    Do Comorbidities Influence Objective and Subjective Recovery Rates of Nasal Polyposis?
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2010) Akarcay, Mustafa; Ekici, Nur; Miman, Murat C.; Firat, Yezdan; Bayindir, Tuba; Selimoglu, Erol
    Objectives: To investigate the clinical and laboratory outcomes both objectively and subjectively in nasal polyposis patients with or without comorbidity (CoM; asthma and allergy). Patients and Methods: Thirty-three nasal polyposis patients (13 women and 20 men) were included into the study. Their mean age was 39.23 +/- 9.13 years. CoM(+) and CoM(-) nasal polyposis patients were compared with each other. Evaluations contained endoscopic nasal examination, acoustic rhinometry, rhinomanometry, visual analog scale score of nasal blockage, olfactory function score, respiratory function test, skin prick tests, and paranasal sinus computed tomography. Results: Recovery was statistically significant in all observed evaluations for endoscopic and radiologic staging, nasal obstruction, and sense of smell compared with the first evaluation in all patients regardless of the subgroups. Although objective measurements of respiratory functions did not show any change, clinical improvement was detected in CoM(+) patients with a decrease of need to their antiasthmatic medical treatment. Conclusions: Results of CoM(+) patients led to no statistical difference when compared with CoM(-) subgroup. When applying predefined nasal polyposis treatment protocol, the polyp patients with CoMs do not need close follow-up compared to the patients without CoMs.

    Endoscopic Removal Technique of a Huge Ethmoido-Orbital Osteoma
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2009) Miman, Murat C.; Bayindir, Tuba; Akarcay, Mustafa; Erdem, Tamer; Selimoglu, Erol
    Osteomas are slow-growing benign tumors of the paranasal sinuses. They originate from the sinus wall and generally fills the sinus cavity. Many osteomas arc asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally on radiographs. The well-circumscribed, dense bony appearance on radiographs is usually diagnostic. Osteomas become symptomatic when they extend to the orbit or cranium. We report a rare case of ethmoido-orbital osteoma. Case reports and a review of the literature concerning osteoma and surgical techniques are presented. Treatment is not recommended in asymptomatic osteomas. If treatment is indicated, external or endoscopic approach can be chosen. The choice of surgical approach depends on the size of the lesion, location, and the experience of the surgeon.
