Abstract
BACKGROUND This is the largest study in North America investigating olfactory outcomes after pituitary surgery to date. OBJECTIVE Characterize factors associated with subjective olfactory dysfunction (OD) and worsened sinonasal quality-of-life (QOL) after endoscopic TSA. METHODS Patients undergoing primary TSA for secreting and non-secreting pituitary adenomas between 2017 and 2021 with pre- and post-operative SNOT-22 scores were included. Subjective OD was determined by the smell/taste dysfunction question on the SNOT-22 (smell-SNOT). RESULTS 159 patients with pre- and post-operative SNOT-22 scores were included. Average total SNOT-22 scores worsened from pre-operative (16.91 ± 16.91) to POM1 (25.15 ± 20.83, P < .001), with no difference from pre-operative (16.40 ± 15.88) to POM6 (16.27 ± 17.92, P = .936) or pre-operative (13.63 ± 13.54) to POM12 (12.60 ± 16.45, P = .651). Average smell-SNOT scores worsened from pre-operative (0.40 ± 1.27) to POM1 (2.09 ± 2.01, P < .001), and pre-operative (0.46 ± 1.29) to POM6 (1.13 ± 2.45, P = .002), with no difference from pre-operative (0.40 ± 1.07) to POM12 (0.71 ± 1.32, P = .100). Female gender had a 0.9-point (95% CI 0.1 to 1.6) P = .021, increase in smell-SNOT at POM1, resolving by POM6 (0.1 [-0.9 to 1.1], P = .800) and POM12 (0.0 [-1.0 to 0.9], P = .942). Septoplasty with tunnel approach had a 1.1 [0.2 to 2.0] out of 5-point (P = .023) increase in smell-SNOT at POM1, resolving by POM6 (0.2 [-1.1 to 1.6], P = .764) and POM12 (0.4 [-0.9 to 1.6], P = .567). Female gender had a 9.5 (4.0 to 15.1)-point (P = .001) increase in SNOT-22 scores at POM1, resolving by POM6 (3.4 [-3.0 to 9.8], P = .292) and POM12 (6.4 [-5.4 to 18.2], P = .276). Intra-operative CSF leak had an 8.6 [2.1 to 15.1]-point (P = .009) increase in SNOT-22 scores at POM1, resolving by POM6 (5.4 [-1.7 to 12.5], P = .135), and POM12 (1.1 [-12.9 to 15.1], P = .873). CONCLUSION Changes in subjective olfaction and sinonasal QOL after TSA may be associated with gender, operative approach, and intra-operative CSF leak, resolving 6-12 months post-operatively.

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
Objectives Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks of the anterior cranial base are frequently repaired with endonasal, multilayered reconstructions. Vascularized tissue flaps are superior to free mucosal grafts and biomaterials in many cases. Limitations of previously described flaps include reach, rotation, pedicle availability, and postoperative sinonasal morbidity. The objective of this study is to describe the superiorly based middle turbinate flap, a novel vascularized mucosal reconstruction option, and to present a case series demonstrating flap utility. Design Cadaveric feasibility study with technical description and illustrative case series. Setting Tertiary medical center. Participants Three silicone-injected cadaveric specimens (6 sides); 7 patients with CSF rhinorrhea from bony dehiscence of the anterior cranial fossa repaired with a superiorly based middle turbinate flap. Outcome Measures Cadaveric feasibility, in vivo repair outcomes, sinonasal symptoms, and postoperative healing. Results Cadaveric dissection demonstrated a consistent vascular plexus arising from the anterior and posterior ethmoid arteries, originating at the superior attachment of the middle turbinate and traveling inferiorly to supply the mucosa of the middle turbinate. Mean surface area of the flap was 776.67 ± 114.60 mm 2 . The clinical series of 7 patients involved leaks around the cribriform plate and fovea ethmoidalis. There were no instances of repair failure. All cases showed rapid and complete remucosalization without significant sinonasal morbidity. Conclusion The superiorly based middle turbinate flap is a reliable, versatile, and effective option for a vascularized mucosal flap onlay that can be used in anterior skull base reconstruction. This flap is particularly useful in the repair of defects involving the cribriform plate and fovea ethmoidalis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Cavernous Hemangioma Exclusively Endonasal Resection (CHEER) staging system has become the gold standard for outcomes reporting in endoscopic orbital surgery for orbital cavernous hemangiomas (OCHs). A recent systematic review demonstrated similar outcomes between OCHs and other primary benign orbital tumors (PBOTs). Therefore, we hypothesized that a simplified and more comprehensive classification system could be developed to predict surgical outcomes of other PBOTs. METHODS Patient and tumor characteristics as well as surgical outcomes from 11 international centers were recorded. All tumors were retrospectively assigned an Orbital Resection by Intranasal Technique (ORBIT) class and stratified based on surgical approach as either exclusively endoscopic or combined (endoscopic and open). Outcomes based on approach were compared using chi-squared or Fisher's exact tests. The Cochrane-Armitage test for trend was used to analyze outcomes by class. RESULTS Findings from 110 PBOTs from 110 patients (age 49.0 ± 15.0 years, 51.9% female) were included in the analysis. Higher ORBIT class was associated with a lower likelihood of gross total resection (GTR). GTR was more likely to be achieved when an exclusively endoscopic approach was utilized (p < 0.05). Tumors resected using a combined approach tended to be larger, to present with diplopia, and to have an immediate postoperative cranial nerve palsy (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Endoscopic treatment of PBOTs is an effective approach, with favorable short-term and long-term postoperative outcomes as well as low rate of adverse events. The ORBIT classification system is an anatomic-based framework that effectively facilitates high-quality outcomes reporting for all PBOTs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Approximately 20% of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) have comorbid obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Patients with undiagnosed OSA are at high risk for perioperative complications. The Sinonasal Outcomes Test (SNOT-22) Questionnaire is commonly administered to CRS patients, whereas OSA screening tools are less routinely employed. This study compared SNOT-22 sleep subdomain (Sleep-SNOT) scores among non-OSA CRS versus OSA-CRS patients undergoing ESS, and assessed sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy of the Sleep-SNOT for OSA screening. METHODS Retrospective review of patients that underwent endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for CRS from 2012 to 2021. Patients either carried a reported OSA diagnosis and completed the SNOT-22, or had undocumented OSA status and completed both STOP-BANG and SNOT-22. Demographics, questionnaire scores, and OSA status were collected. