Nasal injuries are a common presentation to emergency departments and primary care settings. Acute nasal injury often occurs as a result of trauma and can lead to epistaxis, nasal fracture, or even nasal septal haematoma. Epistaxis accounts for 33% of all admissions to emergency ear, nose, and throat (ENT) departments and head and neck surgery facilities, and it can require cautery or packing. ...

Saddle nose deformity due to gunshot injury is a challenging problem for the maxillofacial surgeon. Because of the severe damage to the soft and bony tissues, the reconstructive options are very limited. In the present case report, a saddle nose deformity sustained from gunshot injury was reconstructed with a porous polyethylene nasal implant after a successful expansion of the nasal dorsum ski...

BACKGROUND Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) with nasal devices (nCPAP) is widely used in the respiratory management of newborns. The present study aimed to compare the incidence of nasal trauma secondary to nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) protected with or without hydrocolloid dressing in preterm infants. METHODS This prospective controlled study was performed in t...

AIM Major complications of microscopic transnasal hypophyseal surgery (MTHS), such as cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea, carotid injury, and optic nerve injury, are very rare. However, late rhinological complications can be ignored because they are a minor cause of morbidity compared with major complications. In this study, we extensively examined postoperative rhinological complications in patien...

The nasal bones are the most commonly fractured segment of the facial skeleton; over 50% of fractures from blunt maxillofacial trauma are sustained in this area (1,2). The prominent position and the relatively poor resistance offered by the osseocartilaginous framework predispose the nasal pyramid and underlying septum to varying degrees of comminution and displacement. The injury that results ...

Cavernous sinus thrombosis is a life-threatening condition that arises as complication of facial infection, sinusitis, orbital cellulitis, pharyngitis, or otitis fungal bacterial origin after traumatic injury surgery. Rhinocerebral mucormycosis an aggressive infection that, depending on its level extension, affects nasal passages, paranasal sinuses and the region.

Biological markers in nasal secretions provide valuable information on nasal pathophysiology. However, published data on biomarker concentrations in nasal fluids are remarkably inconsistent, and the bias due to different sampling techniques, has not yet been systematically evaluated. Concentrations of various protein were repeatedly determined in nasal secretions of 16 healthy volunteers. The p...

The nose is the central part of the face, and constitutes the most prominent projection in facial geometry. This report presents five cases that sustained a chemical burn injury with associated facial mutilation resulting from contact with strong acids. The chemical burn affected the nasal architecture after inflicting a burn injury to the face. Applying bone deriving from a split skull procedu...
