AbstractRhabdomyosarcoma is a diagnostic and therapeutic problem in the management of childhood tumours. A case of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma affecting the sphenoid sinus and involving the cavernous sinus is presented. It has become evident that modern combined modality therapy, including surgery when required, radiation and adjuvant multi-drug chemotherapy offers the best chance of survival.

Abstract OBJECTIVE The vidian canal, the conduit through the sphenoid bone for the vidian nerve and artery, has become an important landmark in surgical approaches to the cranial base. The objective of this study was to examine the anatomic features of the vidian canal, nerve, and artery, as well as the clinical implications of our findings. METHODS Ten adult cadaveric specimens and 10 dried skulls provided 40 vidian canals for examination with ×3 to ×20 magnification and the endoscope. RESULTS The paired vidian canals are located in the skull base along the line of fusion of the pterygoid process and body of the sphenoid bone. The canal opens anteriorly into the medial part of the pterygopalatine fossa and posteriorly at the upper part of the anterolateral edge of the foramen lacerum. The vidian nerve, when followed posteriorly, reaches the lateral surface of the anterior genu of the petrous carotid and the anteromedial part of the cavernous sinus where the nerve is continuous with the greater petrosal nerve. The bone surrounding the upper part of 12 of 20 vidian canals protruded into the floor of the sphenoid sinus and one canal had a bony dehiscence that exposed its contents under the sinus mucosa. Nine petrous carotid arteries (45%) gave rise to a vidian artery, all of which anastomosed with the vidian branch of the maxillary artery in the vidian canal or pterygopalatine fossa. The vidian canal can be exposed by opening the floor of the sphenoid sinus, the posterior wall of the maxillary, the posterior part of the lateral wall of the nasal cavity, and the medial part of the floor of the middle fossa. CONCLUSION The vidian canal and nerve are important landmarks in accessing the anterior genu of the petrous carotid, anteromedial part of the cavernous sinus, and petrous apex.

The Impact

AbstractThe present study aimed to evaluate the morphological characteristics of the sphenoid sinus (SS), and the impact of potential influencing factors on the morphometric features using CBCT imaging. CBCT scans of 148 patients, aged between 15 and 85 (32.88 ± 15.33) years were retrospectively evaluated. DICOM files from the CBCT scans were imported into semi-automatic software and the SS of each patient was assessed for the morphological characteristics including configuration, symmetry, extension, shape, septation, volume, and maximum diameter. Furthermore, potential influencing factors such as age, gender, side, and sinus condition were analysed. A significant association was observed between sinus extension and age. Septation was also found to be significantly associated with age, gender and sinus condition. Besides, sinus volume was significantly associated with gender and sinus condition. No significant influence of shape and side on the morphometric features was noticed. The average volume and diameter of the SS were 6576.92 ± 3748.12 mm3 and 30.48 ± 9.28 mm, respectively. In conclusion, the present findings indicate that age, gender and sinus condition have a significant impact on the morphometric characteristics of the SS. Mature sinuses exhibit a post-sellar extension pattern until middle age. In addition, males, and sinuses with healthy sinus condition have larger volumes compared to females and pathological sinuses.

Visual Failure

A macroadenoma is a common disease with one type of invasion. In this case, a visual failure in both eyes followed a severe multiple invasion of macroadenoma which has all three types of invasion (sphenoid sinus, suprasellar, and cavernous sinus invasions).
