Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal neoplasms, whether benign and malignant, pose a significant challenge to clinicians and represent a model area for multidisciplinary collaboration in order to optimize patient care. The International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Sinonasal Tumors (ICSNT) aims to summarize the best available evidence and presents 48 thematic and histopathology-based topics spanning the field. METHODS In accordance with prior International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology documents, ICSNT assigned each topic as an Evidence-Based Review with Recommendations, Evidence-Based Review, and Literature Review based on the level of evidence. An international group of multidisciplinary author teams were assembled for the topic reviews using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses format, and completed sections underwent a thorough and iterative consensus-building process. The final document underwent rigorous synthesis and review prior to publication. RESULTS The ICSNT document consists of four major sections: general principles, benign neoplasms and lesions, malignant neoplasms, and quality of life and surveillance. It covers 48 conceptual and/or histopathology-based topics relevant to sinonasal neoplasms and masses. Topics with a high level of evidence provided specific recommendations, while other areas summarized the current state of evidence. A final section highlights research opportunities and future directions, contributing to advancing knowledge and community intervention. CONCLUSION As an embodiment of the multidisciplinary and collaborative model of care in sinonasal neoplasms and masses, ICSNT was designed as a comprehensive, international, and multidisciplinary collaborative endeavor. Its primary objective is to summarize the existing evidence in the field of sinonasal neoplasms and masses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A definitive diagnosis of eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (eCRS) requires invasive surgical tissue sampling and histologic enumeration of intact eosinophils. Eosinophil peroxidase (EPX) is an accurate biomarker of sinonasal tissue eosinophilia in CRS regardless of polyp status. A less invasive and rapid method that accurately identifies tissue eosinophilia would be of great benefit to patients. OBJECTIVE We sought to evaluate a new clinical tool that uses a nasal swab and colorimetric EPX activity assay to predict a diagnosis of eCRS. METHODS A prospective, observational cohort study was conducted using nasal swabs and sinonasal tissue biopsies obtained from patients with CRS electing endoscopic sinus surgery. Patients were classified as non-eCRS (n = 19) and eCRS (n = 35) on the basis of pathologically determined eosinophil counts of less than 10 or greater than or equal to 10 eosinophils/HPF, respectively. Swab-deposited EPX activity was measured and compared with tissue eosinophil counts, EPX levels, and CRS-specific disease metrics. RESULTS EPX activity was significantly increased in patients with eCRS than in patients without eCRS (P < .0001). With a relative absorbance unit cutoff value of greater than or equal to 0.80, the assay demonstrated high sensitivity (85.7%) and moderate specificity (79.0%) for confirming eCRS. Spearman correlations between EPX activity and tissue eosinophil counts (rs = 0.424), EPX levels (rs = 0.503), and Lund-Kennedy endoscopy scores (rs = 0.440) in eCRS were significant (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS This investigation evaluates a nasal swab sampling method and EPX activity assay that accurately confirms eCRS. This method could potentially address the unmet need to identify sinonasal tissue eosinophilia at the point-of-care, as well as to longitudinally monitor eosinophil activity and treatment response.

Abstract
Background: Comorbid chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) of adulthood is increasing among patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) due to improved median survival. However, little is known about the natural history of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in this cohort. The objective of this study was to evaluate the revision rate of ESS and associated risk factors among adults with CRS and CF (CRSwCF). Methods: The Utah Population Database was queried for patients age >18 with CRS who underwent at least one ESS between 1996 and 2018. Demographic information and ESS history were collected and compared for CRSwCF versus CRS without CF (CRSsCF) using chi-square and t-tests. Risk factors for revision were analyzed using Cox proportional hazard models and logistic regression analysis. Results: A total of 34 050 patients (33 639 CRSsCF and 411 CRSwCF) were included in the final analysis. The mean duration of follow-up was 9.3 and 9.3 years, respectively (P = .98). Adult patients with CF were significantly more likely to undergo revision ESS (18.7%) than those without CF (13.4%; P < .01). Logistic regression analysis indicated that a diagnosis of CF independently elevated the risk for revision ESS in the absence of nasal polyps (odds ratio [OR] 2.18, confidence interval [CI] 1.34-3.54), asthma (OR 1.36, CI 0.94-1.98), and allergies (OR 1.29, CI 0.90-1.73). Conclusion: In the era before highly effective modulator therapies, the mean revision rate of ESS among adults with CRSwCF was 18.7%, significantly greater than that of adults with CRSsCF. CF was an independent risk factor for revision ESS in the absence of nasal polyps, asthma, and allergies.

