In Reply Lin and Sol refer to some limitations in our study. First we fully agree that the study, as every study, has its limitations. They assume that facial palsy may influence socioeconomic status and therefore health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We performed additional univariate analyses to explore this assumption. We found no significant associations between facial palsy severity (Sunnybrook score) and socioeconomic status operationalized as income, occupational status, and education. In...

The timely article by Mallen et al in this issue of JAMA Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery is a practical application of telehealth to improve access to otolaryngology care. The goal of the study was to assess the reliability of telehealth in the diagnosis and triage of patients with suspected peritonsillar abscess (PTA). The authors tested the accuracy of PTA diagnosis by providing off-site otolaryngologists with a primary symptom and an oropharyngeal examination obtained using smartphone video...

In Reply In his Letter to the Editor written in response to my article on over-the-counter (OTC) sinonasal medications, Weinberger succinctly addresses the problem of self-directed symptom relief by asking, what is a sinonasal medication? Consciously or unconsciously, the answer to this question drives countless individuals to local pharmacies in a quest for relief of what are perceived as sinus problems. Whether one actually has sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, or another upper respiratory infection...

J Neurol Surg B Skull BaseDOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1713854Sphenoid wing meningiomas are benign tumors that can result in proptosis, visual impairment, and pain. Traditional open surgical approaches are associated with significant morbidity. Transorbital endoscopic surgery has been developed as a minimally invasive approach to gain access to these tumors and address the main presenting symptoms. Case series reporting transorbital endoscopic resection of sphenoid wing meningiomas using combined endonasal,...

J Neurol Surg B Skull BaseDOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1715607 Background Microvascular decompression (MVD) is a common surgical treatment for cranial nerve compression, though cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak is a known complication of this procedure. Bone cement cranioplasty may reduce rates of CSF leak. Objective To compare rates of CSF leak before and after implementation of bone cement cranioplasty for the reconstruction of cranial defects after MVD. Methods Retrospective...

J Neurol Surg B Skull BaseDOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1712179 Objective Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks are the most common complication during endonasal endoscopic transsphenoidal approach (EETSA) and prevention of postoperative CSF leaks is critical. In this study, we report a single surgeon's experience of sellar floor reconstruction using abdominal fat grafts for prevention of postoperative CSF leaks in EETSA for pituitary adenomas. Design This study is presented as case series...

J Neurol Surg B Skull BaseDOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1715561The far lateral approach is used for accessing pathology at the craniovertebral junction but can be complicated by postoperative suboccipital muscle atrophy. In addition to significant cosmetic deformity, this atrophy can lead to head and neck pain and potentially could contribute to cranio-cervical instability. To address this issue, the senior author began using a single myocutaneous flap without a muscle cuff and securing it directly to the...

J Neurol Surg B Skull BaseDOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1715597 Introduction To help diagnose and evaluate the prognosis of pituitary adenoma with cavernous sinus (CS) invasion and guide endonasal endoscopic surgery (EES) assisted by intraoperative navigation (ION) with three-dimensional multimodal imaging (3D-MMI). We propose a classification of CS invasion based on 3D-MMI. Methods We picked some appropriate cases and reconstructed the 3D-MMI and then classified them into 3 grades...

J Neurol Surg B Skull BaseDOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1713937This article reviews the most common locations and natural history of sinonasal carcinomas. It also reviews surgical indications and current evidence regarding adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapies. In the past, orbital clearance was generally done for ethmoid and maxillary cancers, even without a marked neoplastic infiltration; however, such indications have changed in the recent years due to advances in our understanding of the disease, as well...
