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 ...

This paper reports a case of septic cavernous sinus thrombosis following a chronic ear infection and paranasal sinusitis. The diagnosis and management of this condition are discussed.

INTRODUCTION Frontal sinus mucoceles are the commonest among all paranasal mucoceles. With introduction of functional endoscopic sinus surgery, surgeons prefer endoscopic management of sinus mucoceles, but lesions that appear in the lateral part of the frontal sinus can be difficult to access and often need external approaches. CASE PRESENTATION We described a lateral frontal sinus mucocele w...

BACKGROUND The use of endoscopic surgery for nasal and sinus pathologies has revolutionized our approaches towards the diseases of these areas. OBJECTIVE To report our experience with endoscopic surgery of benign tumors and tumor-like conditions of the nose and paranasal sinuses. METHODS The medical records of 105 patients with benign sinonasal tumor, who had undergone endoscopic surgery fo...

Osteoma is the most common benign tumor of the paranasal sinuses. Turbinate osteomas are very rare and only four middle turbinate, one superior turbinate and one inferior turbinate osteoma cases have been reported. We present a rare case of osteoma of the left middle turbinate in a patient presented with unilateral nasal obstruction and epiphora that was removed endoscopically, and conduct a li...
