Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine which technique of uncinectomy, classical or swing door technique.  Materials and Methods: Four hundred eighty Cases of sinusitis were selected and operated for Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS). Out of these, in 240 uncinectomies classical uncinectomy was done whereas in another 240 uncinectomies swing door technique was used. In...

Clonal integration in the coral Lobophyllia corymbosa was studied from two perspectives: transfer of carbon among clonemates and allorecognition. This coral forms colonies in the early post-metamorphic stages. In later ontogeny, the tissues interconnecting polyps die, transforming the colony into a clone of solitary polyps. These polyps continue to live in close proximity but without tissue con...

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...

chromocolonoscopy using indigo carmine increases the detection of colorectal polyps remains controversial. Additional indigo carmine spraying during cap-assisted colonoscopy is expected to improve the detection rate of colon polyps, especially adenomatous polyps. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of cap-assisted chromocolonoscopy in the proximal colon for routine colonoscop...

Idiopathic expansion of a paranasal sinus containing air and without an associated mass has been termed pneumosinus dilatans [1] . This rare disorder has been known to occur in all the paranasal sinuses, but it most commonly affects the frontal sinus. Clinical symptoms include pain , visual loss, proptosis, galactorrhea, and hypopituitarism [2-4]. Proposed mechanisms of origin include developme...

A 72-year-old female patient presented with a single-sided stuffy nose, headache, purulent running nose and purulent cough for several years. A large posterior maxilloethmoidal cell was noted behind the maxillary sinuses bilaterally and found to drain into the superior nasal meatus. She underwent unilateral functional endoscopic sinus surgery with right ethmoidectomy and middle meatal antrostom...