Abstract
Purpose Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is predominantly characterized by eosinophil- and T helper 2 cell (Th2)-biased inflammation. Integrins and intercellular adhesion molecules (ICAMs) are superfamilies of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) that facilitate the recruitment and trafficking of immune cells and have been implicated in coordinating eosinophil and Th2 cell adhesion and signaling in asthma. The roles of CAMs in CRSwNP, however, remain poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to characterize the systemic and local expression of CAMs and identify which CAMs are potentially involved in CRSwNP pathology. Materials and Methods A prospective observational study was conducted using peripheral blood and anterior ethmoid tissues of patients with CRSwNP (n=32) and controls (n=15). Multiplex gene analysis and Pearson correlations were performed to identify associations between systemically and locally expressed CAMs. Based on the gene expression results, immunohistochemical evaluation and quantification of cells expressing integrins ITGAM, ITGAX, and ITGB2, as well as ICAM-3 in sinonasal tissues were conducted to compare local protein expression patterns. Results Integrin and ICAM genes were significantly elevated in the blood (p<0.001 to p<0.05) and sinuses (p<0.0003 to p<0.05) of patients with CRSwNP compared to controls. Strong positive correlations of genes expressed in the blood (p<0.01 to p<0.05) and sinuses (p<0.01) were observed between ITGAM, ITGAX, ITGB2, and ICAM3. ITGAM-, ITGB2-, ICAM-3-, and ICAM-3/ITGB2-positive cell counts were significantly increased in CRSwNP compared to controls (p<0.0001 to p<0.04), and a positive correlation between ICAM-3/ITGB2- and ITGAM-positive cell counts was observed (p<0.02). Conclusion The systemic and local expression of ITGAM, ITGB2, and ICAM-3 is significantly upregulated in CRSwNP, suggesting that integrin complex ITGAM/ITGB2 and ICAM-3 serve a potential role in inflammation-mediated signaling in CRSwNP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Medical comorbidities are commonly encountered in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and may impact both physical function and patient reported health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL). The functional comorbidity index (FCI) is designed to elucidate the role of comorbidities on functional prognosis. The objective of this study was to understand the impact of comorbidities known to impact physical function on baseline HRQOL using the FCI.Methodology: Patients meeting diagnostic criteria for CRS were prospectively enrolled in a cross-sectional study. Responses from the Sinonasal Outcomes Test-22 (SNOT-22), a measure of patient HRQOL, as well as the Lund-Kennedy and Lund-Mackay scores were recorded at enrollment. FCI was calculated retrospectively using the electronic medical record. Information was collected and compared for patients without (CRSsNP) and with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) using chi-square and t-tests. Spearman's correlations, followed by multivariate regression analysis, were used to assess the association between FCI and SNOT-22 scores. RESULTS One hundred and three patients met inclusion criteria for analysis. There were no significant differences in age, gender, and SNOT-22 scores between patients with CRSsNP and those with CRSwNP. FCI was significantly and independently associated with worse SNOT-22 scores (P = .012). FCI did not correlate with endoscopy and computed tomography scores. The mean FCI for patients with CRSsNP and CRSwNP was 2.02 and 2.24, respectively, and did not differ significantly between the two cohorts (P = .565). CONCLUSIONS Major medical comorbidities known to affect physical function are associated with worse SNOT-22 scores in patients with CRS as measured by the FCI.

