Abstract Background Sphenochoanal is a rare benign sinu-nasal lesion. It arises from the sphenoid sinus and passes to choana then nasopharynx. usually presents with nasal obstruction, discharge, snoring, headache. has been reported—only once in English literature—to cause Eustachian tube dysfunction middle ear effusion (MEE) an adult male. In this report, we described 8-year-old child sphenocho...

juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (jna) is a rare, benign and locally invasive tumor. massive bleeding because of vascularity of tumor and postoperative recurrence are potential problems of management. endonasal approach reduces the rate of postoperative recurrence, intraoperative bleeding, and complications of surgery, time of operation and duration of hospitalization. in this article, we r...

We describe a case of bilateral massive conchae bullosa in a 76-year-old woman. She presented with a 2-year history of nasal obstruction and frontal headache. In light of these and other findings on anterior rhinoscopic and endoscopic examinations, we initially suspected nasal tumors. However, after a prebiopsy evaluation by computed tomography, we diagnosed bilateral massive conchae bullosa th...

OBJECTIVE To review retrospective data of 60 patients who underwent endoscopic septoplasty over a period of two years. METHODS The medical records of 60 patients who underwent endoscopic septoplasty during the period December 2008 and November 2009 at the King Hussein Medical Center (Amman, Jordan) were reviewed for surgical indications, intraoperative technique, findings, and postoperative c...

INTRODUCTION The large increase in the number of transnasal endoscopic skull base surgeries is a consequence of greater knowledge of the anatomic region, the development of specific materials and instruments, and especially the use of the nasoseptal flap as a barrier between the sinus tract (contaminated cavity) and the subarachnoid space (sterile area), reducing the high risk of contamination....

OBJECTIVE To analyze the outcome of transnasal endoscopic repair of choanal atresia (CA) in children without prolonged nasal stenting after surgery. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING Academic tertiary care children's hospital. PATIENTS Forty children aged 3 days to 15 years (mean age, 41 months) who presented with unilateral (n = 26) or bilateral (n = 14) CA and underwent surgery betwee...

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is defined as an inflammation of the nose and paranasal sinuses characterized by two or more cardinal symptoms like nasal blockage/obstruction/congestion, discharge (anterior/posterior drip), facial pain/ pressure, reduction loss smell. Methods: The 55 patients diagnosed with CRS without polyps undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery were included...

Nasal septum deviation (NSD) typically occurs following otorhinolaryngologic surgery. However, there is a lack of biomechanical parameters able to accurately evaluate the severity of NSD. The present study aimed to determine whether the deformation rate (DR) is associated with visual analogue scale (VAS) and nasal airway resistance (NAR), and to evaluate the application of DR measurements in na...

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...
