Non-Vestibular Schwannoma Tumours of the Cerebellopontine Angle
Anatomy
e CPA is an inverted, triangular subarachnoid space containing cranial nerves
(V–XI) and blood vessels bathed in cerebrospinal uid (CSF). Relations include pons (medial), cerebellum (posterior), tentorium (superior) and pos-
terior temporal bone (lateral). Extends into the petrous bone as the internal auditory canal (IAC); its medial aperture
is known as the porus acousticus.

Clinical Conditions
Vest ibular schwan nomas (VS) represent 80–90% of CPA tumours w ith the remaining 10–20% a mixture of predominantly benign pathologies. e symptoms at presentation are normally sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus or vertigo. Other cranial nerves may be aected, causing altered facial sensation, facial weakness/spasm and lower cranial nerve compromise. Larger tumours may also cause brainstem compression.
e most common non-VS CPA lesions include:
Meningioma: ey form from clusters of epithelial cells at the tips of arachnoid villi.
ey may be well circumscribed or, more rarely, en plaque when their growth pattern results in a at lesion. Bony inltration may result in hyperostosis. Typically they displace or surround neurovascular structures. Histologically, meningiomas may be graded from 1 to 3 according to the World Health Organization (WHO) grading system (grade 1 and 2 benign, grade 3 malignant). Meningiomas occur in neuro­bromatosis and are associated with radiotherapy and hormone therapy. Watchful waiting is less eective for meningiomas compared with VS due to tumour growth. e treatment of choice for large or symptomatic tumours is surgery with removal of the tumour, aected dura and bone. Surgical approaches are similar to that for VS. Fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy and SRS have a high success rate in control­ling tumour progression for small low-grade tumours.

LESIONS OF THE CEREBELLOPONTINE ANGLE, PETROUS APEX AND JUGULAR FORAMEN
Epidermoid cyst: Epidermoids can occur in CPA as well as the PA. Surgery is the treat-
ment of choice for large or symptomatic cysts, and the aim of surgery is decompres­sion of the cysts and removal of the lining if possible. Subtotal removal is advocated to preserve neurovascular structures. Recurrence rate is high and revision surgery may be required periodically. e retrosigmoid approach is the standard surgical approach. Post-operative aseptic meningitis is not uncommon and is almost unique to this condition. Arachnoid cyst: ese are congenital malformations of the arachnoid histologically
characterised by a cyst wall that resembles arachnoid and a cystic space lled with CSF. Eighty-ve percent of these cysts are asymptomatic and require neither treat­ment nor ongoing surveillance. For symptomatic cysts, microsurgical decompression and fenestration via the retrosigmoid approach is the most commonly recommended procedure. Lipoma: ese are congenital malformations, which rarely grow. Almost always man-
aged conservatively, they oen do not need follow-up, but subtotal removal may be considered for symptomatic lesions. Facial nerve and lower cranial nerve schwannomas: ese are covered elsewhere.
Inammatory conditions: e CPA can be aected by autoimmune or idiopathic
pachymeningitis, tuberculosis and sarcoidosis. Malignant lesions: ese are usually metastatic lesions from either intra-cranial or
extra-cranial sources (e.g. breast, prostate or lung). Diagnosis may be aided by lumbar puncture and CSF cytology. Solitary metastases may be treated with surgical resec­tion or with SRS. Melanomas and lymphoma can also occur at the CPA. Intra-axial or intraventricular tumours may also invade the CPA and these include medulloblasto­mas, astrocytomas, ependymomas and gliomas.
22. VESTIBULAR SCHWANNOMA
Jugular Foramen Lesions and Their Management
Anatomy
e JF is divided by intrajugular processes into a lateral compartment that contains
the sigmoid-jugular complex and a medial compartment that contains the inferior petrosal sinus and cranial nerves IX, X and XI (Figure 23.3). e superior and inferior petrosal sinuses, the occipital sinus and the mastoid and
condylar emissary veins drain into the sigmoid-jugular complex.
Clinical Conditions
Symptoms of JF lesions include paralysis of cranial nerves IX, X and XI (Vernet’s syndrome). Cranial nerves VII and VIII may also be aected by pathology at the JF and venous involve­ment may rarely cause cavernous sinus syndrome or raised intracranial pressure. Pulsatile tinnitus may be a feature of paragangliomas or jugular vein diverticulum. Otoscopy may reveal a red lesion behind the eardrum in paragangliomas (rising sun sign) and a bluish discolouration behind the eardrum may signify a high jugular bulb. Brown’s sign designates blanching of the lesion with pneumatic otoscopy.
e most common conditions aecting the JF are paragangliomas, schwannomas and meningiomas. Other conditions that aect this area include infections (e.g. complications of otitis media or necrotising otitis externa) and malignancy (e.g. distant metastases).
e three most common tumours are briey described below and their management is con­sidered together:
Temporal bone paragangliomas: Paraganglia are present in the adventitia of the jugular
bulb, along c ranial ner ves IX and X, and i n the middle ear i n association w ith Jacobsen’s plexus. Up to 40% of patients with head and neck paragangliomas have a mutation of the succinate dehydrogenase gene that makes them prone to developing multiple paragangliomas, including intra-abdominal tumours with a higher propensity to

