The field of endoscopic endonasal surgery is in a constant state of advancement, with an expanding range of applications. Improvement in the diversity of instruments available, along with the increasing proficiency of surgical teams, has enabled the successful endoscopic treatment of complex sinonasal and skull base malignancies. Not only is the overall complication rate reduced by endoscopic approaches, but survival outcomes have also shown promising results when compared to traditional open approaches.

Rhinology and Skull Base Research Group, St Vincent's Centre for Applied Medical Research, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia.
Background: Type 2 inflammation dominates eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (eCRS) and adult onset asthma. IL-4, -5, and -13 are prominent disease mediators. Disease control can be achieved with biologic therapies.

Rationale: Smoking has been shown to be associated with circulating deficiencies in 25(OH)D3 and reduced sinonasal tissue levels of the active form of vitamin D, 1,25(OH)2D3. Given vitamin D's ability to reduce inflammation, we sought to examine if intranasal (IN) delivery of calcitriol [clinical analog of 1,25(OH)2D3] could reduce inflammation and improve disease severity in a murine model of chronic cigarette smoke-induced sinonasal inflammation (CS-SI).
Methods: Mice were exposed to CS 5 h/day, 5 days/week for 9 months, and then began IN calcitriol three times per week for 4 weeks.
Fibrous Histiocytoma in the Far Lateral Frontal Sinus-A Rare Observation.
Diagnostics (Basel)
December 2024
Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Medical University of Graz, Auenbruggerplatz 26, 8010 Graz, Austria.
This report describes a rare occurrence of benign fibrous histiocytoma in the frontal sinus of a 38-year-old male. The patient presented with acute symptoms, including sudden-onset headache, nausea, and general discomfort, although neurological, otorhinolaryngological and laboratory examinations showed no abnormalities. A cranial CT scan revealed a cystic, osteodestructive lesion measuring 2.

Background: Sinonasal malignancies, in which squamous cell carcinomas are the most common are rare and difficult to treat given the location and anatomical structures involved. Sinonasal malignancies often present late due to non-specific and benign symptoms. Partial resections are often associated with poorer outcomes [1].
