Neurofibromas are benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors which originate from Schwann cells. They are known to occur in extremities as a local manifestation of Von Recklinghausen’s disease i.e. type 1 neurofibromatosis, but isolated neurofibroma occurring in the nasal cavity is a rare entity. Here we report one such case in a 60 year old lady who, presented to us with complaints of difficulty in...

Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous infective disease commonly involving the nose and occasionally involving the skin and subcutaneous tissues. We hereby report a case of nasal and disseminated rhinosporidiosis who was operated thrice and had a recurrence of disease in the nasal cavity and the nasopharynx. Biopsy from the lesions in nasal cavity proved the recurrence of disease and he w...

This paper examines new methodologies that may be used for the process of the Anthropometric data collection in the Human Respiratory Tract (HRT). The geometric dimensions of internal human anatomy in the nasal and oral cavity varies among the individuals but has the same structure overall. The volume of the flow differs widely with respect to the dimensions of the nasal and oral cavity. The pr...

The case is presented of a 73-year-old male with a history of right-sided nasal obstruction, hyponasal speech and three episodes of recurrent epistaxis. On examination, there was a tumour in the right nasal cavity. Computed tomography showed a mass in the right nasal cavity extending to the right maxillary sinus, ethmoidal cells and right sphenoid sinus. The patient underwent a functional endos...

INTRODUCTION Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) is a benign lesion of vascular origin. It rarely involves nasal cavity which most commonly manifests as progressive nasal obstruction and epistaxis. CASE REPORT In this report we present a case of LCH of the nasal cavity which occurred approximately one month after delivery. There was no recurrence after complete endoscopic resection during one ...

BACKGROUND Benign lesions of the nasal cavity represent a diverse group of pathologies. Furthermore, each of these disorders may present differently in any given patient as pain and discomfort, epistaxis, headaches, vision changes, or nasal obstruction. Although these nasal masses are benign, many of them have a significant capacity for local tissue destruction and symptomatology secondary to ...

Epistaxis is simply known as nose bleeding, presented as hemorrhage from the nasal cavity which is noticed when blood flows out through nostrils. Nasal bleeding may occur due to nasal cavity and sinus disease, nasopharyngeal lesions, cavernous sinus lesions, rupture of artery and false aneurysm, some systemic diseases can also cause nasal bleeding. We describe an uncommon cause of epistaxis in ...

The nasal cavity harbors a wide variety of benign and malignant neoplasms. Benign neoplasms include those arising in epitelial and soft tissues. Hemangioma is an infrequent neoplasm of the nasal cavity, mostly arising in the mucosa and rarely in the bone. We report a case of an intraosseous cavernous hemangioma arising from the nasal floor in a 51 years old woman.

Nasal-type extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is a rare disease presenting with non-specific symptoms, typically originating in the nasal cavity, palate, or midfacial region. Oral cavity is an extremely rare site for this type of lymphoma. In this report, we present a case of palatal perforation and oro-nasal fistula as a manifestation of recurrent ENKTL. Complicated disease enti...

The aim of this study was to analyze the bacterial flora in the nasal cavity and sphenoid sinus and evaluate the sensitivity of these bacteria to antibiotics that can be used to prevent postoperative meningitis. Bacteria of the preoperative nasal cavity and intraoperative sphenoid sinus mucosa were cultured and analyzed in 40 patients (20 men and 20 women; mean age, 52.2 years) who underwent en...
