Research paper thumbnail of Utility of Rescue Flap in the Reconstruction of Skull Base Defects Following Transnasal Endoscopic Excision of Sellar/Supra-sellar Lesions

This enables usage of NSF flap when needed while allowing enough exposure to resect tumor completely. This also provides with added advantage of tailoring flap according to preference to cover the defect post tumor removal. This technique involves partial harvestation of only the most superior and posterior aspect of the flap to protect its pedicle, providing better instrumentation for the sphenoid sinus. At the end of the procedure, if there is unexpected CSF rhinorrhea or resultant bony defect is large then Nasoseptal flap is harvested from the rescue flap. As very few studies have been conducted for rescue flap technique in anterior skull base defect reconstruction following excision of sellar/supra-sellar lesions, the technique requires further validation, hence the present study is being undertaken. Objectives: 1. To study the post-operative outcome of Nasal Septal Rescue Flap (NSRF) in terms of donor Study Protocol

Associated with severe, throbbing, intermittent headache since past 4 days patient also had high grade fever. Patient also had a history of left ear foul smelling discharge, scanty in amount, non-blood tinged, not aggravated or relieved with upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), not relieved with medications and not associated with giddiness. Clinical examination revealed a swelling in left preauricular region extending to temporoparietal region displacing left pinna downwards and outwards. Bilateral periorbital swelling was present (Figure 2, 3). Mastoid tenderness was conspicuous. Whitish foul smelling, non-blood-tinged discharge was present in left external auditory meatus. Further ear examination was not possible due to oedema, swelling and thick discharge in external auditory canal (EAC). In view of e...

However, the relationship between severity of AD and metabolic and atopic conditions is not well studied. The aim of this study was to elucidate the relationship between severity of AD and comorbidities, such as metabolic conditions (increased body mass index, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, and type II diabetes mellitus) and other atopic manifestations (allergic rhinitis, asthma and food allergies). A retrospective population-based national study of a cohort of young adult males conscripted into military service in Singapore over a 5-year period was performed, utilizing military electronic medical records. A dose-dependent effect was found between the association of comorbidities and severity of AD. Metabolic and atopic conditions were significantly correlated with having moderate-to-severe AD. An association of metabolic and atopic conditions with severity of adult AD was found, which suggests that chronic severe AD may result in increased disease burden and morbidity.
