Article Synopsis
  • Hydatid disease is a rare parasitic infection, especially in the head and neck region, and can lead to cystic formations that can cause various symptoms due to their size or rupture.
  • A 38-year-old male presented with recurrent ear issues and headaches, and imaging revealed cystic lesions affecting both the temporal bone and intracranial structures.
  • The patient underwent surgery and received medical treatment with Albendazole, resulting in a successful outcome as he remained asymptomatic one year post-surgery.

Cochlear implant surgery can be highly complex in cases where ossification of the internal ear has taken place. In this case report, we report the use of new technological instruments to optimise the surgical process of implantation. These were the combined use of a surgical approach extended by a subtotal petrosectomy, a pre-operative radiological study with the OTOPLAN software for choosing the most suitable electrode array, and a residual functionality test of the auditory nerve using the ANTS test electrode array prior to inserting the cochlear implant electrode array.

Background And Objectives: Beyond qualitative evidence legitimizing endoscopic corridors through contralateral transmaxillary (CTM) and endonasal ipsilateral transpterygoid (ITP) corridors to the petrous apex and petroclival region, surgical feasibility by direct quantitative comparative anatomy is sparse. Our cadaveric study addresses this by performing the CTM approach followed by ITP extension to quantify the extent of petrous apex resection, instrument maneuverability, and working distance to petrous apex.

Methods: Anatomic dissections were performed bilaterally on 5 latex-injected human cadaveric heads (10 petrous bones).

Background And Objectives: The combined petrosal intertentorial approach (CPIA) has been proposed as an alternative to standard combined petrosal approach (SCPA). CPIA has been designed to maintain integrity of the temporal dura with a view to reduce temporal lobe morbidity and venous complications. This study has been designed to perform a quantitative comparison between these approaches.
