Sinus mucoceles are benign, slowly enlarging, mucous-secreting, cystic lesions whose expansile growth may lead to compressive neuropathies. We present the case of a 70-year-old woman with a long-standing history of headaches and progressive ocular neuropathy who underwent an endoscopic resection of a large sphenoid sinus mucocele resulting in immediate improvement of her neurological symptoms. The endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach offers a minimally invasive method to manage and treat symptomatic sinus mucoceles...

Although schwannomas are frequently found in the head and neck region, sinonasal tract involvement is extremely rare, especially those of the frontal sinus. We report a patient with an incidentally found right frontal sinus lesion. The patient underwent resection of the tumor via a right craniotomy. The histological diagnosis was consistent with a schwannoma. There has been no radiographic recurrence on 2-year follow-up.

Skull base metastases are rare conditions. Usually breast or prostate cancers are responsible primary tumors. Definite diagnosis can only be obtained through biopsies. We report the first case of breast cancer metastases into left occipital condyle, which was biopsied successfully through radical extended mastoidectomy under computer-assisted intraoperative navigation. This access proved to be feasible and safe, and enough material could be obtained for histological examination. According to the result, optimal adjuvant treatment strategies could be planned...

Lesions of the lower clivus represent a technically challenging subset of skull base disease that requires careful treatment. A 75-year-old woman with tongue atrophy was referred for resection of a presumed clival chordoma. The lesion was resected via an endoscopic transnasal transclival approach with no complications. Pathology revealed only chronic inflammatory tissue consistent with a degenerative pannus. Degenerative pannus should be included in the differential diagnosis of lower clival extradural lesions...

Dermoid cysts are rare congenital intracranial tumors. Among these tumors, extradural localization is extremely rare. We report a patient with an extradural dermoid cyst of the right parasellar region, causing right visual disturbance. Computed tomography revealed a hypodense mass lesion with rimlike calcification at the right parasellar region, accompanying marked erosion of the adjacent skull base. The tumor appeared as a heterogeneous intensity on magnetic resonance imaging and was surrounded by thin gadolinium enhancement without inner enhancement...
