A case of giant ethmoid osteoma treated by functional endoscopic sinus surgery is described. The tumour was closely adherent to the surrounding anatomical structures--lamina papyracea, cribriform plate, spheno-ethmoidal recess--and protruded into the nasopharynx. Complete removal of the tumour, under general anaesthesia, using intranasal drill and diode L.A.S.E.R, was achieved. The principal as...

We present and publish a Mathematica package, which can be used to automatically obtain any numerical MSSM input parameter from SUSY spectrum generators, which follow the SLHA standard, like SPheno, SOFTSUSY or Suspect. The package enables a very comfortable way of numerical evaluations within the MSSM using Mathematica. It implements easy to use predefined high scale and low scale scenarios li...

Sinus infections can be complicated by ocular infections and, in late phases, by brain parenchyma infection. The article debates the case of a 12-year-old patient suffering from paucisymptomatic maxillo-spheno-ethmoidal rhinosinusitis, which was later complicated by orbital cellulitis, ending with the development of a brain abscess. The treatment is complex, initially targeting the source of th...

Early diagnosis of sphenoidal sinus mucocoeles presenting with visual loss is important as appropriately timed surgical intervention may improve the visual deficit. Two cases of sphenoidal sinus mucocoeles presenting with visual symptoms are reported in whom the diagnosis was only established at a late stage. A third case thought on clinical and radiological grounds to have a sphenoidal sinus m...

Background: Considering the late ossification potential of spheno-occipital synchondrosis (SOS), it can be used as a tool to estimate age in adolescents. The time SOS fusion is known vary different populations. Objectives: This study aimed assess degree Iranian individuals, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan. Patients and Methods: CBCT images 240 patients (126 females 114 males), a...
