Introduction: There is no single test as a gold standard for the diagnosis of allergic rhinitis (AR). The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness and validity of nasal smear as a quick, easy and inexpensive diagnostic method for diagnosis of allergic rhinitis. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in a university hospital setting. Nasal smears were taken from 39 patients wit...

Foreign body (FB) in the nose is a frequent situation seen generally among children. A variety of objects left in different sites of the nose has been reported in the literature. Insertion of a FB to the nose is generally via the anterior nares. In this report, an unusual entry site for a nasal FB in a neglected trauma patient is presented. FB should be suspected and investigated in children af...

This study reports a case of an 8-year-old boy who suffered from a dog bite injury to the nose. The amputated nasal tissue measured approximately 1.0 × 1.5 cm and included part of the tip, alar, and soft triangle subunits. Both ends of an artery of less than 0.5 mm were found, and replantation was performed. Chemical leeching was performed postoperatively. At 5-year follow-up, a good aesthetic ...

We present a case of successful artery only total nose replantation in an 18-month-old child, with 10 years of follow-up and full sensory recovery despite no nerve repair. The common absence of veins for anastomosis does not prevent successful replant, as demonstrated with the use of Hirudo medicinalis use in this unique case. We comprehensively review the literature of this rare and complex in...

Partial middle turbinate avulsion is a rare complication of nasotracheal intubation. Patients usually experience a brisk hemorrhage at the time of injury. Postoperatively, some patients develop a unilateral nasal obstruction, while others are asymptomatic. We present an unusual case in which a patient became symptomatic many years after the incident. We hope to raise awareness that a traumatic ...

An orbital fracture is a common complication of trauma to the eye. One of the classical signs of such a fracture is the presence of subconjunctival emphysema as a consequence of direct passage of air from the nasal sinuses to the orbit.' 2 We have treated a patient who suffered from subconjunctival emphysema after trauma due to direct penetration of compressed air to the orbit, without orbital ...

Introduction It is now possible to map areas of proposed brain resection. If these are near speech and motor regions, intraoperative stimulation may prevent permanent injury while allowing a more complete resection (1). This requires an awake, cooperative patient to assess motor and verbal response. We describe the first reported case of an awake craniotomy, in an adolescent, using only a nasal...

BACKGROUND The efficiency of nasal surgeries can be determined by objective or subjective methods. We have assessed the effect of nasal obstruction after different nasal surgeries using Acoustic Rhinometry (AR) and Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) Scale. METHODS Between May 2011 and May 2012, 40 young adult patients and 10 healthy volunteers as control group who referred to ...

A 43-year old man presented with chest pain and fever. He had inadvertently inhaled a nasal piercing which caused injury to the descending aorta through the left bronchus. The resulting pseu-doaneurysm was treated with endovascular stenting after left carotido-subclavian bypass (Figs 1 and 2). The patient died 2 years later due to drug overdose. Figure 1: CT scan showing the false aneurysm (ast...

To explore a nursing method which for suitable neonatal nasal continuous positive airway pressure to prevent injury. 106 newborns treated with admitted in our hospital from January 2020 October were selected as the study subjects and divided into observation group (n=53) control according randomized principle, of neonates used U-shaped plugs during transnasal ventilation, while cut hydrocolloid...
