Introduction A nasolabial cyst is an ectodermal development cyst. It presents as a fullness of canine fossa, nasal ala, or vestibule of the nose. It is rare and usually small. Treatment consists of complete surgical excision or transnasal endoscopic marsupialization. Objective To describe a giant nasolabial cyst case treated using Neumann incision. Case Report A 37-year-old man was referred to ...

THE whistling deformity is still seen following bilateral cleft lip repairs and is basically due to lack of tissue in the prolabium which is too small to supply adequately both columella and philtrum. Furthermore the prolabium contains no muscle, its vermilion is less than normal and no sulcus separates it from the premaxilla so that the whole lip is tethered at its centre. The columella is usu...

A 3-month-old female infant who presented with patent sagittal suture and loss of weight is described. Physical examination revealed a large sagittal and metopic suture showing delayed closure, a high-arched palate, saddle nose, hypertelorism and nonpalpable edges of the bilateral clavicles. The clavicles also showed undue mobility. Radiological investigations of the cranial skeletal abnormalit...

1 Can RhinOPlaSty Be a 2-StaGe OPeRatiOn? The idea is to inform patients with large noses, especially those with a family background of large noses, of the possibility of 2 stages of surgery. Any operation to reduce the size of the nose substantially can subject the patient to the possibility of pollybeak deformity and disappointment, followed by reconstruction of the nose with a graft, etc. I ...

s of Papers read at 14th Meeting, Bristol, October 18-19, 1968 Nasal Obstruction in the Newborn Peter M. Dunn University of Bristol The relatively narrow nasal passages of the newborn infant create a high resistance to airflow and are readily occluded. Most newborn infants are 'obligatory' nose-breathers for the first few weeks of life, except when crying. Thus the newborn infant is peculiarly ...

BACKGROUND Severity of the primary unilateral cleft lip/nose deformity (UCL/N) is postulated to play a key role in postoperative complications, aesthetic result, and need for secondary surgery. There is no validated and widely accepted classification scheme of initial cleft severity. The purpose of this study was to validate the Unilateral Cleft Lip Cleft Severity Index as a reliable tool for e...

Septal deviation constitutes an important component of both esthetic deformity and airway compromise in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP). The posterior parts of the nasal septum presented greater deviation than the anterior parts in patients with complete unilateral CLP. Le Fort I down-fracture provides better access to the nasal septum than intranasal incision during rhinoplasty, espec...

Objective: To study dynamical changes in the functional state of nose patients with nasal deformity (ND) combination diseases cavity (DNC) and paranasal sinuses (PNS) before after single-step surgical treatment. Methods: The was studied 184 ND DNC PS aged 16 to 45 years. were divided into two groups 92 people each. Group 1 consisted septum (NSD) combined DNC, group 2 NSD PNS. included rhinoscop...