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve assessed cutoff scores, sensitivity, and specificity of the Sleep-SNOT for OSA screening. RESULTS Of 600 patients reviewed, 109 were included. 41% had comorbid OSA. OSA patients had a higher BMI (32.1 ± 7.7 vs. 28.35 ± 6.7 kg/m2 ; p = 0.02), Sleep-SNOT (21.96 ± 12.1 vs. 16.8 ± 11.2; p = 0.021) and STOP-BANG (3.1 ± 1.44 vs. 2.06 ± 1.27; p = 0.038) scores. A Sleep-SNOT score of 17.5 had a sensitivity of 68.9%, specificity of 55.7%, and diagnostic accuracy of 63% for OSA detection (p = 0.022). CONCLUSIONS Sleep-SNOT scores are greater for CRS-OSA patients. The Sleep-SNOT ROC curve demonstrates a high sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for OSA screening in CRS patients. A Sleep-SNOT score of ≥17.5 should prompt further OSA evaluation. The Sleep-SNOT may be considered as a surrogate OSA screening tool when other validated tools are not employed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evaluate the effect of p16 status on disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) undergoing treatment with curative intent; and to assess how p16 status may affect patterns of recurrence. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Tertiary medical center. METHODS Patients with sinonasal SCC treated with curative intent from 2012 to 2018 were identified. Independent variable of interest was p16 status, which was assessed using immunohistochemistry (IHC) with a 70% staining cutoff for positivity. Kaplan Meier survival curve was plotted to assess correlation between p16 status and DFS and OS. Association between recurrence patterns and p16 status was conducted using chi square and fisher's exact tests. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard analysis was conducted to assess association between independent variables and DFS. RESULTS Fifty patients with sinonasal SCC met inclusion criteria. Patients were p16 positive in 28/50 (56%) of cases. Kaplan Meier survival curve revealed no statistically significant association between p16 status and DFS or OS survival (P = .780, P = .474). There was no difference in recurrence patterns in patients with p16 positive versus negative tumors. CONCLUSION p16 status did not have prognostic value on DFS and OS in our cohort of patients with sinonasal SCC undergoing treatment with curative intent. There was no difference in recurrence patterns between the 2 populations. Based on the results of this study, p16 status should not impact counseling of patients as it relates to their prognosis from SNM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative prophylactic antibiotics are commonly used in pituitary surgery, but evidence supporting their use is lacking, which has implications for antibiotic stewardship. OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether receipt of postoperative oral antibiotics results in superior sinonasal quality of life (QOL) compared with placebo among patients who undergo endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal pituitary surgery. METHODS Patients were randomized to receive either oral placebo or cefdinir (trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole in patients intolerant to cefdinir) for 7 d after surgery. They were monitored for 12 wk. The primary outcome measure was sinonasal QOL at 2 wk on the Anterior Skull Base Nasal Inventory-12. Supplementary end points included sinonasal QOL reported on the Sinonasal Outcome Test-22 and objective endoscopy scores to assess nasal healing according to the Lund-Kennedy method. RESULTS A total of 461 patients were screened, 131 were randomized, and 113 (placebo arm: 55; antibiotic arm: 58) were analyzed. There was no clinically meaningful or statistically significant difference in sinonasal QOL at any measured time point (P ≥ .24) using either instrument. Nasal cavity endoscopy scores were not significantly different at 1 to 2 wk after surgery (P = .25) or at 3 to 4 wk after surgery (P = .08). CONCLUSION Postoperative prophylactic oral antibiotics did not result in superior sinonasal QOL compared with placebo among patients who underwent standard endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Sinonasal Outcomes Test-22 (SNOT-22) is used widely as a patient-reported sinonasal quality-of-life (QOL) instrument for endoscopic endonasal pituitary surgery. However, it has never been validated in this population. This study explores the psychometric validity of SNOT-22 to determine if it is a valid scale in patients undergoing endoscopic pituitary surgery. STUDY DESIGN Multicenter prospective trial. METHODS Adult patients (n = 113) with pituitary tumors undergoing endoscopic surgery were enrolled in a multicenter study. Patient-reported QOL was assessed using SNOT-22 and the Anterior Skull Base Nasal Inventory-12. Face validity, internal consistency, responsiveness to clinical change, test-retest reliability, and concurrent validity were determined using standard statistical methods. RESULTS Internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha at baseline and 2 weeks postoperatively were 0.911 and 0.922, indicating SNOT-22 performed well as a single construct. Mean QOL scores were significantly worse at 2 weeks than baseline (16.4 ± 15.1 vs. 23.1 ± 16.4, P < .001), indicating the scale is responsive to clinical change. However, only 11/22 items demonstrated significant changes in mean scores at 2 weeks. Correlation between scores at 2 and 3 weeks was high, suggesting good test-retest reliability, r(107) = 0.75, P < .001. Factor analysis suggests the five-factor solution proposed for the SNOT-22 in rhinosinusitis patients is not valid in pituitary surgery patients. CONCLUSIONS The SNOT-22 is a valid QOL instrument in patients undergoing endoscopic pituitary surgery. However, because it includes 22 items, can be applied only as a single construct, 50% of the items do not demonstrate changes after surgery, and is not as sensitive to change as other scales, shorter instruments developed specifically for this patient population may be preferable.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The mainstay of treatment in sinonasal malignancy (SNM) is surgery, and when combined with chemoradiation therapy, often leads to the best overall prognosis. Nasal endoscopy is essential for post-treatment surveillance along with physical exam and radiologic evaluation. The ability to directly visualize the sinus cavities after surgery may also improve early detection of tumor recurrence and is another reason to potentially advocate for surgery in these patients. METHODS A retrospective chart review of medical records of patients with pathologically proven SNM was conducted from 2005 to 2019. RESULTS The nasal cavity and maxillary sinus were the most common primary tumor sub-sites. The most common pathology was squamous cell carcinoma (42%). The median time to recurrence was 9.8 months. Recurrence was initially detected endoscopically in 34.3% patients, by imaging in 62.7% patients, and by physical exam in 3.0% patients. 