Chapters deal with extended indications such as lesions of the pituitary, skull base tumors, orbital lesions, traumatic optic neuropathy, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), rhinorrhea, etc. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) was introduced as a treatment for intractable chronic sinusitis, which failed to respond to medical management. The surgery started operating on different conditions, including tumors within the nose and paranasal sinuses as well as of surrounding areas such as the orbit and the skull base.
