Neurosurgical Approaches to and Through the Frontal Sinus Using Osteoplastic Frontal Sinusotomy KISEP J Korean Neurosurg Soc 36 : 107-113, 2004 Clinical Article Neurosurgical Approaches to and through the Frontal Sinus using Osteoplastic Frontal Sinusotomy Dong-Hun Kang, M.D.,1 Seong-Hyun Park, M.D.,1 Jae Chan Park, M.D.,1 Yeun-Mook Park, M.D.,1 Murali Guthikonda, M.D.,2 In-Suk Hamm, M.D.1 Department of Neurosurgery,1 Kyungpook National University Hospital, Daegu, Korea Department of Neurosurgery,2 Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan Objective : The frontal sinus is frequently a troublesome anatomical obstacle to gain access to the medial anterior cranial base. Surgical approaches to and through the frontal sinus using osteoplastic frontal sinusotomy provide significant advantages to the treatment of lesions of the medial anterior cranial base in addition to the frontal sinus itself. However, appropriate management is necessary to avoid postoperative complications such as cerebrospinal fluid leakage, infection, mucocele formation, and deformity of the forehead. Methods : The advantages and shortcomings of the approach along with the surgical technique are reported based on our clinical experience with pertinent literature review. The approach using the osteoplastic frontal sinusotomy was applied to two cases of osteoma in the frontal sinus, seven cases of craniofacial tumors, a case of chordoma in the sphenoid and clivus, and two cases of intradural lesions in the anterior cranial fossa. The frontal sinus was managed in such a way as to prevent the postoperative complications. Results : All patients underwent gross total resection of the tumors. With a mean follow-up of 26 months, there were no postoperative complications related to frontal sinus violation. Conclusion : The neurosurgical approaches via the frontal sinus using osteoplastic frontal sinusotomy are versatile for various lesions of the anterior cranial base in patients with large frontal sinuses. In situations that the frontal sinus have to be violated to approach medial anterior cranial base, the osteoplastic frontal sinusotomy provides such advantages as optimal frontal sinus control to prevent postoperative complications; increases viewing angle with superior trajectory from nasofrontal suture; lower incidence of pnemocephalus due to minimal dural exposure; and excellent cosmesis without frontal burr holes.

    GROSS ANATOMY ASSIGNMENT NAME: OLORUNFEMI PEACE TOLUWALASE MATRIC NO: 17/MHS01/257 DEPT: MBBS COURSE: GROSS ANATOMY OF HEAD AND NECK QUESTION 1 Write an essay on the carvernous sinus. The cavernous sinuses are one of several drainage pathways for the brain that sits in the middle. In addition to receiving venous drainage from the brain, it also receives tributaries from parts of the face. STRUCTURE ➢ The cavernous sinuses are 1 cm wide cavities that extend a distance of 2 cm from the most posterior aspect of the orbit to the petrous part of the temporal bone. ➢ They are bilaterally paired collections of venous plexuses that sit on either side of the sphenoid bone. ➢ Although they are not truly trabeculated cavities like the corpora cavernosa of the penis, the numerous plexuses, however, give the cavities their characteristic sponge-like appearance. ➢ The cavernous sinus is roofed by an inner layer of dura matter that continues with the diaphragma sellae that covers the superior part of the pituitary gland. The roof of the sinus also has several other attachments. ➢ Anteriorly, it attaches to the anterior and middle clinoid processes, posteriorly it attaches to the tentorium (at its attachment to the posterior clinoid process). Part of the periosteum of the greater wing of the sphenoid bone forms the floor of the sinus. ➢ The body of the sphenoid acts as the medial wall of the sinus while the lateral wall is formed from the visceral part of the dura mater. CONTENTS The cavernous sinus contains the internal carotid artery and several cranial nerves. Abducens nerve (CN VI) traverses the sinus lateral to the internal carotid artery.

