The schwannomas are tumors arising from nervous tissue. It appears very rarely in the nose and paranasal sinuses. Intra and extracraneal extension of these tumors are even more uncommon. In this paper we report a case of a esfeno-ethmoidal schwannoma with anterior skull fossa extension. We describe the CT scan and magnetic resonance imaging and the histological features. Surgical resection was carried through a craniofacial approach. Some data about diagnosis, treatment and outcome of these tumors are revised.

Article Synopsis
- - Osteomas are the most frequent benign tumors found in the sinonasal area and are often discovered incidentally during unrelated imaging studies; larger versions over 30 mm are termed "giant" osteomas and can lead to complications if they invade nearby spaces.
- - This report details a case involving a 30-year-old woman with a 45 mm fronto-ethmoidal osteoma causing pressure on her eye and frontal lobe, requiring a specialized surgical team of ENT and neurosurgeons for treatment.
- - The goal of treating giant sinonasal osteomas is complete surgical removal through a combined approach, and while the risk of recurrence exists, outcomes can vary based on the surgical methods used.

Introduction: Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (THS) is a disorder related to inflammation of cavernous sinus and superior orbital fissure that usually presents with ophthalmoplegia and oculomotor nerve palsies. The etiology of the syndrome is unknown and the diagnosis is set by exclusion of other clinical conditions that manifest in a similar way. Intracranial aneurysms, such as intracavernous ones, should be included in the differential diagnosis as they can compress cranial nerves leading to similar clinical presentation.

A patient in his 20s presented with a change in the appearance of his left eye with evidence of relative afferent pupillary defect. Imaging revealed a giant frontoethmoidal osteoma, a benign sinonasal tumour, invading three-quarters of the orbit. Multidisciplinary discussion involving opthalmology, maxillofacial surgery, neurosurgery and otolaryngology resulted in the decision to attempt entirely endoscopic excision of this lesion, which was performed with successful outcomes.
