Background: A heavy burden of cranio-maxillofacial complications may be encountered in corona virus disease-2019 patients due to the associated coagulopathy and inflammatory consequences of the disease. This study aims to describe clinical and radiographic features of these complications in 256 patients who developed 1 or more of the following complications: cavernous sinus thrombosis, osteomyelitis or necrosis of the jaws.

Methods: Clinical assessment of cranial nerve function and general clinical assessment were performed. Imaging techniques used were multi-slice computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and MRI with contrast enhancement.

Results: Thromboembolism of brain and facial blood vessels were associated with inflammation and necrosis. Multi-slice computed tomography/MR angiography showed thrombotic occlusions of the internal carotid artery in the area of the cavernous sinus, and in the ophthalmic veins. Cavernous sinus thrombosis was attributed to coagulopathy and, inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, especially sphenoiditis. A noticeable increase in the size of the cavernous sinus was detected. Compression of the cranial nerves in the cavernous sinus (CS) region causes dysfunction and pathology in the corresponding regions.

Effect of pituitary adenoma consistency on surgical outcomes in patients undergoing endonasal endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery.

Authors:
A Acitores Cancela V Rodríguez Berrocal H Pian Arias J J Díez P Iglesias

Endocrine 2022 Aug 13. Epub 2022 Aug 13.

Department of Endocrinology, Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda, Madrid, Spain.

Background: Most pituitary adenomas (PAs) are considered to have a soft tumor consistency. However, there is a non-negligible percentage (5-13%) of tumors presenting or exhibiting a fibrous consistency that would entail a more difficult and complicated surgical excision with higher surgical morbidity and mortality rates.

Purpose: To analyze the clinical consequences of PA tumor consistency on the surgical outcomes in patients undergoing endonasal endoscopic transsphenoidal (EET) pituitary surgery. Read More

Hybrid surgery for coexistence of cerebral arteriovenous malformation and primitive trigeminal artery: A case report and literature review.

Lesheng Wang Jieli Li Zhengwei Li Songshan Chai Jincao Chen Nanxiang Xiong Bangkun Yang

Front Surg 2022 26;9:888558. Epub 2022 Jul 26.

Department of Neurosurgery, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan, China.

The primitive trigeminal artery (PTA), an abnormal carotid-basilar anastomosis, forms the vascular anomaly connection between the internal carotid artery and vertebrobasilar system. Rarely, PTA can be complicated by several other cerebrovascular disease, including arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), intracranial aneurysms, moyamoya disease, and carotid-cavernous malformations. Herein, we reported a rare case of PTA combined with an AVM in a male patient. Read More

Department of Medicine, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada.

Objective: Pituitary corticotroph macroadenomas, which account for 7% to 23% of corticotroph adenomas, rarely present with apoplexy. This report aimed to describe a patient with a sparsely granulated corticotroph tumor (SGCT) presenting with apoplexy and remission of hypercortisolism.

Case Report: A 33-year-old male patient presented via ambulance with sudden onset of severe headache and nausea/vomiting. Read More

J Craniofac Surg 2022 Aug 11. Epub 2022 Aug 11.

Department of Neurosurgery, Peking University ShenZhen Hospital, Shenzhen, China.

Background: This report describes the removal of a giant cavernous hemangioma while protecting the blood vessels and nerves to the greatest degree of safety, relieving the intracranial space, and relieving the symptoms of the patient.

Methods: Large cavernous hemangioma crossing into the cavernous sinus in a saddle surgery procedure was retrospectively analyzed, summarizing many cross-regional giant cavernous hemangioma treatments.

Results: The patient underwent non-en bloc resection of the tumor with rapid removal. Read More

 The cavernous sinus is a complex space composed of extradural venous plexus within dural folds. Several important structures like the carotid artery, cranial nerves, and sympathetic nerve fibers traverse through this space. Radiological diagnosis may not be definitive and in the context of discordance between clinical and neuroimaging diagnosis, histopathological evaluation becomes essential for diagnosis and management.
