Eur Ann Otorhinolaryngol Head Neck Dis 2021; 138 Suppl 4:135-136. [PMID: 34246589 DOI: 10.1016/j.anorl.2021.06.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2021] [Revised: 05/23/2021] [Accepted: 06/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak and encephalocele from the middle cranial fossa into the sphenoid sinus lateral recess (SSLR) is a rare condition. It is often associated with obesity, female sex, well-pneumatized sinus, and prolonged intracranial hypertension. Endoscopic repair has emerged as the mainstay treatment with a success rate increasing to over 90% by refining reconstruction methods and controlling intracranial pressure. Here, we describe how a female with SSLR CSF leak and encephalocele successfully managed with endoscopic transpterygoid approach and multilayered repair. The defect was closed using four indifferent tissues, including the duragen patch, sinus mucosal flaps, the middle turbinate bone, and free mucosa flap, from the inside out. The patient had an uneventful postsurgical course and remained disease-free during the 9-month follow-up. To conclude, the technique of using sinus mucosal flaps in the context of multilayered reconstruction might be a useful method to repair CSF leak.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To observe skeletal width changes after mini-implant-assisted rapid maxillary expansion (MARME) and determine the possible factors that may affect the postexpansion changes using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in young adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-one patients (mean age 22.14 ± 4.76 years) who were treated with MARME over 1 year were enrolled. Four mini-implants were inserted in the midpalatal region, and the number of activations ranged from 40 to 60 turns (0.13 per turn). CBCT was performed before MARME (T0), after activation (T1), and after 1 year of retention (T2). The mean period between T1 and T0 was 6 ± 1.9 months and between T2 and T1 was 13 ± 2.18 months. A paired t-test was performed to compare T0, T1, and T2. The correlations between the postexpansion changes and possible contributing factors were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. RESULTS The widths increased significantly after T1. After T2, the palatal suture width decreased from 2.50 mm to 0.75 mm. From T1 to T2, decreases recorded among skeletal variables varied from 0.13 mm to 0.41 mm. This decrease accounted for 5.75% of the total expansion (2.26 mm) in nasal width (N-N) and 19.75% at the lateral pterygoid plate. A significant correlation was found between postexpansion change and palatal cortical bone thickness and inclination of the palatal plane (ANS-PNS/SN; P < .05). CONCLUSIONS Expanded skeletal width was generally stable after MARME. However, some amount of relapse occurred over time. Patients with thicker cortical bone of the palate and/or flatter palatal planes seemed to demonstrate better stability.

Abstract
Background: Cleft lip and palate (CLP) can affect the development of the maxilla; which may create a midfacial deficiency as well as an interference of the facial growth pattern and dentofacial esthetics. Objective: This study aimed to estimate the chronological age of complete fusion of the spheno-occipital synchondrosis (SOS) in cleft lip and palate patients and a control group; using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Methods: In this retrospective study; 125 patients were enrolled (cleft lip and palate group (n = 91); control group (n = 34)). Age comparison was made with a chi-square test; and a Kaplan–Meier analysis determined the median time to reach complete fusion of the spheno-occipital synchondrosis (p < 0.05). Results: The experimental group showed statistically significant differences in the median time for complete ossification between males and females (p = 0.019). The median time for complete ossification of the spheno-occipital synchondrosis was; for males; 15.0 years in both groups; for females; it was 14.0 years and 13.0 years in the experimental group and in the control group; respectively. Both for males and females; there were no statistically significant differences between experimental and control groups (p = 0.104). Conclusions: The present study showed no differences in the ossification of the spheno-occipital synchondrosis between individuals with and without cleft lip and/or palate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Detailed arterial anatomy of the sphenoid ridge and olfactory groove meningiomas is complicated due to the fine angioarchitecture and anastomoses between each feeder. Herein, we present details of the arterial anatomy and the relationships of feeders in these lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included 20 patients admitted to our department between April 2015 and March 2020. Conditions of subjects consisted of 16 sphenoid ridge meningiomas and 4 olfactory groove meningiomas. We mainly analyzed arterial anatomy using 3D rotational angiography and slab MIP images of these lesions. We also analyzed the anastomoses of each feeder. RESULTS We found that 19 (95%), 15 (75%), and 15 (75%) lesions had feeders from the ophthalmic, internal carotid, and external carotid arteries, respectively. As feeders from the ophthalmic artery, recurrent meningeal arteries were involved in 18 lesions (90%). Fifteen lesions (75%) had anastomoses between each feeder. CONCLUSIONS Most of the meningiomas in the sphenoid ridge and olfactory groove had feeders from the ophthalmic and internal carotid arteries. There were various anastomoses between each feeder. This is the first report to demonstrate the detailed arterial anatomy and frequency of recurrent branches from the ophthalmic artery and their anastomoses using detailed imaging techniques.

