A 55-years-old woman presented with profound sudden loss of vision in left eye (LE) after an injury a road side accident. She had normal right eye. Left perception light (PL) accurate projection (PR) all quadrants, total hyphema, chemosis supero-nasal conjunctiva and intraocular pressure (IOP). B-scan LE showed extrusion the lens into subconjunctival space called phacocele, vitreous hemorrhage....

Background: Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) is a non-invasive ventilatory mode, which delivers mechanical ventilation via nasal tubes or prongs. The present study was conducted to compare the efficacy of NIPPV and nasal continuous positive airway pressure ventilation (NCPAP) in reducing the need for intubation in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS)....

BACKGROUND The decision to resect the middle turbinate (MT) during functional endoscopic sinus surgery is controversial. Although there have been a variety of studies that examined the functional outcome related to this maneuver, very few studies evaluated the potential for complications, in particular, epistaxis. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine if resection of the MT during functional endos...

choanal polyps are a form of nasal polyps that grow toward the choana with a single stalk. septochoanal polyp is a rare entity that originates from the mucosa of the nasal septum with choanal extension. the most common site of its origin is mainly the superior aspect of the posterior portion of the nasal septum. however, metaplastic ossification is a rare event in nasal polyp and to the best of...

Epistaxis is a common complication in patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. Its treatment is generally aimed at controlling the frequency and severity of nasal hemorrhage and involves surgery, transcatheter embolization, topical treatment, or a combination. Despite this multitude of treatment methods, the long-term prognosis for many patients remains poor. We describe a patient i...

Partial middle turbinate avulsion is a rare complication of nasotracheal intubation. Patients usually experience a brisk hemorrhage at the time of injury. Postoperatively, some patients develop a unilateral nasal obstruction, while others are asymptomatic. We present an unusual case in which a patient became symptomatic many years after the incident. We hope to raise awareness that a traumatic ...

Negative pressure pulmonary edema following tracheal extubation is an uncommon and life-threatening complication of patients undergoing endotracheal intubation and general anesthesia for surgical procedures. The common pattern in these cases is the occurrence of an episode of airway obstruction upon emergence from general anesthesia, usually caused by laryngospasm. Patients who are predisposed ...

Background: The cornerstone of the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is respiratory support and surfactant replacement therapy. The administration of surfactant through a thin intratracheal catheter is one of the methods used to reduce one of the standard technique complications of a surfactant injection (Intubation-Surfactant-Extubation method [INSURE]). The aim of this study wa...

Computed Radiography For computed radiography, a technologist places an 8 × 10-inch imaging plate into the upright Bucky, setting it directly onto the bottom lip of the cassette holder. The imaging plate should be pulled out of the T he nasal bones consist of 2 fused bones that help to form the bridge of the nose and can vary in size among adults (see Figure 1). Because the nose is a prominent ...