secrete catecholamines. Patients should have their blood pressure checked and either 24-hour urinary catecholamine collection or an assay of plasma free metanephrines. In addition to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/CT of the neck, assessment with MR angiography, CT angiography or conventional angiography should be performed as these tumours are highly vascular. Staging should be done with positron emission tomography (PET) or MRI from the head to the pelvis. Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET imaging can be used to indicate metabolic activity as evidenced by standardised uptake value (SUV) max, which correlates with tendency to growth.
e Fisch classication of paragangliomas is as follows:
Class A: limited to the middle ear (mesotympanum)
Class B: middle ear (meso-and hypotympanum) and mastoid
Class C: involvement of infra-labyrinthine and apical compartments of temporal bone;
subclassication by degree of carotid canal erosion Class D: tumours with intracranial extension; subclassication by presence and extent
of intradural extension
Schwannomas: ese develop from the Schwann cells in t he perineurium aecting cranial
nerves IX, X or XI in the medial part of the JF. e biological behaviour of schwanno­mas in the JF is similar to that in the CPA and is oen slow growing or apparently static.
Meningiomas: Basal meningiomas can penetrate the skull base through the JF.
Management includes:
Wait and see policy: Intervention in this area is fraught with danger to important neu-
rovascular structures. erefore conservative management is appropriate in patients with minimal symptoms and non-growing tumours. SRS and fractionated radiotherapy (FRT): ese are associated with high rates of
tumour control and lower rates of cranial nerve palsy compared with surgery. SRS has the advantage of being delivered in a single sitting. Consider this for small vol­ume (<3cm) progressive disease and minimal symptoms, residual disease aer sur­gery, inoperable tumours and in patients of advanced age/poor physical condition. Recovery of compromised nerves has been reported.

TEMPORAL BONE TUMOURS
Surgery: Considered in patients with significant symptoms, large tumours and
growing tumours. Pre-operative embolisation of feeding vessels 48 hours before surgery is recommended for paragangliomas as well as vascular meningiomas (risk of stroke <1%). Permanent balloon occlusion of the petrous carotid artery should be performed if the artery is not salvageable. If carotid occlusion is not tolerated, the artery can be reinforced with a covered stent or vascular bypass may be per­formed. The lateral transtemporal approach is commonly utilised. Transposition of the facial nerve may be required depending on its relationship with the tumuor.
KEY POINTS
The diagnosis for most PA lesions can be made radiologically (CT + MRI): active
treatment is not always required and ‘watchful waiting’ is often most appropriate.
Paragangliomas, schwannomas and meningiomas are by far the most common lesions
found in the JF. There is no uniformity of opinion on the best therapeutic approach, and the need for surgical treatment should be balanced with the considerable risk of functional loss.
Twenty percent of CPA tumours are not VS.
24. TEMPORAL BONE TUMOURS
Introduction
Primary temporal bone tumours are rare, with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) represent­ing the most common subtype. However, a myriad of less common benign and malignant tumours can occur with varying biological behaviour and prognosis. is chapter provides an overview of the presentation and management of temporal bone tumours.
Pathology and Epidemiology
e reported incidence of temporal bone SCC is fewer than six cases per million per year, accounting for approximately 0.3% of all head and neck cancer. ere is a slight male sex preponderance and a median age of presentation in the seventh decade. e epidemio­logical features of the rarer primary temporal bone tumours are dicult to establish given their scarcity.
Risk Factors
Genetic: Some temporal bone tumours already have a known genetic predisposi-
tion, such as Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease and endolymphatic sac tumours (ESTs). Additionally, genetic syndromes predisposing patients to skin malignancies have increased risk of cutaneous head and neck lesions with direct temporal bone invasion. Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) and cholesteatoma: An aetiopathological
relationship has been postulated between SCC of the petrous temporal bone and CSOM and cholesteatoma. In some series, up to 68% of SCC patients have a prior history of either CSOM or cholesteatoma. e association between these two con­ditions is poorly understood. e current assumption is that chronic inammation and cellular trauma can result in malignant transformation of the temporal bone epithelium.