Abstract
PURPOSE Endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery (ETSS) is a well-established treatment for patients with nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs). Data on the rates of pituitary dysfunction and recovery in a large cohort of NFPA patients undergoing ETSS and the predictors of endocrine function before and after ETSS are scarce. This study is purposed to analyze the comprehensive changes in hormonal function and identify factors that predict recovery or worsening of hormonal axes following ETSS for NFPA. METHODS A retrospective review of 601 consecutive patients who underwent ETSS between 2010 and 2018 at one institution was performed. Recovery or development of new hypopituitarism was analyzed in 209 NFPA patients who underwent ETSS. RESULTS Patients with preoperative endocrine deficits (59.8%) in one or more pituitary axes had larger tumor volumes (P = 0.001) than those without preoperative deficits. Recovery of preoperative pituitary deficit occurred in all four axes, with overall mean recovery of 29.7%. The cortisol axis showed the highest recovery whereas the thyroid axis showed the lowest, with 1-year cumulative recovery rates of 44.3% and 6.1%, respectively. Postoperative hypopituitarism occurred overall in 17.2%, most frequently in the thyroid axis (24.3%, 27/111) and least frequently in the cortisol axis (9.7%, 16/165). Axis-specific predictors of post-operative recovery and deficiency were identified. CONCLUSIONS Dynamic alterations in pituitary hormones were observed in a proportion of patients following ETSS in NFPA patients. Postoperative endocrine vulnerability, recovery, and factors that predicted recovery or loss of endocrine function depended on the hormonal system, necessitating an axis-specific surveillance strategy postoperatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pituitary adenomas are the most common lesion of the sellar region. Very few cases in the literature have described their association with craniopharyngiomas in the same anatomic compartment, an entity defined as collision tumors of the sella. CASE DESCRIPTION A 35-year-old man presented with headaches and progressive visual disturbances. Radiographic imaging initially highlighted the presence of a pituitary craniopharyngioma. An endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary approach was performed, during which the tumor was partially resected. The pathology report was positive for 2 entities: a nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma and a papillary craniopharyngioma. This was an unexpected diagnosis based on the surgical and initial radiologic findings. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of a collision tumor of the sella comprising a pituitary adenoma and a craniopharyngioma of the papillary type.

Abstract
In this review about extraoral anatomy as depicted by cone beam computed tomography, the retromaxillary region is discussed. A medium-sized (6 x 6 cm) or large (≥ 8 x 8 cm) field of view of the maxilla will inevitably depict the retromaxillary region that can be considered a «transition» zone between the viscerocranium and the neurocranium. Major structures of the region include the sphenoid bone and the pterygopalatine fossae. The sphenoid bone is a single but complex bone located between the maxilla and the brain. It is composed of a central body, bilateral greater and lesser wings, and pterygoid processes. Important neurovascular structures pass through the sphenoid bone: the optic nerve and the ophthalmic artery via the optic canal, the maxillary nerve via the foramen rotundum, and the pterygoid nerve via the Vidian canal. The central body of the sphenoid bone also contains the highly variable sphenoid sinus that is the most posteriorly located paranasal sinus. The bilateral pterygopalatine fossae behind the maxillary sinuses contain several important neurovascular structures that supply the maxilla and the midface.

