Influence of Deviated Nasal Septum on Nasal Epithelium: An Analysis

Sleep apnea syndrome treated by repair of deviated nasal septum.

Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) often presents a difficult therapeutic problem to the clinician since many of the accepted modes of therapy are associated with only partial success or with a number of long-term complications. We present three patients with obstructive SAS in whom dramatic clinical improvement occurred following repair of a deviated nasal septum. The subjective improvement was associ...

Correlation of asymmetric facial growth with deviated nasal septum.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To evaluate the correlation between growth differences of the face and nasal septal deviation, and to evaluate whether developmental differences of the face have an effect on nontraumatic nasal septal deviation (DNS). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. METHODS Twenty-five patients with DNS who underwent facial aesthetic surgery and had an ostiomeatal unit-computed tomog...

Piezoelectric sensing: Evaluation for clinical investigation of deviated nasal septum

Noninvasive objective evaluation of nasal airflow is one of the important clinical aspects. The developed polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) sensor enables measurement of airflow through each side of the nose using its piezoelectric property. This study was designed to evaluate the diagnostic capability of the PVDF sensor in assessing the deviated nasal septum (DNS). PVDF nasal sensor uses its piez...

Nasal Septum and External Nasal Deformity Similarities in Monozygotic Twins and Paranasal Computed Tomography Analysis

Since identical twins occur as a result of the division of one egg, they have the same genetic structure. Therefore, their phenotypes and sex are also always the same. However, due to the effect of environmental factors, some of the characteristics of twins living in different regions appear to develop differently. In our case of 17-year-old maternal twins, we emphasized that nasal pathologies ...
