“…In fact, this sometimes results in mucous draining from the natural ostia re-entering the sinus via the newly created opening and recycling through the sinuses again. Therefore, the main goal of surgical intervention is to enlarge the natural sinus ostia and passageways of the paranasal sinuses, thus preserving the normal pathway of mucociliary clearance [36]. This surgical intervention is referred to as functional endoscopic sinus surgery or FESS.…”

Paranasal sinus development and pneumatisation variants are described, and rhinosinusitis and different patterns of inflammatory sinonasal diseases are reviewed. Other inflammatory sinonasal diseases, e.g., fungal sinusitis, mucocele, pyocele and sinonasal manifestations in systemic diseases, are briefly described. Computed tomography (CT) is the primary modality in diagnosing and mapping suspected inflammatory sinonasal disease. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is complementary to CT if fungal sinusitis, pyocele or malignancy are suspected.

“…Although the sinonasal endoscopy was introduced by Hirshmann[18] as early as 1901 by using a modified cystoscope, the first to use the microscope assisted by the endoscope in a transsphenoidal operation was Guiot in 1963. [19] Functional endoscopic sinus surgery was introduced in the 1980s,[20] and endoscopic sinus surgery has been popularized as the surgical treatment of choice for sinonasal problems.…”

Surgery for skull base lesions has advanced considerably in the past few years. The improvement in surgical results could be attributed to the availability of refined imaging modalities, modern technological advances and multidisciplinary team approach. In this report, we present our personal experience in the surgical management of 45 children with a variety of skull base lesions treated over 10 years. This article includes a retrospective analysis of the surgical approaches used and their results with a review of the literature.

“…Over the years, this approach has been expanded to remove lesions above and below the sella; however, the use of a microscope and retractors limited its versatility and applicability (17,40,63). Simultaneously, the field of functional endoscopic sinus surgery evolved, and it became clear that straight and angled endoscopes could provide full visualization of the entire midline cranial base as well as aspects of the lateral cranial base through an endonasal approach (45,57). As a result, several groups have recently pushed the evolution of endoscopic cranial base surgery with cadaveric dissections and small case series (1-4, 7, 13-15, 19, 29-31, 34, 36-39, 44, 50, 51, 55).…”
