ABSTRACT
A 56-year old woman presented with headaches and nasal congestion secondary to bilateral ethmoid osteomas and she made a full recovery following endoscopic resection. Paranasal osteomas are common, benign, encapsulated tumours that are often asymptomatic, but may present similarly to rhinosinusitis and occasionally cause complications depending on their anatomical location. Bilateral ethmoidal osteomas, however, are a rare occurrence and have not been previously reported in the English literature as far as the authors are aware. Ethmoidal and fronto-ethmoidal osteomas, like other paranasal osteomas, are easily diagnosed using computed tomography and are increasingly amenable to endoscopic resection. An evidence-based management plan is presented.
RESUMEN
Una mujer de 56 años se presentó con los dolores de cabeza y congestión nasal secundaria a un osteoma etmoidal bilateral, tras su recuperación total a partir de una resección endoscópica. Los osteomas paranasales son tumores comunes, benignos, y encapsulados, a menudo asintomáticos, pero que pueden presentarse de modo similar a la rinosinusitis, y ocasionalmente causar complicaciones, en dependencia de su localización anatómica. Los osteomas etmoidales bilaterales, sin embargo, son una ocurrencia rara y hasta donde sabemos, no ha sido reportado con anterioridad en la literatura en inglés. Los osteomas etmoidales y fronto-etmoidales - al igual que otros osteomas paranasales - se diagnostican fácilmente usando CT, y son cada vez más tratables mediante resección endoscópica. Se presenta un plan de tratamiento basado en la evidencia.
