INTRODUCTION Septal deviation is a common disease seen in daily otorhinolaryngology practice and septoplasty is a commonly performed surgical procedure. Caudal septum deviation is also a challenging pathology for ear, nose, and throat specialists. Many techniques are defined for caudal septal deviation. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of caudal septal extension graft (CSEG) applicatio...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of septal deviation, septoplasty, and smoking upon nasal mucociliary clearance by using saccharine test. METHODS Included in this study were 40 patients (15 women and 25 men) who had septal deviation and septoplasty surgery performed between March and June 2006. Patients are classified into three groups: group I (n = 20) nonsmoking patients who had septopl...

THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA SYNDROME (OSAS), MAXILLOFACIAL MALFORMATIONS, AND MALOCCLUSIONS HAS ATTRACTED ATTENTION. Many patients with OSAS show craniofacial abnormalities involving both the jaws as well as skeletal structures of the respiratory dynamic space. These aberrations may be apparent very early in life. Nasal septal deviation is known to reduce airflow and increas...

Background:Otitis media is an inflammation of part or all the mucoperiosteal lining middle ear cleft. It can be acute, subacute and chronic otitis infection. Septal deviation has got many unwanted changes such as: nasal obstruction, mucosal changes. Methodology:A descriptive clinical study, carried out on adult patients consulting ENT department at medical city. Those have a unilateral suppurat...

Objective: Twenty patients who presented to the ENT, head and neck department with nasal septal abscess were retrospectively studied. Design: Retrospective study. Setting: KVG Medical College and Hospital, Sullia. Study period: January 2006 to June 2010 (54 months) Patients: Twenty patients (17 males and 3 females), aged between 7 to 45 years (average age 25.25 years), with nasal septal abscess...

Introduction: Investigators believe that anatomical abnormalities in the sinonasal region can be the cause of some chronic and refractory headaches that may respond well to surgical intervention. This study presents the prevalence of headache in patients with nasal septal deviation and their response to surgical treatment over a 2-year follow-up period. Materials and Methods: This descriptiv...

Background and Objectives. Nasal obstruction due to deviated nasal septum is a common problem bringing a patient to an otorhinolaryngologist. Occasionally, these patients may also complain of olfactory impairment. We proposed to study the effect of septal deviation on the lateralised olfactory function and the change in olfaction after surgery of the septum (septoplasty). Methods. Forty-one pat...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Caudal septal deviation interrupts normal nasal breathing, due to the narrowing of the external valve area and nasal valve angle. In this study, we found a different approach for correction of caudal septal deviation with no associated deformity of the external nose. STUDY DESIGN Individual case-control study. METHODS The 39 patients completed questionnaires by intervi...

Introduction: Nasal septal hematoma (NSH) is a complication of nasal trauma, which its emergency treatment drainage hematoma. Delayed may result in necrosis the cartilage and saddle nose deformity. Case Presentation: Here, we reported 15-year-old girl presented with NSH associated dental local anesthetic injection, led to septum necrosis. Conclusions: Computerized tomography (CT) scanning was p...
