Chronic invasive fungal sinusitis (CIFS) is a relatively rare disease which occurs in immunocompetent or immunocompromised patients. We report a case of CIFS in ethmoid sinus with concurrent fungal ball in maxillary sinus. After surgical debridement and antifungal therapy, CIFS recurred with submucosal invasion in nasopharynx and osteomyelitis of clivus. Although CIFS encompasses a slowly progressing invasive fungal disease but potentially aggressive. It should be noted that CIFS could progress and extend through submucosal route without evidence of mucosal lesion.

Craniocerebral gunshot injuries is gradually increasing in the civilian population with a worse prognosis than closed head trauma. We experienced a case of craniocerebral gunshot injury which a bullet penetrating from the submandibular area into the clivus of a patient. The patient did not show any symptom. However, serial laboratory findings showed an increase in blood lead level. We removed foreign bodies without any problems using an endoscopic transnasal transclival approach. Due to the extremely low frequency, guidelines for definitive management of gunshot injuries have not been presented in Korea yet. We introduce our surgical experience of a craniocerebral gunshot injury with an unusual approach for removing intracranial foreign bodies.

본 연구는 연령 증가에 따른 구순구개열자의 두개저 성장 특징과 비상악복합체 및 하악골의 위치 변화와의 상관관계를 알아보고자 시행되었다. 교정치료 및 악정형적 치료의 경험이 없는 100명의 완전 편측성 구순구개열 남녀와 악골부조화가 없으며 교정치료, 악정형적 치료 및 악교정 수술의 경험이 없는 100명의 정상 남녀를 선정하고, 이들을 접형사골연골결합 성장기, 접형후두연골결합 성장기 그리고,연골결합 성장종료기의 세 연령집단으로 구분하였다. 이들의 측모두부규격방사선사진을 연령별로 비교하여 두개저와 비상악복합체 및 하악골 위치와의 관계를 비교하였고 이를 통해 완전 편측성 구순구개열자가 정상인에 비하여 다음과 같은 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 1. 완전 편측성 구순구개열군에서 사춘기 시기까지 사대 길이 및 두께가 작게 나타났고, 사대 길이의 사춘기 시기 증가량 또한 정상군 보다 작게 나타났다. 두개저 전방 길이 및 사대의 연령에 따른 회전 양상은 정상군과 차이가 없었다. 2. 완전 편측성 구순구개열군에서 비상악복합체는 모든 연령에서 정상군 보다 후방 위치를 보였고, 특히 성장이 활발한 사춘기 시기까지 정상군과의 차이가 보다 크게 나타났다. 반면 수직적 위치는 정상군과 차이가 없었다. 이와 같은 비상악복합체의 전방 성장 결여는 두개저 형태와 깊은 상관관계를 나타내었다. 또한 상악골 자체의 후방성장을 나타내는 PtmS은 정상군과 달리 연령에 따른 증가량이 작아 상악결절부의 성장 결여를 나타내었다. 3. 완전 편측성 구순구개열군에서 하악골은 정상군과 차이가 적었으나, Articular angle이 정상군 보다 매우 작게 나타났고, 하악골 위치와 비상악복합체 및 두개저 계측 항목간에 높은 상관관계를 보였다.

Chordoma is a rare, clinically and morphologically well characterized tumor, which arises from remnants of the notochord, The majority(60%) occurs in the sacrococcygeal region, with 25% in the clival legion, and 15% in the spine. Although most chordomas do not develop metastasis, the long term prognosis is very poor due to local progressive tumor growth and tendency to recur if incompletely excised. The chordoma has characteristic cytologic features which make a preoperative diagnosis possible. We reviewed the cytologic findings of five patients with chordoma(one oropharynx, two clivus, and two sacrum). The patients were three male and two female, aged from 29 to 77 years(mean 60). Of five chordomas, there were local recurrences in two cases and metastasis of lymph node In one case. Four were FNA smears and one was squash smear taken from intraoperative consultation. All five cases show similar cytologic features. The dominating tumor cells were large with round nuclei and pale-stained vacuolated cytoplasm. The small round uniform cells and short spindle-shaped cells were frequently noted. The cells were surrounded by myxoid or mucoid matrix. The chordoma has characteristic cytologic features which make a preoperative diagnosis possible.