Abstract
Background Data regarding the inflammatory profile of patients with asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS-A) with (CRSwNP-A) and without (CRSsNP-A) nasal polyposis remain limited. Objective Define and compare systemic transcriptional changes in patients with CRS-A to those with non-asthma-related CRS with (CRSwNP) and without nasal polyposis (CRSsNP). Methods Thirty-four patients with CRS-A (n=19) and CRS (n=15) were prospectively enrolled into an observational study. Demographic information and subjective and objective disease severity measures were recorded. Multiplex gene expression analysis of mRNA extracted from peripheral blood was performed. A total of 594 genes associated with innate/adaptive immunity were analyzed using NanoString technology. Gene expression ratios were reported for genes that were differentially expressed among these cohorts. Linear regression analysis was used to compare the mRNA transcript copy numbers for each gene with disease severity. Results There was no significant difference in age, gender, nasal polyposis, or health-related quality of life measures between the two groups (p>0.05). HLA class II histocompatibility antigen, DRB3-1 beta chain (HLA-DRB3) was significantly upregulated in the peripheral blood of patients with CRSsNP-A compared to CRSsNP, whereas chemokine (C-C motif) ligands 4 (CCL4) and zinc finger protein helios (IKZF2) were significantly upregulated in CRSwNP-A compared to CRSwNP (p<0.05). Conclusion Patients with CRSsNP-A demonstrate a molecular endotype associated with a Th2-dominant inflammatory profile compared to CRSsNP. Patients with CRSwNP-A similarly demonstrate an overrepresentation of genes associated with Th2-driven inflammation compared to patients with CRSwNP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is known to have a significant impact on economic productivity. Sleep dysfunction is associated with staggering productivity losses and is highly prevalent in patients with CRS. The effect of sleep dysfunction on productivity in CRS has not been elucidated. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between sleep dysfunction and lost productivity in patients with CRS. METHODS Eighty-two adult patients with CRS were prospectively enrolled into a cross-sectional cohort study. Patients with obstructive sleep apnea were excluded. Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Presenteeism (reduced work efficiency), absenteeism (missed work days), and lost work, household, and overall productivity were analyzed. The primary aim was assessing the correlation between PSQI and productivity. Regression analyses were performed to account for disease severity, pain, and depression. RESULTS Sleep dysfunction is significantly correlated with overall lost productivity (R2 = 0.397, P < .05). Presenteeism is the most strongly affected by sleep dysfunction (R2 = -0.441, P < .001). Higher PSQI scores were significantly associated with productivity losses, whereas lower scores were not. Sleep remained an independent predictor of productivity when regression analysis accounted for disease severity, depression, and pain. CONCLUSION Sleep dysfunction has a significant association with lost productivity in patients with CRS, particularly with worsening PSQI scores. More clearly defining those components of CRS that most impact a patient's daily function will allow clinicians to more optimally manage and counsel patients with CRS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The SNOT-22 is a validated and widely used outcomes tool in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). We hypothesized that SNOT-22 scores and response patterns could be used as a diagnostic tool to differentiate between patients with CRS and those who present with CRS-like symptoms but prove not to have CRS. