A 22-year-old male presented to outpatient department with the complaint of widened nasal tip. He was a known case of rhinoscleroma diagnosed five years ago and had taken treatment for the same for one year. He has been asymptomatic since then. On clinical examination the patient had widening of the dorsum of the nose with a bulbous nasal tip. Anterior rhinoscopy was within normal limits. Rhinoplasty was done and the patient had an improvement in his cosmetic appearance. This is one of unique cases of rhinoplasty on bulbous tip due to rhinoscleroma.

Plant stinging emergences exhibit functional similarities in that they all elicit a pain response upon contact. A stinging emergence consists of an elongated stinging cell and a multicellular pedestal (Fig. 1). A recent ultrastructural investigation of these structures has revealed the ontogeny and morphology of the stinging cells differs in representative genera in the four plant families which possess such structures. A unique feature of the stinging cell of Urtica dioica is the presence of a siliceous cell wall in the apical portion of the cell. This rigid region of the cell wall is responsible for producing the needle-like apparatus which penetrates the skin. The stinging cell differentiates the apical bulbous tip early in development and the cell continues growth by intercalary addition of non-silicified wall material until maturity.The uppermost region of the stinging cell wall is entirely composed of silica (Fig. 2, 3) and upon etching with a 3% solution of HF (5 seconds), the silica is partially removed revealing the wall consisting of individualized silica bodies (Fig. 4, 5).

Head and neck injury as a consequence of in utero pressure and birth trauma is a rare event. We report a case of a patient who was born full-term via vaginal delivery and presented soon after birth with skin changes over the nasal tip consistent with a pressure-related injury that progressed to a stable eschar. Conservative management with close clinical monitoring resulted in a well-healed wound over the nasal tip. A detailed discussion regarding the diagnosis and management of head and neck lesions after birth is provided.
