Respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma of the nose: An updated review.
CONCLUSION: Looking for REAH on CT scans and during endoscopic examination can lead to its diagnosis and help avoid aggressive surgical procedures and their complications. Endoscopic resection is the treatment of choice. The removal of REAH constitutes a specific surgery on the olfactory clefts, which can improve nasal obstruction as well as sense of smell. Whether REAH can be defined as a hamartoma, an inflammatory reactive process, or a neoplastic lesion remains to be determined.

Objective and subjective evaluation of operation success in patients with nasal septal deviation based on septum type.
CONCLUSION: Patients with septal deviation types 2, 4, and 6 benefited most from septal surgery. These deviation types yielded higher levels of postoperative amelioration and patient satisfaction in terms of quality of life.

Influence of chronic sinusitis and nasal polyp on the lower airway of subjects without lower airway diseases.
CONCLUSIONS: CT findings suggesting chronic sinusitis and nasal polyp were associated with subclinical lower airway flow limitation even in the absence of underlying lung disease.

Objective radiographic density measurements of sinus opacities are not strong predictors of noninvasive fungal disease.
CONCLUSION: Higher average HU more accurately predicts allergic fungal mucin whereas heterogeneity/high-density components more accurately predict fungal balls. No objective radiographic density measure, in isolation, is both sensitive and specific in predicting noninvasive fungal sinusitis.

Markers of increased aeration in the paranasal sinuses and along the skull base: Association between anatomic variants.
CONCLUSION: The markers of increased pneumatization and anatomic associations identified in this study have important implications for surgeons planning and undertaking operative approaches in and around the sinuses.

Do sinus computed tomography findings predict olfactory dysfunction and its postoperative recovery in chronic rhinosinusitis patients?
CONCLUSION: Our results can give support to the combined use of the butanol threshold and sinonasal CT findings in the evaluation of olfaction in CRS patients and help us counsel the patients about the likelihood of postoperative olfactory recovery.

Septic cavernous sinus thrombosis secondary to acute bacterial sinusitis: A retrospective study of seven cases.
CONCLUSION: The combination of high-dose i.v. antibiotics, anticoagulation therapy, and endoscopic drainage of the infected paranasal sinus is an effective strategy for the treatment of SCST, but long-term sequelae remain frequent.

Modeling alterations in sinonasal physiology after skull base surgery.
CONCLUSION: CFD simulations on virtual surgery models are able to reasonably detect changes in airflow patterns in the computer-generated nasal models. In addition, each patient's unique anatomy influences the magnitude and direction of these changes after virtual EESBS. Once future studies can reliably correlate CFD parameters with patient symptoms, CFD will be a useful clinical tool in surgical planning and maximizing patient outcomes.

Clustering of chronic rhinosinusitis symptomatology reveals novel associations with objective clinical and demographic characteristics.
CONCLUSION: Variability in SNOT-22 scores from CRS patients may be explained by the independent presence of sleep, nasal, otologic, and emotional function symptoms, with which we find novel clinical and demographic associations. These findings may represent clinical evidence for distinct pathophysiologic processes that differentially cause specific CRS symptomatology.

The use of image-guidance during transsphenoidal pituitary surgery in the United States.
CONCLUSIONS: CT-assisted surgery is associated with a lower rate of CSF leak, shorter length of stay, and lower cost compared with patients without image guidance. Further studies that control for severity and extent of disease are warranted to confirm this finding.

Higher antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (C-ANCA) titers are associated with increased overall healthcare use in patients with sinonasal manifestations of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA).
CONCLUSION: Sinonasal GPA patients with presenting C-ANCA titers more than or equal to 1:80 demonstrated significantly greater overall healthcare use than their lower C-ANCA level counterparts (less than 1:80). However, no significant differences in otolaryngology resource use or LM scores were evident between the two titer groups.

Volumetric analysis of chronic maxillary atelectasis.
CONCLUSIONS: Volumetric analysis is a powerful and novel method for objectively demonstrating the degree of orbit expansion and maxillary sinus contraction seen with CMA. Spontaneous maxillary sinus expansion and a decrease in orbit volume can occur after ESS, but post-ESS volumes do not return to the normal volume of the CS.