67 (29%) total recurrences were detected on follow-up, of which 46 (68.7%) were local. Twenty-three of the local recurrences were identified via nasal endoscopy. Thirteen recurrences were identified via endoscopic surveillance within the surgically patent paranasal sinuses while 13 were identified within the nasal cavity; 5 patients had multiple sites of recurrence. CONCLUSION Local recurrence of SNM is the most common site for recurrent disease and nasal endoscopy identified half of these cases. 50% of these recurrences were within the paranasal sinuses and would not have been easily identified if the sinuses were not open for inspection. Thus, open sinus cavities aid in the detection of tumor recurrence and is another advantage of surgery in the management of SNM.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives A variety of endonasal sellar repair techniques have been described; many are complex, multilayered, and carry potential morbidity. We propose an effective, technically simple single-layer repair for select sellar defects, including those with an intraoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. Our technique utilizes only a synthetic dural substitute inlay and dural sealant glue without packing or lumbar drainage.
Design This is a retrospective review-based study.
Setting This study was conducted at tertiary care center.
Participants Patients who underwent endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenoma and sellar reconstruction with the aforementioned inlay technique. Patients were selected for this technique if they had an identified intraoperative CSF leak, a patulous diaphragm (expanded and thinned diaphragma sella), or a comorbidity excluding them from a simpler onlay only reconstruction.
Outcome Measures Postoperative CSF leak and sinonasal morbidity included in the study
Results A total of 409 subjects were identified; 368 were initial resections. Gross total resection of the pituitary adenoma was achieved in 356 (87.0%) cases. Average tumor size was 2.6 ± 1.1 cm. Average tumor volume was 10.8 ± 12.1 cm3. There were 135 intraoperative CSF leaks and 196 patulous diaphragms. There were five postoperative CSF leaks (1.2%), all of which occurred in the first half of our series. Pre- and postoperative sino-nasal outcomes test-22 scores were 19.2 ± 18.2 and 18.8 ± 21.3 (p = 0.492), respectively.
Conclusion A synthetic dural substitute inlay and dural sealant glue is an excellent single-layer repair for sellar defects, even those with an intraoperative CSF leak. This technique is highly effective in preventing postoperative CSF leaks and does not utilize packing or lumbar drainage. It also avoids the potential cost and morbidity associated with more complex and multilayered closures.

Abstract
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a commonly seen comorbidity in patients undergoing endoscopic skull base surgery and its presence may influence perioperative decision-making. Current practice patterns for preoperative screening of OSA are poorly understood. Objective The objective of this study was to assess how endoscopic skull base surgeons screen for OSA, and how knowledge of OSA affects perioperative decision-making. Methods Seven question survey distributed to members of the North American Skull Base Society. Results Eighty-eight responses (10% response rate) were received. 60% of respondents were from academic centers who personally performed >50 cases per year. Most respondents noted that preoperative knowledge of OSA and its severity affected postoperative care and increased their concern for complications. Half of respondents noted that preoperative knowledge of OSA and its severity affects intraoperative skull base reconstruction decision-making. 70% of respondents did not have a preoperative OSA screening protocol. Body mass index and patient history were most frequently used by those who screened. Validated screening questionnaires were rarely used. 76% of respondents agreed or somewhat agreed that a preoperative polysomnogram should ideally be performed for patients with suspected OSA; however, 50% of respondents reported that <20% of their patients with suspected OSA are advised to obtain a preoperative polysomnogram. Conclusion This study reveals that most endoscopic skull base surgeons agree that OSA affects postoperative patient care, but only a minority have a preoperative screening protocol in place. Additional study is needed to assess the most appropriate screening methods and protocols for OSA patients undergoing endoscopic skull base surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS For patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) undergoing sinonasal surgery, there is a lack of consensus on the risk and appropriate postoperative use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). The aim of this study was to assess the tolerability of restarting CPAP on postoperative day one. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study. METHODS A prospective study on patients with OSA on CPAP who required a septoplasty/turbinectomy and/or functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) was performed. Data from the memory card of a patient's CPAP machine and subjective information were obtained on the day of surgery and at scheduled follow-up visits. All subjects were instructed to restart CPAP on the first postoperative night. RESULTS A total of 14 patients were analyzed; nine underwent FESS and five had a septoplasty/turbinectomy. There were no postoperative complications encountered. The only significant change in the first postoperative week was a reduction in the percentage of nights used over 4 hours (P < .05). By the third postoperative visit, average 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test, Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation, and CPAP tolerance scores improved from preoperative values. CPAP pressures, residual apnea-hypopnea index, and number of hours and mean percentage of nights used remained stable throughout the study period. CONCLUSIONS Both quality-of-life and CPAP outcomes improved or remained the same when restarting CPAP immediately postoperatively. Combined with a lack of significant complications, this study suggests that CPAP is well-tolerated when restarted the day after a septoplasty/turbinectomy or FESS.

