Endoscopic surgery of the accessory nasal sinuses (ANA) is widely used as the main treatment method for ANA diseases. It is a well-proven, safe and effective method. However, occasionally certain complications may occur. Ophthalmic complications are rare but can lead to irreversible changes. Anatomical organization of the orbit and paranasal sinuses contributes to the risk of damaging the eye ball and its appendages. During endoscopic sinus surgeries, of the ethmoid bone, extraocular muscles, the optic nerve and the lacrimal passages can be damaged. Ophthalmic complications are classified as non-significant, significant and severe. Studying the data obtained with multi-slice computed and/or magnetic resonance tomography and the patient's medical history during the preoperative stage is necessary in order to minimize the risk of such complications, as well as monitoring the clinical data during all stages of treatment.

Investigating paranasal sinuses developmental disorders and septum deviation angle effects on olfactory fossa depth using cone-beam computed tomography.

Dent Res J (Isfahan)

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Faculty of Dentistry, Islamic Azad University, Isfahan (Khorasgan) Branch, Isfahan, Iran.

Background: The ethmoid roof separates the ethmoid cells from the anterior cranial fossa. From the medial side, the roof of the ethmoid is connected to the lateral lamella of the ethmoid plate, which is the thinnest bone at the base of the skull and is most vulnerable to damage during endoscopic surgeries. The purpose of this study is to investigate the height of the lateral lamella in patients with hypoplasia/aplasia of the paranasal sinuses and deviation of the nasal septum using reconstructed multiplanar images by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Budesonide nasal irrigation for chronic rhinosinusitis: a meta-analysis of therapeutic outcomes and safety profile.

Rhinology

Department of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, College of Medicine, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Background: Corticosteroids are used in managing Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS) through several formulations, including oral steroids and nasal sprays. More recently, incorporating concentrated budesonide respules into high-volume saline irrigations has been proposed to enhance the penetration of topical steroids into the paranasal sinuses. We aim to evaluate the safety and efficacy of budesonide nasal irrigation (BNI) in managing CRS.
