OBJECTIVES To describe the split hump technique (SHT) and to examine its effectiveness for correction of an overprojected nasal dorsum in patients undergoing aesthetic rhinoplasty. METHODS This prospective study included 97 patients. Objective assessment was performed using a short, practical questionnaire. Investigation focused on nasal patency and the patient perception of body image in rel...

<p class="abstract">Reconstitution of the facial profile can be achieved in a depressed‘midface “, by supplementation nasal osteo-cartilagious skeleton utilizing autologous tissue or synthetic prosthesis, Bone from iliac crest and cartilages septum, cymba conchal rib are accepted grafts wide use. The costo-chondral junctional cartilage is ideal situations demanding excess graft, then harv...

Relapsing Polychondritis is a rare disease of unknown aetiology, characterized by recurrent inflammation of the cartilages in different organs. Inflammation of the pinnae and nasal cartilages are the most common features, but the eustachian tubes, trachea, larynx, bronchi, cochlea and vestibule, and costochondral joints are frequently involved. An arthropathy and an ocular inflammation are ofte...

Introduction: Cleft lip and palate is a congenital anomaly occurring in 3 in 1000 live birth. One the major concern in this patient is about cleft gap and its surgical problems. Several surgical and non-surgical procedures have been done to decrease this gap. They aimed to achieve the more esthetic results as well as feeding success. Nasoalveolar Molding (NAM) is a new method for reshaping nasa...

Diced rib cartilage is an acceptable option in severe nasal deformities. We present our preliminary experience in KAMC in nasal septoplasties using the autologous diced costal cartilage. This is a retrospective study of the 22 cases who needed the autologous diced costal cartilage in our centre in 4 years. All our patients needed autologous diced rib cartilages. Twelve were wrapped with tempora...

OBJECTIVE To present technical modifications to the original presurgical nasal remodeling appliance introduced in 1991. The purpose of the modifications is to improve the cleft nasal deformity before unilateral and bilateral cleft lip repair. METHOD The principle behind this technique, known as dynamic presurgical nasal remodeling (DPNR), is the use of the force generated during suction and s...

Congenital nasal anomalies are rare, with an incidence of 1%–4%. These anomalies range from simple pathology, such as septal deviation or asymmetry of the nostrils, to severe problems accompanied by different craniofacial anomalies [1]. Here, we report the case of a 19-year-old boy with an aesthetic problem of the nose. His physical examination revealed a depression on the supratip area of his ...

Abstract Background The smooth and straight nasal dorsum is a goal after hump reduction as dorsal irregularities are unexpectable inevitable complications. aim of this study to evaluate modified perichondrial-periosteal flaps functionally aesthetically camouflage irregularities. A total 115 patients with humps were enrolled in the study. perichondrium over upper lateral cartilages divided midli...

BACKGROUND Nasal deformity is a common disorder in Wegener granulomatosis, which is produced by polyangitis of medium-sized vessels. This process may cause necrosis and destruction of the nasal mucosa and osteocartilaginous framework. At this time, there is a lack of published data on nasal deformities associated with Wegener granulomatosis. METHODS We present a 53-year-old woman with complet...