Abstract
Orbital schwannomas are rare neoplasms of the orbit. The presenting symptoms are often nonspecific. Classic imaging characteristics seen on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and orbital ultrasound can be useful to help aid in the diagnosis of orbital schwannoma. When diagnosed, the goal of treatment is complete surgical excision. The location of the tumor within the orbit dictates which surgical approach would provide the best exposure. When complete excision is achieved, recurrence rates are very low. This article addresses the etiology, patient population, presentation, natural history, and differential diagnosis of orbital schwannomas. Imaging characteristics and histopathologic subtypes are reviewed. Treatment goals, approaches, and specialties involved in the management of these patients is discussed. Finally, a representative case is presented.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective Patients undergoing endoscopic endonasal surgery have historically been restricted from using straws postoperatively, due to the concern that this activity generates negative pressure. The objective of this study is to evaluate the pressure dynamics in the sinonasal cavity associated with the use of a straw.
Methods Intracranial pressure catheters were placed in the nasal cavity of 20 healthy individuals. Pressure measurements were then recorded while participants drank liquids of different viscosities from a cup and from a straw. Measurements were recorded with and without subjects occluding their nose to simulate postoperative nasal obstruction.
Results The average pressure in the nasal cavity while drinking water from a cup was −0.86 cmH2O, from a straw was −1.09 cmH2O, and while occluding the nose and using a straw was −0.81 cmH2O. The average pressure in the nasal cavity while drinking a milkshake from a cup was −0.98 cmH2O, from a straw was −1.88 cmH2O, and while occluding the nose and using a straw was −1.37 cmH2O. There was no statistically significant difference in pressure measurements when comparing either task or consistency (p > 0.05).
Conclusion Straw use is not associated with the generation of significant negative pressure in the nasal cavity. The pressure generated when drinking from a straw is not significantly different from that of drinking from a cup. This data suggest that straw use may be safe for patients following endoscopic skull base surgery, but further investigation is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery (ETS) for the resection of pituitary adenoma has become more common throughout the past decade. Although most patients have a short postoperative hospitalization, others require a more prolonged stay. We aimed to identify predictors for prolonged hospitalization in the setting of ETS for pituitary adenomas. METHODS A retrospective chart review as performed on 658 patients undergoing ETS for pituitary adenoma at a single tertiary care academic center from 2005 to 2019. Length of stay (LoS) was defined as date of surgery to date of discharge. Patients with LoS in the top 10th percentile (prolonged LoS [PLS] >4 days, N = 72) were compared with the remainder (standard LoS [SLS], N = 586). RESULTS The average age was 54 years and 52.5% were male. The mean LoS was 2.1 days vs 7.5 days (SLS vs PLS). On univariate analysis, atrial fibrillation (p = 0.002), hypertension (p = 0.033), partial tumor resection (p < 0.001), apoplexy (p = 0.020), intraoperative cerebrospinal fluid (ioCSF) leak (p = 0.001), nasoseptal flap (p = 0.049), postoperative diabetes insipidus (DI) (p = 0.010), and readmission within 30 days (p = 0.025) were significantly associated with PLS. Preoperative continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) (odds ratio, 15.144; 95% confidence interval, 2.596-88.346; p = 0.003) and presence of an ioCSF leak (OR, 10.362; 95% CI, 2.143-50.104; p = 0.004) remained significant on multivariable analysis. CONCLUSION For patients undergoing ETS for pituitary adenomas, an ioCSF leak or preoperative use of CPAP predicted PLS. Additional common reasons for PLS included postoperative CSF leak (10 of 72), management of DI or hypopituitarism (15 of 72), or reoperation due to surgical or medical complications (14 of 72).

Abstract
BACKGROUND For patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), there is a lack of knowledge regarding the impact of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on the nasal cavity. There is a significant need for evidence-based recommendations regarding the appropriate use of CPAP following endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery. OBJECTIVE The goal of this study is to translate a previously developed cadaveric model for evaluating CPAP pressures in the sinonasal cavity by showing safety in vivo and quantifying the effect of positive pressurized air flow on the nasal cavity of healthy individuals where physiologic effects are at play. METHODS A previously validated cadaveric model using intracranial sensor catheters has proved to be a reliable technique for measuring sinonasal pressures. These sensors were placed in the nasal cavity of 18 healthy individuals. Pressure within the nose was recorded at increasing levels of CPAP. RESULTS Overall, nasal cavity pressure was on average 85% of delivered CPAP. The amount of pressure delivered to the nasal cavity increased as the CPAP increased. The percentage of CPAP delivered was 77% for 5 cmH2O and increased to 89% at 20 cmH2O. There was a significant difference in mean intranasal pressures between all the levels of CPAP except 5 cmH2O and 8 cmH2O (P < .001). CONCLUSION On average, only 85% of the pressure delivered by CPAP is transmitted to the nasal cavity. Higher CPAP pressures delivered a greater percentage of pressurized air to the nasal cavity floor. Our results are comparable to the cadaver model, which demonstrated similar pressure delivery even in the absence of anatomic factors such as lung compliance, nasal secretions, and edema. This study demonstrates the safety of using sensors in the human nasal cavity. This technology can also be utilized to evaluate the resiliency of various repair techniques for endoscopic skull base surgery with CPAP administration.

