BACKGROUND The symptoms of allergic rhinitis (AR) greatly affect the quality of life (QoL) in the patients with AR. The correlations of nasal response to leukotriene D4 (LTD4) and histamine nasal provocation with health related QoL in AR are not clear. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the correlations of nasal response to LTD4 and histamine nasal challenge with QoL in AR. METHODS Patients randomly und...

background hyperactivity of depressor septi nasi muscle leads to smiling deformity and nasal tip depression. lateral fascicles of this muscle help in widening the nostrils. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the nasal length changes and the alar base and the alar flaring changes during smile. methods standard photographs are performed in the face and lateral view...

benign fibrous histiocytoma is a rare tumor of nose and paranasal sinuses that originates from histiocytes. ‎‎the main symptoms of patients are nasal obstruction and nasal mass. ‎our patient was presented with chief complaints of nasal obstruction and rhinorrhea non responsive to antibiotic treatment. in computed tomography scan a giant mass in left maxillary sinus and ipsilateral nasal cavity ...

Introduction: Cleft lip and palate is a congenital anomaly occurring in 3 in 1000 live birth. One the major concern in this patient is about cleft gap and its surgical problems. Several surgical and non-surgical procedures have been done to decrease this gap. They aimed to achieve the more esthetic results as well as feeding success. Nasoalveolar Molding (NAM) is a new method for reshaping nasa...

BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnoea is a common condition. Treatment with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), while effective and safe, causes nasal congestion and stuffiness in some patients. The hypothesis that this study aimed to test was that nasal CPAP with a mouth leak and subsequent unidirectional airflow across the nasal mucosa causes an increase in nasal mucosal blood flu...

Introduction: Ectopic teeth occur in a wide variety of sites, including the maxillary sinus, mandibular condyle, coronoid process, orbital, and nasal cavities. Reported symptoms and signs associated with nasal teeth include facial pain, external nasal deformities, foul-smelling rhinorrhea, recurrent epistaxis, and oronasal fistula. Ectopic teeth occurring bilaterally in the nasal cavity is ver...

Introduction: Supernumerary teeth are frequently reported in dental clinical practice; however, eruption in nasal cavities and paranasal sinuses is an extremely rare clinical entity.   Case Report: We report two cases with a history of recurrent nasal discharge and obstruction. In both cases, clinical and radiological findings confirmed the presence of an inverted supern...

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...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To evaluate the relationship between subjective symptoms of nasal obstruction and the corresponding nasal anatomical parameters using paranasal computed tomography (PNS CT). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review at a tertiary referral center. METHODS We studied 277 patients who underwent evaluation by the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation scale and a visual analog...

to evaluate results of concurrent functional endoscopic sinus surgery (fess) and nasal plastic surgery in terms of safety, efficacy and patient satisfaction, and compare them with the results of single procedures. we conducted a prospective case control study in three groups of patients with chronic sinusitis and nasal deformity; 25 cases had concurrent fess and rhinoplasty, 25 controls had fes...
