Article Synopsis
- Orbital apex syndrome (OAS) is a rare and serious condition that can affect vision and potentially be life-threatening due to its links to sinus infections.
- A study reviewed 27 patients who had OAS caused by sinusitis and underwent endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) from 2011 to 2021, focusing on symptom resolution and outcomes.
- Results showed that while some patients experienced stabilization or improvement in vision post-surgery, there were significant reductions in ptosis (70% improvement) and ophthalmoplegia (85% improvement), with minimal complications and a low mortality rate of 3.7%.
A late middle-aged woman presented with a large, painful neck mass, with a history of rapid increase of size since 1 week and associated voice change, dyspnoea and odynophagia. Prior radiological investigation showed a multiloculated cystic mass in the left thyroid lobe. Fine needle aspiration revealed a predominant cluster of neutrophils.

- Neonatal orbital complications can be severe and need quick diagnosis and treatment, as seen in a case of a 25-day-old baby with rapid onset symptoms like eye bulging and swelling.
- Despite an initial attempt at treatment with antibiotics, the condition worsened, leading to an MRI that indicated right orbital cellulitis, possible abscess, and inflammation.
- Successful treatment involved a difficult transnasal endoscopic procedure to drain and relieve pressure, resulting in significant improvement in the patient's symptoms post-surgery.
Introduction: Pneumosinus dilatans (PSD) is a rare disorder of undetermined etiology characterized by expansion of the paranasal sinuses without bony erosion. Of the few cases of PSD described in indexed pediatric literature, there has been no reported case of this disorder presenting with optic canal stenosis in the setting of a vitamin deficiency.
Case Material: A 12-year-old girl presented with a 3-month history of progressive, painless, and asymmetric visual deterioration in her eyes.
Comparison of Elective Minimally Invasive with Conventional Surgical Tracheostomy in Adults.
Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
March 2017
Minimally invasive techniques were used for tracheostomy including small horizontal skin incision, limited soft tissue dissection and no suturing. A Retrospective analysis of case sheets of patients who underwent elective tracheostomy by the first and second authors at M S Ramaiah Hospitals in Bangalore between 1st May 2010 and 1st May 2015 was done to compare the result of elective conventional open surgical tracheostomy using midline vertical skin incision with minimally invasive tracheostomy using a short horizontal incision. No statistically significant difference in the peri and post operative complication rate was found.