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL SNOT-22 measurements were collected from 311 patients who presented with a chief complaint of sinusitis to a tertiary rhinology practice. Following a full diagnostic evaluation, patients were diagnosed with CRS or determined to have non-CRS diagnoses. A response pattern "heatmap" of the SNOT-22 scores for each group was compared. An optimal cutoff point for total SNOT-22 score in predicting CRS was sought using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. RESULTS A total of 109 patients were diagnosed with CRS and 202 patients were assigned to non-CRS. The non-CRS SNOT-22 total score histogram had lower overall scores compared to the CRS group, although there was substantial overlap. The CRS SNOT-22 heatmaps had a distinctive pattern compared to the non-CRS group. As individual measures, 3 of the 4 cardinal symptoms of CRS (nasal congestion, loss of smell, and rhinorrhea) were found to be significantly different between the 2 groups (P < .002). However, the ROC analysis showed the total SNOT-22 score to be a poor instrument to differentiate CRS from non-CRS patients. CONCLUSIONS Our results cause us to reject our hypothesis and conclude that, while an effective outcomes tool, the SNOT-22 (using total score and response pattern) is a poor differentiator between CRS and non-CRS patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis with asthma (CRS-A) has a significant impact on patient morbidity and quality of life. Nevertheless, little is known about the natural history of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in this cohort. The objective of this study was to evaluate revision rates of ESS in CRS-A and identify risk factors associated with increased likelihood for revision surgery compared to those with CRS without asthma (CRS-alone). METHODS The Utah Population Database was queried for patients age >18 years with CRS who underwent at least 1 ESS between 1996 and 2018. Demographic information and history of ESS were collected and compared between CRS-A and CRS-alone using chi-square tests for categorical variables and t tests for continuous variables. Risk factors for revision surgery were analyzed using Cox proportional hazard models. RESULTS A total of 33,090 patients (7693 CRS-A and 25,397 CRS-alone) were included in the final analysis. Mean follow up was 9.8 years in CRS-A and 9.1 years in CRS-alone (p < 0.001). The revision rate among patients with CRS-A (21.5%) was twice that of CRS-alone (10.8%) (p < 0.001). Among patients with CRS, a history of allergy (p < 0.001), asthma (p < 0.001), and nasal polyposis (p < 0.001) was independently associated with increased risk of revision ESS. Patients with CRS-A and nasal polyposis were 6 times more likely to require revision surgery than those with CRS-alone (p < 0.010). CONCLUSION The rate of revision ESS in CRS-A was twice that of CRS-alone; patients with CRS-A and nasal polyposis were 6 times more likely to require revision than those with CRS-alone. ©2021 ARSAAOA, LLC.

Abstract
Anterior skull base approaches have included endoscopic or open microsurgical approaches for intracranial pathologies. However, discussion of a combined hybrid, cranioendoscopic approach, leveraging the benefits of both techniques, has been limited. Here we describe a case of a combined endoscopic, endonasal, and open microsurgical frontotemporal approach for resection of a complex anterior skull base lesion. A 62-year-old man with a large meningioma extending intradurally through the cribiform plate and sphenoethmoidal sinuses underwent a cranioendoscopic resection. Surgical techniques, including repair of the anterior skull base defect as well as complication avoidance and the coordination of multiple surgeons, are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonattendance to clinical appointments is a global problem appreciated by clinicians with an ambulatory presence. There are few reports of nonattendance in otolaryngology clinics, and no reports on nonattendance for a single otolaryngology subspecialty. OBJECTIVE To describe the no-show population in rhinology clinics. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed involving rhinology clinics from 2 academic medical centers in the United States. All patients who either attended their clinic appointment(s) or did not attend without previously cancelling from June 2016 to May 2017 were included. Data collected included patient demographics, appointment status, season and time of visit, insurance status, type of visit (new vs established), and provider seen. RESULTS There were 2791 clinical appointments evaluated over a 12-month period at 2 rhinology clinics involving 4 fellowship-trained rhinologists. Ninety-two percent of patients kept their appointments, while 8% did not. Sex, season of visit, time of visit (am vs pm), type of visit, provider sex, provider location, or provider's experience (<10 years vs ≥10 