Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

7.6K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Nose and Nasal Cavity01:24

Nose and Nasal Cavity

13.4K
The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. This structure is supported by the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillary bone and is supplemented by a cartilaginous framework comprising the septal nasal cartilage, lateral nasal...

Anatomy of Respiratory System I: Upper Respiratory Tract

5.8K
The upper respiratory tract plays a vital role in the respiratory system, comprising several structures that facilitate air intake and prepare air for the lungs. It also serves as the first line of defense against pathogens and particles. This tract includes the nose and nasal cavity, the oral cavity, the paranasal sinuses, and the pharynx, each with specific functions and features.
Nose and nasal cavity
The nose and nasal cavity represent the main external openings of the respiratory tract....

Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure01:03

Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure

12.4K
The process of olfaction, also known as the sense of smell, is a sophisticated chemical response system. The specialized sensory neurons that facilitate this process, known as olfactory receptor neurons, are situated in an upper segment of the nasal cavity, known as the olfactory epithelium. Olfactory sensory neurons are bipolar, with their dendrites extending from the epithelium's apex into the mucus that lines the nasal cavity. Airborne molecules, when inhaled, traverse the olfactory...

Accessory Structures of the Eye01:17

Accessory Structures of the Eye

4.1K
Optical perception, or vision, is an extraordinary sense dependent on converting light signals received via the ocular organs. These organs, known as eyes, are securely positioned within the bony cavities of the skull, called orbits. The orbits serve a dual purpose: a protective shield for the ocular globes and a stable attachment point for the soft ocular tissues. The eye's external protective mechanisms include the eyelids, which are edged with lashes that act as a barrier against foreign...

Drugs Used in Upper Respiratory Disorders: Overview01:16

Drugs Used in Upper Respiratory Disorders: Overview

805
Upper respiratory tract disorders, including viral infections and allergic rhinitis, cause significant discomfort and disrupt daily life. Managing these conditions involves a variety of drugs, such as antihistamines, intranasal steroids, decongestants, antitussives, expectorants, and mucolytics. Specific examples of drugs in each category are provided.
Antihistamines (e.g., Benadryl) block histamines from binding. Histamines are chemicals released during an allergic reaction in the body. As a...

Summary

Sinonasal diseases can affect the orbit, causing symptoms like proptosis and vision loss. Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis and mucormycosis were common diagnoses in patients with orbital involvement.

Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Sinonasal diseases can extend to the orbit, leading to proptosis, ophthalmoplegia, and optic nerve damage.
  • Orbital involvement signifies potentially aggressive sinonasal pathologies requiring careful management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify diagnoses in patients with co-existing sinonasal and orbital diseases.
  • To analyze management strategies and outcomes for these complex cases.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study of 100 consecutive patients with orbital and sinonasal symptoms.
  • Utilized CT/MRI scans and ophthalmological consultations.
  • Final diagnoses confirmed by histopathology after excluding primary orbital pathologies.

Main Results:

  • Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (37%) and mucormycosis (17%) were the most frequent diagnoses.
  • Proptosis was the most common orbital symptom (81 patients), followed by diplopia and ophthalmoplegia.
  • Various other malignancies and rare pathologies were also identified.

Conclusions:

  • Orbital involvement in sinonasal disease often indicates an aggressive pathology.
  • Conditions like acute fulminant and chronic invasive fungal rhinosinusitis are particularly challenging to treat.
