Orbital Complications of Sino Nasal Tumors.

Orbital involvement in Sinonasal tumours most commonly present as proptosis, epiphora and/or visual symptoms. We aimed to enumerate the orbital manifestations of Sino nasal tumours, to describe strategies employed to manage orbit and vision, to evaluate outcomes, vision preservation and survival rates. This retrospective study spanning ten years identified 147 Sino nasal pathologies with clinic-radiological involvement of the orbit.

Diabetic muscle infarction: A case report.

Diabetes muscle infarction (DMI) is a rare complication of diabetes in which patients who present with DMI more commonly have some form of kidney disease in addition to diabetes mellitus.

Role of Human Papilloma Virus in the Aetiology of Sinonasal Cancers.

Sino nasal carcinogenesis is attributed to numerous factors, namely tobacco, alcohol and snuff as the most common. Human Papilloma virus (HPV) has been associated with aetiopathogenesis of malignancies in the upper aerodigestive tract (UADT). The prevalence of HPV in Sino-nasal malignancy (SNM) which is closely related to UADT in location is not known.
