Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the criteria for selecting surgical approaches for frontal and ethmoid sinus osteomas of different locations and sizes on CT imaging. Methods:Using sagittal and coronal CT images, the following lines were delineated: the F-line(a horizontal line passing nasofrontal beak), the M-line(a vertical line passing paries medialis orbitae), and the P-line(a vertical line passing the center of the pupil). Classification of frontal and ethmoid sinus osteomas was based on their relationship with these lines. Appropriate surgical approaches were selected, including pure endoscopic approaches, endoscopic combined with eyebrow incision approach, and endoscopic combined with coronal incision approach. This method was applied to a single center at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University for endoscopic resection of frontal and ethmoid sinus osteoma. Case Data: Sixteen cases of ethmoid sinus osteomas were treated from January 2020 to September 2023. Among these cases, there were 9 males and 7 females, with ages ranging from 18 to 69 years, and a median age of 48 years. Results:Thirteen cases underwent pure endoscopic resection of the osteoma, while in three cases, a combined approach was utilized. Among the combined approach cases, two exceeded both the M-line and the F-line but did not cross the P-line; therefore, they underwent endoscopic combined with eyebrow incision approach. One case exceeded all three lines and thus underwent endoscopic combined with coronal incision. In all cases, complete resection of the osteoma was achieved as per preoperative planning, and none of the patients experienced significant postoperative complications. Conclusion:For frontal and ethmoid sinus osteomas, it is advisable to perform a thorough preoperative radiological assessment. Based on the size of the osteoma and its relationship to the three lines, an appropriate surgical approach should be chosen to optimize the diagnostic and treatment plan.
目的:探讨在CT影像上不同位置和大小额筛窦骨瘤的手术入路选择标准。 方法:分别在鼻窦矢状位和冠状位CT上选择F线(额嘴水平线)、M线(眶内侧壁线)、P线(瞳孔中心垂直线),根据额筛窦骨瘤和F线、P线、M线的关系进行分类,并选择合适的手术入路(包括单纯内镜入路、内镜联合眉弓切口入路及内镜联合冠状切口入路),2020年1月-2023年9月中山大学附属第三医院收治的16例额筛窦骨瘤患者均应用此方法完成额筛窦骨瘤切除手术,其中男9例,女7例;年龄18~69岁,中位年龄48岁。 结果:16例患者中,13例单纯内镜下切除骨瘤;3例采用联合入路,其中2例超越M线及F线且未过P线者采用内镜联合眉弓切口入路,余1例超越三线者采用内镜联合冠状切口入路。患者的骨瘤均按照术前设计得到完整切除,术后均未发生明显并发症。 结论:额筛窦骨瘤术前建议影像学上仔细评估,根据骨瘤的大小及三线的位置关系,选择合适手术入路,优化诊疗方案。.
