Foreign bodies lodged in the intraconal space of the orbit pose a surgical challenge due to its deep location behind the globe. Image-guided endoscopic transnasal surgery facilitates the localization of the metallic foreign bodies and enables its safe removal with minimal surrounding tissue damage and optic nerve injury.

Background: Transnasal endoscopic decompression of the optic nerve is increasingly gaining acceptance among ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeons, however neither strict indications for the procedure nor the precise extent of effective decompression have been firmly established to date. This study aimed to determine the distance between endoscopically visible, anatomical structures within the sphenoid sinus and the posterior (i.e.

This study aimed to examine the clinical features and assess the surgical outcomes of traumatic optic neuropathy in pediatric patients. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 15 cases (17 eyes) of traumatic optic neuropathy in pediatric patients aged 1 to 6 years between January 2015 and July 2024. Two of them presented with binocular trauma, resulting in a total of 17 affected eyes.

Background: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage frequently complicates endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal pituitary resections, despite the use of lumbar drains, nasoseptal flaps, or commercial dura sealants. Managing this complication often requires revision surgery and increases the risk of infection. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), an affordable autologous biomaterial derived from the patient's blood through short, angulated centrifugation, contains growth factors and leukocytes embedded in a fibrin matrix.

The temporoparietal fascia flap (TPFF) has recently emerged as an option for skull base reconstruction in endoscopic transnasal surgery when vascularized nasal flaps are not available. This study provides a systematic literature review of its use in skull base surgery and describes a novel cohort of patients. PRISMA guidelines were used for the review.
