Simultaneous cerebrospinal fluid otorrhea and rhinorrhea as a cause of recurrent meningitis in a patient with cochlear dysplasia.

Unlabelled: Inner ear dysplasia is a rare cause of cerebrospinal fluid otorhinorrhea and presents in a variety of ways, ranging from asymptomatic to recurrent bacterial meningitis. We describe a 6-year-old boy who presented with clear watery nasal discharge and recurrent bacterial meningitis. Magnetic resonance cisternogram showed cerebrospinal fluid leak through the cribriform plate of ethmoid.

Endoscopic hypophysectomy.

The minimally invasive endoscopic pituitary surgery is performed through the natural nasal pathway without any incisions unlike the conventional microscopic surgery performed via Trans-nasal Trans-sphenoidal upproach. We have tried to compare the clinical implications of these two approaches. In our study, conducted from 1995 to 2004, we started operating pituitary adenomas with conventional Trans nasal Trans-sphenoidal microscopic approach and later used the endoscopic assisted approach and then endoscopic.

A study of 272 cases of endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy.

272 Patients with obstruction in nasolacrimal duct were treated by endoscopic nacryocystorhinostomy (DCR). The results were compared with that of external DCR and Endoscopic DCR without stent. In our study Endoscopic DCR with stening had better results.
