OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prognosis of Draf II b surgery in treating fontal sinus inverted papilloma. METHOD: A retrospective study was carried out among 15 patients diagnosed as fontal sinus inverted papilloma, which had underwent endoscopic Draf II b surgery. The clinical success rate and surgical success rate were calculated by survival analysis. RESULT: In all patients, there were 1 (6.67%) recurrence,1 (6.67%) stenosis, 4 (26.67)% complete closure, and 1 (6.67%) mucocele cyst. The 3-year clinical success rate was 93.3%, and the 3-year surgical success rate was 65.0%. CONCLUSION Draf II b surgery is feasible when the frontal sinus inverted papilloma is involved in the area of the pupil center line, and the frontal neo-ostium stenosis or complete closure is a common complication after surgery. Thus a close follow-up is recommended during the first year after the surgery. Further study is necessary to find a better way to reduce the complication rate.

A patient diagnosed with myoepithelial carcinoma was recently treated in our department. The neoplasm was huge, located in the left maxillofacial region, blocking both eyes, impeding feeding. About one month before admission, the tumor began to bleed frequently, about 100 ml each time, causing headache, dizziness, fatigue, and cold sweats. CT showed the maximum diameter of the tumor was about 23 cm, with uneven density, and maxillofacial bone destruction. MRI revealed internal bleeding and necrosis inside the tumor. After admission, blood routine test showed erythrocyte count 3.64 x 10(12)/L(↓), hemoglobin 106 g/L(↓), hematocrit 0.320 (↓), serum iron 6.2 μmol/L(↓). After surgery, the patient recovered smoothly.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical features, therapeutic methods and therapeutic efficacy of imflammatory myofibroblastic tumor(IMT)of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. METHOD: Clinical data of 14 cases diagnosed as IMT by pathology were retrospectively analyzed. There were 8 males and 6 females,age ranging from 18 to 77 years. 12 cases of them were treated by surgery while 2 cases received postoperative radiotherapy. RESULT: All cases were operated. All the patients were followed up for a period of 1 to 7 years after operation and two cases were proved low grade IMT pathologically. Eight cases survived with no recurrence until the last follow-up and 6 cases relapsed, of which 4 cases died and 2 were alive with tumor. CONCLUSION IMT of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is very rare. The diagonosis of IMT is based on pathology and immunohistochemistry. Proper diagnosis is essential to avoid mutilating and disfiguring surgical procedures. Radical excision is still the first choice of treatment for IMT of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy may not be helpful to prevent recurrence after operation. Due to high recurrence rate, long-term follow up is necessary after operation.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical effect of nasal surgical expansion as basical surgical treatment of patients with OSAHS. METHOD: A total of 320 patients with OSAHS were retrospectively analyzed. The patient was diagnosed by PSG. The electronic nasopharyngolarygnoscope exam airway CT, and MRI were applied to determining the nasal plane block. According to the concrete reasons, the nasal endoscopic nasal septum corrective surgery and open surgery were carried out, respectively. Nasal sinus neoplasm resection of off shoring, inferior turbinate fracture surgery or inferior turbinate back-end 1/3 line expansion and low temperature plasma ablation of nasal surgery, respectively. Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), snore outcome survey (SOS), epworth sleepiness score (ESS), the lowest arterial oxygen saturation (LSaO2) and AHI, time and ratio of slow wave sleep (SWS) stage and rapid eye movement (REM) stage were applied to comparing the curative effect between pre-operation and post-operation periods. RESULT: Snoring, sleep apnea, subjective mental symptoms of all patients with OSAHS were improved after operation; PSQI, SOS and ESS score were improved compared to pretreatment (P < 0.05); according to the 2009 OSAHS diagnosis and curative effect evaluation standard, 38 cases cured, 189 cases had obvious effect, 93 cases effective, and the total effective rate was 100%; there was statistical difference between the pre-operative period and 6 months post-operative in PSQI, SOS and ESS, LSaO2, AHI and proportion of REM (P < 0.05); sleep structure was improved, time and proportion of SWS were increased after the operation (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Solving the problem of nasal airway obstruction is the first step in surgical treatment of patients with OSAHS.

Kaino-sinus syndrome is one new complication of endoscopic sinus surgery. The patient had an operation of endoscopic surgery, because he was suffered from an illness of frontal nasal inverted papilloma again. After operation he was suffering pain in left epicanthal folds and frontal part, and had dry scab in nasal cavity when he breathed cold air. The symptoms could relieve by blocking prenaris. We found he had a big aperture of frontal sinus and dry scab in nasal endoscopic examination. His symptoms disappeared after cleaning and washing accessory nasal cavity by salt water.

Sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP) is one of the most common benign sinonasal tumors demonstrating a high recurrence rate after surgery, and sometimes presents malignant tendency or coexists squamous cell carcinoma. Therefore, it is essential to achieve complete surgical resection, especially the original location of SNIP. In this paper, we evaluated the predictability of preoperative CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for localization of SNIP origin.
