Service d'ORL et de chirurgie cervico-faciale, centre hospitalo-universitaire, Dijon, France; ImVia laboratoire de recherche, université de Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, Dijon, France.

Intraoperative imaging during skull-base surgery allows the operator to control surgical dissection and to tailor the approach, reducing morbidity due to inadequate resection or reintervention. The O-arm® (Medtronic, Fridley, MN, USA) navigation system is an intraoperative cone-beam CT device that was first designed for spinal surgery but now has applications in lateral skull-base surgery. In this technical note, we present a patient with petrous apex cholesterol granuloma located medial to the intrapetrous internal carotid artery and in the infralabyrinthine compartment.

Article Synopsis
  • - Eosinophilic angiocentric fibrosis (EAF) is a slow-growing but sometimes damaging lesion primarily found in the sinonasal area, with its cause still unclear despite being identified in 1983; some now believe it could be related to IgG4-related systemic diseases.
  • - A case study is presented of a 76-year-old male with two growths in his nasal cavities, diagnosed as idiopathic EAF after histological analysis revealed characteristic features like fibroblast proliferation and an "onion skin-like" pattern.
  • - Pathologists should consider EAF as part of the IgG4-related disease spectrum, recommending IgG4 testing to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment.
