Vertebral osteomyelitis compromises approximately 1%–7% of all cases of osteomyelitis, whereas the cervical region is affected in 3%–10% of all cases. Not surprisingly, osteomyelitis at the craniocervical junction is a rare occurrence that poses certain ...

Morbidity in the postoperative follow-up of endoscopic anterior skull base surgery
Introduction: Endoscopic access to the sellar region by videoendoscopy shows a low rate of surgical complications, with findings that indicate risk factors for reducing morbidities during and after the postoperative period. Objective: To evaluate, over a

Contralateral Nasoseptal Flap for Middle Cranial Fossa Defects After Osteoradionecrosis
Contralateral nasoseptal flaps are a valuable salvage option for reconstruction of large skull base defects when the ipsilateral pedicle is unavailable. We describe a reproducible step‐by‐step technique combining a contralateral Hadad–Bassagasteguy flap with a reverse‐rotation septal mucosal flap for repair of middle cranial fossa defects. The approach

Olfactory-Related Quality of Life After Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Surgery. [PDF]
The QOD‐LQ, QOD‐VAS, and the “decreased sense of smell” item of the SNOT‐22, reflecting olfactory‐related quality of life (QOL) and subjective olfactory dysfunction, significantly deteriorated after EETSA in a substantial proportion of patients, even though psychophysical olfactory function was preserved.

Use of Endoscopic Vascularized Nasoseptal Flap in Children [PDF]
Objective1) Determine ability to achieve 100% coverage of sellar skull base defects with the vascularized nasal septal flap in pediatric patients. 2) Identify the rate of residual CSF leaks following this repair technique in these pediatric patients. 3) Review the demographics and perioperative course in these children.MethodStudy design: Retrospective
