A new method using B-mode and power-Doppler-mode (pD) sonography for the investigation of changes in nasal mucosa swelling and perfusion was developed. The effect of naphazoline (0.25 mg/mL) on the nasal mucosa was visualized and recorded in 1-minute intervals in 40 patients. The effect of normal saline solution was studied in 27 healthy volunteers. The decongestant and normal saline were appli...

A novel sub-suptum mucusa approach was used to investigate the surgical method via an endonasal sub-septum-mucosa approach to pituitary adenoma under endoscopy. In this work, we aim to ensure the quality of operation and to reduce the operation trauma and complications. By endoscopy, the nasal mucosa was incised in the nasal septum, and all mucosal flaps were retained, a sub-septum-mucosa surgi...

Many etiologies are held accountable for nasal septum perforations. Topical nasal drug usage, previous surgeries, trauma, nose picking, squamous cell carcinoma, some rheumatological disorders such as granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener granulomatosis), some infectious diseases such as syphilis and leprosy are among the causes of the perforations. Occupational heavy metal exposures by inha...

Since identical twins occur as a result of the division of one egg, they have the same genetic structure. Therefore, their phenotypes and sex are also always the same. However, due to the effect of environmental factors, some of the characteristics of twins living in different regions appear to develop differently. In our case of 17-year-old maternal twins, we emphasized that nasal pathologies ...

Background: Chondrosarcomas are rare non-epithelial malignant tumours. Surgery is the primary treatment option for chondrosarcoma, with adjuvant therapy having a minor role. In cases of nasal chondrosarcoma, however, en bloc total removal by open approaches is often undesirable. Here we report a case of chondrosarcoma arising from the nasal septum, which was resected endoscopically. Case Report...

extramedullary plasmacytoma is a rare neoplasm characterized by monoclonal proliferation of plasma cells. most lesions occur in the head and neck, primarily in the upper aerodigestive tract. the nasal cavity and nasal septum are the most common sites of occurrence. in this report, three patients admitted in our clinic with history of nasal obstruction and/or epistaxis. patients were diagnosed w...

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...

Perforation of the nasal septum as a direct result of occupation has been recognized since the days of Rammazzini (Wampler, 1943). However, the unspectacular nature of the symptoms and its self-limiting nature have so conspired together to keep the condition from the public eye as to make references to it in the literature both few and cursory. Particularly is this true of perforation of the se...