years) were not associated with patient's attendance status. Univariate analysis showed that patient's age ≤50 ( P = .001) and primary insurance type ( P < .001) were associated with nonattendance. Medicaid as the primary insurance type was associated with clinic nonattendance. Multivariable analysis showed that age ≤ 50 years, odds ratio (OR) 1.62 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.14-2.30), P = .007, and primary insurance type (Medicaid: OR 3.75 [95% CI 2.58-5.45], P < .001) remained significant predictors of nonattendance. CONCLUSION Patients younger than 50 years and patients with Medicaid as the primary insurance types are associated with risk of missing rhinology clinic appointments. As a subspecialty, delivery of timely care and clinical efficiency could be improved by interventions directed toward improving attendance among this population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The anti-inflammatory effects of long term low dose macrolide therapy have shown benefit in the management of diffuse panbronchiolitis. Dramatic responses to macrolide in the upper airway are seen but our understanding of the patient phenotype predisposing to macrolide response in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is poor. METHODS A case control study was performed in a tertiary level rhinology practice of consecutive chronic rhinosinusitis patients placed on a 3-month low dose macrolide therapy after failing at least 3 months of corticosteroid irrigation therapy post-endoscopic sinus surgery. Patients were defined as a macrolide responder when having near normal endoscopy after a 3-month period of clarithromycin treatment. Patient characteristics of smoking, asthma, atopy status, revision surgery, symptom severity (SNOT-22) along with biomarkers from serum and tissue histopathology results were compared between groups. RESULTS Of twenty-eight consecutive macrolide treated patients, 19 responders were compared to 9 non-responders. The groups were similar in age, female gender, non-smoking, asthma, and atopy. Macrolide response was associated with a lack of tissue eosinophilia (more than 10/HPF) and lower serum eosinophilia. Neutrophil expression was similar in tissue and serum. Squamous metaplasia was overexpressed in non-responders. CONCLUSION Low tissue and serum eosinophilia, and absence of tissue squamous metaplasia may predict a CRS phenotype suitable to a trial of long-term macrolide therapy when surgery and topical therapy has failed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) has been proposed as a method to reduce blood loss during endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). Impaired sinonasal visualization due to mucosal bleeding may be burdensome in cases of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with high-grade inflammatory disease, suggesting a role for TIVA in that disease subgroup. METHODS A double-blind, randomized controlled trial was conducted of adults undergoing ESS at a tertiary medical center. Patients considered for inclusion had high-grade CRS defined as either sinonasal polyposis or a preoperative Lund-Mackay score of ≥12. Subjects were randomized to receive either TIVA or inhaled anesthesia (IA) during ESS. The primary outcome measure was intraoperative visibility as rated by 3 blinded reviewers utilizing the 10-point Wormald Surgical Field Grading Scale. Secondary outcomes included operative blood loss, complications, and change in quality of life evaluated by the 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22). RESULTS A total of 72 patients were randomized into TIVA (n = 37) and IA (n = 35) study arms. Aggregate median (interquartile range) Wormald scores across all reviewers demonstrated a more favorable visual field with TIVA compared to IA (3.5 [2.4-3.9] vs IA 4.1[3.0-5.8], p = 0.0089). There was significantly less blood loss in the TIVA group compared to the IA group (200 mL [100-450] vs 300 mL [200-500], p = 0.046). Baseline patient characteristics were comparable between cohorts with no significant postoperative complications. No significant changes were detected between postoperative SNOT-22 scores at 3 months (p = 0.278) and at 6 months (p = 0.396) following ESS. CONCLUSION TIVA contributes to improved intraoperative visualization and decreased blood loss in patients undergoing ESS for high-grade inflammatory sinus disease.

