A 58-year-old man presented with a six-month history of intermittent blood-stained posterior nasal discharge. Five years ago, he had a three-week episode of fitful light headaches. Nasal ventilation, olfactory sensation, and facial sensation were normal; there were no ophthalmological complaints. Coronal computed tomography (CT) scans revealed soft masses in the bilateral sphenoid sinuses with bone absorption. The patient underwent bilateral functional endoscopic sinus surgery and resection of right nasal papillary masses. Papillary masses and mucosa in both sphenoid sinuses were also removed. The mass in the left sphenoid sinus was diagnosed as two separate entities, one being a primary monophasic epithelial synovial sarcoma and the other an inverted papilloma, while the mass in the right sphenoid sinus was an inverted papilloma. After surgery, the patient underwent radiotherapy and chemotherapy. At the 50-month follow-up visit, there were no signs of recurrence.

A 22-year old construction worker was shot with a fishing harpoon gun on the left side of his face. He consulted at the emergency room 12 days postinjury, stable but with blurring of vision on the right. The shaft of the harpoon was protruding at the left preauricular area; the tip was neither visible nor palpable. Craniofacial CT scan and skull anteroposterolateral radiographs revealed the tip of the harpoon to be at the right orbital apex. A hook attached 1 cm from the tip was lodged in the sphenoid sinus. The hook was dismantled from the shaft via a combined external and endoscopic transnasal approach, enabling the shaft to be gently pulled. The hook, together with the tip, were removed endoscopically. The patient’s visual acuity improved. He was discharged after 2 days on oral antibiotics with no deficits on follow-up.

There have been 8 synovial sarcomas of the median nerve reported. We report a case of a 15-year-old male with synovial sarcoma of the right-hand median nerve. Patient presented with a 2-month history of enlarging mass at the base of the right thenar eminence associated with numbness in the median nerve distribution. Physical examination revealed a soft mass over the thenar eminence and paresthesia in the median nerve distribution. He underwent excision of the tumor, which revealed a well-encapsulated lesion encompassing the median nerve, involving the first, second, and radial aspect of the third web space as well as recurrent branches of the median nerve. Following excision of the tumor, a thorough metastatic workup was negative for metastatic disease. He was staged as III, T2b, N0, M0—poorly differentiated monophasic synovial sarcoma of the right median nerve. Postoperatively the patient was started on chemotherapy and radiation. Intraneural synovial sarcoma is extremely rare. Our case is the youngest with the longest follow-up. He is currently at a status of 3 years posttreatment with no signs of recurrence and excellent use of his right hand. This case is of particular interest due to the rarity of the disease along with this being the best outcome reported in the literature to-date.

A five-year-old, entire female Arabian horse with a 6-month history of a non-painful nodule on the conjunctiva of the right eye was evaluated. Ophthalmological examination showed a firm, smooth and fleshy conjunctival mass that raised the suspicion of a conjunctival neoplasm. Histological evaluations showed that the mass was composed of an endophytic growth consisting of numerous long papillary projections of hyperplastic stratified squamous epithelium supported by thin fibrovascular stalks. Typical features of squamous cell carcinoma with disorganized cell growth and infiltration of surrounding tissues were detectable within the mass. Inverted papilloma progressing to carcinoma was diagnosed. Follow-up examination showed that no local recurrence was present during the 12-month follow-up period. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report describing the inverted papilloma in the horse and, due to its progression to squamous cell carcinoma, warns about the inclusion of the inverted papilloma in the differential diagnosis of conjunctival neoplasm and driven treatments.

Demostrar la importancia de la Tomografía computarizada (TC) y Resonancia Magnética (RM) en el diagnóstico, extensión y seguimiento de los pacientes con papiloma invertido (PI). Paciente femenino de 64 años, con antecedentes de sinusitis alérgica recurrente, que consulta por obstrucción nasal bilateral a predominio izquierdo, asociada a rinorrea purulenta y rinolalia de cinco meses de evolución. Se le realiza TC y RM de Macizo Cráneo facial (MCF). La TC demuestra formación de densidad de partes blandas ubicada en fosa nasal y seno maxilar derecho que se extiende hacia celdillas etmoidales bilaterales, seno frontal y seno esfenoidal derecho. La RM evidencia lesión expansiva sólida ubicada sobre seno maxilar derecho, que se extiende excavando la pared interna del mismo hacia fosa nasal homolateral. El PI es una neoplasia nasal que se caracteriza por su crecimiento invertido hacia el estroma. Es un tumor benigno que presenta una incidencia anual del 1 % promedio por cada 100.000 habitantes. La TC es el método imagenológico de elección para el diagnóstico de PI, siendo también útil en la valoración de la extensión en la fase preoperatoria. El diagnóstico de certeza lo determina la histopatología. La RM representa un método de gran utilidad en el seguimiento postoperatorio. AbstractDemonstrating the importance of Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance (MRI) in the diagnosis, extension and follow-up of patients with inverted papilloma (IP) of a 64-year-old female patient with a history of recurrent allergic sinusitis who consults for bilateral nasal obstruction and left predominance associated with purulent rhinorrhea and rhinolalia of five months of evolution. CT and MRI of CranioFacial Massif (CFM) were performed. CT demonstrated soft tissue density formation located in the nasal fossa and right maxillary sinus extending to bilateral ethmoidal cells, frontal sinus and right sphenoid sinus. MRI showed solid expansive lesion located on the right maxillary sinus, extending through its inner wall to the homolateral nasal fossa. IP is a nasal neoplasm that is characterized by its inverse growth towards the stroma. It is a benign tumor that presents an annual incidence of 1% average per 100,000 inhabitants. CT is the imaging method of choice for the diagnosis of IP, and it is also useful in assessing extension in the preoperative phase. A thorough diagnosis is determined by histopathology. MRI represents a very useful method in postoperative follow-up.

