Transnasal endoscopic closure of anterior fossa cerebrospinal fluid fistula.
    Southern medical journal, 1993, Volume: 86, Issue:2

    The anterior skull base can be approached intranasally, and the development of endoscopes and accompanying endoscopic instruments in recent years makes possible extremely precise and defined work along the ethmoid and sphenoid sinus roof. Since these areas are the most frequent locations of anterior skull base CSF rhinorrhea, it follows that the localization and subsequent closure of these defects theoretically can be accomplished in this manner. Our report and others show that closure of CSF leaks can be accomplished successfully using this procedure, with minimal morbidity and at a fraction of the cost of frontal craniotomy. In our opinion, this should become the initial procedure of choice for closure of anterior fossa CSF leaks in amenable cases.

Pediatric sinogenic epidural and subdural empyema: The role of endoscopic sinus surgery.
    International journal of pediatric otorhinolaryngology, 2015, Volume: 79, Issue:10

    To analyze the indications and outcomes of open neurosurgical approaches (ONA) and endoscopic transnasal approaches (ETA) in the surgical management of pediatric sinogenic subdural and epidural empyema.. Retrospective single-center study design within a tertiary care referral center setting. Children less than 18 years of age consecutively operated on between January 2012 and February 2014 for drainage of a sinogenic subdural empyema (SE) or epidural (EE) empyema were included.. success of first surgical procedure, persistent symptoms and sequelae at the end of the follow-up period.. Nine SE (53%) and 8 EE (47%) were observed. Neurological symptoms, especially seizures, were more frequent in the SE group. Perioperative pus samples were positive in 67% of the SE group and in 75% of the EE group. The most frequently isolated bacteria belonged to the Streptococcus anginosus group. CT or MR imaging showed that most empyema probably originated from the frontal sinus. However, two cases resulted from an ethmoiditis and one case from a Pott's puffy tumor, without any direct contact with the paranasal sinus. In cases of SE, the most effective surgical technique was ONA with craniotomy. Associated endoscopic sinus drainage was useful for the purpose of bacteriological diagnosis. In cases of EE, effectiveness was noted in both ONA and ETA techniques. In two cases of EE, the ETA procedure encompassed direct drainage of the empyema through the posterior wall of the frontal sinus (Draf III approach). The number of patients successfully treated after a single surgical procedure was higher in the EE group (p=0.05). Regarding outcomes, no mortalities were observed. Persistent disorders at the end of the follow-up period, especially headaches, cognitive, concentration or schooling problems, tended to be more frequent in the SE group than in the EE group (67% vs 29%), and were more commonly observed in cases requiring several surgical procedures (75% vs 12.5%) (p=0.05).. Endoscopic sinus surgery plays a critical role in the surgical management of pediatric sinogenic SE and EE. In cases of small volume EE, the endoscopic approach associated with antibiotherapy may be sufficient to treat the infectious process.

Drainage of subperiosteal orbital abscesses complicating pediatric ethmoiditis: comparison between external and transnasal approaches.
    International journal of pediatric otorhinolaryngology, 2013, Volume: 77, Issue:5

    The aim of the present study was to compare the external (EA), transnasal endoscopic (TEA), and combined (CA) external and transnasal approaches to drain orbital subperiosteal abscesses complicating pediatric ethmoiditis.. This retrospective study included 38 children consecutively operated in our center for an orbital subperiosteal abscess complicating an acute ethmoiditis. The distribution of surgical approaches used for our patients was the following: 12 TEA (32%), 21 EA (55%) and 5 CA (13%). All data were retrieved from patients' clinical charts.. No surgical complication was observed in the present study regardless of the approach. The percentage of surgical failures requiring additional drainage was almost twice as high after TEA (failure rate: 25%) than after EA (failure rate 14.3%), but this difference was not significant. Parameters which significantly influenced the risk of failure of TEA were the length and width of the abscess. The duration of postoperative hospitalization was significantly lower in the TEA group (3.1 days) than in the EA one (5.4 days). There were no failures in the CA group.. Failures of surgical drainage of orbital subperiosteal abscess complicating pediatric ethmoiditis are not rare and did not differ between external and transnasal endoscopic approaches in our study. The transnasal route is associated with a shorter postoperative duration of postoperative hospitalization. CA seems to be a viable surgical option combining the advantages of both endoscopic and external approaches.

