Intraosseous hemangiomas account for 1% of all bone tumors and primarily originate from the vertebral column and skull bones. However, intraosseous hemangiomas of the nasal cavity are extremely rare. Here, we report a case of intraosseous hemangioma with a cavernous pattern arising from the middle turbinate that was preoperatively misdiagnosed as chronic rhinosinusitis with polyps. Except for nasal obstruction, there were no specific rhinologic symptoms. The tumor was excised en bloc by the endoscopic endonasal approach without preoperative embolization.

Lobular capillary hemangioma mostly occurs in the anterior portion of the nasal cavity, rarely occurring in the posterior end of the inferior turbinate, as in this case. We report a case of lobular capillary hemangioma originating from the posterior end of the right inferior turbinate, which was successfully removed via an endoscopic endonasal approach.

Osseous hemangioma typically occurs in the vertebral column or skull bones. It it is extremely rare in the nasal bone. Only nine cases originating in the turbinate and maxillary bone have been reported in the English and Korean literature. Herein, we present the case of a 51-year-old women with a dorsum mass to share our experience with intraosseous hemangioma successfully removed and reconstructed by an endonasal approach.

Objective: Determine the efficacy of the anterior skull base reconstruction in adult patients with intranasal meningoceles and meningoencephaloceles treated by endoscopic endonasal approach. Study design: Retrospective observational study of adult patients admitted to a tertiary hospital. Materials and methods: Intranasal meningocele was defined as a protrusion of meninges through a defect in the skull base forming a cyst filled with cerebrospinal fluid in the nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses. If the cyst had brain tissue it was called meningoencephalocele. The electronic clinical records of patients admitted with suspected of intranasal MC or MEC between January 2010 and December 2018 were reviewed. All patients treated by endoscopic endonasal approach were included. We excluded those cases with anterior skull base previous surgeries (iatrogenic or following tumoral resections), reconstruction with external surgical approaches and those who were less than 18 years old. Results: Intranasal MC was the most frequent lesion (6/5) and there was one patient with MEC (1/6). 5 cases were idiopathic and one patient had history of transnasal surgery. A total of 83,3% of the cases were primary surgeries and one patient had 3 prior MC surgeries. Only in four of them (66,6%) the lesion location was detected by at least one of the studies (CT, MRI and/or endoscopy). We performed a multilayer closure technique in all patients. During the immediate postoperative period, one patient had acute meningitis. One patient had a CSF leak recurrence 4 months after surgery. The success rate of the reconstructions performed by endonasal approach was 83.33% (5/6). The average follow-up of the patients was 15 months. Conclusion: The effectiveness of the anterior skull base reconstruction in adult patients with meningoceles and meningoencephaloceles performed by endoscopic endonasal approach in our series was 83.33% (5/6). This procedure is currently the gold standard due to its high efficacy and low morbidity. According to current studies, it is recommended to perform the reconstruction with a multilayer technique.
