Hemangiomas are common, benign tumors which arise from the proliferation of endothelial cells surrounding blood-filled cavities. Cavernous hemangioma nasal cavity is a rare clinical entity but it should be considered in differential diagnosis nasopharyngeal mass and cases with epistaxis. This lesion usually found on lateral wall more common elderly no sex preponderance. We present case cavernou...

Hemangiomas are benign tumors originating in the vascular tissues of skin, mucosa, muscles, glands, and bones. Although these tumors are common lesions of the head and neck, they rarely occur in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Cavernous haemangioma of the lateral wall of the nasopharynx has not previously been reported. We examined the clinical, radiological and therapeutic management o...

Nasal morphology plays an important functional role in the maintenance of upper airway health. Identification of functional regions, based on morphological attributes, assists in correlating location to primary purpose. The effects of morphological variation on heat and water mass transport in congested and patent nasal airways were investigated by examining nasal cross-sectional MRI images fro...

Salt-sensitive hypertension is common in people of African origin, and may be caused by increased transepithelial sodium absorption. The pH of nasal secretions is negatively correlated with the difference in Na(+) concentration between nasal secretions and plasma, and may be a marker of transepithelial sodium absorption. Nasal pH was measured using a probe sited under the inferior turbinate. Me...

Nasal gliomas are rare benign congenital midline tumors composed of heterotopic neuroglial tissue. They have potential for intracranial extension through a bony defect in the skull base. Neuroimaging is essential for identifying nasal lesions and for determining their exact location and any possible intracranial extension. Computed tomography is often the initial imaging study obtained because ...

Nasal glial heterotopia (also known as "nasal glioma"), is a rare developmental abnormality seen in a wide age group but typically presenting at birth or in early childhood. Failure to recognize the entity is the principle difficulty in diagnosis. Ten cases of nasal glial heterotopic diagnosed between 1970 and 2000 were identified. Histologic and immunohistochemical features were evaluated and ...

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is tumour almost exclusively seen in adolescent males, constituting less than 1% of all neoplasms in head and neck. They are benign and locally spreading and are highly vascular in nature and thus prove to be a surgical challenge because of its complex anatomical location. Here, we present a case report of a 18-year-old male presenting with a mass in his lef...

We present the case of a 9-year-old male patient, lacking morbid antecedents, referred to our service due to 2 episodes of massive epistaxis. The first one was selflimiting, while the second required anterior nasal packing. Physical examination revealed a tumour in the left nostril, with a vascularised appearance. The initial diagnosis was nasopharyngeal angiofibroma, due to the appearance of t...

A 58-year-old man presented with a six-month history of intermittent blood-stained posterior nasal discharge. Five years ago, he had a three-week episode of fitful light headaches. Nasal ventilation, olfactory sensation, and facial sensation were normal; there were no ophthalmological complaints. Coronal computed tomography (CT) scans revealed soft masses in the bilateral sphenoid sinuses with ...

Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is an uncommon, aggressive tumour, which carries a poor prognosis. SDC affects the major salivary glands, usually occurring in the parotid gland. A 76-year-old male patient presented with right-sided nasal obstruction and rhinorrhoea. A polypoidal mass was seen in the right inferior turbinate mimicking a benign neoplasm. Histological examination following wide exci...
