Nasal vestibular stenosis is not only an esthetic, but also a functional problem for the patient. It is caused by disruption of the nasal vestibular lining with secondary proliferation of granulation and fibrous tissue. Various causes account for the development of nasal vestibular stenosis, including trauma, infection, and iatrogenic injury to the vestibular skin. Although a number of techniqu...

BACKGROUND Man has been egotist by nature and from Ancient time man has been endeavouring to bring under power other human beings. With the passage of time and growth of civilization this trend has been increased. Now there are more dangerous ways of violence and torture in use for twisting and turning people around. Inflection of fabricated injuries is one of the ways for fulfilment of his lus...

Background Lobular capillary hemangioma is a rare benign tumor, most frequently located in the head or neck region, the nasal cavity being uncommonly affected. Its etiopathogenesis is not fully established, although traumatic and hormonal factors have been implied. Case Description A 50-year-old female patient underwent an uneventful endoscopic transsphenoidal removal of a pituitary cystic macr...

OBJECTIVE To compare an open vs a closed approach to the nasal pyramid for the initial repair of nasal fractures. METHODS Retrospective medical record review of 49 patients with acute nasal fractures treated by a single surgeon during a 5-year period. Patients underwent a closed approach to the nasal pyramid (Boise elevator only) or an open approach using rhinoplasty techniques, including ras...

We hypothesized that augmentation of antioxidant defenses with exogenous superoxide dismutase (SOD), an enzyme that provides an initial defense against oxidative injury, would attenuate allergen-induced nasal congestion in the canine model of allergic rhinitis. Nasal congestion was evaluated by the measurements of nasal resistance and the volume of the nasal passage. In five nonsensitized dogs,...

OBJECTIVES To determine the most common mechanisms of traumatic nasal deformity referred to pediatric otolaryngology. To examine the efficacy of closed reduction of nasal fractures in children and adolescents based on the parents' and surgeons' ratings of post-reduction nasal symmetry. METHODS Case series and chart review within an urban, tertiary pediatric otolaryngology practice. RESULTS ...

Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) as the primary mode of respiratory support in preterm neonates with respiratory distress is associated with reduced needs of surfactant therapy and invasive ventilation, and improved survival without bronchopulmonary dysplasia [1,2]. Despite convincing evidence of benefits, use and success rate of CPAP remain variable across different neonatal un...

Pain about the bridge of the nose is often a diagnostic dilemma. There is an important recognizable subgroup who may, as a consequence of involvement of the external nasal nerve in nasal injury, exhibit neuralgic pain after a latent interval. Temporary relief by anaesthesia can be achieved and cure is possible by division of the anterior ethmoidal nerve. This rare cause of facial pain is presen...

the main issues in nasal surgery are to stabilize the nose in the good position after surgery and preserve the cartilages and bones in the favorable situation and reduce the risk of deviation recurrence. also it is necessary to avoid the synechia formation, nasal valve narrowing, hematoma and bleeding. due to the above mentioned problems and in order to solve and minimize them nasal packing, na...
