“…The classic radiological feature of angiofibroma is anterior bowing of the posterior maxillary sinus wall, the Holman-Miller sign [21]. Intracranial extension of angiofibroma may occur with tumour spreading through well-described routes to the skull base dominated by extradural pattern [22].…”

The transition from external approaches to an endonasal corridor has seen a significant decline in patient morbidity and inpatient care. Our Rhinology and Cranial Base Surgery Group has been able to focus on the management of certain pathologies, endoscopic access to various areas in the skull base, reconstruction of the defect, ensuring that clear anatomical landmarks can be identified during the surgery, and improving the quality of life/function after treatment. The focus on surgical treatment is always to control disease and cure patients by not only reducing recovery time and perioperative morbidity, but also decreasing the long-term impact of having a tumour removed. With a dedicated combined operating theater setting with updated instrumentation, the Neuro-ENT team is able to continue to expand and develop endoscopic care for a greater number of patients and wider range of pathologies. The collaborative Neuro-ENT to work closely via the nose using the two-hole and four-hand technique when performing the operation simultaneously is of added advantage in the diverse and expanding field of cranial base surgery. Our skull base team is joined by expert radiation and medical oncologists who provide essential adjunctive care in the multidisciplinary management of these patients.

“…A tumor that extends intracranially and remains lateral to the cavernous sinus is accessible through either a lateral skull base or an anterior approach. When a tumor extends intracranially and remains medial or inferomedial to the cavernous sinus, it is more readily removed through the anterior approach [14]. Some of these lesions may well receive substantial blood supply from large branches of the internal carotid artery.…”

“…Transnasal rigid or flexible endoscopy typically gives good visualization of the lesion. JNAs can often be removed with minimally invasive endoscopic surgery (Douglas, 2006), while some require traditional open surgical approaches (Bales, 2002). …”
