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%.
Locally advanced oral cancers extending to infratemporal fossa (ITF) are a challenge to head and neck surgeons. These tumors are classified as T whenever the masticator space (MS), pterygoid muscles (PM), and pterygoid plates (PP) are involved according to AJCC classification. Until recently, these tumors were considered inoperable and treated only with palliative intent.

Though medical management has been useful in treating the hormonal variations, it has not been very significant in reducing the size of the swelling.
Objective: To study the efficacy of intra thyroid injection of triamcinolone in benign thyroid swelling disorders.
Background: The use of regional anaesthesia as an effective alternative to general anaesthesia in thyroid surgeries is now being accepted in many parts of the world. In this day of computers and technology, there is an increased awareness among the people of the available options of anaesthesia and the adverse effects of general anaesthesia. They thus have an inclination to avoid general anaesthesia wherever feasible.
