xlomafota.13 shared this article with you from Inoreader How I do it: endonasal transcribriform approach for resection of esthesioneuroblastoma Via Latest Results for Acta Neurochirurgica Abstract Background Olfactory neuroblastoma, also known as esthesioneuroblastoma, accounts for only 3–6% of sinonasal malignancies but confers a 40% 5-year overall survival. Method The authors describe techniques for the endonasal, minimally invasive resection of an esthesioneuroblastoma in a 69-year-old man who presented with headaches and anosmia and describe surgical nuances and their effect on adjuvant therapy planning. Conclusion This approach, along with microsurgical techniques, helped increase tumor visualization, improved marginal resection, and reduced surgical risk, which may improve patient outcomes. Multilayered reconstruction with a synthetic dural substitute and creation of a nasoseptal flap were performed to reduce postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leak. View on the web Inoreader.
