RESUMO
Due to the paranasal sinuses adjacent to the orbit, the sinonasal malignancy is prone to invade the orbit, which is not only the advanced stage of the tumor, but also one of the poor prognostic factors. Preoperative CT and MRI scan and intraoperative frozen section analysis are used to evaluate the orbital invasion of the tumor. Orbital preservation is adopted if the periorbita is not transgressed by tumor. Orbital preservation can be considered if the tumor invades the periorbita and extraconal fat in a limited range, responds well to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy or other multimodality treatment, or has a negative section margin. Orbital exenteration is performed if the tumor extensively invades the periorbita, and invades the extraocular muscle, eyeball and orbital apex. Whether orbital preservation or orbital exenteration is adopted, it should be evaluated and made decision by a multidisciplinary team, and fully communicate with the patient.
RESUMO
Objective To assess the clinical efficiency and side effects of topical mometasone furoate aqueous nasal spray for patients with naphazoline-induced rebound rhinitis. Methods A prospective, non-randomized and self-controlled study was applied. A total of 22 patients with naphazoline-induced rhinitis received two spray-puffs of 50 μg mometason furoate twice daily to each nostril in the morning for one week, followed by two spray-puffs of 50 μg mometason furoate once daily to each nostril every morning for another three weeks after withdrawn of naphazoline therapy. Nasal congestion was evaluated by visual an-alogue scale (VAS) recorded before and after treatment. Side effects like nose bleeding and perforation of the nasal septum was detected with rhinoscope. Results The statistical difference of VAS before and after treatment was significant. No adverse reac-tions as nose bleeding and perforation of the nasal septum were observed by the end of treatment. Conclusion It is safe and effective to use mometasone furoate aqueous nasal spray for treating rebound rhinitis induced by misuse of naphazoline nasal drop.

OBJECTIVE@#To report 13 cases of ethmoid osteoma removed through an endoscopic approach and discuss the operative technique and clinical value.@*METHOD@#Thirteen cases with ethmoid osteoma were retrospectively reviewed in the study. All procedures were performed with CT image guidance-according to the site of attachment. The anterior ethmoid cell was resected, and the whitish osteoma found. A double blunt elevator was used to separate the osteoma from ethmoid cell, and to push the osteoma medially toward the nasal septum, and (or) inferiorly toward the middle meatus. This method was performed in 7 patients (8 sides), whose CT scan showed the osteoma bases were not attached to lamina papyracea, and (or) anterior skull base. The others were drilled out with a intranasal powered drill for its attached to lamina papyracea in 4 patients and to anterior skull base in 2 patients.@*RESULT@#Thirteen cases of ethmoid osteoma were removed completely through an endoscopic approach and there were no intraorbital or intracranial complication. Endoscopy showed normal epithelization at around 6 to 8 weeks after surgery.@*CONCLUSION@#Preoperative CT scans, including coronal and axial images, is very helpful to determine the sites of the osteoma attachment and plan the operation. Endoscopic removal of ethmoid osteoma is not only an ideal, less invasive surgical approach, but also no cosmetic alteration.
