Background and Aim: EETA (Endoscopic Endonasal Transsphenoidal Approach) is a preferred choice for pituitary tumors. offers minimal invasiveness, fewer complications, better outcomes than the sublabial or transseptal microscopic approach. has three approaches: mononostril endoscopic transsphenoidal approach, binostril one half nostril This study aims to compare different EETAs between transcran...

juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (jna) is a rare, benign and locally invasive tumor. massive bleeding because of vascularity of tumor and postoperative recurrence are potential problems of management. endonasal approach reduces the rate of postoperative recurrence, intraoperative bleeding, and complications of surgery, time of operation and duration of hospitalization. in this article, we r...

The etiology, clinical features, and treatment of an extremely rare case of a bilateral nasolabial cyst have been evaluated in this report. A 60-year-old female presented to our clinic with a pain-free swelling above the upper lip for a year and obstruction of the left nasal cavity for two months. On undergoing a physical ENT examination, she showed bulging of both nasal fossae and effacement o...

Osteomas are benign, slow growing bone tumors often seen in paranasal sinuses, mostly in the frontal sinus, whereas they are rare in the nasal cavity. Inferior turbinate osteoma is extremely rare and our case is the third reported in the literature to date. Symptoms vary depending on the location, size and spreading and nasal obstruction is the most common symptom. Treatment of osteomas is surg...

OBJECTIVES: Congenital choanal atresia is a complete obliteration of the posterior nasal aperture leading to life-threatening airway emergencies. Several surgical options including sublabial, transpalatal, transseptal or external approaches have been developed for the repair of choanal atresia. So far, no gold standard has been established, but transnasal endoscopic approaches have been favored...

BACKGROUND Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas (JNAs) are highly vascular tumors that originate in the nasopharynx of young males. The primary treatment is surgical excision. Traditional surgical approaches are associated with significant morbidity and facial deformity. We introduce and outline the clinical advantages of an endoscopic surgical approach to JNAs using the Nd:YAG laser with imag...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS A subtemporal preauricular approach to the infratemporal fossa and parapharyngeal space has been the traditional path to tumors of this region. The morbidity associated with this procedure has lead to the pursuit of less invasive techniques. Endoscopic access using a minimally invasive transmaxillary/transpterygoid approach potentially may obviate the drawbacks associated ...

Keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) is one of the benign developmental odontogenic cystic lesions arising from impacted teeth. In comparison to other odontogenic cysts, such as radicular cysts and dentigerous cysts, KCOT is known to be more aggressive and is associated with a relatively high recurrence rate. Traditionally, KCOT has been treated with total resection through sublabial incision....
