Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. All patients with paranasal sinus tumors with potential (close to/involving) dural involvement requiring craniofacial surgery. 2. Age > 18 years.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Frank brain invasion, bilateral orbital apex or cavernous sinus involvement. 2. Patients refusing surgery. 3. Patients unfit for surgery

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary outcome: Diagnostic accuracy of MRI by assessing Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive predictive value, Negative predictive value. a. The endpoint will be pathological evidence of tumor / reactive changes / normal tissue.Timepoint: MRI done prior to surgery will be compared with histology after surgery

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
a. Morbidity - CSF leak, meningitis, pneumoencephalus, intracranial hemorrhage, wound infection, neurological deficits. b. Progression free survival, Overall survival Timepoint: 30 day morbidity
