Background: Orbital roof fractures (ORF) frequently occur together with frontal bone fractures, and can cause diplopia as a sequela. However, ORF have never been treated using endoscopic endonasal reduction surgery.
Case: A 22-year-old woman was injured in a traffic accident and diagnosed with right ORF along with frontal bone fractures. She was referred to us for diplopia 2 weeks after the initial trauma. No facial deformation was seen. Endoscopic endonasal reduction surgery was performed under general anaesthesia. Ethmoidectomy was performed and, subsequently, the anterior superior portion of the medial orbital bone was removed. During the procedure, an ophthalmologist performed eye traction tests until definitive ocular motility improvement was observed.
Results And Conclusion: Postoperatively, diplopia disappeared and no enophthalmos was seen. From both a functional and an aesthetic point of view, the endoscopic endonasal reduction surgery resulted in a satisfactory outcome without having to use any extranasal approaches in this case.

In endoscopic endonasal surgery for anterior skull base lesions, maximizing the anterior sphenoidotomy in the superior part is crucial for direct visualization and creating a wide working corridor. Here, we describe a technique we devised that maximizes upper anterior sphenoidotomy while preserving the olfactory mucosa. Laryngoscope, 2024.

Unlabelled: Intracranial complications in inflammatory diseases of the ear and nose are currently not frequent, but their lethality remains high. The choice of optimal, safe and effective access in surgical treatment of purulent-inflammatory intracranial complications remains a subject of discussions and is based on an individual approach, depends on the volume, localization and clinical condition of the patient.
Objective: To demonstrate a clinical case of successful drainage of the brain frontal lobe abscess using endoscopic transnasal access under the control of the navigation system.

Objective: This study aims to summarize the clinical characteristics of skull base osteoradionecrosis (ORN) with the internal carotid artery (ICA) involvement and to distill the key surgical techniques that can enhance the protective measures for ICA.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective, observational study over a six-year period from February 2017 to May 2023. We included patients who were diagnosed with osteoradionecrosis with invasion of the internal carotid artery and collected their demographic information, pathology results, complication rates, ect.

Rapid diagnosis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks is critical as endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery gains global prominence. Current clinical methods such as endoscopic examination with and without intrathecal injection of fluorescent dye are invasive and rely on subjective judgment by physicians, highlighting the clinical need for label-free point-of-care (POC). However, a viable solution remains undeveloped due to the molecular complexity of CSF rhinorrhea mixed with nasal discharge and the scarcity of specific biomarkers, delaying sensor development.
