Myospherulosis is a chronic inflammatory reaction to the mixture of red blood cells and petroleum based ointments. A literature review does not reveal any cases involving ophthalmic manifestations. We present the first reported case of a patient experiencing recurrent eyelid inflammation from myospherulosis after endoscopic sinus surgery. The pathophysiology and management of myospherulosis are discussed.

Latar belakang: Oksimetazolin adalah bahan aktif dekongestan topikal yang digunakan untuk rinitis alergi maupun inflamasi mukosa hidung lainnya. Cara pemakaian oksimetazolin yang baik dan benar akan memengaruhi keberhasilan pengobatan. Efek samping rinitis medikamentosa merupakan komplikasi yang sering terjadi dan sebaiknya dapat dicegah. Tujuan: Penulisan tinjauan pustaka ini untuk memberikan pemahaman terkini tentang berbagai indikasi oksimetazolin pada praktik klinik Telinga Hidung Tenggorok sehari-hari, cara pemakaian yang tepat, efek samping dan komplikasi yang terjadi berdasarkan studi kepustakaan yang dipublikasikan di PubMed, Google Scholar, dan Scopus dalam 10 tahun terakhir (2007–2016) oleh tim adhoc anggota Kelompok Studi (KODI) Rinologi Indonesia. Tinjauan pustaka: Oksimetazolin memiliki indikasi yang diperluas jika digunakan bersama dengan bahan aktif lain. Oksimetazolin semprot hidung 0,05% yang digunakan bersama dengan steroid intranasal dilaporkan memberikan manfaat pada penatalaksanaan rinitis alergi, rinitis kronis, dan polip hidung. Oksimetazolin digunakan juga dalam bedah sinus endoskopik untuk mendapatkan visualisasi lapang operasi yang baik karena efek hemostatik vasokonstriktor intranasal. Keuntungan yang dilaporkan juga diiringi dengan kemungkinan efek samping dan komplikasi yang sudah dikenal sampai yang membahayakan hingga kematian akibat koarktasio aorta, infark miokard elevasi non-ST, dan krisis hipertensi. Kesimpulan: Rekomendasi yang dibuat oleh KODI Rinologi berdasarkan analisis secara sistematik dengan telaah kritis, diharapkan dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan dan pemahaman tentang penggunaan oksimetazolin yang bermanfaat dan dapat mencegah efek samping yang berbahaya.Kata kunci: Oksimetazolin, dekongestan intranasal, indikasi, efek samping, komplikasiABSTRACT Background: Oxymetazoline is an active ingredient of topical decongestant in treating allergic rhinitis and other nasal mucosal inflammation. A good and proper usage of oxymetazoline will influence a beneficial outcome. Rhinitis medicamentosa is a common complication that should be avoided. Purpose: Content of the literature review is the indications of oxymetazoline usage in daily ENT clinical practice; the proper usage, side effects and complications are appraised from Pubmed, Scopus and Google Scholar publications within the last 10 years (2011 – 2015). The work was performed by adhoc team consisted of member of Rhinology Study Group Indonesia. Literature Review: Oxymetazoline broader indications obtained when applied together with other active ingredients. Oxymetazoline 0.05% nasal spray with topical intranasal steroid was reported as having efficacy in management of allergic rhinitis, chronic rhinitis and nasal polyps. Oxymetazoline is used as topical vasoconstrictor during endoscopic sinus surgery to get clear endoscopic visualization due to its hemostatic effect. Combination of oxymetazoline with topical intranasal steroid, was reported to be beneficial in the management of allergic rhinitis, chronic rhinitis and nasal polyps. Oxymetazoline is also used as topical vasoconstrictor during endoscopic sinus surgery to get clear endoscopic visualization due to its hemostatic effect. The good result of oxymetazoline was reported along with its side effects, which could be fatal, such as coarctation of the aorta, non-ST elevation myocardial infarction, and critical hypertension. Conclusion: Recommendation from Rhinology Study Group Indonesia based on systematic analysis with critical appraisal that has been made, may widen the knowledge and understanding of oxymetazoline usage and indications, and also avoiding the dangerous side effects and complications.Keywords: Oxymetazoline, topical intranasal decongestant, indication, side effect, complication

AbstractBackgroundEndoscopic septoplasty is an alternative approach for a deviated nasal septum. Since its introduction, numerous techniques have been developed, each with its own advantages and limitations. A literature review is presented, along with our experience with endoscopic spur resection.MethodsThe Medline and Google Scholar databases were searched for relevant literature, and the records of all patients undergoing endoscopic spur resection at the University Hospitals Leuven between 2001 and 2015 were reviewed.Results and conclusionEndoscopic septoplasty offers improved visualisation and the option of limited flap dissection, which are particularly helpful when dealing with isolated spurs, posterior deviations and revision septoplasty. It enhances teaching and improves surgical transition to endoscopic sinus surgery. Reported success and complication rates are comparable to those seen in traditional approaches. Endoscopic spur resection, as conducted at the University Hospitals Leuven, was shown to be a quick, safe and efficient technique when dealing with isolated septal spurs, especially when combined with endoscopic sinus surgery.

Abstract Paranasal sinus mucoceles are benign cystic masses filled with mucous content. Mucoceles are locally destructive, causing pressure on sinus walls with their resorption, allowing them to spread on adjacent structures causing local, orbital or intracranial complications. They are most commonly found in frontal sinuses. The aim of this report is to present case of oculo-orbital complications of frontal sinus mucocele, with focus on treatment using combined surgical approach. A 75-year old female patient with frontal sinus mucocele which led to destruction of orbital roof and occurrence of complications in form of orbital cellulitis and palpebral abscess was successfully treated with a combination of external frontoethmoidectomy and endoscopic sinus surgery. After initial incision of the upper eyelid abscess with drainage of purulent content, modified external frontoethmoidectomy was performed using preformed defect of orbital roof. Finally, using endoscopic sinus surgery, natural drainage of anterior group of paranasal sinuses was achieved. Various endoscopic and open approaches have been described in mucocele treatment. In this case we showed that the combined surgical approach in the treatment of frontal sinus mucoceles with destruction of sinus floor and appearance of oculo-orbital complications, provides an effective treatment and allows natural drainage of anterior group of sinuses.