Radiation: Radiation-induced malignancies are a known complication of both frac-
tionated radiation and radiosurgery. Dierentiating between primary, second pri­mary, recurrent and radiation-induced malignancies is oen clinically challenging. Lustig et al. 1997 developed a diagnostic criterion for dening radiation-induced temporal bone tumours as follows:
Second neoplasm in irradiated eld
Latent period between radiation and malignancy diagnosis of several years
Previous histological and radiological conrmation of malignancy
Second neoplasm of diering histological subtype to primary malignancy
Ultraviolet (UV) light exposure: UV light exposure increases the risk of cutaneous skin
malignancies. Temporal bone involvement may occur due to direct inltration via primary disease of the lateral external auditory canal (EAC) or pinna, or as a result of advanced metastatic deposits within the parotid gland, which is the primary lym­phatic drainage of much of the cutaneous head and neck.
Clinical Presentation and Examination Findings
e presentation of temporal bone tumours can oen be non-specic, therefore a cli­nician should look to exclude temporal bone tumours in any patients with recalcitrant symptoms (Table 24.1). Tumour can extend via anatomical deciencies such as the fora- men of Huschke, ssures of Santorini, tympanomastoid ssure and Eustachian tube into the parotid, temporomandibular joint, skull base and nasopharynx. Cervical metastasis may occur with malignancy; however, it is relatively uncommon. Unexplained lower cra­nial nerve (CN) dysfunction (CNs VII–XII) should always warrant a complete head and neck and otological examination, in addition to imaging of the skull base and petrous temporal bone.
Diagnostic Workup
Biopsy for histopathological examination: Biopsy can usually be performed trans-canal
under local anaesthetic. Tumours situated deep in the temporal bone, or patients who have had previous non-diag nostic biopsies, may require biopsy under general anaesthetic. Audiometry: Pure-tone audiometry should be performed in all patients and vestibular
assessment may be required depending on clinical presentation. Multi-modality cross-sectional imaging: Physical examination alone is insucient to
characterise the extent of a patient’s disease, particularly in malignant conditions. High-resolution computed tomography (CT) (axial and coronal) and gadolinium­enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are complementary studies, allowing assessment of the disease burden. Additionally, in malignant conditions, staging of the neck and chest is oen appropriate to assess for metastatic disease.

Staging and multi-disciplinary team (MDT) discussion: Malignant tumours of the EAC
are oen classied via the modied Pittsburgh staging system (Figure 24.2). Whilst several systems have been described, there is no established staging system for pri­mary malignancy of the middle ear or petrous apex, likely due to the rare and varied nature of the disease. Malignancies inltrating the temporal bone from a cutaneous source are staged via the non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) AJCC TNM criterion (Table 24.2). All malignant disease should be discussed within an MDT with expertise in skull base surgery.

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF HEARINGTEMPORAL BONE TUMOURS
Management
Benign Disease
A comprehensive discussion of the management of all benign tumours of the temporal bone is beyond the scope of this chapter. e general treatment consensus in benign disease is complete surgic al resection w ith narrow sur gical marg ins, unle ss the morbidity of resec tion is unaccept able.
Middle Ear Adenomas (MEAs)
Middle ear adenomas (MEAs) represent a rare benign primary middle ear tumour,
thought to be derived from the middle ear mucosa. ese tumours lack the aggressive features of malignancy such as bone erosion and are generally accepted to have a good prognosis. Histologically and immunohistochemically, these tumours can display both epithelial and neuroendocrine dierentiation. Surgical resection, without adjuvant treatment, is the management of choice, although they have a high recurrence rate.
Endolymphatic SAC Tumours (ESTs)
ESTs are a primary tumour originating from the endolymphatic sac. Patients classi-
cally present similar to cerebellopontine angle (CPA) pathology with sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus and vertigo. Classically, they are associated with VHL disease. Generally, surgical removal is recommended; however, similar to other CPA pathology, radiation or observation may be appropriate if resection confers signicant morbidity.
Malignant Disease
e general management consensus for temporal bone malignancy is en bloc surgical resec­tion followed by post-operative radiation therapy as described in Table 24.3.
Sleeve Resection
Sleeve resection, isolated resection of the so tissue of the EAC, can be appropriate for very carefully selected small T1 tumours, which are laterally based in the EAC. Typically the so tissue defect is reconstructed with a split-thickness skin gra.
Lateral Temporal Bone Resection
Tumours lateral to the tympanic membrane (T1 and T2) can be appropriately managed with lateral temporal resection. A wide cortical mastoidectomy is performed, following the tegmen anteriorly into the zygoma towards and up to the mandibular condyle. e facial ner ve is iden­tied in the mastoid segment and traced through to the stylomastoid foramen. An extended posterior tympanotomy is performed to isolate the bony EAC, sacricing the chorda tympani. e incudostapedial joint is divided under direct vision. An osteotomy is introduced through the posterior tympanotomy, and the bony EAC is fractured anteriorly o the bony carotid canal to allow for en bloc delivery of the EAC. e tympanic membrane, middle ear mucosa, incus and malleus are removed and the Eustachian tube is obliterated (Fig ure 24.1).

