Endoscopic endonasal removal of a large fibrous dysplasia of the paranasal sinuses and skull base

Abstract: Fibrous dysplasia is a rare condition. We present a case of a 34-years-old man presented with left-sided facial pain, headache and nasal obstruction for a long duration. CT scan of the sinuses showed a mass occupying the left ethmoidal region abutting the orbit and skull base obstructing the left frontal sinus. The patient was treated successfully by image-guided endoscopic endonasal removal of the tumor with no recurrence after 3 years of follow-up. This report aims to show the usefulness of endoscopic endona… Show more

“…The general agreement is that surgical and medical therapies are limited to relieve symptoms and minimize morbidity, not to stop disease progression. Surgical intervention is indicated to alleviate symptoms, to correct facial deformity and to deal with the complications (chronic rhinosinusitis, mucocele, pneumocephalus and optic nerve decompression) [16,18]. Optic nerve decompression is recommended as soon as possible if the patient has visual loss, whereas prophylactic decompression is not recommended in the absence of visual deterioration as it leads to worse optic outcomes (25% of visual deterioration compared to <5% in unoperated nerves as shown in a meta -analysis) [19].…”
