“…[9] One meta-analysis on ISSDs indicated causes of sphenoid pathologies as follows: chronic sinusitis without polyps (28.3%), mucocele (20.3%), fungal sinusitis (12.5%), malignant neoplasm (7.7%), intracranial lesions (7.0%), benign neoplasm (5.7%), chronic sinusitis with polyps (3.4%), and other pathologies (4.7%). [2] Various studies on different populations have classified sphenoid pneumatization types under either three or four categories. Classifications with three categories are classified as conchal, presellar, and sellar.…”

“…[1] The SS are the most deeply situated paranasal sinuses surrounded by critical structures including the carotid arteries, dura mater, and cranial nerves (II, III, IV, V, and VI). [2] Various anatomical studies have shown a wide variation in sinus size, orientation, pneumatization, and bone thickness. [3] Isolated sphenoid sinus diseases (ISSDs) are relatively uncommon among pansinusitis cases, accounting for about 1 to 2% of all sinus pathologies.…”

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to investigate the association of sphenoid volume and pneumatization type with pathologies, including unilateral isolated chronic sphenoid sinusitis with polyps (ICSSwP) and isolated fungal chronic sphenoid sinusitis (IFCSS). Patients and Methods: A total of 26 patients (15 males, 11 females; mean age 49.9±15.0 years; range, 18 to 80 years) with unilateral isolated sphenoid inflammation, pathologically diagnosed as IFCSS (n=14) or ICSSwP (n=12) between January 2010 and December 2018 were included in this study. The sphenoid sinus volumes of the pathological and normal sides of the patients were compared. The sphenoid pneumatization types were also evaluated. Results: In the IFCSS group, the pathological side volume was statistically significantly higher than the healthy side volume (p<0.05). In the ICSSwP group, the pathological side volume was statistically significantly lower than the healthy side volume (p<0.05). Conclusion: Large sphenoid sinus volume is prone to IFCSS, while smaller sphenoid sinus volume is prone to ICSSwP. Therefore, it should be considered that difference in the right and left sphenoid sinus volume may have different etiological or predisposing effects for different pathologies.

“…25 To account for proportions with zero reported events, SE was estimated as the inverse of sample size as previously reported. 26 Meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model for the risk of occult nodal metastasis and subgroup analysis. The I 2 statistic was used to identify heterogeneity between studies.…”

Background Recurrent head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) after radiation is associated with poor survival, and management of the clinically negative (N0) neck during salvage surgery is controversial. Methods Studies were selected according to preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta‐analyses guidelines. Inclusion criteria were patients with HNSCC, prior radiation to the lateral neck nodal basin, undergoing salvage surgery for local recurrence, persistence or second primary, and N0 at time of salvage. Eleven studies with a total of 382 patients met inclusion criteria. Results The rate of occult metastasis was 15.4%. The pooled rate of occult nodal metastasis was 16.2% for oral cavity, 12.9% for oropharynx, 23.7% for hypopharynx, and 27.3% for supraglottic or transglottic tumors. There was a significantly higher relative risk of occult metastasis for locally advanced tumors. Conclusion Elective neck dissection at time of salvage surgery should be considered based on subsite, T classification, and prior history of nodal metastasis.