Abstract
Introduction Identifying the internal carotid artery (ICA) when managing petroclival and infratemporal fossa pathology is essential for the skull base surgeon. The vidian nerve and eustachian tube (ET) cartilage come together at the foramen lacerum, the vidian-eustachian junction (VEJ). The ICA position, relative to the VEJ is described. Methods Endoscopic dissection of adult fresh-frozen cadaver ICAs and a case series of patients with petroclival pathology were performed. The relationship of the VEJ to the ICA horizontal segment, vertical segment, and second genu was assessed. The distance of the ICA second genu to VEJ was determined in coronal, axial, and sagittal planes. The length of the vidian nerve and ET was measured from the pterygopalatine fossa (PPF) and nasopharyngeal orifice to the VEJ. Results In this study, 10 cadaver dissections (82.3 ± 6.7 years, 40% female) were performed. The horizontal petrous ICA was at or behind VEJ in 100%, above VEJ in 100%, and lateral to VEJ in 80%. The vertical paraclival segment was at or behind VEJ in 100%, above in 100%, and medial in 100%. The second genu was at or behind VEJ in 100% (3.3 ± 2.4 mm), at or above in 100% (2.5 ± 1.6 mm), and medial in 100% (3.4 ± 2.0 mm). The VEJ was successfully used to locate the ICA in nine consecutive patients (53.3 ± 13.6 years, 55.6% female) where pathology was also present. The VEJ was 15.0 ± 6.0 mm from the ET and 17.4 ± 4.1 mm from the PPF. Conclusion The VEJ is an excellent landmark as it defines both superior and posterior limits when isolating the ICA in skull base surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) has a multifactorial etiology, with a debate about the role of inhalant allergy in the pathogenesis of CRS. OBJECTIVE This study assessed the impact of allergy status on externalized paranasal sinuses after tumor resection to determine if a predisposition to inhalant allergy brought about additional inflammation after sinus surgery. METHODOLOGY A case-control study was performed on patients who had no history of CRS who underwent paranasal sinus tumor resection. Allergic sensitization was defined by a positive serum ImmunoCAP test result. Outcomes were measured at least 6 months after surgery by using the modified Lund-MacKay endoscopic score and the 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome test, with rhinitis, sleep, psychological, ear and/or facial, and sinus subscores to assess the impact of allergy status on mucosal inflammation. RESULTS A total of 103 patients (53.44 ± 17.46 years; 46% women) were assessed. Of these, 61.17% were allergically sensitized at the time of surgery. Postsurgery endoscopic assessment was similar [the modified Lund-Mackay endoscopic score allergic sensitized 0.5 (1.7) versus nonallergic sensitized 0.0 (0.9); p = 0.15]. Sinonasal symptoms were also similar between the groups' 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome test scores, allergic sensitized versus allergic nonsensitized, (allergic 28.9 ± 20.8 versus nonallergic 33.5 ± 19.7; p = 0.31), rhinitis score (5.9 ± 5.5 versus 6.4 ± 4.7; p = 0.66), sleep score (6.9 ± 5.9 versus 7.7 ± 4.8; p = 0.50), ear and/or facial symptom score (3.4 ± 3.6 versus 4.3 ± 3.3; p = 0.22), psychological score (6.9 ± 6.0 versus 8.3 ± 6.7; p = 0.29), and of nasal symptom score (6.4 ± 5.2 versus 7.0 ± 5.3; p = 0.61). CONCLUSIONS Externalization of the sinuses in patients with inhalant allergy did not bring about significant additional inflammation in patients after tumor surgery.

Abstract
The frontal sinus can present a challenging surgical dissection for the endoscopic surgeon. Image guidance as a surgical adjunct has become widely accepted for surgeries in this area. It can help verify vital structures and manage disorienting surgical conditions, improving surgeon confidence in performing safer and more complete surgery. It is relied upon heavily for placement of limited external frontal sinusotomies for disease beyond the endoscopic reach, and for mapping the frontal sinus for osteoplastic flap bony cuts. Its use has contributed to the expanding role of endoscopic surgical approaches for paranasal sinus inflammatory and neoplastic disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Management strategies employed for cases of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea vary widely because of limited evidence-based guidance. METHODS A systematic review of the literature was performed using PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases from January 1990 through September 2014 to examine 5 endoscopic repair techniques and 8 perioperative management strategies for CSF rhinorrhea. Benefit-harm assessments, value judgments, and recommendations were made based on the available evidence. Study exclusion criteria were language other than English, pre-1990 studies, case reports, and nonrhinologic leak. All authors agreed on recommendations through