Introduction: Paranasal sinuses mucoceles are benign, epithelial lined, mucus filled lesions, causing destruction of the adjacent sinus walls, and with further gradual extension to structures, serious morbidities mortalities may occur. Objective: To emphasize on efficacy endonasal endoscopic marsupialization in treatment paranasal mucoceles. Method: Retrospective descriptive study mucocele case...

Myxoma most commonly occurs in the atria, but is rare nasal cavity. A 58-year-old male patient presented with a mass. We used endoscopic endonasal approach for treatment, and was finally diagnosed ala myxoma. report here case of myxoma along literature review.

Setting One of the consequences of the widespread use of endoscopic endonasal approaches (EEA) to skull base pathologies is the management of complex skull base defects. Nowadays, the gold standard is a multilayer closure that reproduces the physiological tissue barriers. Several techniques have been described in the literature; however, skull base reconstruction after EEA still represents a ma...

The endoscopic endonasal transphenoidal approach has proven to be a very versatile surgical approach for the resection of small midline skull base tumors. This is due to its minimally invasive nature, the potentially fewer neurological complications, and lower morbidity in comparison to traditional craniotomies. This surgical approach has been less commonly utilized for large midline tumors suc...

Treatment goals following skull base surgery have shifted over the last decade to improving functional outcomes and quality of life. Given the intimacy of skull base tumors to vital structures, the potential for morbidity, functional impairments, and a decline in quality of life after surgery is possible. The endoscopic endonasal approach may have potential functional outcome and quality of lif...

Objective. We report a case of poor healing after endonasal surgery for nasal septal perforation ten years after cocaine abuse was ended. Method. The clinical findings are presented. Results. A 35-year-old man presented with a small nasal septal perforation caused by cocaine abuse. He had stopped using it ten years previously so surgery was considered safe. The perforation was surgically closed...

Endonasal endoscopic laser-assisted dacryocystorhinostomy has many advantages over conventional external dacryocystorhinostomy. This technique avoids a cutaneous scar and causes less surgical trauma and bleeding than that seen in conventional lacrimal surgery. A total of 20 endoscopic laser-assisted dacryocystorhinostomy in 16 patients were performed between 1998 and 1999. The procedure was suc...

In the past 2 decades, an innovative and active field of surgical collaboration has been evolved and established combining the expertise of neurosurgery and rhinosurgery in the endonasal treatment of different lesions affecting the anterior skull base together with the adjacent intranasal and intradural areas. Important prerequisites for this development were improvements of technical devices, ...

JNA (Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma) is a benign but highly vascular and aggressive tumor that takes its origin in the basisphenoid region close to the sphenopalatine foramen. It occurs invariably in male teenagers. Surgery is the treatment of choice. In the past, external transfacial approaches were recommended. Nowadays endonasal endoscopic approach is performed by experienced teams eve...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to report our experience with the endoscopic management of sinonasal schwannomas, analyzing the advantages, limitations, and outcomes of the technique. METHODS A retrospective analysis was carried out on 11 patients treated endoscopically between 2000 and 2014 at a single institution. RESULTS Eight patients underwent an exclusive endoscopic endonasal...
