INTRODUCTION Crooked or deviated nose is a deviation of the nose from the straight vertical position of the face. Extensive pneumatization of the middle turbinate, also called concha bullosa or bullous middle turbinate (BMT) is known to be one of the possible etiologic factors in nasal obstruction, recurrent sinusitis, and headache. There is no study concerning a link between BMT and crooked no...

Patients who undergo corrective surgery for cleft lip are known to be at risk for subsequently developing secondary nasal deformity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Y-shaped conchal cartilage transplantation on the correction of nasal deformity secondary to cleft lip and its influence on mental health. Sixteen patients with nasal deformity secondary to cleft lip admitted...

This article presents the characteristics of changes in hearing and cerebral hemadynamics patients with deviation nasal septum. The septum occurs cartilaginous bone regions, both separately at same time. Deformations can be a different nature (bend, crest, spike) localization. They are one two-sided. Spines ridges more often localized junction quadrangular cartilage perpendicular plate, ploughs...

Nose Lateral osteotomy is known as a major constituent of nose plastic surgery to correct nasal bone deformity and reducing nasal bone width. Different methods of osteotomy have been introduced so far that are categorized into two common internal and external methods. The surgeon has little control on this phase of nose plastic surgery. Several complications have been mentioned for Lateral oste...

Relapsing polychondritis is a rare connective tissue disease of unknown etiology characterized by recurrent inflammation, degeneration and deformity of auricular cartilage. The autoimmune inflammation may also affect cartilage at other sites including nose, larynx, trachea and bronchi. Here, we present a case of relapsing polychondritis in a patient with ulcerative colitis. We also review the p...

The depressor septi nasi muscle (DSNM) is very important in nose dynamics. Its hyperactivity in some rhinoplasty patients while they smiling or speaking causes a deformity that includes drooping of the nasal tip, elevation and shortening of the upper lip, and increased maxillary gingival show.

Augmenting the nasal dorsum is often a difficult task, because of the irregularities that might be visible under the thin dorsal nasal skin. Saddle noses are especially difficult to correct because of the need to provide strong structural support to the nose while at the same time achieving an aesthetic dorsum. Stable reconstruction of the cartilaginous septum is the critical challenge in the o...
