Abstract

This study was retrospectively conducted to evaluate the postoperative surgical results of our patients with anterior skull base mass, defect, and/or cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea who underwent reconstruction via endoscopic endonasal approach and to share our experiences. Sociodemographic features of patients who had undergone endoscopic surgery in our clinic due to anterior skull base mass, defect, or rhinorrhea were evaluated in terms of etiological factors, surgical method, pathology, postoperative complications, need for revision surgery and comorbid disease. A total of 131 patients were included; 76 were male and mean age was 36.2 years. Endoscopic endonasal surgery was performed for nasal mass (70.2%) in 92 cases, rhinorrhea (17.6%) in 23 cases, chronic sinusitis (7.6%) in 10 cases, and gunshot injury (4.6%) in 6 cases. After surgery, benign mass pathology was detected in 75 patients and malignant mass pathology was detected in 23 patients. Osteoma was the most common among benign formations, and squamous cell carcinoma was the most common among malignant formations. The most common cause of surgical revision was nasal masses (25 cases, 77.4%). Endoscopic intracranial interventions and increased anterior skull base surge...Continue Reading
