Aims And Background: Primary paragangliomas of nasal cavity and paranasal sinus are rare conditions that could show aggressive behavior with local recurrence and metastasis development. The diagnosis of malignancy is challenging because there are no available histopathologic criteria. In these cases, the prognosis is usually poor.
Methods: We report a case of a woman with malignant paranasal sinus paragangliomas.
Results: The patient was treated with several surgical approaches, radiotherapy, and medical therapy for different recurrences.
Conclusions: Despite the malignant behavior of the disease, this patient is still alive many years after first diagnosis.

Discriminating between the maxillary tuberosity and the alveolar tuberosity- a critical pictorial review.
Surg Radiol Anat
January 2025
Division of Anatomy, Department 1, Faculty of Dentistry, "Carol Davila" University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Bucharest, RO-020021, Romania.
Purpose: The maxillary tuberosity, a critical anatomical landmark in dentistry and maxillofacial surgery, is burdened by terminological confusion. This inconsistency hampers clinical practice and communication across disciplines.
Method: Different resources were used to argue for the necessity of standardising the terminology related to maxillary tuberosity to enhance diagnostic precision and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
Bilateral Preseptal Cellulitis and Upper Eyelid Abscess Without Predisposing Factors: A Case Report and Pathogenic Hypothesis.

Department of Oculo-Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Farabi Eye Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, IRN.
Bilateral preseptal cellulitis without accompanying sinusitis or skin trauma is uncommon. In this report, we present a case of bilateral preseptal cellulitis and an upper eyelid abscess in an otherwise healthy child. A nine-year-old girl presented with severe and progressive bilateral swelling of the upper lids that showed an unsatisfactory response to medical treatments (intravenous ceftazidime and vancomycin) and warranted a referral to our facility.

BMC Oral Health
January 2025
Faculty of Dentistry Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Ondokuz Mayıs University, Atakum/Samsun, Turkey.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, location and diameters of Posterior superior alveolar artery (PSAA) and Infraorbital foramen (IOF) to find out whether there is any relationship between PSAA and IOF, and to predict their location relative to each other in surgical procedures by using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Material And Method: Bilateral maxillary sinuses were analysed retrospectively in 170 patients with no missing teeth in the maxillary posterior region. The largest locations of PSAA and IOF in the maxillary sinus were determined and their size, shape, location in relation to the teeth and distances from anatomical points were evaluated.
Advanced paranasal sinuses osteomas: a retrospective multicentric analysis on surgical management outcomes and intra- and postsurgical complications.
Rhinology
January 2025
Otorhinolaryngology and Skull Base Center, AP-HP, Hospital Lariboisière, Paris, France.
Background: This study examines the management and outcomes of large paranasal sinus osteomas (PSO), especially those abutting or encasing critical structures of the skull base and orbit.
Methodology: A multicentric retrospective analysis was conducted between June 2007 and September 2023. The study included surgically treated (regardless the type of approach chosen) PSO, exceeding 3 cm in diameter and/or located in critical anatomical areas.
Jansen metaphyseal chondrodysplasia: analysis of craniofacial manifestations.
JBMR Plus
February 2025
Radiology and Imaging Sciences, National Institutes of Health Clinical Center, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, United States.
Jansen metaphyseal chondrodysplasia (JMC) is an ultra-rare disorder caused by constitutive activation of parathyroid hormone type 1 receptor (PTH1R). We sought to characterize the craniofacial phenotype of patients with the disease. Six patients with genetically confirmed JMC underwent comprehensive craniofacial phenotyping revealing a distinct facial appearance that prompted a cephalometric analysis demonstrating a pattern of mandibular retrognathia.
