Early Endoscopic Repair of Traumatic Skull Base Dural Injuries: Challenging the Dogma of Conservative Management

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Traditional management of traumatic skull base dural injury has often favored observation and conservative therapy, despite the risk of delayed intracranial complications. This paradigm originated when operative intervention required craniotomy and carried significant morbidity.

Development and Reliability Testing of the Sinonasal Assessment of Reepithelialization, a Novel Wound Healing Scale to Assess Postoperative Healing

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sinus and skull base surgery create areas of demucosalized bone and cartilage in the sinonasal cavity, yet no standardized system exists to describe the progressive healing of these wounds. The goal of this study was to develop the novel Sinonasal Assessment of Reepithelialization (SNARE) and perform parametric testing including ...

Pneumatization pattern of the temporal bone with volumetric assessment and its impact on the frequency of cerebrospinal fluid leak in patients undergoing vestibular schwannoma surgery via the retrosigmoid approach

Frontiers in Neurology
IntroductionVestibular schwannomas are benign tumors that account for 8% of all intracranial tumors. Due to their location in the cerebellopontine angle and internal auditory canal, access to these lesions requires disruption of the temporal bone.

Determinants of cerebrospinal fluid leakage in a large cohort of macroprolactinomas

Annales d'Endocrinologie
Macroprolactinomas are the most frequent subtype of pituitary adenomas. Their treatment has been improved since the onset of dopamin agonists (DA). Nevertheless, DA can cause a cerebospinal fluid (CSF) leakage by shrinking the tumor and lead to a bacterial meningitis.

Assessing the Mucosal Inflammatory Endotype of Obesity in Chronic Rhinosinusitis

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous inflammatory syndrome of the paranasal sinuses that is defined phenotypically as either with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) or without nasal polyps (CRSsNP). More recently, inflammatory markers have been used to cluster patients into putative endotypes that are presumed to have a common ...
