OBJECTIVE To evaluate the use of sinoscopy for detection and treatment of ventral conchal sinus (VCS) and/or rostral maxillary sinus (RMS) disease in horses. STUDY DESIGN Case series ANIMALS Horses (n=60) with suspected paranasal sinus disease. METHODS Horses were evaluated by sinoscopy through a conchofrontal sinus (CFS) portal with ventral conchal bulla (VCB) fenestration. Other endosco...

OBJECTIVE We evaluated the extent of asymmetry evident in paranasal sinus computed tomography (CT) scans of Turkish patients without sinusitis in the ethmoid roof. Our data contribute to the body of knowledge on the subject. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively studied multiplanar reformatted CT images of the paranasal sinus (1-mm sections) from 110 patients (50 male, 60 female). Ethmoid ...

BACKGROUND Sphenoid sinus is the most inaccessible paranasal sinus, enclosed within the sphenoid bone and intimately related to numerous vital neural and vascular structures. Anatomic variation of the sphenoid sinus is well documented and may complicate surgery in such a place. OBJECTIVE To outline the surgically risky anatomic variants of the sphenoid sinus as well as the variable relationsh...

purpose: to present a case of orbital abscess secondary to mandibular odontogenic infection. case report: a 30 year old man presented with ocular pain and exophthalmos of the left eye following a dental infection since a few days ago. a localized abscess was detected in the left orbital ct but the paranasal sinuses were clear. involvement of the left third mandibular molar was evident on facial...

A Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma rapidly forms a deep ulcer and invades the sinuses, orbital wall, palate. It is important to detect treat early as it can, although rarely, be accompanied by rapid ulcerative destruction sepsis due necrosis. An 80-year-old female visited our hospital complaining of right nasal congestion facial edema. fungal ball in maxillary sinus defect anterior wall maxilla were obse...

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...
