Objective:
The authors analyzed the clinical characteristics and treatment results of capillary and cavernous hemangiomas in the nasal cavity.
Patients And Methods:
A total of 14 patients who underwent surgical treatment for sinonasal hemangiomas between January 2010 and May 2020 were analyzed. The study population was subdivided into capillary and cavernous hemangiomas groups.
Results:
The 14 patients with sinonasal hemangiomas involved 8 (57.1%) capillary hemangiomas and 6 (42.9%) cases of cavernous hemangioma. Clinical features, such as age, gender, medical condition, symptom, duration of symptom, size and site of sinonasal hemangiomas, surgery, anesthesia method, treatment outcomes, and recurrence of capillary and cavernous hemangiomas of nasal cavity showed no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05). A case of relapse involving a patient with cavernous hemangioma of vestibule was observed without recurrence after reoperation.
Conclusion:
The comparison of clinical features of capillary and cavernous hemangiomas of nasal cavity showed no statistical significance. Transnasal endoscopic tumor removal including the surrounding structure is a safe and effective procedure for sinonasal hemangiomas.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
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...
