About Sinusitis/Skull Base Tumors

Sinusitis is swelling of the sinuses, usually from infection or allergies. Skull base tumors are abnormal growths at the bottom of the brain or near the sinuses.

Includes

  • Chronic sinusitis (unresponsive to medication)
  • Nasal polyps or fungal sinusitis
  • Inverted papilloma
  • Esthesioneuroblastoma
  • Skull base tumors (benign or malignant)
  • CSF leak or nasal obstruction due to tumor
  • Endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) & skull base resection

Top Treatment Options

Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS)

A minimally invasive surgery used to treat chronic sinusitis by clearing blocked sinuses using an endoscope inserted through the nose.

Advantages
  • 1. Minimally invasive – No external cuts or facial scars.
  • 2. Faster recovery – Less pain and quicker healing than traditional sinus surgery.
  • 3. Improves breathing – Restores sinus drainage and reduces infections.
Limitations
  • 1. Recurrence possible – Sinus issues may return in some patients.
  • 2. Bleeding or infection – Minor risk post-surgery.
  • 3. Specialist-dependent – Outcome depends on surgical skill and technology.

Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery

A minimally invasive procedure done through the nose using an endoscope to remove tumors or abnormalities located at the base of the skull, without external incisions.

Advantages
  • 1. No external scars – Access through the nose avoids facial cuts.
  • 2. Faster recovery – Less trauma and shorter hospital stay.
  • 3. Precise tumor removal – Enhanced visualization of complex areas.
Limitations
  • 1. Technically demanding – Requires highly skilled surgical team.
  • 2. Risk to nearby structures – Eyes, nerves, or brain tissue may be affected.
  • 3. Limited access – Not all tumors or areas are suitable for endoscopic reach.

Transnasal Transsphenoidal Surgery (for Pituitary Tumors)

A minimally invasive brain surgery performed through the nose and sphenoid sinus to remove pituitary tumors at the base of the brain, avoiding skull opening.

Advantages
  • 1. No external incision – Scarless procedure via nasal passage.
  • 2. Shorter recovery – Less trauma compared to open brain surgery.
  • 3. Precise tumor access – Direct route to the pituitary gland.
Limitations
  • 1. Limited tumor size access – Not suitable for large or complex tumors.
  • 2. Risk of hormone imbalance – Pituitary damage may affect hormone production.
  • 3. CSF leak or infection – Possible complications post-op.