an iterative process. RESULTS We reviewed 67 studies examining 13 practices pertinent to the management of CSF rhinorrhea, reaching a highest aggregate grade of evidence of B. The literature does not support the routine use of prophylactic antibiotics or lumbar drainage. Various endoscopic repair materials show similar success rates; however, larger defects may benefit from vascularized grafts. There were no relevant studies to address postoperative activity restrictions. CONCLUSION Despite relatively low levels of evidence, recommendations for the management of CSF rhinorrhea can be made based on the current literature. Higher-level studies are needed to better determine optimal clinical management approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diagnostic strategies employed for cases of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea vary widely due to limited evidence-based guidance. METHODS A systematic review of the literature was performed using PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases from January 1990 through September 2014, to examine 9 diagnostic and localization modalities for CSF rhinorrhea. Benefit-harm assessments, value judgments and recommendations were made based on the available evidence. Study exclusion criteria were language other than English, pre-1990 studies, case reports, and nonrhinologic leak. All authors agreed on recommendations through an iterative process. RESULTS We reviewed 68 studies examining 9 practices pertinent to the diagnosis of CSF rhinorrhea, with a highest aggregate grade of evidence of C. The literature does not support the use of the ring sign, glucose testing, radionuclide cisternography (RNC), or computed tomography cisternography (CTC) for identification of CSF leak. Beta-2 transferrin is the most reliable confirmatory test for CSF leak. High-resolution CT (HRCT) is then recommended as the first-line study for localization. Magnetic resonance cisternography (MRC) should be used for CSF leak identification as a second line for each of these if beta-2 transferrin is not available or if HRCT is ambiguous. Intrathecal fluorescein (IF) may also be of benefit in certain clinical scenarios. CONCLUSION Despite relatively low levels of evidence, recommendations for the diagnosis and management of CSF rhinorrhea can be made based on the current literature. Higher-level studies are needed to better determine optimal diagnostic and clinical management approaches.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To determine the risk of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in relatives of children with a diagnosis of CRS. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective observational cohort study with population-based matched controls. METHODS A unique genealogical database linked to medical records was used to identify subjects ≤12 years old with a diagnosis of CRS from 1996 to 2011. The familial recurrence risks of CRS in first- through fifth-degree relatives of probands were calculated using Cox models and compared to controls randomly selected from the Utah population and matched 10:1 on sex and birth year. RESULTS We identified 496 pediatric patients with CRS. Siblings of patients with CRS demonstrated a 57.5-fold increased risk (P < 10(-8) ) of also having pediatric CRS. First cousins had a 9.0-fold increased risk (P < 10(-3) ) and second cousins had a 2.9-fold increased risk (P = .002) of pediatric CRS. First-degree relatives, second-degree relatives, and first cousins of pediatric cases demonstrated a significant increased risk of having adult CRS. Parents of probands demonstrated a 5.6-fold increased risk (P < 10(-15) ). Fifty-five probands had one affected parent versus three probands with two affected parents. CONCLUSIONS In the largest population study to date of children with CRS, a significant familial risk is confirmed. Parents of probands were also at increased risk, although it was much more likely for one parent to be affected than both, suggesting a genetic component of the disease. Further understanding of the genetic basis of CRS and its interplay with environmental factors could clarify the etiology and lead to more effective targeted treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a highly prevalent inflammatory condition, with significant effects on morbidity and quality of life, yet little is known about its pathogenesis. Preliminary evidence suggests there is a heritable component to the multifactorial etiology of CRS; however, our understanding of this genetic susceptibility is limited. METHODS Using an extensive genealogical database linked to medical records, the risk of CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and without polyps (CRSsNP) was calculated for relatives and spouses of adult probands (1638 CRSwNP and 24,200 CRSsNP patients diagnosed between 1996 and 2011) and were compared to random population controls matched 