Abstract
Introduction The endoscopic endonasal approach to management of orbital pathology has
expanded. Due to the rarity of these conditions, most reports in the
literature consist of small case reports. We report a series from a single
institution with a focus on outcomes. Methods A retrospective chart review was carried out between 2010 and 2018. Results Twenty-four patients were identified (average age 58 years, 15 males, 9
females). Average follow-up was 14.9 months. Most common etiologies included
cavernous hemangioma (7), metastases (6), idiopathic orbital inflammatory
syndrome (6), orbital hematoma/clot (2), and schwannoma (1). Most common
presenting symptoms were decreased visual acuity (8), proptosis (8),
diplopia (7), and incidental findings (2). All patients underwent endoscopic
medial wall orbital decompressions. Sixteen involved a combined open
approach by an ophthalmologist. Pathology was either biopsied (15), resected
(6), or could not be identified (3). No intraoperative complications were
noted. No patients underwent orbital reconstruction of the medial wall. Six
patients developed postoperative sinusitis successfully managed with
antibiotics. One patient developed epistaxis managed conservatively. In 5
patients, Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 scores increased immediately postop and
then decreased, whereas scores only decreased in 6 patients. Six patients
noted reduced proptosis. There were no new cases of diplopia or worsening
visual acuity. Conclusions A combined endoscopic endonasal and external approach can be useful for
managing orbital lesions. Patients tolerated the procedure well with
improvement in ocular symptoms and minimal sinonasal complications.
Reconstruction of the medial wall may not be warranted to prevent
postoperative diplopia.

Abstract
Objective A variety of endonasal sellar repair techniques have been described; many of which are complex, expensive, and carry potential morbidity but are felt to be necessary to prevent postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks. We propose an effective, technically simple repair for select sellar defects utilizing an onlay of regenerated oxidized cellulose. Design Retrospective review of patients from a single neurosurgeon who underwent endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenoma and sellar reconstruction with only an onlay of regenerated oxidized cellulose. Patients were selected for this repair technique based on the absence of: (1) intraoperative identification of a CSF leak, (2) patulous diaphragm (expanded diaphragm sella herniating to or through sellar floor defect), and (3) other prohibiting comorbidities. Setting The present study was conducted at a tertiary care center. Participants In this study, pituitary adenoma patients were the participants. Outcome Measures Main outcome measure of the study is postoperative CSF leak. Results A total of 172 patients were identified. Of these, 153 were initial resections of pituitary adenomas. Gross total resection was achieved in 142 (82.6%) cases. Average tumor size was 2.2 ± 1.1 cm. Average tumor volume was 10.4 ± 19.8 cm 3 . No patients had intraoperative CSF leaks. All cases were repaired with only an onlay of regenerated oxidized cellulose. There were two postoperative CSF leaks (1.16%). Pre and postoperative SNOT-22 scores were 12.9 ± 11.9 and 14.3 ± 14.9 ( p = 0.796), respectively. Conclusion The use of an onlay of regenerated oxidized cellulose alone is an effective repair technique for select sellar defects. This technique does not result in increased postoperative CSF leak rates and avoids the higher relative cost and potential morbidity associated with more complex, multilayered closures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There remains considerable variation in the extent of sinonasal preservation during the approach for endoscopic transsphenoidal hypophysectomy (TSH). We advocate for a minimally destructive approach utilizing turbinate lateralization, small posterior septectomy, no ethmoidectomy, and preservation of nasoseptal flap (NSF) pedicles bilaterally. Due to these factors, this approach may affect the rates of postoperative rhinosinusitis. The objective of this study is to define the rates of postoperative rhinosinusitis in patients undergoing this approach. METHODS Single institution, retrospective chart review of patients undergoing TSH from 2005 to 2018. RESULTS A total of 415 patients were identified and 14% developed an episode of postoperative rhinosinusitis within 3 months. These patients were significantly more likely to have had a history of recurrent acute or chronic rhinosinusitis. Most cases were sphenoethmoidal sinusitis managed with 1 to 2 courses of antibiotics. Of patients with postoperative rhinosinusitis, most did not undergo NSF. Average follow-up was 38 months. Six patients (1.4%) underwent post-TSH functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). Average time from TSH to FESS was 26.3 months. Two of these patients had a history of prior chronic rhinosinusitis without polyposis. Two patients underwent revision TSH for recurrent tumor as the primary indication for surgery at time of FESS. Twenty-two-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) scores generally increased immediately postoperatively, but frequently decreased below preoperative level by the time of last follow-up, regardless of whether patients developed rhinosinusitis. CONCLUSION Sinonasal preservation during TSH is associated with a low rate of postoperative rhinosinusitis requiring FESS and excellent long-term patient reported outcomes. We continue to advocate for sinonasal preservation during pituitary surgery.

Abstract
Background Inverted papillomas (IPs) are benign, locally aggressive neoplasms with a high recurrence rate that most commonly arise from the lateral nasal wall. Rarely, IP can originate from the lacrimal sac and/or nasolacrimal duct (NLD) system. A 58-year-old man presented with chronic epiphora and an enlarging mass inferior to his left medial canthal tendon (MCT) for 2 years. Objective The patients’ clinical presentation and surgical management are described. A literature review on IP of the lacrimal sac and NLD system was conducted. Methods Case report. Results We present a case of an IP that arose primarily from the lacrimal sac and grew below the MCT rather than extending above it. This is one of few published case reports detailing the use of a combined endoscopic and external approach for the resection of an IP of the lacrimal sac. Conclusion Combined endoscopic and external resection is a viable approach for complete removal of extensive IP of the lacrimal sac and NLD system. IP arising from the lacrimal sac may grow below the MCT or extend above it as previously reported.

Abstract
Pituitary adenomas are typically slow-growing benign tumors. However, 50% to 60% of tumors progress following subtotal resection and up to 30% recur after apparent complete resection. Options for treatment of recurrent pituitary adenomas include repeat surgical resection, radiation therapy, and systemic therapies. There is no consensus approach for the management of recurrent pituitary adenomas. This article reviews the natural history of recurrent adenomas and emerging biomarkers predictive of clinical behavior as well as the outcomes associated with the various treatment modalities for these challenging tumors, with an emphasis on the surgical treatment.

