    Sinus pericranii, petrosquamosal sinus and extracranial sigmoid sinus: Anatomical variations to consider during a retroauricular approach
    (2017) CISNEROS, Juan Carlos; LOPES, Paula Tardim; BENTO, Ricardo Ferreira; TSUJI, Robinson Koji
    Lateral and sigmoid sinus malformations are uncommon and dangerous anatomical variations that surgeons may encounter when performing a retroauricular approach. We report three cases of rare temporal bone venous sinus anomalies seen in patients who underwent cochlear implant surgery. The first patient had a diagnosis of CHARGE syndrome and presented a bilateral persistent petrosquamosal sinus with sigmoid sinus agenesis, which made mastoidectomy for cochlear implantation difficult. The second patient presented an anomalous venous lake in the occipital region, which communicated the left dural venous sinuses with a conglomerate of pericranial vessels in the left nuchal region, also consistent with left sinus pericranii. The third patient presented with an extracranial sigmoid sinus that produced a troublesome bleeding immediately after the muscular-periosteal flap incision was performed.

    Preservation of the facial and lower cranial nerves in glomus jugulare tumor surgery: modifying our surgical technique for improved outcomes
    (2018) BRITO, Rubens de; LESSER, Juan Carlos Cisneros; LOPES, Paula Tardim; BENTO, Ricardo Ferreira
    To describe the neurological results obtained in six patients with large Fisch C glomus jugulare tumors (GJT) in which a less aggressive, nerve-preserving surgical strategy was used to reduce surgical morbidity. Prospective study of six patients with Fisch C GJT who underwent surgery in a tertiary care referral center from February 2015 to August 2017 with an average follow-up of 18 months. The intervention is the surgical technique used and the main outcome measures are recurrence and the functional preservation of the facial and lower cranial nerves. Gross total removal was obtained in the six patients with preservation of the medial wall of the jugular bulb protecting the lower cranial nerves. After follow-up, we obtained a House-Brackmann (H-B) grade II in three patients who were managed with an inferior facial nerve transposition. One patient managed with a facial bridge technique preserved a normal facial function and two patients who presented a H-B III before surgery went to H-B V after surgery and recovered to a H-B III after 4 months. Four patients were presented with dysphagia after surgery and required nasogastric tube placement. The average time for removal with return to normal oral feeding was 4.3 weeks. Three patients with preoperative Xth nerve dysfunction showed an adequate compensation of the opposite vocal fold in the postoperative period without dysphonia or aspiration. The surgical techniques used in these patients provided good functional preservation without recurrence after an 8-30-month follow-up.
