Aim of the study: Cholesterol granuloma is a histological entity which consists granulation tissue in large quantity cholesterol crystals provoke foreign body giant cell formation. granulomas are often found middle ear with rare presentation paranasal sinus. We would like to highlight diagnostic challenges and management maxillary sinus young woman presenting as unilateral nasal mass. Case repo...

Glomangiopericytomas are a rare type of sinonasal tumors with high relapse rates. Endoscopic sinus surgery is the classical technique to remove such tumors. Here we report case glomangiopericytoma orbital extension, infrequently described in literature. A 50 year-old woman was referred our hospital because right paranasal painless swelling, which appeared 9 months ago and slowly increasing size...

Introduction: The complex anatomical relationships of the sinonasal compartment with the surrounding vital structures make it vulnerable, yet simultaneously surgically accessible. Sinonasal tumors, especially those extending beyond, toward the anterior skull base and orbit have always posed a challenge, as far as their en bloc, and when applicable, oncologically safe removal is concerned. Tradi...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the surgical revision rate in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in the UK CRS Epidemiology Study (CRES). Previous evidence from National Sinonasal Audit showed that 1459 patients with CRS demonstrated a surgical revision rate 19.1% at 5 years, with highest rates seen in those with polyps (20.6%). SETTING Thirty secondary care centre...

Background The return of olfaction and of sinonasal function are important end points after pituitary surgery. Opinions differ on the impact of surgery because techniques vary greatly. A modified preservation of the so-called olfactory strip is described that utilizes a small nasoseptal flap and wide exposure. Methods A cohort of patients undergoing pituitary surgery and endoscopic sinonasal tu...

UNLABELLED Technical and technological innovations have spearheaded the expansion of the indications for the use of endoscopic endonasal approaches to extirpate malignancies of the sinonasal tract and adjacent skull base. OBJECTIVE Critical review of the available literature regarding the use of endoscopic endonasal approaches including indications, limitations, surgical techniques, oncologic...

Sinonasal hemangiomas, although rare, must be considered in the evaluation of intranasal masses with profuse epistaxis. Although the availability of literature discussing cavernous hemangiomas in this location is limited, there have been no case reports of exclusively soft tissue sinonasal cavernous hemangiomas extending to the anterior skull base (ASB) that were resected purely endoscopically....

Isolated sphenoid sinus lesions are an uncommon entity and present with non-specific symptoms. In this case report, the patient presented with a history of headaches for a duration of one month without sinonasal symptoms. A computed tomography scan showed a soft tissue mass occupying the sphenoid sinus. An endoscopic biopsy revealed fungal infection. Endoscopic wide sphenoidotomy with excision ...

Background: Over the past decade, the indications of endoscopic surgery had been applied to the selected cases of malignant tumors. The acceptable morbidity and outcomes suggested that this technique could be available for the management of sinonasal malignant tumors. Objectives: To present our initial experience with the novel technique, modified transitional endoscopic maxillary, improve meth...

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...
