Endoscopic Endonasal Trans-sphenoidal Approach: Minimally Invasive Surgery for Pituitary Adenomas
Published on: January 17, 2018
Haemangioma of maxillary sinus
Summary
Nasal hemangiomas are common, but those originating in the paranasal sinuses are rare. This case report highlights the infrequent occurrence of paranasal sinus hemangiomas in medical literature.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Head and Neck Surgery
- Pathology
Background:
- Hemangiomas are common benign vascular tumors.
- Nasal hemangiomas are frequently encountered.
- Paranasal sinus hemangiomas are exceptionally rare.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a rare case of hemangioma originating from the paranasal sinuses.
- To contribute to the limited existing literature on this rare entity.
Main Methods:
- Case presentation of a patient with paranasal sinus hemangioma.
- Review of relevant medical literature.
Main Results:
- The patient presented with symptoms attributed to the rare paranasal sinus hemangioma.
- This case adds to the scarce documented instances of this condition.
Conclusions:
- Paranasal sinus hemangiomas, while rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
- Further case reports are valuable for understanding this uncommon tumor.

01:19Veins of Head and Neck
The blood drainage from the head and neck is primarily managed by three pairs of veins: the external jugular, internal jugular, and vertebral veins. The external jugular veins drain superficial scalp and face structures, passing over the sternocleidomastoid muscles to empty into the subclavian veins.
On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...

01:26Arteries of the Head and Neck
The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...

01:28Physical Assessment of the Respiratory Tract I: Health History
Physical assessment of the respiratory tract is critical to patient care. It allows healthcare professionals to identify and manage various respiratory conditions. The process involves a combination of subjective and objective data collection.
Subjective Data
Subjective data provides vital information about the patient's health history and symptoms. This data is typically collected through interviews in which patients describe their experiences, symptoms, and concerns.
