BACKGROUND Midface concavity is a relatively common facial feature in East Asian populations. Paranasal augmentation is becoming an increasingly popular procedure for patients with mild concavity and normal occlusion. In this study, we evaluate clinical outcomes following a series of paranasal augmentation. METHODS A retrospective review was performed for patients with Class I occlusion who h...

purpose: to report a patient with exotropia due to medial rectus muscle entrapment as a complication of endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (edcr). case report: a 34-year-old female was referred with left exotropia 18 days after edcr for treatment of primary nasolacrimal duct obstruction. she had a large angle left exotropia in primary position as well as complete limitation of adduction and parti...

BACKGROUND Nasal and paranasal cavities are supposed to contribute substantially to the vocal tract resonator properties. However, their acoustical effects as well as the effects of sinus surgery on the voice remain unclear. In this work we investigate resonance phenomena of paranasal sinuses prior to and after various rhinosurgical procedures in cadaveric human sinonasal tracts and correspondi...

This retrospective study on tumors of canine nasal and paranasal regions covered the period from 2001 to 2014. It involved review of biopsy and necropsy reports submitted to Pathobiology laboratory of the St George’s University, School of Veterinary Medicine, Grenada, West indies. Out of a total 987 dogs with neoplasia in various sites of the body, 14 (1.4%) were diagnosed in nasal and paranasa...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this work was to analyze the occurrence of inverted papilloma within the nose and paranasal sinuses, the extent of lesions and the clinical course in the patients who underwent endoscopic surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between the years of 2006-2012, at the Department of Otolaryngology and Laryngological Oncology, 2295 patients were subjected to surgery due to paranasa...

We used pipe models to investigate the effects of paranasal sinus ostium size and paranasal sinus volume on the area-distance curves derived by acoustic rhinometry (AR). Each model had a Helmholtz resonator or a short neck as a side branch that simulated the paranasal sinus and sinus ostium. The AR-derived cross-sectional areas posterior to the ostium were significantly overestimated. Sinus vol...

The aim of this study was to (a) detect the prevalence of anatomical variations of nose and paranasal sinuses in Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS) on ‘Nasal Endoscopy’,and‘Computed Tomography’, (b) correlate between the two investigation modalities and (c) study association of anatomical variations of nose and paranasal sinuses in Chronic Rhinosinusitis. This Cross sectional study was carried out at...

It is a necrotizing granulomatous vasculitis mostly affecting the lungs (95%), paranasal sinuses (90%), kidneys (85%), nose or nasopharynx (65%), and joints (65%) accordingly.1-4 It is rarely seen in children.5,6 Childhood W...

Objective: To evaluate the clinical effect of reversed nasolabial flap pedicled with superior labial artery used for the reconstruction of paranasal and infraorbital defects. Method: 13 cases of large paranasal and infraorbital defects were reconstructed by the reversed nasolabial flap pedicled with the superior labial artery. In all the patients these defects were resulted by the excision of c...

BACKGROUND Diseases of nose and paranasal sinuses can complicate to involve the orbit and other surrounding structures because of their close proximity. These diseases are usually infective or can be neoplastic in origin. METHOD All the patients presenting in ENT or Eye Departments of Ayub Teaching Hospital during the one year study period who had complicated nose or paranasal sinus disease w...
