Endoscopic repair of nasal septal perforation with anterior ethmoidal artery flap using tunnel technique.

Purpose: Septal perforations (SPs) present a distinct challenge. There are many described surgical approaches with variable success rates. The goal of this study is to describe a new technique in repairing SP.

Navigating Fibrous Dysplasia of the Middle Turbinate: A Decade-Long Journey and Comprehensive Management Strategies.

The authors report an unusual case of monostotic fibrous dysplasia involving the middle turbinate. Only four cases of fibrous dysplasia (FD) involving the middle turbinate had previously been documented globally, all of which entailed severe presentation and were treated surgically. We report the first case of asymptomatic monostotic FD of the middle turbinate in the Middle East, followed over a span of 10 years.

The Impact of Climatic, Socioeconomic, and Geographic Factors on the Prevalence of Allergic Fungal Rhinosinusitis: A Worldwide Ecological Study.

Background: The prevalence of allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) and its associated risk factors have been an issue of debate. Some epidemiological factors have been correlated to the disease prevalence.

Objectives: To observe the prevalence pattern of AFRS worldwide and to investigate the effect of specific epidemiological factors on the disease prevalence.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak Repair Simulation Model: Face, Content, and Construct Validation.

Background: Cerebrospinal fluid leak (CSFL) repair simulation models are scarce; however, these models are valuable tools for skull base reconstruction surgery training.

Objectives: This study aims to assess the face, content, and construct validity of a CSFL repair simulation model.

Method: Eight novices (residents- PGY3) and eight experts have performed skull base reconstruction in multiple sites in twelve human cadaveric heads in simulated surgical environment.

Location of the Sphenoid Sinus Ostium in Relation to Adjacent Anatomical Landmarks.

Purpose: The variability of sphenoid pneumatization and its relationship with the surrounding structures has been suggested. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of the surrounding bony structures on the position of the sphenoid ostium (SO).

Methods: A prospective radiological review of computed tomography images of paranasal sinuses of 150 patients (300 sides) was conducted.
