OBJECTIVE To determine the value of measuring maxillary length at 11-14 weeks of gestation in screening for trisomy 21. METHODS In 970 fetuses ultrasound examination was carried out for measurement of crown-rump length (CRL), nuchal translucency and maxillary length, and to determine if the nasal bone was present or absent, immediately before chorionic villus sampling for karyotyping at 11-14...

This study was carried out to make determine the craniometric characteristics of crania Akkaraman and Kangal sheep, local breeds Turkey, by using computed tomography (CT). Equal numbers healthy male sheep heads aged 8-12 months were used in (n=12/group). The images obtained scanning with a CT device. These converted into three-dimensional structure 3D Slicer program their morphometric measureme...

The correction of cleft lip nasal deformity is challenging and there have been numerous methods described in the literature with little demonstrated technical superiority of one over another. The common clinical issues associated with cleft lip nasal deformity are its lack of symmetry, alar collapse on the affected side, obtuse nasal labial angle, short nasal length, loss of tip definition, and...

Nasal reconstruction is one of the most challenging aspects of facial plastic surgery. The authors present reconstructive techniques to maximize the final aesthetic result and minimize scarring. They discuss techniques used in nasal reconstruction with a paramedian forehead flap (PMFF) that help to achieve these goals and minimize the chance of complications, including performing a surgical del...

PURPOSE To compare the patterns of relative peripheral astigmatic refraction (tangential and sagittal power errors) and eccentric eye length between progressing and stable young-adult myopes. METHODS Sixty-two right eyes of 62 white patients participated in the study, of which 30 were nonprogressing myopes (NP group) for the last 2 years and 32 were progressing myopes (P group). Groups were m...

AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate sexual dimorphism in nasal proportions of Class I and Class II skeletal malocclusions in adults. MATERIAL AND METHODS The sample comprised 120 patients (females 18 years and above and males 21 years and above), with no history of previous orthodontic treatment or functional jaw orthopedic treatment.

Aesthetic rhinoplasty procedures have increased in frequency in the Asian population. Although aesthetic concepts differ for each race, the current concept of nasal beauty shows a tendency to coincide with that of Caucasians. The ideal, beautiful nose tends to have a straight dorsum from the radix to the tip, with an adequate height. The tip should be slightly more prominent than the dorsum, an...

introduction: septal deviation is the chief cause of chronic nasal obstruction. in order to treat such cases, nasal septoplasty surgery is usually performed based on patient complaints and a surgeon's examination, both of which are subjective. this study aims at using the objective parameters of acoustic rhinometry and rhinomanometry to evaluate the effectiveness of septoplasty surgery.   ...