Woakes' syndrome and albinism.
    Auris, nasus, larynx, 2007, Volume: 34, Issue:2

    Nasal polyposis is a very common and multifactorial disease. Whereas eosinophil-dominated polyps often are sensitive to anti-inflammatory treatment like corticosteroids, the therapy of polyps without eosinophils is more difficult and disappointing. We report the clinical course of a 29-year-old albino patient suffering from a extreme manifestation of Woakes' syndrome, which is characterized by severe recurrent nasal polyps, often without eosinophils on histological examination and with broadening of the nose. In this case, the recurrent fibrotic polyps without eosinophils were resistant to conventional medical and surgical treatment and required further treatment with radiotherapy with awareness of all possible future sequelae. The pathoetiology and treatment of Woakes' syndrome as well as of albinism were discussed.

Transnasal endoscopic drainage of a medial subperiosteal orbital abscess.
    European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1998, Volume: 255, Issue:6

    The exact incidence of orbital complications due to sinusitis in children is unknown. However, a medial subperiosteal orbital abscess is the most common serious complication to occur. Surgical intervention is mandatory whenever antibiotic treatment fails. Most authors prefer open surgical procedures such as external ethmoidectomy, while others recommend transnasal endoscopic drainage as the first attempt at sinus decompression. Five out of 12 children with proven subperiosteal orbital abscess and sinusitis on computed tomographic scans failed antibiotic treatment and required surgical drainage. Transnasal endoscopic drainage of the abscess was performed on four patients, while one child underwent external ethmoidectomy. Our experience with endoscopic surgery in these four cases is discussed, along with a brief review of the advantage of this procedure over external surgery.

[Computer-assisted surgical navigation with a dynamic mobile framework for the nasal fossae, sinuses and base of the skull].
    Annales d'oto-laryngologie et de chirurgie cervico faciale : bulletin de la Societe d'oto-laryngologie des hopitaux de Paris, 1998, Volume: 115, Issue:5

    Surgery of the skull base and of the paranasal sinuses is often difficult because of the complex anatomy and the delicate structures; serious complications (loss of vision, cerebral lesion) have been reported. To improve the safety of such operations, computer-assisted navigation surgery is increasingly being put to use. We introduce the system which was developed in Berne. Our computer-assisted system is based on an intraoperative pursuit of the head and instruments which are equipped with infrared diodes and registered by an opto-electronic system-camera. The CT-acquisition of the head is accomplished framelessly without a head-holding device. This allows free movement of the head during surgery. Between March and November 1997, 35 navigation operations were performed for various pathologies at the anterior and lateral skull base. The majority of the cases were endonasal operations. No surgical complications occurred inspite of the complexity of the operations. The measured accuracy of the system between the CT and the actual instrument location in the patient was 0.5-2 mm (mean : < 1 mm) for the anterior skull base and 1-2.5 mm (mean < 1.5 mm) for the lateral skull base. The intraoperative navigation system allows identification of essential anatomical structures and permits safe and efficient surgery without additional loss of time. In addition, such a system allows minimal invasive approaches, and new operations may become possible.

CT-scan study of the incidence of sinus involvement and nasal anatomic variations in 196 children.
    Rhinology, 1990, Volume: 28, Issue:3

    CT-scan was used to examine rhinosinusitis in the developing sinuses; 196 children aged from 3 to 14 years were selected on the base of their chronic rhinorrhea, nasal congestion and cough. The patients were subdivided into six age groups (3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12 and 13-14 years). In the youngest age group, the authors noted maxillary involvement in 63%, ethmoidal involvement in 58%, and even sphenoidal sinus involvement in 29% of the children. Involvement decreased gradually with age, with 10% of ethmoidal and 0% of sphenoidal involvement in the 13-14 years age group. Maxillary sinusitis, however, persisted very frequently in the oldest age group (65%). Frontal involvement seems to become significant at the age of 7-8 years (7%) but it never exceeds 15% (11-12 age group). Septal deviations occurred in 16% of the youngest up to 72% in the oldest age group. The prevalence of bullous conchae increased with age too, although less prominently.
