ABSTRACT Several studies have shown the importance of quantitative assessment in nasal patency and functional status upper airways to provide clinical diagnostic information oral breather individuals, which are great interest speech therapy. The aim study was evaluate effect saline solution irrigation on through aeration active anterior rhinomanometry breathing children. This an eight case seri...

Introduction and Objectives: Sinonasal tumours represent only 3% of all head and neck cancers. Adenocarcinoma is the second most frequent histopathology type. Hardwood exposure has been considered a risk factor. Sinonasal adenocarcinoma grows silently which leads to a late diagnosis and low survival rates. The aim of this study was to present our experience in the management of the patients wit...

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a necrotizing systemic vasculitis of small and medium-sized vessels renal sinopulmonary involvement. Its symptoms include chronic sinusitis, recurrent pneumonia, glomerulonephritis, constitutional symptoms, skin manifestations typical onset in the fourth to sixth decade life. We present rare case GPA 16-year-old female who presented facial numbness nasa...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common adult and pediatric sleep disorder, which, if left untreated, is associated with severe medical consequences. Otolaryngologists are often challenged by the impact of OSAS on sinonasal symptoms, as well as by the contribution of primary nasal disorders to exacerbation of OSAS. The objectives of this study are to explore th...

Objective. To determine the efficacy of sinonasal evaluation preceding hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) and to correlate pretransplant findings with subsequent risk of post-HCT complications based on radiographic, endoscopic, and microbiologic findings. Study Design. Case series with chart review. Setting. Academic tertiary care center. Subjects and Methods. Seventy-one patients underwent pr...

OBJECTIVE Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous and multifactorial disease characterized by dysregulated inflammation. Abnormalities in innate immune function including sinonasal epithelial cell barrier function, mucociliary clearance, response to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) via pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), and the contribution of innate immune cells will b...

Invasive facial fungal infections affect the orofacial soft tissues in immunocompromised patients and can cause significant morbidity and mortality. Primary infection occurs from direct inoculation of the skin surface, while secondary infection occurs from extension from an adjacent sinonasal process. The imaging features of secondary infection are similar to acute fulminant invasive fungal sin...

Background: Xylitol is a naturally occurring chemical compound with inherent antimicrobial properties. It has recently been found to be an additive saline solution in commercially available nasal sprays and rinses. The objective of this review was assess the effectiveness xylitol preparations treatment sinonasal disease.

Sinonasal sarcoidosis in the head and neck region is infrequent. Its occurrence can be either isolated in combination with other systems. The literature reveals that the occurrence of sinonasal sarcoidosis without lung involvement is rare. In general, sarcoidosis is a chronic non-caseating granulomatous disease of unknown origin, often identified after biopsy. In this article, we report on a be...

BACKGROUND Sinonasal adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare malignancy of the head and neck. Cavernous sinus invasion from sinonasal adenoid cystic carcinoma and its related management have rarely been investigated. This study evaluated the relationship between treatment outcome and cavernous sinus involvement in addition to other parameters. METHODS A retrospective case series study was conducte...