5:1 on sex and birth year from Cox regression models. RESULTS First-degree relatives (1stDRs) of CRSwNP patients demonstrated a 4.1-fold increased risk (p < 10(-3) ) of carrying the same diagnosis, whereas second-degree relatives (2ndDRs) demonstrated a 3.3-fold increased risk (p < 0.004), compared to controls. In CRSsNP patients, 1stDRs were at 2.4-fold increased risk (p < 10(-15) ), whereas 2ndDRs were at 1.4-fold increased risk (p < 10(-15) ) of the same diagnosis. Third-degree relatives (3rdDRs) had a slight increased risk at 1.1-fold (p < 10(-7) ). Spouses of CRSsNP patients, who likely share environmental circumstances, exhibited a 2-fold increased risk (p < 10(-15) ). No increased risk was observed in spouses of CRSwNP patients. CONCLUSION In the largest population study to date, a significant familial risk is confirmed in CRSwNP and CRSsNP, which may have a shared genetic and environmental component. Further understanding of the genetic basis of CRS and its interplay with environment factors could clarify disease etiology and lead to more effective targeted treatments.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Determining the associated risk between papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and cutaneous malignant melanoma (CM) and the rate of BRAF v600e mutation could help identify a common genetic component of these 2 cancers. OBJECTIVES To define the relative risk of PTC in patients with CM, and vice versa, and their first- through fifth-degree relatives and spouses by using a unique population research database; and to assess the rate of BRAF v600e mutation in a group of patients with both diagnoses. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Retrospective rev iew using the Utah Population Database (which is linked to medical records and the Utah Cancer Registry from 1966 to 2011) and tissue analysis in a tertiary care facility. Included were 4460 patients diagnosed with PTC and 14 569 with CM in Utah between 1966 and 2011 and their first- through fifth-degree relatives and spouses. These were compared at a 5:1 ratio with matched, population-based controls. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Statistically significant increased risk of PTC in patients with CM, and vice versa, and any first- through fifth-degree relatives and spouses; and a significantly higher rate of BRAF v600e mutation in patients with both PTC and CM than would be expected for each individual condition alone. RESULTS Patients with CM had a 2.3-fold increased risk (P < .001) of being diagnosed as having PTC compared with population-based matched controls. Conversely, patients with PTC had a 1.8-fold increased risk (P < .001) of developing CM. First- through fifth-degree relatives and spouses of patients with PTC or CM did not show a statistically significant increased risk. Eight patients with both cancer diagnoses had tissue specimens tested, of which 4 (50%) were found to be positive for the BRAF v600e mutation in either their PTC or CM specimen, and 3 (38%) were found positive in both. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Patients with either PTC or CMhave an increased risk of developing the other cancer as a second primary malignant neoplasm. Tissue specimens from patients with both cancers show a high rate of BRAF v600e mutation. Translational studies are needed to better define the associated genetic predisposition between PTC and CM and to test the efficacy of and implementation techniques for treatment plans using BRAF mutation as a therapeutic target.

Abstract
Objective: 1) Describe the rare case of an adolescent with a concha bullosa mucopyocele presenting as a nasal mass. 2) Review the existing literature discussing mucopyocele of a concha bullosa. Method: Case report of a 14-year old girl presenting to the emergency department with localized right-side facial pain, pressure, and headaches. The patient had no rhinorrhea, was afebrile, and had a normal white blood cell count and c-reactive protein. Results: Sinus CT showed a right-side intranasal mass with destruction of middle turbinate bone. MRI revealed post-obstructive fluid throughout the maxillary, ethmoid, and frontal sinuses. The patient was taken to the operating room for biopsy of the presumed mass and drainage of the sinuses. A large, bulging middle turbinate was found on nasal endoscopy and incision into the turbinate revealed a purulent concha bullosa. The concha bullosa was opened and unilateral maxillary antrostomy and anterior ethmoidectomy performed. Literature discussing concha bullosa mucopyocele is limited to only a few case reports. Conclusion: This describes an unusual case of an adolescent girl with a concha bullosa mucopyocele presenting as an obstructing mass of the middle meatus without signs or symptoms of infection. Although rare, an infected concha bullosa can cause significant problems by obstructing the entire osteomeatal complex.
