Combined endoscopic endonasal transpterygoid and sublabial transmaxillary approaches for a large infratemporal fossa trigeminal schwannoma
No full textBackground Trigeminal schwannomas (TSs) with solitary extracranial location are rare, and surgical excision is challenging. In recent years, the endoscopic endonasal transmaxillary transpterygoid approach (EETPA) has been advocated as an effective strategy for TSs in the infratemporal fossa (ITF). Method We describe the steps of the EETPA combined with the sublabial transmaxillary approach for the surgical excision of a giant mandibular schwannoma of the ITF. Indications, advantages, and approach-specific complications are also discussed. The main surgical steps are shown in an operative video. Conclusion A combined EETPA and sublabial transmaxillary approach represents a safe and effective option for the surgical excision of extracranial TSs

Il declino degli Aragonesi di Napoli nel Libro de la Methamorphosi di Benet Garret, il "Cariteo"
No full textL’articolo propone un’analisi del Libro de la Methamorphosi, un poemetto di quattro canti in terza rima del poeta catalano Benet Garret, detto il Cariteo (Barcellona 1450 – Napoli 1514), attivo a Napoli dagli anni Ottanta del Quattrocento al servizio dei sovrani aragonesi e autore di un canzoniere intitolato Endimione concepito e scritto integralmente in volgare toscano. Il testo in esame conferma l’attitudine dell’autore a piegare materiali e situazioni mitologiche per scopi encomiastici e in difesa della causa aragonese: nel caso specifico il Garret restituisce un racconto mitizzato della dissoluzione della corte, causata dal crollo storico della dinastia nel 1501, sullo sfondo di un paesaggio napoletano popolato di sirene, ninfe e divinità pagane e tenendo a modello i poemi omerici, l’Eneide ma soprattutto le Metamorfosi di Ovidio.This article analyzes the Libro de la Methamorphosi, a brief poem in four cantos by the Catalan poet Benet Garret (also known as Cariteo; Barcelona 1450- Naples 1514). Garret was active in Naples since de 1480’s working in the service of the Catalan monarchs. He was the author of a songbook entitled Endimione written in the vernacular Tuscan language. The Libro de la Methamorphosi weaves together a variety of mythological materials in order to praise and defend the Aragonese cause, thus creating a Neapolitan background populated by sirens, nymphs, and pagan divinites that uses as sources Homer’s poems, the Eneid and, particularly, Ovid’s Metapmorphoses

No full textObjective Esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) is a rare malignant neoplasm arising from the olfactory epithelium of the cribriform plate. The goal of this study was to update our oncologic outcomes for this disease and explore prognostic factors associated with survival. Materials and methods We performed a retrospective analysis of patients with ENB treated at a single tertiary care institution from January 1, 1960, to January 1, 2020. Univariate and multivariate analysis was performed. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) were reported. Results Among 143 included patients, the 5-year OS was 82.3% and the 5-year PFS was 51.6%; 5-year OS and PFS have improved in the modern era (2005-present). Delayed regional nodal metastasis was the most common site of recurrence in 22% of patients (median, 57 months). On univariate analysis, modified Kadish staging (mKadish) had a negative effect on OS, PFS, and DMFS (p < 0.05). Higher Hyams grade had a negative effect on PFS and DMFS (p < 0.05). Positive margin status had a negative effect on PFS (p < 0.05). Orbital invasion demonstrated worsening OS (hazard ratio, 3.1; p < 0.05). On multivariable analysis, high Hyams grade (3 or 4), high mKadish stage (C+D), and increasing age were independent negative prognostic factors for OS (p < 0.05). High Hyams grade (3+4), high mKadish stage (C+D), age, and positive margin status were independent negative prognostic factors for PFS (p < 0.05). High Hyams grade (3+4) was an independent negative prognostic factor for DMFS (p < 0.05). Conclusions Patients with low Hyams grade and mKadish stage have favorable 5-year OS, PFS, and DMFS