Abstract
Certain patients with facial deformities require superior repositioning of the maxilla via Le Fort I osteotomy; however, the magnitude of superior repositioning of the maxilla is often less than expected. In this study, the correlation between the accuracy of superior repositioning of the maxilla and the anatomical form of the maxillary posterior region was examined. Seventy-five patients who underwent Le Fort I osteotomy without forward movement of the maxilla but with superior repositioning of the maxilla were included in this study. The bone volume around the descending palatine artery (DPA), the angle of the junction between the pterygoid process and the tuberosity, and the distance between the upper second molar and the pterygoid process were measured via three-dimensional analysis. A significant negative correlation (r=-0.566) was found between the bone volume around the DPA and the ratio of repositioning (actual movement divided by expected movement). It is possible that the superior repositioning of the maxilla expected prior to surgery was not sufficiently attained because of the large volume of bone around the DPA. The results of this study show that in some patients, superior repositioning was not achieved at the expected level because of bone interference attributable to the anatomical form of the maxillary posterior region.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A major cause of readmission after transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) is delayed hyponatraemia. The purpose of this study was to identify predictors of hyponatraemia one week post surgery and predictors of 30-day readmissions for hyponatraemia. DESIGN A retrospective cohort study including patients who had TSS performed for pituitary lesions. METHOD The risk of readmission for hyponatraemia was assessed in consecutive patients between January 2008 and March 2016. The risk of hyponatraemia one week post surgery was assessed in patients admitted for TSS between July 2011 and March 2016. RESULTS Of all included patients, 56/522 (10.7%) were readmitted within 30 days. Hyponatraemia was found in 14/56 (25%) of 30-day readmissions. We did not identify any predictive variable for hyponatraemia on readmission. The number of patients with hyponatraemia on the seventh post-operative day was 26/314 (8.3%). The risk of hyponatraemia one week post surgery was increased by an odds ratio of 2.40 (95% CI: 1.06-5.40) in patients with a tumour abutting the optic chiasm and by an odds ratio of 1.16 (1.04-1.31) per mmol/L decrease in sodium levels on the first post-operative day. CONCLUSIONS Hyponatraemia occurred in 25% of readmissions; however, we did not identify any predictive variable for readmission with hyponatraemia. One week post surgery, 8.9% had hyponatraemia. Tumours pressing on the optic chiasm as well as a fall in sodium levels on the first post-operative day were associated with an increased risk of hyponatraemia one week post surgery. We suggest that a day 7 serum sodium <130 nmol/L should lead to concern and the provision of patient advice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Over the past 2 decades, endoscopy has become an integral part of the surgical repertoire for skull base procedures. The present clinical evaluation and cadaver study compare binostril and mononostril endoscopic transnasal approaches and the surgical techniques involved. METHODS Forty patients with pituitary adenomas were treated with either binostril or mononostril endoscopic surgery. Neurosurgical, endocrinological, ophthalmological, and neuroradiological examinations were performed. Ten cadaver specimens were prepared, and surgical aspects of the preparation and neuroradiological examination were documented. RESULTS In the clinical evaluation, 0° optics were optimal in the nasal and sphenoidal phase of surgery for both techniques. For detection of tumor remnants, 30° optics were superior. The binostril approach was significantly more time consuming than the mononostril technique. The nasal retractor limited maneuverability of instruments during mononostril approaches in 5 of 20 patients. Endocrinological pituitary function, control of excessive hormone secretion, ophthalmological outcome, residual tumor, and rates of adverse events, such as CSF leaks and diabetes insipidus, were similar in both groups. In the cadaver study, there was no significant difference in the time required for dissection via the binostril or mononostril technique. The panoramic view was superior in the binostril group; this was due to the possibility of wider opening of the sella in the craniocaudal and horizontal directions, but the need for removal of more of the nasal septum was disadvantageous. CONCLUSIONS Because of maneuverability of instruments and a wider view in the sphenoid sinus, the binostril technique is superior for resection of large tumors with parasellar and suprasellar expansion and tumors requiring extended approaches. The mononostril technique is preferable for tumors with limited extension in the intra- and suprasellar area.

