- Abstract
Program Description: The miniseminar provides an open forum for interactive discussion of management options and the decision rationale involved in sinus and skull base cases of varying complexity. A case presentation format is utilized with case presentations from each of the panelists. Questions regarding differential diagnosis, evaluation, imaging, and treatment are posed to the audience in multiple choice format. The responses provided by the audience response system are then discussed and expanded upon by the panelists in an interactive discussion. In general, cases are selected that might be encountered by either a general otolaryngologist or a subspecialty rhinologist, but which have important decision and management dilemmas. Each panelist has been chosen because of their depth of knowledge in the field and because of the clarity of their presentations. Particular emphasis is placed on the decision making process and on frontal sinus disease, revision surgery, and fungal sinusitis, as well as the management of more common tumors. The rationale behind each recommendation will be carefully elucidated. Discussion from the floor is encouraged and the use of a touch pad audience response system creates audience participation as an integral aspect of the case discussions. Educational Objectives: 1) Improve knowledge of the surgical decision making process in chronic sinus disease. 2) Learn different imaging modalities and improve quality of interpretation for both CT and MRI images. 3) Improve understanding of the management of difficult to treat chronic rhinosinusitis.
