CT of the orbits detected the presence of a mass that extended from the right ethmoid sinuses into the orbital apex, anterior cranial fossa, right frontal lobe, and sphenoid sinus (figure 2). Cranial base reconstruction with CPCs has been successful for translabyrinthine, middle cranial fossa, and suboccipital craniectomy defects, as well as for extensive temporal bone fractures (29). Enhancing soft tissue was seen at the posterior wall of the frontal sinus, and it extended along the planum sphenoidale and through the fovea ethmoidalis; intracranial extension was seen along the dura at the anterior cranial fossa and the anterior aspect of the interhemispheric falx (figure 4). |
