[Foley balloon placement for maxillofacial fractures].

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of maxillary sinus Foley balloon placement in patients with maxillofacial fractures. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study included 38 patients (10 females, 28 males; mean age 29.1+/-11.6; range 9 to 49 years) in whom Foley balloon placement and gauze packing were performed for blow-out, orbitozygomatic, or maxillary fractures. Sex and age distributions, etiology of trauma, localization of fractures, management, intraoperative and postoperative complications were evaluated. RESULTS: Eighteen patients had blow-out fractures, 15 patients had orbitozygomatic fractures, and five patients had Le Fort II-III fractures of the maxilla. Preoperatively, enophthalmos, diplopia, limited ocular motility, and facial asymmetry were found in 28.9%, 26.3%,18.4% and 65.8%, respectively. Sufficient maxillary sinus patency was obtained in 32 patients (84.2%). Enophthalmos, diplopia, limited ocular motility, and facial asymmetry were found in 13.2%, 7.9%, 5.3%, and 18.4% in the postoperative period, respectively. CONCLUSION: Maxillary Foley balloon placement should be preferred in the blow-out, orbitozygomatic, and maxillary fractures because it supports the orbital floor and provides sufficient maxillary sinus patency.

[Petrous bone lesions].

OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the results of treatment and follow-up of patients with petrous bone lesions. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated 13 patients (5 females, 8 males; mean age 33.8+/-17.4 years; range 4.5 to 65 years) who were treated and followed-up for petrous bone lesions between 1990 and 2004. The diagnoses were cholesterol granuloma (n=2; 15.4%), chondrosarcoma (n=1; 7.7%), and cholesteatoma (n=10; 76.9%). RESULTS: Patients with cholesterol granuloma had complaints of cephalgia and diplopia while those with cholesteatoma complained of otorrhea and hearing loss. One patient with cholesterol granuloma and eight patients with cholesteatoma underwent surgical operations with the use of middle skull base approach (n=1), transcochlear approach (n=2), translabyrinthine approach (n=1), and tympanopetrosectomy (n=5). Two cases with congenital cholesteatoma and one patient with cholesterol granuloma refused surgical intervention and were only followed-up. CONCLUSION: Besides surgical intervention, follow-up by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging may be considered in patients with incidental petrous bone lesions, presenting with limited symptoms.
