Cerebral Arterial Vasospasm as a Complication in an Endoscopic Transnasal Approach for the Resection of a WHO-I Meningioma. A Case Report

AbstractIntroduction:Verrucous carcinoma is a variant of well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma characterised by an exophytic, warty growth which is slowly but locally invasive and which can cause extensive local destruction if left untreated.Case report:We report the first known case of veruccous carcinoma of the paranasal sinuses with rapid orbital invasion. A 58-year-old man presented with right-sided nasal obstruction, a huge right intranasal lesion, intractable dacryocystitis and cutaneous involvement of the nasolacrimal sac region. The tumour was partially removed using an endoscopic transnasal approach. Post-operatively, and while waiting for the histological result, the patient developed signs of rapid invasion of the orbit, with uniocular visual acuity deficit. He underwent combined radiochemotherapy, with a moderate response.Conclusion:Knowledge of the potentially aggressive nature of verrucous carcinoma may be helpful in early management of intraorbital invasion and salvaging of the eye.

AbstractObjective:This case report presents our experience of endoscopic transnasal management of medial intra- and extraconal lesions.Case report:An endoscopic transnasal approach to intra-orbital lesions was used for nine patients. Four patients had intraconal lesions and five had lesions in the extraconal space. Post-operatively, seven patients reported an improvement in visual acuity and two reported stable vision. There were no complications of cerebrospinal leakage or diplopia.Conclusion:This case series demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of an endoscopic transnasal approach to managing intraconal and extraconal lesions. This minimally invasive technique should be considered a valid alternative for accessing orbital tumours, particularly those located in the medial compartment.

Systemic Examination

ABSTRACT Bilateral choanal atresia is an uncommon congenital malfor mation and its association with duodenal atresia and lagophthalmos is very rare. It is a lifethreatening condition where immediate intervention is always needed. A systemic examination is required to find its association with other anomalies. Though different approaches for its treatment are described endoscopic transnasal approach is the most acceptable less traumatic approach till date. We are having a case report of a premature baby with choanal and duodenal atresia with lagophthalmos and was managed successfully with endoscopic transnasal approach.
