Due to the prominent location of the nose, the most common facial traumas are nasal injuries. Although nasal traumas usually require staged intervention at a later period of time, in selected cases, primary reconstruction can be effective. A 20-year-old man who was referred from the emergency department with nasal trauma is presented. He reported a fall after feeling unsteady, which caused a di...

introduction: nasal teeth eruption is a rare phenomenon. the variability of symptoms and generic history makes the diagnosis difficult. this difficulty is more challenging when the tooth is placed in the depth of septum.   case report: our case is an example of this problem. herein, we present a case of intraseptal tooth with nasal obstruction and septal deviation and recurrent sinusitis. we pr...

INTRODUCTION Nasal polyps are benign prolapsed mucosal lesions which commonly arise from the paranasal sinuses and lateral walls of the nose especially the contact areas of osteomeatal complex. Though nasal polyps arising from the nasal septum have been reported, those arising from its anterior part are extremely rare and present a diagnostic dilemma. Aetiology is multifactorial and is mainly a...

AIM To prevent and to treat nasal trauma in children properly, because it can lead to displacement or depression of the nasal bones or septum. Second, our aim was, for the patient to recognise and create a mature decision for eventual nose changes which will be made with the operative intervention or they are not mature enough and the decisions were made by their parents. MATERIAL AND METHODS...

Background: Nasal obstruction is a common problem in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Systematic evaluation of nasal obstruction remains challenging due to the high number of variables and factors that contribute to nasal obstruction. Nasal examination by means of anterior rhinoscopy is limited to the evaluation of anterior septal deviation, internal nasal valve angle, and inferior ...

IMPORTANCE Accurately characterizing nasal septal deviations is valuable for surgical planning, classifying nasal septal deviations, providing a means to accurately perform outcomes research, and understanding the causes of chronic conditions. OBJECTIVE To determine and quantify regions of septal deformity that can be used to develop a comprehensive classification system. DESIGN, SETTING, AND P...

IMPORTANCE Septal deviation commonly occurs in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP); however, the contribution of the cartilaginous and bony septum to airway obstruction in skeletally mature patients is poorly understood. OBJECTIVES To describe the internal nasal airway anatomy of skeletally mature patients with CLP and to determine the contributors to airway obstruction. DESIGN, SETTIN...

OBJECTIVES This study aims to report our experience on surgical repair of nasal septal perforations (NSP) using bilateral intranasal advancement/rotation flaps with open septoplasty technique. PATIENTS AND METHODS Medical records of 28 consecutive patients who were operated for NSP in our clinic between January 2009 and February 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic features of the ...

BACKGROUND We aimed to present our experience with and algorithm for septal perforation repair using advancement and rotation flaps. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed on 14 patients who underwent septal perforation repair.
