Septal deviations are common causes of disordered nasal breathing. The caudal septum is of special interest as it contributes to shape and support for nasal breathing and aesthetics. Caudal end septoplasty involves correction of deviation while maintaining adequate support and tip projection. Here, the caudal septum’s contribution to the internal nasal valve area is highlighted and an explanati...

OBJECTIVES To measure the width of the nasal septum in the region of the internal nasal valve using radiographic images to support use of open septorhinoplasty for alteration of the internal nasal valve and to compare short-term patient satisfaction for open septorhinoplasty vs endonasal septoplasty. STUDY DESIGN Radiographic study and chart review. METHODS The width of the nasal septum at ...

This study is aimed at assessing the reliability of morphometric measurements performed on the frontal sinus, nasal septum and maxillary sinus in personal identification using three dimensional Cone Beam Computed Tomography. This study propounds the significance of combined use of all three particularly maxillary sinus and nasal septum pattern in individual identification. This retrospective st...

BACKGROUND The nasal septal deviation (NSD) is one of the major causes of nasal obstruction. This condition increases upper airway resistance. In This study we evaluated the mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP) in patients with markedly deviated septum. METHODS Sixty two patients with NSD (Age range: 26-45 years, 34 men and 28 women) were included in the study. Mean pulmonary artery press...

introduction: spontaneous perforation of the nasal septum is an uncommon condition. nasal inhalation of substances such as cocaine has long been linked to this perforation. case report: this report describes the case of a 46-year-old woman who was addicted to methamphetamine and who presented with perforation of the nasal septum.this is the first reported case of nasal septal necrosis linked to...

Septal deviation constitutes an important component of both esthetic deformity and airway compromise in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP). The posterior parts of the nasal septum presented greater deviation than the anterior parts in patients with complete unilateral CLP. Le Fort I down-fracture provides better access to the nasal septum than intranasal incision during rhinoplasty, espec...

Nasal septum abscesses caused by uncontrolled diabetes mellitus are rare. We report 3 cases. Very few cases have been published concerning non-traumatic nasal septum abscesses. The development of the condition, possible complications, and treatment are discussed.

OBJECTIVES Nasal septum deformation (NSD) may cause breathing dysfunction. The reason for a septal deviation is the developmental anomaly in growth of the elastic septum or its skeleton. Such a type of deviation is called physiological. Some deviations can result from the prenatal trauma. The aim of the work was the analysis of the anatomy of the nasal cavity with a special interest focused on ...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Nasal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTL) often has an infiltrative pattern in computed tomography that makes them difficult to distinguish from benign inflammatory diseases. This study aimed to design a method of measuring the thickness of the nasal floor and nasal septum, determine the critical value of mucosal thickness that may implicate these NKTL cases from benign ...
