Use of balloon catheter dilation vs. traditional endoscopic sinus surgery in management of light and severe chronic rhinosinusitis of the frontal sinus: a multicenter prospective randomized study [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) of the frontal sinus is a complex pathological condition and many surgical techniques were described to treat this area endoscopically, like traditional endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) and balloon catheter dilation (

Optimum imaging for mucoceles [PDF]
A mucocele is an epithelial lined mucus-containing sac completely filling a paranasal sinus and capable of expansion. They are relatively unusual, occurring most frequently in the fronto-ethmoidal region. The imaging features on plain X-ray, computerized

Background: Sphenoid sinus mucocele is a benign expansile mucus-filled cystic lesion as a result of chronic obstruction of the sinus ostium. Because of its expansile, growth may affect nearby vital structures and result in the involvement of optic nerve and intracranial structures. Objective:

Neurosurgical treatment of sphenoidal mucocele by endonasal transseptal endoscopic approach: report of two cases [PDF]
Mucoceles are benign, slowly expansive, mucous-filled cystic lesions that arise in the paranasal sinuses. They most commonly occur in the frontal and ethmoid sinuses and are rarely in the sphenoid sinus. the incidence of sphenoid sinus mucoceles is about

Metastatic renal cell carcinoma presenting as a paranasal sinus mass: the importance of differential diagnosis [PDF]
Metastases in the paranasal sinuses are rare; renal cell carcinoma is the most common cancer that metastasizes to this region. We present the case of a patient with a 4-month history of a rapidly growing mass of the nasal pyramid following a nasal trauma,
