Dear Editor,Adrenal vascular cysta ns_5474 761..770 Cysts of the adrenal gland are rare 1 and form a heterogeneous group of lesions. In 1966, Foster 2 put forth a classification based on the histopathology of 220 adrenal cysts into parasitic cysts (7%), epithelial cysts (9%), pseudocysts (39%) and endothelial cysts (45%). Evidence suggests that pseudocysts and endothelial cysts are variants of vascular cysts and account for 84% of adrenal cysts. Adrenal cysts are more common in women and present clinically as
Background: Lesions of the frontal sinus (FS) are always a surgical challenge. Conventional endonasal endoscopic techniques do not provide complete access inside the FS. This is especially true with laterally placed lesions like mucocele or post-traumatic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak from FS. Standard procedures like osteoplastic flap and endoscopic modified Lothrop are not feasible for these smaller unilateral lesions with normally functioning contralateral sinus.Study design: Retrospective case study of laterally placed posterior table CSF leak and frontal mucocele were evaluated for their clinical presentation, radiological, operative findings and follow-up. Conclusion:Complete external approaches to the lateral lesion of FS are associated with high morbidity. Ability of the endoscopes to visualize lateral and posterior extents of the FS directly through the brow incision helps in complete repair/ excision of these lesions without any difficulty.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
