Prospective Study of Sinonasal Outcome Following Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery.

Background: Endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES) requires wide sinonasal dissection to achieve adequate visualisation of anatomical landmarks. This can also result in nasal sequelae like crusting, nasal discharge, and anosmia.

Aim: To use the sinonasal outcome test (SNOT) 22 questionnaire to study the postoperative sinonasal morbidity and its recovery in patients who have undergone EES.

Revisiting Dandy-Walker Malformation with Associated Neurofibromatosis.

This report describes a very rare Dandy-Walker malformation (DWM) associated with neurofibromatosis (NF) and bony defect over torcula emphasizing the role of meticulous follow-up for asymptomatic DWM. The clinical aspects of an adolescent patient with undiagnosed DWM who was asymptomatic until the age of 14 years are being discussed. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were revealed DWM.

Endoscopic Endonasal Approach for Giant Pituitary Adenoma Occupying the Entire Third Ventricle: Surgical Results and a Review of the Literature.

Background: Pituitary macroadenomas occasionally disrupt the sellae diaphragma and extend directly to the third ventricle causing hydrocephalus. We present the results of a single-stage extended endoscopic approach for managing giant pituitary adenomas (GPAs) occupying the entire third ventricle.

Methods: A retrospective study of all GPAs occupying the entire third ventricle operated on via the endoscopic endonasal approach between January 2016 and December 2020 was performed.

Split Cord Malformation Type 2 with Double Dorsal Lipoma: A Sequela or a Chance.

An 11-month-old baby girl, with normal perinatal history, presented with a congenital lumbosacral swelling and a sacral dimple. Imaging revealed a split cord malformation (SCM) type 2 at L1-L3 with a lipomeningocoele extending intradurally and tethering both the hemicords, the conus was noted to be at L4. She underwent excision of the lipoma and detethering of the hemicords.
