Paranasal Sinus Surgery

The pediatric nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, when compared to those in adults, differ not only in size but also in proportion. Knowledge of the unique anatomy and pneumatization of children's sinuses is an important prerequisite to understanding the pathogenesis of sinusitis and its complications. It is also important in evaluation of radiographs and in planning surgical interventions. In order to study the development of the paranasal sinuses in children and relate clinical anatomy to sinus surgery, the sinuses in 102 pediatric skulls and cadaver heads were measured. The results were classified by stage of development into 4 different age groups: newborn and 1 to 4, 4 to 8, and 8 to 12 years. The characteristics of each group and their clinical importance for paranasal sinus surgery are described.

Paranasal Sinus Surgery

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is often treated by functional endoscopic paranasal sinus surgery, which improves endoscopic parameters and quality of life, while olfactory function was suggested as a further criterion of treatment success. In a prospective cohort study, 37 parameters from four categories were recorded from 60 men and 98 women before and four months after endoscopic sinus surgery, including endoscopic measures of nasal anatomy/pathology, assessments of olfactory function, quality of life, and socio-demographic or concomitant conditions. Parameters containing relevant information about changes associated with surgery were examined using unsupervised and supervised methods, including machine-learning techniques for feature selection. The analyzed cohort included 52 men and 38 women. Changes in the endoscopic Lildholdt score allowed separation of baseline from postoperative data with a cross-validated accuracy of 85%. Further relevant information included primary nasal symptoms from SNOT-20 assessments, and self-assessments of olfactory function. Overall improvement in these relevant parameters was observed in 95% of patients. A ranked list of criteria was developed as a proposal to assess the outcome of functional endoscopic sinus surgery in CRS patients with nasal polyposis. Three different facets were captured, including the Lildholdt score as an endoscopic measure and, in addition, disease-specific quality of life and subjectively perceived olfactory function.

Abstract A case of intraventricular tension pneumocephalus occurring as a complication of paranasal sinus surgery is presented. The pathophysiology of tension pneumocephalus is discussed and emphasis is placed on the potentially life-threatening increase in intracranial pressure that occurs. Tension pneumocephalus requires prompt diagnosis and treatment.

Paranasal Sinus Surgery

We describe a new method of documentation of the dynamics of the nature of wound healing after endonasal paranasal sinus surgery. This was not possible until now and is achieved by the computer-assisted interpolation known as morphing. We evaluated six patients with chronic polypoid sinusitis of similar extent who underwent 12 complete endonasal micro-endoscopic pansinus operations. It is difficult to describe the overlapping and meshing phases sufficiently in words. They are much more easily understood by looking at the whole process in its natural dynamic on a video screen. Wound healing after complete endonasal pansinus operation lasts over 6 months. Scar remodelling has not yet finished at this time. The following measures are recommended for decreasing postoperative granulations, edema, and swelling: minimizing the surgical trauma, long-term packing with an occlusive, nonadherent material (rubber finger packing), and topical steroids (Budesonide).
