Introduction: The close relationship between diseases of the paranasal sinuses system and the orbit is based on their anatomical relationship. About 60% to 80% of the osseous eye socket is made up by sinus walls. Objective: To describe evaluation of orbital complications in patient with paranasal sinuses diseases at Dr. M. Djamil Hospital Padang for 2005-2014. Method: Descriptive study we obtai...

The purpose of this work was to present an anatomic reference for computed tomography (CT) for the paranasal sinuses of adult buffalo fit the use of anatomists, radiologists, clinicians and veterinary students. CT images with the most closely corresponding cross sections of the head were selected and studied serially in a rostral to caudal progression from the level of the interdental space to ...

A technique for three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) of the paranasal sinuses was evaluated. The influence of milliamperage and reconstruction algorithms on image quality was studied in a phantom. Eleven patients with bony abnormalities of the paranasal sinuses underwent CT to assess the clinical impact of 3D CT protocol. Contiguous 1.5-mm sections obtained at 120 kVp/175 mA/1.9 sec ...

background and objectives: nasal polyposis is a diseases resulting from complex pathogenetic mechanisms. some studies showed that tgfβ1 had significant role in this pathogenesis. in this study, we investigated the roe of cytokines and mediators in polyp development. material and methods: in this case- control study, healthy nasal mucosal samples were obtained from 24 people undergoing septoplas...

metastatic   tumors in the nose and paranasal sinuses are infrequent. the origin of this metastatic tumors are often renal cell carcinoma. we present one case of metastatic renal cell carcinoma   to the nose and paranasal sinuses ,4 years after initial nephrectomy and diagnosis of stage t1n0m0 clear cell carcinoma. the patient complained of nasal obstruction and recurrent epistaxis   who was tr...

UNLABELLED Inflammatory pseudotumors may be defined as lesions that clinically and radiologically simulate neoplasms. These tumor are not a single clinical-pathological entity, but rather a generic term applied to any nonspecific, chronic, inflammatory expanding lesion. There are few reports of inflammatory pseudotumors in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. CASE REPORT We report three ca...

Juvenile Paget's disease (JPD) is a rare skeletal disorder that's characterized by bone demineralization and elevated levels of serum alkaline phosphatase. JPD involves the paranasal sinuses in extremely rare cases. We report here on a 25-month-old Asian male who was diagnosed of JPD associated with aplasia of the paranasal sinuses, but not the ethmoid sinuses. The patient was successfully trea...

OBJECTIVE The endonasal route often provides the most direct and safe approach to skull base pathology. In this article we review the literature with regard to management of the paranasal sinuses in the setting of skull base surgery. METHODS We describe our institutional experience and review the literature of concurrent management of the sinusitis in patients undergoing endoscopic skull base...

Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) has a predilection for the deep soft tissues of the extremities and mainly occurs in children. Although the tumor may originate in other sites, such as the nasal cavity or paranasal sinus, invasion of the orbit is unusual. We describe the clinicopathological features of 2 cases of alveolar RMS of the nasal cavity or paranasal sinus in adult patients with orbital ...
