.