Abstract
Background Due to the diverse histopathologic features and variable survival rates seen in sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC), it is likely that this diagnostic entity is comprised of a heterogonous group of morphologically undifferentiated tumors. As advancements in molecular testing have led to a better understanding of tumor biology, it has become increasingly evident that SNUC may actually encompass several tumor subtypes with different clinical behavior. As a result, it is also likely that all SNUC patients cannot be treated in the same fashion. Recent investigations have identified loss of the tumor suppressor SMARCB1 (INI1) expression in a subset of undifferentiated sinonasal tumors and extrasinonasal tumors and, studies have suggested that this genetic aberration may be a poor prognostic marker. The objective of this study was to identify differential expression of SMARCB1 in SNUC and to analyze and compare the survival outcomes in SNUC patients with and without SMARCB1 expression. Methods All cases of undifferentiated or poorly differentiated neoplasms of the sinonasal tract treated between 2007 and 2018 at a single tertiary care institution were selected. All cases of SNUC were tested for SMARCB1 status by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Clinical parameters were analyzed using Student's t -test and Fischer's test. Kaplan-Meier methods were used to estimate survival durations, while comparison between both the subgroups was done using the log-rank test. Statistical analysis was performed with the use of SPSS software, Version 25 (IBM, New York, NY, United States). Results Fourteen cases of SNUC were identified. Approximately two-thirds (64%; n = 9) of patients were male and the majority (79%; n = 11) were between fifth to seventh decade. Skull base and orbital invasion were seen in 79% ( n = 11) and 93% ( n = 13) of cases, respectively. Fifty-seven percent of tumors ( n = 8) retained SMARCB1 expression by IHC (SR-SNUC), while the remaining 43% ( n = 6) showed loss of SMARCB1 expression and, thus, were considered as SMARCB1 -deficient (SD-SNUC). Although clinicopathological features and treatment modalities were similar, SD-SNUC showed poorer (OS: p = 0.07; disease free survival [DFS]: p = 0.02) overall survival (OS) and DFS on Kaplan-Meier curves. Additionally, SD-SNUC showed higher recurrence (75 vs. 17%) and mortality (67 vs. 14%) (hazard rate = 8.562; p = 0.05) rates. Both OS (28.82 ± 31.15 vs. 53.24 ± 37.50) and DFS durations (10.62 ± 10.26 vs. 43.79 ± 40.97) were consistently worse for SD-SNUC. Five-year survival probabilities were lower for SD-SNUC (0.33 vs. 0.85). Conclusion SNUC represents a heterogeneous group of undifferentiated sinonasal malignancies. Based on the status of SMARCB1 expression, the two subgroups SD-SNUC and SR-SNUC appear to represent distinct clinical entities, with loss of SMARCB1 expression conferring an overall worse prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Chronic frontal sinus infection is managed with a combination of medical and surgical interventions. Frontal bone osteomyelitis due to recurrent infection following trauma or prior open surgery may require more significant debridement. Free tissue transfer may allow for extensive debridement with replacement of tissue, and definitive eradication of osteomyelitis. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review. METHODS Patients undergoing free flap obliteration of the frontal sinus for frontal bone osteomyelitis at a single institution were included in the study. Clinical, radiologic, and surgical data were collected. Surgeries before and after free flap obliteration were compared by Wilcoxon signed rank test. RESULTS Fifteen patients were identified; however, one patient had less than 6 months of follow-up and was excluded from analysis. Of the remaining 14 patients, mean follow-up duration was 26 months (range, 6-120 months). Mean number of surgeries prior to free flap was 3.7 (range, 1-8 surgeries). Free flap obliteration resolved chronic frontal sinusitis in all patients. Two patients experienced postoperative infection, and the overall complication rate was 29%. Eight patients underwent cranioplasty (six immediate, two delayed) without complication. All patients received planned courses of postoperative antibiotics. A statistically significant decrease in the number of surgeries after free flap obliteration was observed P ≤ .01). CONCLUSIONS Extensive debridement followed by free tissue transfer and antibiotics offers a definitive treatment for complicated, recurrent frontal osteomyelitis. Simultaneous cranioplasty provides immediate protective and aesthetic benefit without complication. Consideration should be given for free tissue transfer and cranioplasty earlier in the algorithm for treatment of refractory frontal sinus osteomyelitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea is a common respiratory disorder that can have negative effects on health and quality of life. Positive pressure therapy (CPAP) is the primary treatment. There is a lack of consensus on the risk of postoperative CPAP after endoscopic sinus or skull base surgery. We present a proof-of-concept cadaver model for measuring sinonasal pressure delivered by CPAP. METHODS Three fresh cadaver heads were prepared by removing the calvaria and brain. Sphenoidotomies were made and sellar bone was removed. Pressure sensors were placed in the midnasal cavity, sphenoid sinus, and sella. CPAP was applied and the delivered pressure was recorded at increasing levels of positive pressure. Paired t tests and intraclass correlation coefficients were used to analyze results. RESULTS Increases in positive pressure led to increased pressure recordings for all locations. Nasal cavity pressure was, on average, 81% of delivered CPAP. Pressure was highest in the sphenoid sinus. The effect of middle turbinate medialization on intrasphenoid pressure was not statistically significant in 2 heads. Intrasellar pressure was 80% of delivered CPAP with lateralized turbinates and 84% with medialized turbinates. Pressure recordings demonstrated excellent reliability for all locations. All heads developed non-sellar-based cranial base leaks at higher pressures. Cribriform region leaks were successfully sealed with DuraSeal®. CONCLUSION Our proof-of-concept cadaver model represents a novel approach to measure pressures delivered to the nasal cavity and anterior skull base by CPAP. With further study, it may have broader clinical application to guide the safe postoperative use of CPAP in this population.

