Abstract

Malignant tumours of the sinonasal tract comprise approximately 3% of the malignancies that arise in the upper aerodigestive tract. Approximately 10% of tumours that arise in the sinonasal tract originate in the ethmoid and/or frontal sinuses, and are likely to involve the anterior cranial base. The route of spread of tumours originating in the anterior skull base and paranasal sinuses is determined by the complex anatomy of the craniomaxillofacial compartments. These tumours may invade laterally into the orbit and middle fossa, inferiorly into the maxillary antrum and palate, posteriorly into the nasopharynx and pterygopalatine fossa, and superiorly into the cavernous sinus and brain. Recent improvements in endoscopic technology now allow the resection of the majority of benign neoplasms and some early malignant tumours with minor dural involvement. For advanced-stage malignant tumours and benign tumours with frontal bone involvement, the classical open approaches remain viable surgical techniques. In this paper, we review the open surgical resection approaches used for resections in the craniomaxillofacial area. Turkish Başlık: Anterior Kafatası Tabanı ve Paranazal Sinüs Tümörleri Rezeksiyonu İçin Cerrahi Yaklaşımlar Anahtar Kelimeler: Anterior kafatası tabanı, açık yaklaşımlar, paranazal tümörler Sinonazal yolun malign tümörleri, üst solunum yolu ve sindirim sisteminde ortaya çıkan malignitelerin yaklaşık %3'ünü oluşturmaktadır. Sinonazal yolda ortaya çıkan tümörlerin yaklaşık %10'u etmoid ve/veya frontal sinüslerden köken almaktadır ve anterior kraniyal tabanı tutmaları mümkündür. Anterior kafatası tabanı ve paranazal sinüslerden köken alan tümörlerin yayılım yolu kraniyomaksillofasiyal kompartımanların kompleks anatomisi tarafından belirlenmektedir. Bu tümörler yanda orbita ve orta fossa içine, aşağıda maksiller antrum ve damak içine ve arkada nazofarinks ve pterigopalatin fossa içine ve üstte kavernöz sinüs ve beyin içine invaze olabilir. Endoskopik teknolojideki son gelişmeler artık benign neoplazmların çoğunun ve çok az dura tutulumu olan bazı erken evre malign tümörlerin rezeksiyonuna izin vermektedir. İleri evre malign tümörlerde ve frontal kemik tutulumu olan benign tümörlerde klasik açık yaklaşımlar uygulanabilir cerrahi teknikler olmaya devam etmektedir. Bu makalede kraniyomaksillofasiyal alanda rezeksiyonlar için kullanılan açık cerrahi rezeksiyon yaklaşımlarını gözden geçirmekteyiz.
