Although various techniques have been described for treatment of severe nose deformities, these problems have high revision rates.  Conventional nasal septal surgery may not be adequate for all cases. A 21-year-old male patient with nose deformity underwent a nasal surgery. Patient had both functional and aesthetic nasal problems. Rigid fibular bone graft was used for corrective nasal ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to review the imaging findings of nasal septal abscess in 2 patients with immunosuppression. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two patients with immunosuppression were identified as having a nasal septal abscess, and correlative CT imaging in both patients was evaluated.

Nasal septal perforation presents a distinct challenge to otorhinolaryngologists, and is a problem for patients. Although it has a variety of causes, previous septal surgery is the most common reason. We present a 57-year-old woman who had recurrent chronic sinusitis. A left nasal mass was noted and excised via endoscopic sinus surgery. Invasive aspergillosis sinusitis was proven both grossly a...

PURPOSE Numerous methods have been utilized to repair nasal septal perforation with varying degrees of success; however, no consensus has been reached on nasoseptal perforation repair. Here, the authors describe a surgical method based on human dermal allograft (Surederm, Hans Biomed Corp. Korea) for the repair of nasal septal perforations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eleven patients with a nasal s...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To evaluate the correlation between growth differences of the face and nasal septal deviation, and to evaluate whether developmental differences of the face have an effect on nontraumatic nasal septal deviation (DNS). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. METHODS Twenty-five patients with DNS who underwent facial aesthetic surgery and had an ostiomeatal unit-computed tomog...

OBJECTIVES Nasal septal perforation is an anatomic defect of the cartilaginous and bone tissues of the nasal septum. Many approaches and techniques to repair nasal septal perforations have been reported on. The purpose of this paper is to report on our surgical technique and the results of the treatment for nasal septal perforations. METHODS From May 2001 to March 2008, 14 patients (12 males ...

A 20-year-old man with nasal obstruction underwent septoplasty due to nasal septal deviation. Nasal packs were inserted at the end of surgery and removed 48 hours after surgery. Twenty-four hours after removal of nasal packs, there was necrosis in both sides of septal mucosa and in bilateral inferior turbinates. Nasal swab culture was performed from both nasal cavities. Enterobacter cloacae was...

BACKGROUND Septal ulceration is a mucositis involving the mucous membranes of the nasal septum. Patients often complain of nasal irritation, crusting, and epistaxis. Presently, there is no gold standard for the treatment of septal ulcerations. Currently described therapies include local debridement, septal dermoplasty, septal flap reconstruction, and cadaveric dermal graft repair; however, no t...
