The orbit may be frequently involved by sinonasal or ventral skull base malignancy. This involvement bodes a poorer prognosis for survival. Multimodality therapy with surgery and radiation therapy is usually attempted to optimize local control and overall survival. Oncologic surgical resection with negative margins is critical to local control and survival. In the past, any involvement of the orbit was deemed to necessitate orbital sacrifice. However, contemporary studies show that in carefully selected cases, orbital preservation does not adversely impact survival. In addition, novel reconstructive techniques can help minimize complications and optimize functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Transorbital transposition of the temporoparietal fascia flap to reconstruct the skull base defects: A preclinical study with comparison to the transpterygoid transposition.

Background: Transpterygoid transposition of the temporoparietal fascia flap (TPFF) is a feasible selection for ventral skull base defect (VSBD) reconstruction, but not anterior skull base defect (ASBD) reconstruction, after expanded endoscopic endonasal approach (EEEA). The goal of this study is to introduce the transorbital transposition of the TPFF for skull base defects reconstruction after EEEA, and make quantitative comparison between the transpterygoid transposition and transorbital transposition.
Methods: Cadaveric dissections were performed in five adult cadaveric heads with creating three transporting corridors bilaterally, encompassing superior transorbital corridor, inferior transorbital corridor, and transpterygoid corridor.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the nasal cavity structures of the endangered Patagonian huemul deer using CT scans, creating 3D models to analyze their shape and volume.
- - Findings reveal that the huemul has a large nasal cavity with distinct features such as six nasal meatuses and a complex system of paranasal sinuses that differentiate it from other deer species like the pudu and roe deer.
- - The unique morphology of the huemul's nasal complex may increase its susceptibility to sinonasal issues, highlighting the importance of understanding its anatomy for conservation efforts.
CT and cross-sectional anatomy of the paranasal sinuses in the Holstein cow.

The structure of paranasal sinuses in cattle is difficult to understand due to its complexity, age-related changes, and insufficient published data. In this prospective, anatomic study, we described the anatomy of the paranasal sinuses in the Holstein cow using computed tomography (CT) and cross-sectional anatomic slices. Twelve healthy adult Holstein cow heads were used for this study.

Case Summary: An 8-year-old domestic longhair cat was evaluated for a right ventral subcutaneous cervical mass. Serial bloodwork and contrast-enhanced cranial and thoracic CT initially lacked ethmoturbinate lysis and showed a progressive, vascularized, right ventral cervical mass involving local lymph nodes. The mass was removed surgically on two occasions.
