BACKGROUND The symptoms and treatments for nasal obstruction are numerous and common. Yet, a consensus on a surgical approach or, even more importantly, how to define the success of any approach is lacking in the literature. A disease-specific outcomes instrument recently developed by the American Academy of Otolaryngology, known as the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) scale, has all...

we reported ct of a case of giant organized hematoma originating from the inferior turbinate without any paranasal sinuses involvement, with an emphasis on different patterns of enhancement of the tumor on enhanced ct scans. this case was exceptional because of unusual location and difficulties in diagnosis. moreover, organized hematoma of nasal cavity should be considered in the differential d...

Osteoma is the most common benign tumor of the paranasal sinuses. Turbinate osteomas are very rare and only four middle turbinate, one superior turbinate and one inferior turbinate osteoma cases have been reported. We present a rare case of osteoma of the left middle turbinate in a patient presented with unilateral nasal obstruction and epiphora that was removed endoscopically, and conduct a li...

Objective When the use of the nasoseptal flap for endoscopic skull base reconstruction has been precluded, the posterior pedicle inferior turbinate flap is a viable option for small midclival defects. Limitations of the inferior turbinate flap include its small surface area and limited arc of rotation. We describe a novel extended inferior turbinate flap that expands the reconstructive applicat...

It has been postulated that the nasal mucosa, like other human tissues, is affected by a complex interactive network of neuropeptides, cytokines, allergic and inflammatory mediators and hormones such as estrogen, in which associations between symptoms (e.g. nasal stuffiness and coryza) and hormonal variations deriving from pregnancy, use of hormonal contraceptives and menstrual cycle phases are...

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects adenoid and nasal pathologies in paediatric patients with recurrent epistaxis.Methods: A total 100 (61 boys, 39 girls) individuals aged 2–17 years (mean age: 8.9 ± 3.6 years) were included study. Anterior rhinoscopy flexible endoscopy used examine all patients. epistaxis duration, treatment active by parents, medical history, interventio...