Abstract
Background Fraser syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized primarily by syndactyly, cryptophthalmos, urinary tract anomalies, ambiguous genitalia, and laryngeal anomalies. A 28-year-old man with Fraser syndrome presented with cryptophthalmos, microphthalmia, lacrimal system dysgenesis, and chronic sinusitis. Objective The patients’ clinical condition and surgical treatment are described. A literature review was conducted, and articles relevant to the case are presented. Methods Case report. Results To our knowledge, this is the first published case report of endonasal management of dacryocystoceles in a Fraser syndrome patient. The patient was treated via endoscopic endonasal marsupialization and drainage. Conclusion Fraser syndrome patients may initially present to many different specialties as the spectrum of clinical manifestations is broad. Physicians treating these patients should take a collaborative approach to surgical and medical management.

Abstract
This is a retrospective case description of a single female patient found to have concomitant bilateral silent sinus syndrome, bilateral thyroid eye disease, unilateral dacryoadenitis, and idiopathic orbital inflammation that presented as progressive unilateral right-sided proptosis. The spectrum of inflammatory orbital diseases can make discerning between different entities challenging, but more unique in this case was the simultaneous presentation with bilateral silent sinus syndrome, a rare entity in its own right. Identifying each of these concurrent disease processes is important to establishing a multidisciplinary treatment approach to address all the patient's orbital and peri-orbital pathology. We hope to highlight the clinical and radiographic findings unique to each of these entities and share our approach to treatment in this complex case.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Paranasal sinus lymphoma is a rare clinical entity. METHODS We conducted a retrospective case series of 68 patients with biopsy-confirmed paranasal sinus lymphoma with attention on systemic disease association. RESULTS Of 63 patients with paranasal sinus lymphoma, 35 (56%) had systemic involvement. Four patient groups were identified: (1) primary paranasal sinus lymphoma (44%); (2) systemic disease occurring concurrently with paranasal sinus lymphoma (25%); (3) paranasal sinus lymphoma with relapse of preexisting systemic lymphoma (22%); and (4) progression to systemic disease after primary paranasal sinus lymphoma (8%). Most of the patients with systemic disease were diagnosed at 50 + years and had positive smoking histories. There was a trend toward disease activity in the neighboring ocular location. For patients with preexisting systemic lymphoma, the mean time to paranasal sinus lymphoma was 65 months. When systemic lymphoma developed after localized paranasal sinus lymphoma, mean time to progression was 23 months. Diffuse large B cell lymphoma was the most common paranasal sinus lymphoma. CONCLUSION There is a risk of systemic involvement during the disease course of paranasal sinus lymphoma. Biopsy is the preferred first management step and should precede debulking or mass resection in nonemergent cases. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck 39: 1065-1070, 2017.

Abstract
Objective To conduct the first and only systematic review of the existing literature on head and neck manifestations of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis to guide clinical decision making for the otolaryngologist. Data Sources PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and LILACS. Review Methods A systematic review of the aforementioned sources was conducted per the PRISMA guidelines. Results From an initial 574 studies, 28 trials and reports were included, accounting for a total of 1175 patients with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis. Among clinical and cohort studies, 48.0% to 96.0% of all included patients presented with head and neck manifestations. In a distinct group of patients detailed in case reports describing patients presenting with head and neck manifestations, patients on average fulfilled 4.6 diagnostic criteria per the American College of Rheumatology. Furthermore, 95.8% of reported cases were responsive to steroids, and 60% required additional therapy. Conclusion Otolaryngologists are in a unique position for the early diagnosis and prevention of late complications of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis. The American College of Rheumatology criteria should be relied on in the diagnostic workup. Close surveillance of these patients in a multidisciplinary fashion and with baseline complete blood counts, chest radiographs, and autoimmune laboratory tests is often necessary. Such patients with head and neck manifestations of the disease are nearly always responsive to steroids and often require additional immunosuppressive therapy or surgical intervention in cases of cranial neuropathies, temporal bone involvement, and refractory symptoms.

