Clarification of a Suspension Technique for Unstable Nasal Bones—Reply

Objective. To evaluate the pre- and postnatal outcomes of euploid fetuses with aplasia/hypoplasia of the nasal bones (NB). Methods. We have made the catamnestic monitoring of children with a normal karyotype, who had been prenatally detected NB aplasia or hypoplasia (less than 5 perentile) at 11–24 weeks of gestation at ultrasound screening in the period between 2006–2015 years. Our study included a selection of 242 fetuses with NB aplasia or hypoplasia, in 128 (52.8 %) of them the NB was not visualized or appeared as an echogenic dot only. Results. Among all 63 fetuses with NB aplasia (absence or looks as an echogenic dot) in the 1st trimester in 24 (38 %) cases chromosomal abnormalities (CA) were found (including T21 — 15 (62.5 %) cases). Other 39 (61.9 %) fetuses had a normal karyotype. Among 65 fetuses with NB aplasia, examined in the 2nd trimester of gestation 12 (18.4 %) cases of CA were detected (one fetus with T21 had the only one ultrasound marker – isolated NB aplasia), 53 (81.5 %) fetuses had a normal karyotype. 62 mothers of the euploid fetuses with NB aplasia had been surveyed. We have received and analyzed 31 (50 %) responses. In 16 cases of euploid fetuses with NB, aplasia pregnancy outcome was adverse or relatively unfavorable, only 5 (31.2 %) fetuses of them had isolated NB aplasia. In other cases healthy full-term infants were born, who showed normal height and weight indexes, physical and psychomotor development observed in age from 0 to 10. Conclusion. In 51.6 % fetuses and children prenatally had aplasia of the nasal bone was marked by unfavorable pre- or postnatal outcome, according to the survey of their mothers.

A literature review reveals that gout has been described as affecting many sites in the head and neck region, both in the arthritic and tophaceous form. Gout can often mimic malignancy or infection, and has been described as causing acute airway problems requiring emergency tracheotomy. Here we describe the first published case of tophaceous gout affecting the soft tissues overlying the nasal bones. The patient presented with a bony, hard, dorsal hump and requested aesthetic rhinoplasty.We also describe an endoscopic technique for removal of tophi using a powered microdebrider system with a protected burr head. Endoscopic powered microdebrider blade excision of tophi affecting the limbs has already been described, with reduced complications when compared with conventional curettage and debridement techniques. This is the first such application to the nose.

And Performance

Fractures and suspected fractures are common causes for pediatric visits to the emergency department. Initial evaluation routinely includes imaging in the form of radiographs. Additional imaging modalities including sonography and magnetic resonance are used as problem-solving tools. Sonography has been reported to perform well when compared with radiography in multiple anatomies from the skull and nasal bones to the upper and lower extremities. In addition, sonography presents unique advantages including lack of ionizing radiation, cross-sectional coverage, evaluation of soft tissue injury, and the possibility of imaging the contralateral side. This article reviews the applications, advantages, disadvantages, technique, and performance of sonography in the imaging of fractures in children.

Craniofacial Defects

INTRODUCTION: The coronal approach gives a broad exposure to the frontal bone, the calvaria, the nasal bones, the orbits, the subcondylar region, the zygoma and the zygomatic arch and gives ideal aesthetic results with less complication. The common craniofacial fractures are Nasal bones (45%), cranial bones (24%), Mandible (13%), Zygoma (13%), Orbital blowout (3%), Maxilla (2%). Common causes of fractures are Road trafc accident, Assault, Industrial accidents, Recreational accidents, Frontal bone fracture. METHOD: The study was carried out for a period of one year from March 2020 to March 2021. The study conducted in St Joseph dental college ELURU in the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. The age limit for this study was below 30 years. The number of subjects involved in this study was 5. Number of females was 3 and males were 2 in this study. RESULT: Number of female participants in this study was 3 and number of male participants was 2.Number of male participants with coronal incision were 1 and number of participants with pretrichial incision were 2.Out of 2 one for male participant and one for female participant. CONCLUSION: The coronal ap has recently become a preferred approach for access to the craniofacial skeleton and orbit. This method of exposure has become particularly useful with increased indications for rigid internal xation and primary bone grafting in the management of complex facial fractures.

Nasal bone (NB) is a significant structure to be assessed during pregnancy in 1st and 2nd trimesters. Nasal bones that start to grow as neural crest cells (NCCs) collections, can histologically be confirmed when length of fetal crown–ump is 42mm (10.9 weeks).

Nose And Paranasal Sinuses

The external nose is pyramidal and consists of a bony cartilaginous framework. The root/radix is continuous with the forehead an inferiorly terminates at the nasal tip. The dorsum of the nose is formed by two lateral surfaces that converge in the midline. The cartilaginous structure of the nose is formed by paired upper (lateral) cartilages that contribute to the internal nasal valve with the nasal bones, and lower lateral cartilages, combined with additional minor nasal cartilages that surround the ala. The nasal septum relies upon anastomoses from five vessels: two from the ophthalmic, two from the maxillary and one from the facial. Collectively, they form Kieselbach’s plexus. The paranasal sinuses are the frontal, sphenoidal, ethmoidal and maxillary – located within the bones of the same name. They are paired structures lined with mucosa that is continuous with the lateral nasal side wall into which they drain, facilitating clearance of mucus by way of the mucociliary escalator.
