Article Synopsis
- Gradenigo's Syndrome is a rare complication of ear infections, often showing symptoms like double vision and facial pain, but its incidence has dropped due to antibiotic use.
- An elderly patient with T-cell lymphoma exhibited symptoms resembling Gradenigo's, but was ultimately diagnosed with invasive sinus aspergillosis after a challenging diagnostic process.
- The prognosis for cases like this is very poor without surgical intervention, as demonstrated by this patient's death despite antifungal treatment, highlighting the need for doctors to be vigilant, especially in older patients.
Objective: The main purpose of this work is to describe the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of intensive care unit (ICU) patients in a second-level hospital in Madrid, Spain, focusing in those who underwent surgical tracheostomy during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The surgical technique and associated complications are also detailed.
Study Design: Observational and historical cohort.
The aim of this revision paper is to provide an update of available resources to achieve the best endoscopic sinus surgery outcomes of adult rhinosinusitis. The cause and mechanisms of rhinosinusitis remain unknown, and curative treatment does not exist. Recent new insights into paranasal sinus pathophysiology, along with technical advances in imaging and endoscopy, have revolutionised surgical treatment of rhinosinusitis.
