C of the mucoperichondrial flaps at the conclusion of septoplasty has been a challenge since the procedure was introduced in 1882 by E. F. Ingals. The purpose of coaptation is to reduce the dead space between the flaps and facilitate healing. If dead space persists, a septal hematoma may form that can lead to complications such as abscess formation and separation of the blood supply from the ca...

Congenital anomalies of the lids and inner canthi are not uncommon. However, superior epiblepharon, an exaggerated palpebral skinfold overhanging the upper lid, is a rare congenital deformity in Caucasians, possibly transmitted as a dominant hereditary characteristic (Duke-Elder, I964). The patient described in this report is of unusual interest in that the superior epiblepharon did not become ...

The choice of CPT code first depends upon whether the procedure is primary, secondary or performed for a cleft lip nasal deformity. If the nose has never undergone previous surgery, the procedure is considered primary; if a previous procedure has been performed, whether by you or by another surgeon, then the current operation is considered secondary. Separate codes describe procedures performed...

In patients having a short nose with a short septal length and/or severe columellar retraction, a septal extension graft is a good solution, as it allows the dome to move caudally and pushes down the columellar base. Fixing the medial crura of the alar cartilages to a septal extension graft leads to an uncomfortably rigid nasal tip and columella, and results in unnatural facial animation. Furth...

Introduction : Nasal reconstruction presents a challenge in case of patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). Correction the nasal deformity to achieve symmetrical nose from deficient columella malformed cartilage great challenge. Nasoalveolar molding (NAM) was developed as neoadjuvant therapy for improve before surgical intervention. The aim this systematic review understand more a...

Background Diprosopus dirrhinus, or nasal duplication, is a rare entity of partial craniofacial duplication. Methods The case we present is the first report of diprosopus dirrhinus associated with complete cleft lip and palate. The baby was born in Cambodia at full term by normal vaginal delivery with no significant perinatal and family history. Physical examination revealed significant facia...

BACKGROUND Infants with deformational plagiocephaly (DP) usually present with cranial vault deformities as well as facial asymmetry. The purpose of this study was to use three-dimensional anthropometric data to evaluate the influence of cranial deformities on facial asymmetry. METHODS We analyzed three-dimensional computed tomography data for infants with DP (n=48) and without DP (n=30, contr...

UNLABELLED Nasal tip ptosis ("drooping" or long nose) occurs when the tip of the nose is more caudal than what is deemed ideal. Intrinsic factors, such as elongated or caudally-rotated lower lateral cartilages, can lead to nasal tip ptosis. Extrinsic factors, such as elongated upper lateral cartilages or excessive caudal anterior septum and heavy nasal skin, can push the nasal tip caudally and ...

Introduction: Although the psychological aspects of rhinoplasty have been fully investigated in the medical literature, the religiosity of rhinoplasty candidates has not been taken into consideration. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the religious attitudes of 157 rhinoplasty candidates were compared with those of 74 subjects who had not requested rhinoplasty. A domestic v...

Vascular diseases are a major threat to human health nowadays. Hypertension, cardiovascular disease and varicose vain disease including hemorrhoids, are now increasingly recognized as inflammatory diseases. The role of inflammation cytokines in the pathogenesis of these diseases is very important. The lamina propria in the nasal mucosa is rich in blood vessels and humoral mediators. Recurrent e...