An osteolytic lesion with a small central area of mineralization and sclerotic borders was discovered incidentally in the clivus on the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) of a 27-year-old male patient. This benign appearance indicated a primary differential diagnosis of non-aggressive lesions such as fibro-osseous lesions and arrested pneumatization. Further, on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the lesion showed a homogenously low T1 signal intensity with mild internal enhancement after post-gadolinium and a heterogeneous T2 signal intensity. These signal characteristics might be attributed to the fibrous tissues, chondroid matrix, calcific material, or cystic component of the lesion; thus, chondroblastoma and chondromyxoid fibroma were added to the differential diagnosis. Although this report was limited by the lack of final diagnosis and the patient lost to follow-up, the incidental skull base finding would be important for interpreting the entire volume of CBCT by a qualified oral and maxillofacial radiologist.

Skull base osteoradionecrosis(ORN)is a rare complication of radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, but is one of the most severe and possibly fatal condition followed by radiotherapy. However, the treatment of skull base ORN has seldom been thoroughly described yet. Here we report a case of skull base ORN that was successfully treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy(HBO). A 52-year-old man visited our department complaining of trismus and foul odor. He was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer with multiple lymph node metastasis one year ago and underwent concurrent chemoradiotherapy. On the physical examination, mucopus and crusts with exposed necrotic bone was seen in the right nasopharynx. On the paranasal sinus magnetic resonance imaging, osteoradionecrosis which was extending from the right nasopharynx to the clivus, petrous apex, and cavernous sinus was noted. Nasopharynx biopsy resulted of ulcer with no malignant cells. HBO therapy was performed with debridement of nasopharynx for 3 months. There was no sign of recurrence or residual ORN 18 months after HBO therapy.

Patient with complaints of swelling, pain in the maxillaly region and discomfort visited Seoul National University Dental Hospital in August last year. Clinical examination and diagnostic imagings implied he was suffered from fungal hyphal infection but no causative fungus was found by the histopathologic and microbiologic investigation. Therefore he was diagnosed with nonspecific inflammation. But as yet, we do think this case is very similar to some kinds of mucormycosis. So we presented this case for more thorough discussion.Followings are founded in the examination. 1. Patient had suffered from Diabetes mellitus and complained of stuffness, headache, swelling in buccal cheeks and paresthesia And we found more maxillary bony destruction and ulcer with elevated margin in the palate by clinical examination. 2. In the first visit, Plain films revealed general bony destruction of the maxilla, radiopaqueness in the sinonasal cavities. or and MRI showed soft tissue mass filled in the paranasal sinus except frontal sinus and bony destruction in involved bones. 3. No causative bacteria and fungus was found in the biopsy and microbiologic cultures. 4. Caldwell-Luc operation and curettage were carried and antJbiotics were taken for 4 months. But now he was worse than in the past 5. In the second visit, involvement of orbit, parapharyngeal sinus, clivus, cavernous sinus and middle cranial fossa were seen clearly in the or and MRI.

Background: Treatment of skull base tumors is challenging due to limited access and presence of important neurovascular structures nearby. The success of a complete tumor resection depends on the extent of tumor exposure and secure field of view. While these tumors are often removed by transcranial endoscopic access, transfacial approach is sometimes required depending on the location and size of the tumor. This study describes various transfacial approaches in patients undergoing skull base tumor resection. Methods: From March to November 2013, 15 patients underwent skull base tumor resection via transfacial accesses at a tertiary institution. Data were reviewed for patient demographics, type of access used, completeness of tumor resection, surgical outcome, and postoperative complications. Results: Two clivus tumor patients underwent transmaxillary approach; three tuberculum-sellae and suprasellar-hypothalamus tumor patients underwent transbasal approach; three clinoid and retrobulbar intraconal orbital tumor patients underwent orbitozygomatic approach; and seven petroclival-area, pons, cavernous sinus, and lateral-sphenoid-wing tumor patients underwent zygomatic approach. In all cases, the upper and lower margins of the tumor were visible. Complete tumor removal consisted of 10 cases, and partial tumor removal in 5. There were no immediate major complications observed for the transfacial portion of the operations. The overall cosmetic results were satisfactory. Conclusion: Plastic surgeons can use various transfacial approaches according to the location and size of skull base tumors to secure a sufficient field of view for neurosurgeons.
