Turbinate osteoma is very rare and only three middle turbinate cases have been previously reported in the literature. A case of superior turbinate osteoma has never been reported before. This is a report of a 61-year-old female presenting superior turbinate osteoma with headaches. The osteoma was resected by endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) and the patient was relieved of headaches.

A 36-year-old woman presented with severe frontal headache, fever, left palpebral swelling, and proptosis. Radiographic studies showed a giant frontoethmoidal osteoma, that extended intracranially into the frontal lobe and was associated with two abscesses, one within the lesion and the other in the right frontal lobe. The tumour was excised and the abscesses drained. The patient made a full recovery.

Osteomas are slow growing bony tumours that may form in the sinuses of the skull. Presenting complaints include headaches, cerebral symptoms, or visual disturbances, depending on the site of the tumour. We describe an unusual case of an osteoma in the ethmoid sinus that recurred 5 years after its resection at another hospital. The patient presented with proptosis, epiphora, and headaches. We approached the lesion and removed it through a lateral nasal incision. Two years later the patient was free of symptoms.

Osteomas of the paranasal sinuses are slow-growing, benign tumours most frequently found in the frontal sinus with an incidence that varies from 47% to 80% of the cases; there are often no symptoms and they are diagnosed by chance during an X-ray examination. When there are symptoms, they are usually headaches and ocular or neurological complications. The treatment of choice is surgery. A case of frontal osteoma complicated by frontal sinusitis and by a palpebral abscess is described.

Osteomas of the paranasal sinuses are slow-growing, benign tumours most frequently found in the frontal sinus with an incidence that varies from 47% to 80% of the cases; there are often no symptoms and they are diagnosed by chance during an x-ray examination. The symptoms are usually headaches and those secondary to ocular or neurological complications. The therapy to be preferred is surgery. The authors describe a case of frontal osteoma complicated by frontal sinusitis and palpebral abscess.

We report a patient with a intracranial subdural osteoma with a large cortical vein passing through the subdural calcified mass. A 60-year-old man presented with an approximately 3-year history of persistent headache. Computerized tomography (CT) scanning showed a homogeneous high-density nodule attached to the inner surface of the right frontal skull. Intraoperatively, the hard mass was found to be located in the intradural subarachnoid space. A large cortical vein passed through the subdural mass and was anastomosed in an end-to-end fashion after the excision of the segment involved by the tumor. The histopathologic examination showed lamellated bony trabeculae lined by osteoblasts and the underlying dura was uninvolved by the tumor cells.

Intracranial mucocele is rare. They are slow-growing lesions and usually form as a result of an obstruction of the paranasal sinuses, particularly by osteoma, fibrosis, trauma, previous surgery or inflammation. The effect of pregnancy in the development of intracranial mucocele is unclear. We report a pregnant patient who was admitted to our clinic with severe headache and diplopia. A giant mucocele in the right frontal lobe was detected on magnetic resonance imaging. The patient underwent surgery with satisfactory outcome.

Osteomas are relatively common, benign, slow-growing, often asymptomatic neoplasms of the paranasal sinuses, occurring mainly in frontal and ethmoid sinuses. Surgical removal is done if they extend beyond the boundaries of the sinus, keep enlarging, are localised in the region adjacent to the nasofrontal duct, or if signs of chronic sinusitis are present and, irrespective of their size, in symptomatic tumours. Progressive headaches and chronic inflammation of the adjacent mucous membrane are most common symptoms. Endoscopic surgery plays an important role in management of ethmoid, sphenoid and frontal osteomas. Aim. The aim of the paper was to report own experience in endoscopic treatment of patients with osteomas of the paranasal sinuses. Material and methods. 6 patients with osteomas of paranasal sinuses were included in the group, mean age 36 years (range 15-52). Most common involvement was ethmoid cells (3). There were also patients with frontal, maxillary and sphenoid osteoma. All tumours were removed under endoscopic giudance. Frontoethmoidectomy was performed to remove ethmoid and frontal osteomas. Antrotomy was used in case of maxillary involvement and sphenoethmoidectomy in the patient with sphenoid sinus osteoma. Sphenoid sinus was approached through its anterior wall with a Stammberger punch. All the tumours were removed using fine forceps. Results. No post-operative complications were observed. No recurrences were noted. All patients remain asymptomatic. Conclusions. Resection of small and medium size osteomas of the paranasal sinuses can be safely and radically performed using endoscopic techniques. It allows their radical resection and very good cosmetic effects.

There are many temporomandibular joint (TMJ) conditions that can cause pain, TMJ and jaw dysfunction, and disability. The most common of these conditions include: (1) articular disk dislocation; (2) reactive arthritis; (3) adolescent internal condylar resorption; (4) condylar hyperplasia; (5) osteochondroma or osteoma; and (6) end-stage TMJ pathology. These conditions are often associated with dentofacial deformities, malocclusion, TMJ pain, headaches, myofascial pain, TMJ and jaw functional impairment, ear symptoms, etc. Patients with these conditions may benefit from corrective surgical intervention. Open joint surgery provides direct access to the TMJ allowing manipulation, repair, removal and/or reconstruction of the anatomical structures that cannot be accomplished by other treatment methods. TMJ surgery and orthognathic surgery can be predictably performed during one operation with high success rates. This paper discusses the most common TMJ pathologies and presents the surgical management considerations to correct the specific TMJ conditions and associated jaw deformities.

A 39-year old female was referred with a 2 year history of slowly progressive headache, exophthalmos, diplopia and restricted eye movements with exotropia of the right eye. Orthoptic examination revealed restricted elevation and mildly restricted adduction of the right eye. CT and MRI demonstrated a large (35 x 20 x 23 mm) calcified infraorbital lesion extending into the ethmoidal sinus. Because the visual field defects were progressive and the acuity OD dropped to 20/80 surgical intervention was necessary. The osteoma was successfully removed using an inferior and medial orbitotomy with swinging eyelid combined with an endoscopic approach. In a second procedure the orbital floor was reconstructed with a porous polyethylene (Medpor) implant. A final procedure consisted of a 3 mm recession of the left superior rectus muscle and infundibulotomy by the sinus surgeon to open the blocked maxillary sinus. After 6 months visual acuity OD had returned to 20/20. Orthoptic examination showed normal binocular function.
