IMPORTANCE The caudal septal extension (CSE) graft maneuver commonly is used to adjust the nasal tip projection. It can, however, be difficult to stabilize and straighten the CSE graft, especially when the procedure is performed through an endonasal approach. Because the stabilization and correct positioning of the CSE graft are vital for achievement of the desired outcome, new approaches must ...

SUMMARY Evolving techniques in interventional neuroradiology have widened therapeutic options, allowing treatment even in complex cases. Complex neuroendovascular procedures (eg, stent-assisted coiling, stent placement in X- or Y-techniques) require precise delineation of cerebral vasculature and devices. However, because of the complex anatomy or if an ideal projection is not possible, visuali...

OBJECTIVES To discuss the evaluation of the overprojected nasal tip, present an algorithm of various treatments for deprojection of the nasal tip, and introduce our experience of greater than 10 years with medial crural overlay. DESIGN Retrospective review of a large sequential series of patients undergoing rhinoplasty who were treated with various deprojection techniques by the senior author...

Styloid process is a spinous projection from the temporal bone at the base of the cranium. Its dimensions are highly variable. Normally, the process is cylindrical, straight and tapers towards the tip but, occasionally it is angulated. The shape and the dimensions of the styloid process have great clinical significance since any morphological alterations of it may disturb the adjacent anatomica...

Skrjabingylus santaceciliae n. sp. is described based on specimens from the frontal sinuses of a hooded skunk, Mephitis macroura, collected from the Area de Conservación Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Skrjabingylus santaceciliae n. sp. differs from the other 5 species in the genus in having pointed spicule tips that lack a rounded or lobed formation and by lacking a prominent distal projection at the ...

Computed tomographic (CT) examinations were performed in seven patients after cochlear implant surgery. Preimplantation CT demonstrated the petrous anatomy well and revealed an abnormality in one case. Postimplantation CT adequately assessed electrode position in all cases. Malposition of the active electrode was identified in one patient. Electrode position was correlated with postimplantation...

This study describes Crenosoma brasiliense (Nematoda, Metastrongyloidea), a new species parasitic in bronchi and bronchioles of Galictis cuja (Molina) (Carnivora, Mustelidae) from Brazil. This species differs from other 11 species of Crenosoma by having a cuticular projection at the distal end of the spicules, forming a prominent blade at the tip of the spicule, a vulval cuticular appendage wit...
