Published: October 2022

Introduction And Importance: Extra cranial primary meningioma of sinonasal tract is a rare entity. It is often misdiagnosed as nasal polyp.

Case Presentation: Here we report a case of a primary ethmoid sinus meningioma with extension into the nasal cavity in a 41-year-old man. The tumor was completely excised via endoscopic endonasalapproach and the histologic diagnosis of meningioma was established. The patient was regularly follow up for 12 months without recurrence of the tumor.

Clinical Discussion: The final diagnosis of primary sinonasal meningioma is based on histopathology and immunohistochemistry analyses results. The importance of complete surgical resection is undoubted and also is a goodindicator prognosis.

Conclusion: The otolaryngologists should be aware of the diagnosis of primary meningioma; despite of its rarity it is considered as a possible cause of nasal obstruction.

Managing acute venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with thrombocytopenia is challenging. We used data from the RIETE registry to investigate the impact of baseline thrombocytopenia on early VTE-related outcomes, depending on the initial presentation as pulmonary embolism (PE) or isolated lower-limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT). From March 2003 to November 2022, 90 418 patients with VTE were included.

Unlabelled: Policy Points A redirection of measurement in health care from a narrow focus on diseases and care processes towards assessing whole person health, as perceived by the person themself, may provide a galvanizing view of how health care can best meet the needs of people and help patients feel heard, seen, and understood by their care team. This review identifies key tensions to navigate as well as four overarching categories of whole person health for consideration in developing an instrument optimized for clinical practice. The categories (body and mind, relationships, living environment and finances, and engagement in daily life) include nine constituent domains.
