Frontal Recess

We report the case of a professional scuba diver who was unable to dive because he began experiencing severe frontal pain on descent. Following endoscopic surgery to open the frontal recess, the man was able to resume diving unrestricted by pain. We discuss the causes and treatment of this complaint, and we suggest that this might be considered a new indication for surgery in a limited number of cases.

Histopathological Type

Congenital cholesteatoma is a whitish mass in the middle ear medial to an intact tympanic membrane. It is often without symptoms and therefore incidentally diagnosed. Pediatric congenital cholesteatoma generally starts as a small pearl-like mass in the middle ear cavity that eventually expands to involve the ossicles, epitympanum, and mastoid. The location, size, histopathological type, and extent of the mass must be evaluated to select the appropriate surgical method. Although microscopic ear surgery has traditionally been performed to remove congenital cholesteatoma, a recently introduced alternative is endoscopic surgery, which allows a minimally invasive approach and has better visualization. Here, we report the first known case of a patient with congenital cholesteatoma in the anterior epitympanic recess and discuss the utility of an endoscopic approach in the removal of a congenital cholesteatoma in the hidden area within the middle ear.

Plantar Fascia Release

We present a 57-year-old female patient with iatrogenic lateral plantar nerve injury caused by endoscopic surgery for plantar fasciitis. Nerve grafting surgery was recommended, but the patient refused further surgical intervention because of personal reasons. After 1-year follow-up in outpatient clinics, she achieved only slight improvement in the lateral foot symptoms and still required oral analgesics for pain control. The purpose of this case report is to remind physicians of such a rare and serious complication that can occur after endoscopic surgery for plantar fasciitis. Good knowledge of anatomy and skilled surgical technique could decrease this type of complication.

Face Pain

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare condition that can mimic potentially more dangerous states such as malignant tumors. The tumor itself can also show a local malignancy as well as malignant transformation. The paranasal sinus IMT is quite a rare case in the literature. The manifestation of the disease can include a face swelling, nasal obstruction, epistaxis, vision acuity worsening, numbness of face, pain. Etiology of this type of lesion still remains uncertain but there are a few assumptions on the issue: viral and genetic among the others, as well as posttraumatic and postinflammatory. We report the case of an adult woman with IMT detected in right maxillary sinus after endoscopic sinus surgery.

Abstract Pneumosinus dilatans is a rare disease characterized by air-filled expansion of a paranasal sinus. Approximately 134 cases are reported in the literature, but not only one associated with infantile cerebral palsy (ICP) and nasal polyposis. We herein present this case report aimed to further characterize this uncommon condition: a 28-year-old female diagnosed with infantile cerebral palsy and nasal polyposis, in whom the cranio-facial CT scan revealed the association of a pneumosinus dilatans involving the frontal sinus. The patient is currently undergoing a protocol for endoscopic surgery of the nose and paranasal sinuses.

SUMMARY The paranasal sinus mucocele is an epithelized cystic lesion containing fluid and is characterized by non-neoplastic expansion of the paranasal sinus due to its capacity to erode the overlying bone. Etiology of these lesions is still under debate. In this report, we described a case of a patient with frontal recess mucocele, associated with contralateral frontal recess osteoma. A 55-year-old man was admitted to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of our hospital with the complaints of a headache affecting the fronto-ethmoidal region, left-sided nasal obstruction, and postnasal discharge. Computed tomography (CT) scan of the paranasal sinuses showed a dense bony lesion in the left and a cystic hypodense mass in the right-sided frontal recess. The patient was treated surgically, with a combined endoscopicexternal approach, bilaterally. Histopathological examination showed that the wall of the cyst was mucocele, and the bony formation was osteoma. The frontal recess osteoma is regarded as the primary condition. Thus, better ventilation and drainage of the frontal sinus were reestablished.