Extended Temporal Bone Resection
Disease extending medially to the tympanic membrane (T3 or T4) mandates an extended temporal bone resection. e specimen includes a lateral temporal bone resection, as described previously, with extension to resect the inner ear, exposing the air cell of the petrous apex. e facial nerve is resected at the internal auditory meatus. e procedure is oen combined with resection of the head of the mandible.
Treatment of the Adjacent Nodal Basins
Parotidectomy
Supercial parotidectomy is oen performed for SCC, given it is the primary lymphatic basin and in proximity to disease. For disease with more indolent behaviour, such as basal cell carcinoma (BCC), parotidectomy is not necessary unless required for surgical margins.
Cervical Nodal Disease
Cervical nodal metastasis is uncommon in early tumours. In the absence of clinical neck disease, surgical neck dissection may still be performed in selected cases, e.g. to facilitate free ap reconstruction or to enable accurate neck staging in high-risk patients, such as those who are immunosuppressed. e presence of clinical nodal disease mandates a comprehen­sive neck dissection.
Adjuvant Treatment
Post-operative radiotherapy (PORT), usually commencing 6–8 weeks after surgery, is the accepted gold standard of management for temporal bone malignancy. The literature suggests PORT improves disease-specific survival (DSS) and locoregional control (LRC). In patients with tumour in an already radiated field, re-irradiation may be considered if free vascularised tissue has been used to reconstruct the field. Palliative radiotherapy may be offered to patients with non-resectable disease, or in patients whose comorbidi­ties preclude surgery.
Chemotherapy
ere is little evidence to support the use of pre- or post-operative chemotherapy in tempo­ral bone tumours. Palliative systemic therapies, including chemotherapy, may be given in advanced or metastatic disease.
Immunotherapy
Whilst there is no evidence supporting immunotherapy in primary temporal bone tumours, there is emerging evidence supporting checkpoint inhibitor therapy for advanced cutaneous tumours. ese therapies include hedgehog signalling pathway inhibitors in BCC, and PD-1/ PD-L1 inhibitors in SCC. ese are currently used primarily on a trial basis in unresectable or metastatic disease.
Treatment Outcomes and Prognosis
Benign Disease
Collectively, benign disease oen has a good prognosis when amenable to complete surgical resection. Adjuvant treatment is usually not necessary.
Malignant Disease
e prognosis of malignant disease depends on its biological behaviour. Given that SCC is the most common tumour of the temporal bone it will form the focus of this section. Prognosis is favourable in early (T1/T2) tumours with 5-year survival rates between 80 and 100% in most series. Survival with advanced disease (T3/T4) is variable but generally confers a worse prognosis, with 5-year survival rates between 28 and 86% reported in the literature.
Poor prognostic factors include facial nerve, internal carotid or dural/brain parenchymal inltration, poorly dierentiated tumours, positive surgical margins and advanced disease.

25. ANATOMY OF THE NOSE AND PARANASAL SINUSES
Introduction
is chapter outlines paranasal sinus development, neurovascular and anatomical struc­tures of the external nose, nasal cavity and nasal septum. A surgically relevant approach to sinus anatomy is discussed.
Development of the Nose and Paranasal Sinus
Maxillary Sinus
e maxillary sinus appears between the 7th and 10th weeks of gestation with rapid growth until the age of 7, and reaches nal size by 17–18 years. Any disruption in development may result in maxillary sinus aplasia or hypoplasia.
Ethmoid Sinus
e ethmoid sinus is present at birth and develops from four to ve folds called ethmoturbi­nals. ese dene a series of lamella that must be removed to pass from the anterior sinonasal cavity to the sphenoid sinus. ese include the following:
1 Agger nasi (ascending portion) and uncinate process (descending portion) 2 Bulla ethmoidalis 3 Basal lamella of the middle turbinate 4 Superior turbinate 5 Supreme turbinate if present
e furrows between ethmoturbinals develop into nasal meatuses. e rst furrow (between the rst and second ethmoturbinal) becomes the middle meatus (hiatus semilunaris), while the second furrow becomes the superior meatus.
Sphenoid and Frontal Sinus
Pneumatisation of sphenoid sinus begins at the age of 3 with three described patterns:
Sellar (pneumatisation posterior to the sella turcica, 90%)
Pre-sellar (pneumatisation up to the anterior sella, 9%)
Conchal (shallow bowl with minimal sphenoid pneumatisation, 1%)
