Overview

Secondary prevention strategies following esthesioneuroblastoma include nasal irrigation with sterile isotonic sodium chloride begins within a few days after packing removal, removal of nasal crusting should be performed regularly during initial postoperative visits, and craniotomy sutures are removed 7-10 days after surgery.

Secondary Prevention

  • Nasal irrigation with sterile isotonic sodium chloride solution begins within a few days after packing removal.
  • Removal of nasal crusting should be performed regularly during initial postoperative visits. This problem is aggravated during radiotherapy but decreases in most patients after 1-2 years. It is a lifelong burden for which no good treatment or prevention is available.
  • Craniotomy sutures are removed 7-10 days after surgery. If a facial incision has been used, sutures are removed after 5 days
