Purpose: Peri-operative management of nasal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks is not consensual due to limited evidence. The main aim of this study was to identify key factors in peri-operative management of endoscopic endonasal CSF leak repair among international experts.

Methods: A 60-item survey questionnaire collected opinions of members of international learned societies of ENT surgeons and neurosurgeons on nasal packing, post-operative instructions, antibiotic prophylaxis, and CSF volume depletion.

Article Synopsis
  • A global collaborative study reviewed the management and outcomes of malignant skull base tumors, collecting data from 28 institutions involving 3,061 patients.
  • The majority of surgeries utilized an open approach (55%), with endoscopic (36%) and combined techniques (9.6%) being less common, and the overall 5-year survival rates were 65% for overall survival (OS) and 71.7% for disease-specific survival (DSS).
  • Factors such as older age, comorbidities, and the extent of tumor involvement were identified as independent predictors of survival, while adjuvant radiation therapy (RT) emerged as a protective factor in outcomes.

Olfactory neuroblastoma is a rare tumor. Nasal endoscopy typically identifies a soft mass arising from the olfactory cleft. Computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are mandatory for staging (in association with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography) in high-grade and/or high-stage tumors.

ENT Department - Skull Base Center, Lariboisière Hospital, 2, rue Ambroise-Paré, 75010 Paris, France; Université Paris Diderot, 5, rue Thomas-Mann, 75013 Paris, France.

Objectives: Surgical treatment of temporo-sphenoidal meningoceles involves the reduction of the meningocele, watertight closure and defect coverage with a nasoseptal flap (NSF). It can be performed contralaterally or ipsilaterally: in the latter situation, the pedicle of the flap must be dissected into the pterygopalatine fossa. The objective of this study was to evaluate the benefit of using an ipsilateral NSF in transpterygoid approaches for the management of temporo-sphenoidal meningoceles, compared to a contralateral NSF, based on a radiological study.
