Introduction: Mucoceles of the paranasal sinuses are relatively rare. A very busy otolaryngology department does not have more than a few cases each year. Bilateral, multiple, and multiloculated cases are extremely unusual. Case Presentation: We report a 74-year-old man with two separate mucoceles in left ethmoid and frontal sinuses with pansinusitis. After marsupialization of mucoceles and fun...

BACKGROUND The sinus lift (or sinus augmentation) is a common procedure to improve maxillary bone stock before dental implantation. Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a potential complication of this procedure and may be refractory to medical treatment. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery has previously been used to address CRS, however, results of previous studies indicated that implant removal i...

Meningiomas are well-recognized tumors of the central nervous system. Extracranial meningiomas, secondarily extended into the paranasal sinuses, are rare tumors, comprising approximately 2% of all meningiomas. Extracranial meningiomas of the paranasal sinuses may present a diagnostic and the rapeutic challenge. We present a retrospective review comprising three cases and discuss the clinical pr...

Several articles have been written about hyper infl ated sinus structures. Never before, however, a complete overview of all possible pressure induced variations of sinus anatomy have been published. The aim of this study was to make an inventory of the most common CT signs of hyper infl ated paranasal sinus structures. During a period of 2 years all CT-scans of the paranasal sinuses made in an...

INTRODUCTION The only anatomical variation of the superior turbinate defined in the literature is concha bullosa. Determination of anatomical variations of the intranasal structures is important to perform safe endoscopic sinus surgery and avoid complications. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of an unusual anatomical variation of the superior turbinate in a 55-year-old Turkish man with nasa...

Spontaneous enophthalmos unrelated to trauma or surgery is rare. The term 'silent sinus syndrome' has been used to describe this process where, in particular, there is an absence of any sino-nasal symptoms. The enophthalmos and hypoglobus that occurs in these subjects is caused by atelectasis of the maxillary antrum, which itself appears to be due to chronic maxillary hypoventilation. We report...