Abstract
Endonasal resection of olfactory groove meningiomas allows for several advantages over transcranial routes, including a direct approach to the bilateral anterior cranial base and dura mater, early tumor devascularization, and avoidance of brain retraction. Although considered minimally invasive, the endoscopic approach to the cribriform plate typically requires resection of the superior nasal septum, resulting in a large superior septal perforation. The septal transposition technique improves preservation of sinonasal anatomy through the elimination of a septal perforation while allowing for wide exposure to the midline anterior cranial base and harvest of a nasal septal flap. Herein, the authors describe a 39-year-old female who presented with a progressively enlarging olfactory groove meningioma. An endoscopic endonasal resection with a septal transposition technique was performed. On follow-up, the nasal cavity had completely normal anatomy with preservation of the turbinates and nasal septum. The authors conclude that septal transposition is a useful technique that allows wide exposure of the anterior cranial base with maximal preservation of normal nasal anatomy and avoidance of a large septal perforation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has been utilized for cutaneous melanoma and other malignancies arising from the eye and ocular adnexa. Currently, SLNB requires blue dyes and/or radiopharmaceuticals; both of which have significant shortcomings. This study sought to evaluate the feasibility of SLNB with the use of real-time, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) as an alternative technique for tumors arising in the conjunctiva. STUDY DESIGN Prospective feasibility study in a porcine model. METHODS Twelve experiments were performed on six non-tumor-bearing Yorkshire swine. An ultrasound contrast agent, Sonazoid (GE Healthcare, Oslo, Norway), (99m) technetium ((99m) Tc), and methylene blue (MB) (Covidien, Mansfield, MA) were injected in the ocular conjunctiva. Sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) were localized with CEUS and findings were compared to that of MB and (99m) Tc. Fisher exact test was used. RESULTS Contrast-enhanced SLNs were identified within an average of 6.2 minutes from time of injection of Sonazoid. A total of 17 SLNs were identified by at least one of the three techniques. Correlation between Sonazoid and (99m) Tc was 94.1% (16/17 SLNs). Correlation between (99m) Tc and MB was 88.2% (15/17). One SLN that was positive for (99m) Tc but negative for Sonazoid and was considered to be a false positive (1/17); findings were similar for MB (1/17). Differences between the three techniques were not significant (P = .886). CONCLUSIONS CEUS-guided injection of conjunctiva for SLNB is technically feasible and correlates well with standard detection techniques. This technique shows promise for rapid, real-time, intraoperative imaging for SLNB, using a widely available imaging modality and avoiding the need for radiopharmaceuticals. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE NA

Abstract
Objective Evaluate how learning progression affects outcomes for the use of sialendoscopy for sialolithiasis. Study Design Case series with chart review. Setting Academic tertiary care center. Subjects and Methods A retrospective chart review was conducted on 81 patients presenting with sialolithiasis between 2008 and 2012 who underwent surgical intervention on 85 salivary glands. Outcomes compared between the first 43 and subsequent 42 consecutive glands included successful removal, surgical method, and need for further intervention. Results For the first 43 patients (group A), mean age was 47.3 years (range, 15-77), and 44.2% were male. For the second 38 patients (group B), mean age was 49.9 (range, 23-76), and 50% were male. Mean stone size was similar in both groups; 8.3 versus 7.6 mm, respectively. In cases of stone visualization and removal, complete removal without gland excision was accomplished in 78.4% of cases in group A versus 94.3% in group B ( P = .04). Endoscopic removal occurred in 24.3% of patients in group A, versus 45.8% in group B. A combined approach was used in 54.1% of patients in group A versus 48.6% in group B. In group A, 18.9% underwent gland removal as part of initial intervention versus 0% in group B ( P = .007). Overall gland preservation was 81.4% in group A versus 97.6% in group B ( P = .015). Conclusion This study documents the effect of learning curve on sialendoscopy for the management of sialolithiasis. With experience, the success of sialendoscopy increases with a significant decrease in the number of gland excisions.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The lacrimal sac is the structure most vulnerable to injury when performing rhinoplastic osteotomies. When performed in a low lateral position or along the frontal process of the frontal-maxillary suture, osteotomies can potentially tear the medial canthal tendon and injure the underlying lacrimal sac, possibly resulting in dacryocystitis. In this case report, the authors discuss a case of dacryocystitis following primary rhinoplasty; this injury was repaired with endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) using a Sonopet ultrasonic bone aspirator (Stryker, Kalamazoo, Michigan) at a single institution. This method achieved nasolacrimal duct patency, and the patient continued to be symptom-free at an 18-month follow-up. This is the first reported case of recurrent dacryocystitis following rhinoplasty as treated by endoscopic DCR. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 5.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS SLITRK family proteins control neurite outgrowth and regulate synaptic development. In mice, Slitrk6 plays a role in the survival and innervation of sensory neurons in the inner ear, vestibular apparatus, and retina, and also influences axial eye length. We provide the first detailed description of the auditory phenotype in humans with recessive SLITRK6 deficiency. STUDY DESIGN Prospective observational case study. METHODS Nine closely related Amish subjects from an endogamous Amish community of Pennsylvania underwent audiologic and vestibular testing. Single nucleotide polymorphism microarrays were used to map the chromosome locus, and Sanger sequencing or high-resolution melt analysis were used to confirm the allelic variant. RESULTS All nine subjects were homozygous for a novel nonsense variant of SLITRK6 (c.1240C>T, p.Gln414Ter). Adult patients had high myopia. The 4 oldest SLITRK6 c.1240C>T homozygotes had absent ipsilateral middle ear muscle reflexes (MEMRs). Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) were absent in all ears tested and the cochlear microphonic (CM) was increased in amplitude and duration in young patients and absent in the two oldest subjects. Auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) were dys-synchronised bilaterally with no reproducible waves I, III, or V at high intensities. Hearing loss and speech reception thresholds deteriorated symmetrically with age, which resulted in severe-to-profound hearing impairment by early adulthood. Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials were normal in three ears and absent in one. CONCLUSION Homozygous SLITRK6 c.1240C>T (p.Gln414Ter) nonsense mutations are associated with high myopia, cochlear dysfunction attributed to outer hair cell disease, and progressive auditory neuropathy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the common features of cervical pediatric Castleman disease. DATA SOURCES Literature review of pediatric patients with cervical Castleman disease. REVIEW METHODS Online medical journal databases were searched for patients aged 18 years or younger. Eighteen published studies were found, comprising 29 patients. CONCLUSIONS An asymptomatic or slowly enlarging neck mass was the most common presentation. No sex differences were noted. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrates a homogeneous, isointense to slightly hyperintense T1-weighted signal and high signal intensity on T2-weighted imaging. Lymphoma was the most common differential diagnosis. All patients were treated with complete surgical excision and diagnosed as hyaline-vascular type on histology, except for 1 patient for whom histologic type was not reported. No reports of multicentric disease, plasma cell, or mixed histology were found. No recurrences were reported. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE In this article, we provide the largest known literature review of pediatric patients with cervical Castleman disease. Although Castleman disease is rare, it should be considered on the differential for a pediatric neck mass, particularly when presenting with an asymptomatic posterior neck mass and equivocal workup. Fortunately, our study suggests that if diagnosed as Castleman disease, the most likely diagnosis is hyaline-vascular type, for which the long-term prognosis is good. Surgical excision is both diagnostic and therapeutic.