Abstract
PURPOSE Transsphenoidal pituitary surgery can be carried out with either an operating microscope or with an endoscope, but the relative frequency of both techniques is unknown. METHODS All microscopic and endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgeries were extracted from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Part B data files between the years 2003 and 2013. National and state-level trends were compared over time. RESULTS Endoscopic surgery significantly increased and microscopic surgery significantly decreased over the years 2003-2013. Thirty-eight of 48 states increased their use of endoscopic surgery, while 38 of 48 states decreased their use of microscopic surgery. CONCLUSIONS Nationwide data show a clear trend for an increasing use of endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery at the expense of microscopic surgery. The underlying causes of these trends are unknown, but clearly deserve further investigation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Maximum two-dimensional (2D) diameter has been used to define giant pituitary adenoma (GPA) surgery outcomes as has volume using an ellipsoid approximation of volumetrics. Cross sectional length can be measured in several different planes. We sought to compare the accuracy of different 2D cross sectional measurements with the 3D volumetric measurements for predicting GPA surgery outcomes. METHODS Retrospective analysis was performed on a prospectively collected database. Tumors with >3 cm diameter were identified and classified based on maximal cross sectional measurements in three separate co-axial planes, i.e. transverse (TV), antero-posterior (AP) and cranio-caudal (CC). Volume was calculated using both MRI-guided volumetrics and an ellipsoid approximation (TV × AP × CC/2). Univariate and multivariate analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between cross sectional and volumetric data and extent of resection (EOR). RESULTS In 62 subjects, median tumor volume using 3D volumetrics was 13.74 cm(3), which was overestimated by 16 % by the ellipsoid calculation (p = 0.0029), particularly for tumors >20 cm(3). Gross total resection (GTR) was 46.7 % and median EOR was 99.57 %. At 22-month follow-up, visual and anterior pituitary functions were stable (90 %) or improved (87 %). Pre-operative tumor volume >10 cm(3) (p = 0.02) and Knosp grade 3-4 (p = 0.04) were independent predictors of EOR. Knosp grade 3-4 (p < 0.0001), TV measurement >4 cm (p = 0.007) and maximum cross sectional length >4 cm (p = 0.04) were predictors of not achieving GTR. Only TV measurement (p = 0.02) predicted permanent diabetes insipidis. The smallest significant thresholds for predicting decreased GTR were TV measurement >25 mm, AP measurement >35 mm and volume >19 cm(3). CONCLUSION We propose a new volumetric threshold of 20 cm(3) as most accurate for predicting GTR in the EEA era. CC measurement is the least useful predictor. Cavernous sinus invasion remains the best predictor of incomplete resection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This article describes a surgical approach that has been applied to managing primary tumors in the pterygopalatine fossa and secondary tumors involving the pterygopalatine fossa. PATIENTS AND METHODS The Barbosa approach was modified by adding a lateral incision in the mandibular gingivobuccal fold from the canine tooth to the retromolar area. This technique was applied to nine patients with primary and secondary tumors in the pterygopalatine fossa. All patients had been observed by clinical examinations, MRI, and CT examinations. RESULTS: This technique allowed a large, inferiorly based flap to be raised, which includes the parotid gland. The masseter and temporalis muscles were divided horizontally, and the ascending ramus of the mandible was osteotomied between the mandibular angle and the sigmoid notch and reflected to expose the tumor in the pterygopalatine fossa and maxillary sinus. We have applied this technique in 9 patients. Of the 9 patients in our study, 5 (55%) were male and 4 (45%) were female. The median age of the patients at the time of operation for primary and secondary tumors in the pterygopalatine fossa was 49.5 years (range, 19–66 years). Four of the 9 patients had primary tumors in the pterygopalatine fossa. One patient had a tumor in the pterygoaplatine fossa extending into the maxillary sinus, 2 patients had tumors occurring in the maxilla involving the pterygopalatine fossa, 2 patients had tumors from the deep lobe of the parotid gland to the pterygopalatine fossa, and 1 patient had extracranial meningioma. Nine patients have been followed up from 3 months to 9 years and 6 months, and 1 patient had recurrence 2 years and 2 months postoperatively. CONCLUSION: This technique is especially useful to tumors in the pterygopalatine fossa and tumors in the pterygopalatine fossa extending into the maxillary sinus.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the usefulness of virtual reality (VR) technique for individualized preoperative planning of sphenoidal ridge meningioma. METHODS Multiple imaging data of CTA/MR were acquired from 41 surgical patients with sphenoidal ridge meningioma during the period from July 2009 to June 2013 were transferred into the Dextroscope system. A suite of built-in 3D tools enabled users to obtain measurement and simulated intraoperative viewpoint about the lesion and adjacent anatomic structures. A sophisticated preoperative plan was defined.Operative duration, total resection rate, complication rate and KPS scores were compared with control group undergoing routine operation (n = 27). RESULTS 3D stereoscopic VR images in accordance with reality were reconstructed for 41 cases. As compared with control group,VR preoperative plan could shorten operative duration and reduce complication rate (P < 0.05). However, there was no improvement in total resection rate or KPS score (P > 0.50). CONCLUSION VR technique of Dextroscope system offers comprehensive information of sphenoidal ridge and related neurovascular anatomical structure. Thus it may aid surgical planning and facilitate individualized operation.

Abstract
Here, we describe a case with a transverse-sigmoid sinus(TSS)dural arteriovenous fistula(DAVF)with sinus occlusion at its proximal and distal ends;the TSS DAVF turned symptomatic after removal of a coexisting symptomatic sphenoid ridge meningioma. The patient was a 70-year-old man presenting with decreased daily activities and mentation due to dysphasia. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large, left sphenoid ridge meningioma. Angiography revealed a tumor stain and a coexisting left TSS DAVF with sinus occlusion at its proximal and distal ends. Cortical venous reflux(CVR)into the temporal veins was observed. After successful tumor removal, the superficial middle cerebral vein was arterialized intraoperatively. However, the patient showed worsened consciousness and dysphasia after the operation. Repeated angiography revealed CVR into the superficial middle cerebral vein through a sphenopetrosal sinus. Transvenous embolization was performed via the contralateral inferior petrosal and intercavernous sinus, which allowed access to the ipsilateral superior petrosal sinus(SPS);the procedure successfully eliminated CVR, while preserving the SPS. The patient demonstrated full recovery. This case exemplifies a coexisting TSS DAVF after tumor resection, and superficial middle cerebral vein decompression due to the sphenopetrosal sinus, an alternate drainage pathway for the superficial middle cerebral vein.

Abstract
We present a case of diffuse sphenoid bone cavernous hemangioma in a 22-year-old primigravid woman. Her disease first manifested clinically as progressively decreasing vision in her left eye during her third trimester of pregnancy. We also discuss the known causes and some theoretical causes of cavernous hemangioma enlargement during pregnancy.
