It is important to choose which approaches should be used to correct the fracture if the operation is indication for surgery in patients with orbital floor fracture. Transorbital, transantral, and endonasal approaches are methods for correcting the orbital floor fracture. The approach needs to be considered the location of the fracture, the degree, the severity of the fracture, the least remaining patient's disability, and preference of the surgeon. We report a case of orbital floor fracture using transorbital approach and endonasal catheter ballooning to resolve the limitations of transorbital approach alone.

Schwannomas are benign tumors arising from the nerve sheaths of peripheral, autonomic and cranial nerves. Between 25% and 45% of all schwannomas occur in the head and neck region but only 4% involve the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus. Moreover, schwannoma of the pterygopalatine fossa is extremely rare. We present a case of schwannoma of the pterygopalatine fossa in a 43-year-old woman. The patient was surgically managed with endoscopic transnasal approach combined with transantral approach. After 16 months, the patient shows no evidence of recurrence.

Most orbital surgeons believe that it's difficult to restore the primary orbital wall to its previous position and that the orbital wall is so thin that cannot be firmly its primary position. Therefore, orbital wall fractures generally have been reconstructed by replacing the bony defect with a synthetic implant. Although synthetic implants have sufficient strength to maintain their shape and position in the orbital cavity, replacement surgery has some drawbacks due to the residual permanent implants. In previous studies, the author has reported an orbital wall restoring technique in which the primary orbital wall fragment was restored to its prior position through a combination of the transorbital and transantral approaches. Simple straight and curved elevators were introduced transnasally to restore the orbital wall and to maintain temporary extraorbital support in the maxillary and ethmoid sinus. A transconjunctival approach provided sufficient space for implant insertion, while the transnasal approach enabled restoration of the herniated soft tissue back into the orbit. Fracture defect was reduced by restoring the primary orbital wall fragment to its primary position, making it possible to use relatively small size implant, furthermore, extraorbital support from both sinuses decreased the incidence of implant displacement. The author could recreate a natural shape of the orbit with the patient's own orbital bone fragments with this dual approach and effectively restored the orbital volume and shape. This procedure has the advantages for retrieving the orbital contents and restoring the primary orbital wall to its prior position.

Purpose: Many surgical methods for reconstruction of orbital floor fracture have been reported, which include subciliary approach, transconjunctival approach, transantral and transnasal endoscopic approach, etc. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate a surgical technique and analyze the results of transnasal endoscopic approach with Foley catheter ballooning without implantation of artificial surgical material through subciliary approach. Methods: Between February 2007 and November 2010, 29 orbital floor fracture patients, who had no herniated muscles through bone fragments, were treated through transnasal endoscopic approach with Foley catheter ballooning. Under the endoscopic view, the operator identified the opening of maxillary sinus. After widening of the opening using forceps, the operator reduced the fragmented bone with curved suction tip. Thereafter, 18-Fr Foley catheter was inserted. Four weeks after the operation, the catheter was removed. Results: Preoperatively, 6 patients had diplopias, 4 patients had limitations of extraocular motions and 3 patients had enophthalmos. After removal of the Foley catheter 4 weeks after the operation, 2 patients had diplopias, 1 patient had a limitation of extraocular motion, 1 patient has an enophthalmos and 1 patient had numbness on the cheek. These symptoms were resolved about 6 months after the surgery. Conclusion: The operative technique of Foley catheter ballooning through transnasal endoscopic approach without implantation of the artificial surgical material through subciliary approach can be considered one of the appropriate techniques for orbital floor fracture.

Purpose: Blow-out fractures are reduced through transcutaneous or transconjunctival incisions. But the field of orbital surgery is difficult due to lack of visualization of fracture site, blind dissection of orbital floor, susceptibility of injury of orbital structures. In these situations, the former technique of using an antral balloon catheter has advantages over other methods for reconstruction because of its rapidity, simplicity, and inexpensiveness. Furthermore, the antral balloon catheter allows not only elevation of the orbital bone fragment but also expansion of the maxillary sinus in cases where there is a fracture of its walls. But postoperative follow-up method using computed tomography is expensive. Hence, we report a simple and inexpensive follow-up method using radiopaque dye inflation. Methods: We performed endoscopic transantral approach in 5 cases of blow-out fracture under general anesthesia. To accomplish this technique, a rigid 4 mm, 0 or 30 degree angled endoscopy was inserted into the maxillary sinus. Inflation of the catheter started gradually, with 10 to 15 mL of saline mixed radiopaque dye (saline: dye, 5 : 1) by syringe and while observing the elevation of the fracture site with endoscope until a proper contour was reached. For the maintain of the position of fractured site, 12 French urinary balloon foley catheter were used in fracture site for 7 - 10 days. Results: Postoperative assessment was performed by means of clinical and simple radiographic examination to secure the catheter under the inferior orbital wall and in the maxillary sinus. No specific complications occurred related to this procedure. Results of the surgery and follow-up in all cases were satisfactory. Conclusion: It may be a better alternative to the conventional follow-up method, with less cost and effectiveness of the catheter patency. The advantages of using the urinary balloon foley catheter with the radiopaque dye include the following : it is safe, efficacy, simple, and especially low cost. On drawback of this method is the discomfort to the patient caused by the catheter during the treatment.

후비공 폐쇄는 협비막의 과열부전, 협인두막의 지속적 잔존, Olfactory pit의 발생시 불완전 등의 선천성 원인과, 매독디프테리아, 수술 후 또는 외상 등으로 오는 후천성으로 나눌 수 있으며 선천성인 경우에는 두부, 심장, 소화기 계통에 여러 가지 기형이 동반되기도 한다. Johann Roedere (1755년)은 이 질환의 예를 최초로 보고하였으며 Emmert (1853년)가 골성 폐쇄를 트로카를 이용하여 처음 수술을 시도한 이래 , 비강내, 구개, 상악동, 그리고 비중격을 통한 수술 방법이 제시되어 왔으나 이중 경주개 경유법이 술후 재협착 빈도가 가장 적고 또 수술시 폐쇄부의 확인이 용이하여 가장 널리 이용되고 있다. 저자들은 선천성 양측 부분적 골부 후비공 폐쇄를 보인 11세 남아와 선친성 우측 완전 골막부 후비공 폐쇄와 좌측 부분적 골막부 후비공 폐쇄와 좌측 부분적 골막부 후비공 폐쇄를 보인 9세 여아에서 경구개 경유법으로 치험하였기에 문헌적 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
