OBJECTIVES To identify preoperative risk factors and surgical techniques that influence the risk of developing postoperative nasal tip bossae in rhinoplasty. A secondary objective was to review the characteristics, management techniques, and outcomes of those study patients with postoperative bossae. DESIGN Univariate and multivariate analysis carried out in a case series. SETTING Private f...

some dermatologic manifestations are common in ulcerative colitis (uc). herein, we present a 36-year-old woman with ulcerative colitis and uncommon nasal mucosa pyoderma vegetans. the patient presented to our hospital with symptoms of active colitis and a concomitant 3×4×5 cm dermato-mucosal lesion in her left nasal lumen. after surgery of the mucosal lesion, the treatment for her active coliti...

AIMS To compare the corneal refractive changes induced after 3.0 mm temporal and nasal corneal incisions in bilateral cataract surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study comprised a consecutive case series of 60 eyes from 30 patients with bilateral phacoemulsification that were implanted with a 6.0 mm foldable intraocular lens through a 3.0 mm horizontal clear corneal incision (tem...

Management of the nasal tip is the most challenging step in rhinoplasty. Control over nasal tip projection is essential. A variety of techniques can be used to improve the position of nasal tip. The aim of the present study was to compare the changes of nasal tip between a novel tip plasty technique and the conventional sheen graft one. In this clinical trial study, 60 patients referring for rh...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect on snoring of structural nasal valve dilatation with butterfly spreader grafts in patients with nasal valve insufficiency. DESIGN Retrospective medical chart review and telephone follow-up; mean +/- SD follow-up time, 20.7 +/- 11.34 months (range, 3-48 months). SETTINGS Tertiary care referral center. SUBJECTS A total of 37 snoring patients with nasal valve...

Children with cystic fibrosis frequently have nasal polyps and sinusitis. This study addresses (para-) nasal disease in 39 adult cystic fibrosis patients. Fifteen patients (39%) had recently had serious nasal symptoms and 26% sinusitis. Seventeen (44%) had nasal polyposis. Almost all sinus radiographs taken showed opacification, which was unrelated to symptoms. Polypectomies and antral irrigati...

Background and Objectives:Headache secondary to sinonasal disease can improve after surgery, but few prospective studies have investigated this outcome. We aimed to evaluate the characteristics of headaches, such as clinical features, underlying disease, and postoperative improvement in patients who underwent nasal surgery, and to identify the characteristics that reliably predict rhinogenic he...

Nasal packs are indispensable in ENT practice. This study reviews current indications, effectiveness and risks of nasal packs and stents. In endoscopic surgery, nasal packs should always have smooth surfaces to minimize mucosal damage, improve wound healing and increase patient comfort. Functional endoscopic endonasal sinus surgery allows the use of modern nasal packs, since pressure is no long...

INTRODUCTION Mucoceles are mucus-filled, epithelial-lined sacs that slowly develop in the paranasal sinuses when sinus or concha bullosa drainage is obstructed by inflammatory processes, trauma, or prior surgery. They are extremely rare in children. Symptoms usually arise from the nasal obstruction or compression of neighboring structures. CASE PRESENTATION This case report describes a 5-year...

BACKGROUND Injectable fillers are sometimes necessary to correct slight skin irregularities. However, there have been reports of necrosis after injection of alloplastic materials and heterogeneous transplants. On the other hand, the advantages of autogenous tissue grafts over those fillers are well established. Volumetric reshaping of the face with autologous tissue injection is a popular and r...
