Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics, management, and outcomes of orbital osteomas in the pediatric age group, and compare these to osteomas managed in the adult population.
Methods: A retrospective review of 3 cases of rapidly progressive orbital osteomas in young patients was performed. In addition, a systematic review of the literature following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines was conducted to describe the clinical characteristics, management, and outcomes of orbital osteomas in the pediatric age group. The PubMed/MEDLINE database was searched in December 2019 for studies reporting data on patients with orbital osteomas.
Results: Fifty-nine patients were included in this pediatric review, 39 male patients (68%), 18 female patients (32%), and 2 cases with unreported genders. Average age was 15.9 years with a range of 4-21 years. Average osteoma size measured 30.7 mm with a range of 9-60 mm. Adult osteoma size for comparison was smaller than 10 mm in majority of cases. The most common location of pediatric osteomas was the ethmoid sinus. The frontal sinus was the most common location in adult patients. Ninety-seven percent of reported pediatric cases required surgical intervention, compared with only 6.5% in adults.
Conclusions: Orbital osteomas in younger patients are larger when identified, grow faster, are more likely to be symptomatic, and more likely to require surgical intervention compared with those identified in older patients. We recommend close monitoring of osteomas identified in young patients as well as counseling regarding the potential need for future resection.

: Canine tooth syndrome is a rare condition defined by the simultaneous presence of superior oblique palsy and Brown syndrome, resulting from pathological changes in the trochlear region. This syndrome can develop through various mechanisms, including dog bites, head trauma, infections, inflammation, and scarring. This report highlights its occurrence following sinus surgery for the first time.

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.
Fibro-osseous lesions of the sinonasal tract: a contemporary review.
Curr Opin Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
February 2025
Department of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA.
Purpose Of Review: Fibro-osseous lesions (FOL) are benign, slow-growing lesions that are often incidentally discovered in the sinonasal cavity. They may necessitate surgical resection in patients with postobstructive sinusitis, or in cases of cranial nerve and orbital compression. We examine the recent advancements in otolaryngology relating to diagnostic characteristics and treatments for FOL, with emphasis on new technologies to improve outcomes and reduce recurrence.

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.
