IMPORTANCE Successful surgical correction of nasal tip position requires preoperative analysis. Perceived adequate nasal tip position depends on its relationship with other facial features. Nasal tip position can be affected by the subnasal contour, proportion of facial height, and relative facial size and shape. The relation of these factors to the nasolabial angle may not be as important as p...

BACKGROUND Anterior segmental osteotomy has become an established surgical technique to achieve functional occlusion and improve the facial profile in the treatment of maxillary protrusion. Postoperative nasal changes, however, are somewhat unpredictable. The here presented subapical anterior maxillary segmental osteotomy has been developed to avoid such unintended nasal changes. PATIENTS AND...

A novel application of the adult Merocel nasal pack Dear Sir, Post-adenoidectomy haemorrhage is a potentially life-threatening complication with a prevalence of 0.38–1.5%. – 3 Post-nasal packs are the preferred haemostatic solution. Eighty-seven percent of ENT consultants questioned preferred using them, in a recent survey, with 78% leaving them in overnight. We recently treated a four-year-old...

While the nasal septum exerts a morphogenetic influence on the facial skeleton, there is evidence that this relationship is highly variable. To better appreciate the precise role of the septum, it is important understand the variable interaction between the septum and surrounding skeleton during ontogeny. Here we analyzed nasal septal and facial skeletal postnatal phenotypic variation using cro...

IMPORTANCE The treatment of epistaxis is variable. It is important to analyze the effect of the available interventions on patient outcomes. OBJECTIVE To determine demographic, management, and outcome trends in patients admitted with a primary diagnosis of epistaxis and treated with conservative management, nasal packing, arterial ligation, or embolization. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS...

This paper provides evidence for the presence of Gazella gazella on Fmur Island of Iran in the Persian Gulf. The species has not hitherto been reported from Iran. Based on univariate and multivariate analysis of a number of morphological features of the skull including horn length, premaxillae type, shape of nasal bones and skull breadth it is concluded that the Iranian population represents ...

for many years, it was thought that nasal polyps are small tumors of the nasal or sinus mucosa. however, it is now believed that nasal polyps are formed as a result of frequent local swelling of nasal or sinus mucosa, which enlarge by increasing sub-mucosal edema and then expose to the air pipe and cause some symptoms. however, the main cause of polyp formation is not exactly understood. the pr...