Introduction Isolated Sphenoid Sinusitis and sinus lesions is a rare entity accounting for just 1-3% of all Sinus afflictions. Most have occurred in men between the ages of 30 and 40 years. Case Report A case of right sphenoid sinus mucocele is reported in a male patient aged 68 years, with size of the lesion (35 x 34 mm) detected by CT & MRI scans. The patient presented with a 3 weeks history of unilateral ptosis, diplopia, and photophobia. He also complained of bilateral nasal obstruction, nasal stuffiness, and a mucoid nasal discharge. Endoscopic decompression of the right sphenoid sinus was performed, and approximately 160 ml of thick, sterile mucoid secretion was aspirated. Despite the size of the mucocele, no significant destruction of the sphenoid walls was evident. Postoperatively within 15 days the patient's symptoms improved significantly. Conclusion The Nasal Endoscope has revolutionised sphenoid sinus mucocele treatment. An adequate sphenoidotomy and drainage give excellent results.

Background: The clinical presentation of sphenoid sinus meningoencephaloceles (MEC) may have insidious onset and evolution. Contemporary treatment incorporates endoscopic resection via the endonasal route.Case description: We present a case of 3 year old girl who had been complaining of permanent nasal discharge, impeded nasal breathing and difficulty with feeding since she was 5 months old. There was no history of rhinoliquorrhea. Pre-operative magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated MEC that extended from the sellar region through the non-pneumatized sphenoid sinus to the nasopharynx. The lesion was resected via endoscopic endonasal approach. Follow-up rhinoscopy confirmed the absence of post-operative cerebrospinal fluid leak.Conclusion: Endoscopic endonasal approach can be an effective and a safe treatment option for resection of congenital transsphenoidal MEC in early childhood.Keywords: Sphenoid sinus; endoscopic endonasal approach; meningoencephalocele; CSF leak; congenital.

A 51-year-old woman with headache was referred to our hospital. She had a history of endonasal pituitary surgery 22 years prior and hypertension 10 years prior. The endonasal transsphenoidal pituitary approach was performed via microscopic transseptal approach. Nasal endoscopy revealed whitish cystic wall protruded from the right sphenoid sinus. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery was performed under general anesthesia. After incision of the right sphenoid ostium, yellowish mucoid discharge in the right sphenoid sinus was pushed out from the sphenoid sinus. Histopathology confirmed fungal ball in the sphenoid sinus, which is consistent with aspergillosis sinus. The presence of fungal ball and mucocele are rarely reported, but mucocele and fungal ball found after pituitary surgery are the first and therefore unique in this case.

Abstract Background There has been a rapid rise in the number of COVID-19-associated rhino-orbital mucormycosis (CAROM) cases especially in South Asian countries, to an extent that it has been considered an epidemic among the COVID-19 patients in India. As of May 13, 2021, 101 CAROM cases have been reported, of which 82 cases were from India and 19 from the rest of the world. On the other hand, pulmonary mucormycosis associated with COVID-19 has a much lesser reported incidence of only 7% of the total COVID-19-associated mucormycosis cases (Singh AK, Singh R, Joshi SR, Misra A, Diab Metab Syndr: Clin Res Rev, 2021). This case report attempts to familiarize the health care professionals and radiologists with the imaging findings that should alarm for follow-up and treatment in the lines of CAROM. Case presentation Rhino-orbital mucormycosis (ROM) is a manifestation of mucormycosis that is thought to be acquired by inhalation of fungal spores into the paranasal sinuses. Here, we describe a 55-year-old male, post COVID-19 status with long standing diabetes who received steroids and ventilator therapy for the management of the viral infection. Post discharge from the COVID-19 isolation ICU, the patient complained of grayish discharge from the right nostril and was readmitted to the hospital for the nasal discharge. After thorough radiological and pathological investigation, the patient was diagnosed with CAROM and managed. Conclusion Uncontrolled diabetes and imprudent use of steroids are both contributing factors in the increased number of CAROM cases. Our report emphasizes on the radiological aspect of CAROM and reinforces the importance of follow-up imaging in post COVID-19 infection cases with a strong suspicion of opportunistic infections.
