Abstract BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE A pituitary adenoma patient who underwent surgery in our department was diagnosed with COVID-19 and 14 medical staff were confirmed infected later. This case has been cited several times but without accuracy or entirety, we feel obligated to report it and share our thoughts on the epidemic among medical staff and performing endonasal endoscopic surgery during COVID-19 pandemic. CLINICAL PRESENTATION The patient developed a fever 3 d post endonasal endoscopic surgery during which cerebrospinal leak occurred, and was confirmed with SARS-CoV-2 infection later. Several medical staff outside the operating room were diagnosed with COVID-19, while the ones who participated in the surgery were not. CONCLUSION The deceptive nature of COVID-19 results from its most frequent onset symptom, fever, a cliché in neurosurgery, which makes it hard for surgeons to differentiate. The COVID-19 epidemic among medical staff in our department was deemed as postoperative rather than intraoperative transmission, and attributed to not applying sufficient personal airway protection. Proper personal protective equipment and social distancing between medical staff contributed to limiting epidemic since the initial outbreak. Emergency endonasal endoscopic surgeries are feasible since COVID-19 is still supposed to be containable when the surgeries are performed in negative pressure operating rooms with personal protective equipment and the patients are kept under quarantine postoperatively. However, we do not encourage elective surgeries during this pandemic, which might put patients in conditions vulnerable to COVID-19.

Histopathological Type

Congenital cholesteatoma is a whitish mass in the middle ear medial to an intact tympanic membrane. It is often without symptoms and therefore incidentally diagnosed. Pediatric congenital cholesteatoma generally starts as a small pearl-like mass in the middle ear cavity that eventually expands to involve the ossicles, epitympanum, and mastoid. The location, size, histopathological type, and extent of the mass must be evaluated to select the appropriate surgical method. Although microscopic ear surgery has traditionally been performed to remove congenital cholesteatoma, a recently introduced alternative is endoscopic surgery, which allows a minimally invasive approach and has better visualization. Here, we report the first known case of a patient with congenital cholesteatoma in the anterior epitympanic recess and discuss the utility of an endoscopic approach in the removal of a congenital cholesteatoma in the hidden area within the middle ear.

Ring Cell

Gastric signet ring cell carcinoma has well-known metastatic features, including peritoneal dissemination and carcinomatous lymphangitis of the lung, but no intraorbital metastases were reported previously. A woman in her 60s developed left eye pain, sudden vision loss, and headache 12 years after gastric cancer treatment. Symptoms did not improve despite steroid pulses. Craniotomy showed no malignant findings. The patient was referred to our department for symptomatic relief and biopsy due to the lack of a definitive diagnosis and no improvement in her ocular pain. Endonasal endoscopic surgery was performed for diagnostic purposes and to relieve symptoms through orbital decompression. Preoperative computed tomography examination revealed a tumor at the left medial orbit, extending to the orbital apex. Orbital decompression through the open left medial orbital wall was performed with biopsy of the intraorbital tumor. Pathological findings were consistent with metastatic signet ring cell carcinoma. Pain and subjective improvement of visual acuity were noted the day after surgery. Twelve months postoperatively, diplopia remains, but there has been no worsening of symptoms.