It is divided by one or more vertical septa that are often asymmetric. Because of its location and the relationships with important neurovascular and glandular structures, sphenoid sinus represents a great diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the septation of the sphenoid sinus and relationship between the number and position of septa and internal carotid artery in the adult BH population. Participants and Methods: A retrospective study of the CT analysis of the paranasal sinuses in 200 patients (104 male, 96 female) were performed using Siemens Somatom Art with the following parameters: 130 mAs: 120 kV, Slice: 3 mm.

  • A Forensic Case Report
    Skeletonized body identified by analysis of frontal sinus morphology and characteristics of osteosynthesis material: a forensic case report Rhonan Ferreira-Silva1, Andréa Pinheiro de- Abreu Meirelles2, Isabela Machado3, Lívia Graziele Rodrigues4, Roberta Gomes-Resende5, Alicia Picapedra6, Carlos Sassi7 DOI: 10.22592/ode2018n31a10 Abstract Forensic dentistry is essential for the identification of highly decomposed and charred bodies, as well as skeletal remains. This study reports a case of human identification by analyzing the morphology of the frontal sinuses and osteosynthesis material. In the anthropological assess- ment of skeletal remains a surgical plate used for osteosynthesis was detected in the periorbital regions. Relatives of the potential victim provided ante-mortem (AM) radiographs which re- vealed the presence of an osteosynthesis plate. Post-mortem (PM) imaging exams were per- formed to reproduce the AM data. Similarities were observed between the AM and PM radio- graphs, especially regarding the morphology of the frontal sinuses and the position and outline of the surgical plate used for osteosynthesis. The comparison of AM and PM images made it possible to identify the victim and to aid the criminal investigation. It also highlighted the role of radiographs and anatomical characteristics in the process of human identification.

  • A New Radiological Classification for the Risk Assessment of Anterior Skull
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A new radiological classifcation for the risk assessment of anterior skull base injury in endoscopic sinus surgery Baharudin Abdullah 1*, Shiun Chuen Chew1, Mohd Ezane Aziz2, Norasnieda Md Shukri1, Salina Husain3, Sng Weirong Joshua4, De Yun Wang4 & Kornkiat Snidvongs5 Keros and Gera classifcations are widely used to assess the risk of skull base injury during endoscopic sinus surgery. Although, both classifcations are useful preoperatively to stratify risk of patients going for surgery, it is not practical to measure the respective lengths during surgery. In this study, we aimed to propose a new radiological classifcation (Thailand-Malaysia-Singapore (TMS)) to assess the anatomical risk of anterior skull base injury using the orbital foor (OF) as a reference. A total of 150 computed tomography images of paranasal sinuses (300 sides) were reviewed. The TMS classifcation was categorized into 3 types by measuring OF to cribriform plate and OF to ethmoid roof. Most patients were classifed as TMS type 1, Keros type 2 and Gera class II, followed by patients classifed as TMS type 3, Keros type 1 and Gera class 1. TMS has signifcant correlation with Keros classifcation (p < 0.05). There was no signifcant correlation between Keros and Gera classifcations (p = 0.33) and between TMS and Gera classifcations (p = 0.80). The TMS classifcation has potential to be used for risk assessment of skull base injury among patients undergoing ESS. It serves as an additional assessment besides the Keros and Gera classifcations. Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) has an overall complication rate of 0.5% with the specifc complications of cere- brospinal fuid leak, orbital injury, haemorrhage requiring surgery, blood transfusion and toxic shock syndrome at 0.09%, 0.09%, 0.10%, 0.18%, and 0.02%, respectively1.

Cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea is an undesired and potentially serious complication. Conservative measures may be unsuccesful, and there is no consensus on the most appropriate surgical treatment. Two patients with persistent transclinoidal CSF rhinorrhea after aneurysm surgery were successfully treated with a combined endoscopic transnasal/transeptal binostril approach using a fat graft and ipsilateral mucosal nasal septal flap. Anatomical considerations and details of the surgical technique employed are discussed, and a management plan is proposed. Keywords: aneurysm; cerebrospinal fluid leak; endoscopy.
