ABSTRACT
But :discuter les modalités diagnostiques et thérapeutiques des paralysies faciales périphériques d'origine choléstéatomateuse.Matériel et méthodes :étude rétrospective sur une période de 20 ans (1994- 2013). Mille quatre cent vinght trois patients ont été opérés pour otite moyenne choléstéatomateuse. Sept cas compliqués d'une paralysie faciale périphérique ont fait l'objet de ce travail.Résultats :L'incidence de la paralysie faciale était de 0,5%. La paralysie faciale était d'installation brutale chez quatre patients et progressive dans trois cas. Elle était partielle dans cinq cas et complète chez deux patients. En per opératoire, le canal facial était intact dans 4 cas. La matrice de cholésteatome était disséquée sans ouverture de la gaine du nerf dénudé et en respectant le canal facial indemne. L'évolution était favorable dans les cas où le canal facial était intact. Conclusion : La paralysie faciale d'origine choléstéatomateuse est une urgence chirurgicale. Plusieurs facteurs conditionnent le pronostic, dominés par l'intégrité du canal facial osseux

Introduction : Les mucocèles nasosinusiennes sont des pseudo-tumeurs d'allure kystique, relativement rares. Malgré leur bénignité, elles ont une tendance expansive et destructrice. Buts : Proposer une stratégie thérapeutique appropriée des mucocèles naso-sinuisennes.Matériel et Méthodes : Etude rétrospective portant sur 43 patients opérés entre 1992 et 2012. Résultats :Il s'agit de 27 hommes et de 16 femmes. L'âge moyen était de 47 ans. Des antécédents de traumatisme crânio-facial, de chirurgie nasosinusienne ou du massif facial ont été retrouvés respectivement dans 16.27%, 25.58% et 9,3% des cas. Les localisations éthmoïdo-frontales étaient les plus fréquentes (14 cas). Les voies endoscopique endonasale, mixte ou externe ont été utilisées dans 30, 4 et 9 cas. Conclusion : La voie endoscopique endonasale est actuellement la voie de référence pour le traitement des mucocèles. La voie externe garde certaines indications. La marsupialisation est le traitement de choix permettant le respect de la physiologie sinusienn

INTRODUCTION: Osteoma is the most common benign tumor of the nose and paranasal sinuses. It is a slow-growing bony tumor, often asymptomatic, occurring mainly in frontal and ethmoid sinuses. Theories regarding the origin of osteomas are still discussed. The aims of the study were to describe diagnosis circumstances in our series and to set out our respective indications for open and endoscopic approaches in the treatment of nasosinusal osteomas. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on the files of all the patients treated for a paranasal sinus osteoma in our department between 1990 and 2013. Diagnosis circumstances and kind of treatment were collected and analyzed. RESULTS: The files of 45 patients (mean age: 49.2; sex-ratio: 1.19) could be collected. The most common symptom was headache found in all patients. The most common location was the frontal sinus (30 cases). Thirty-nine open procedures were performed. Four osteomas were removed under endoscopic assistance. In one case, a combined approach has been used. Overall complication rate was 11.1%. Symptoms improved in all patients. Two recurrences were observed. DISCUSSION: Surgical indications in paranasal sinus osteomas are theorically well codified. However, approaches remain controversial. In our experience, the preferred approach was the open one. Endoscopic techniques, when indicated, are more challenging and need sophisticated instrumentation and a long learning curve.

PURPOSE: Describe the clinical presentations of orbital complications of acute sinusitis and discuss therapeutic approaches. METHODS: Retrospective study of 29 cases of acute sinusitis with orbital extension hospitalized over a period of 12years (2000 to 2012). RESULTS: There were 23 men and 6 women. The mean age was 15.75years. The average time until consultation was 7.68 days. Sinusitis was ethmoido-maxillary in 20 cases, ethmoidal in 6 cases, and frontal in 3 cases. Orbital extension was grouped according to the Chandler classification: stage I (3 cases), stage II (3 cases), stage III (15 cases), stage IV (8 cases). Antibiotic therapy was prescribed in all cases. Surgery was performed in 22 cases. Bacterial cultures revealed streptococcus (2 cases), aspergillus fumigatus (1 case) and were negative in 8 cases. The outcome was favorable in 27 cases. In two cases, the outcome was unfavorable with associated intracranial complications. DISCUSSION: Oculoorbital extension of acute sinusitis is a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency. Paranasal sinus CT is essential to confirm orbital extension and identify the causative sinus. Intravenous antibiotic therapy is the main treatment. The roles of corticosteroid and heparin therapy remain controversial. Surgery is indicated in the case of abscess or high visual risk. Endoscopic endonasal surgery appears to have a double role, in diagnosis and treatment.
