RESUMEN

Mucocele of the paranasal sinuses is a rare disease with slow evolution. It is a benign, encapsulated and destructive formation filled with mucous fluid and tapistrated with respiratory epithelium. Of all the paranasal sinuses, the sphenoid sinus is affected in only 1-7% of the cases. We present two cases of mucocele of the sphenoid sinus involving the posterior ethmoidal cells. We consider here their clinical presentation, use of neuroimaging in the diagnosis, surgical care and postoperative results. Both patients presented with a history of persistent headache and in addition, one of them had a paresis of the right oculomotor and abducens nerves. A transnasal endoscopic sphenoidectomy was performed in both patients, in one - with an evacuation of the mucocele and marsupialization, and in the other - with a balloon dilatation of the natural foramen of the sinus. Postoperatively, a complete reversal of the symptoms was observed in both patients. Mucocele of the paranasal sinuses should be considered as a diagnosis in cases of persistent headache with a primarily retrobulbar location and eye symptoms. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging can be used to successfully diagnose the disease. The transnasal endoscopic sphenoidectomy is the therapeutic method of choice which allows evacuation of the mucocele, while the marsupialization allows good drainage and prevents recurrence.

RESUMEN

AIM: The authors have studied the anatomical characteristics of the vascularization of the forehead flap used for nasal reconstruction. MATERIAL AND METHODS: For the period 1990--2000 ten cadaver dissections were performed and three patients underwent reconstructions using the forehead flap. The results obtained reveal that the blood supply of the flap is provided by the suprathrochlear, supraorbital and frontal branch of the superficial temporal vessels, which form a network of anastomoses between the frontal muscle and the skin. Three cases of successful nasal reconstruction are presented. Two of the patients had traumatic injury of the nose and one was with postoperative defect in the naso-labial area, nose and maxilla obtained after ablation surgery for neoplasm (spinocellular carcinoma). The reconstruction was done with vascularized oblique forehead flap. DISCUSSION: The results were evaluated as good. There were no complications. CONCLUSION: The results of the anatomical study of the blood supply of the forehead flap and the clinical results of nasal reconstruction are discussed in relation with the literature data.

RESUMEN

AIM: Functional endoscopic sinus surgery is widely utilized to assess and treat inflammatory sinonasal diseases. The use of this surgical technique has resulted in a dramatic increase of the radiologic studies carried out as part of presurgical preparation. Computed tomography (CT) has become a standard for pre-endoscopic and postoperative assessment of the paranasal sinuses. In our study we aimed at finding the optimal imaging technique for CT examination of the sinuses. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We examined 60 patients with inflammatory sinonasal diseases using Sytec 3000 CT scanner. The scans were performed in the coronal and axial plane. The kilovolt peak was kept constant and the milliampere second setting was reduced without image compromise. CONCLUSION: CT study is a method of choice in diagnosing inflammatory diseases of the sinuses. The technique we suggest in the study provides maximal diagnostic information at reduced cost and radiation exposure of the patient.

RESUMEN

Sarcoidosis still remains a diagnosis of exclusion. It is unusual for the disease to be localised in the nose and sinuses and to manifest its symptoms in this site; the diagnosis in such cases is rather a difficult task. There is no symptom pathognomonic of the disease. A major role in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis is played by histologic evidence on the basis of which additional tests can be used. We present a case of primary sarcoidosis of the nose and sinuses which involved the orbit and had non-specific symptoms in the sinonasal region. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis was made ultimately only after decalcification of sample material taken from the ethmoidal labyrinth. Interspersed among the bone trabeculae there were the typical epithelioid cellular granulomas composed of epithelioid cells with round nuclei and prominent nucleoli, Langhans'-type giant cells, and a tender rim of chronic inflammatory infiltrate in the periphery. After initial beneficial response to the administered cortisone therapy (40 mg prednisolone daily for 6 months and then a daily maintenance dose of 10 mg) the control examination showed that the peri- and retrobulbar infiltrate persisted and the eye symptoms recurred. We therefore increased the dose and proceeded to a pulse therapy (120 mg of urbason daily and a daily maintenance dose of 30 mg). At present the patient is still receiving this therapy which has reduced as a result the local manifestations but Cushing's syndrome has developed as a side effect.
