One of the most challenging types of nasal fracture is when the nasal pyramid, comprising of the upper and lower lateral cartilages and septum including the vomer, is fractured, impacted and has rotated into the face. This paper describes a technique to elevate the nasal complex and hold it forwards using a Kirschner wire.

AbstractPlasmacytoma is a rare, non-epithelial, malignant tumor, affecting soft or bony tissues, which can have a unique location (solitary or extramedullary solitary plasmacytoma), or multiple (multiple myeloma). In the ENT sphere, it is most commonly encountered in its extramedullary form, which develops in the region of the head and neck, at the level of the submucosa. Most commonly, it affects the elderly, who have cardinal symptoms such as unilateral nasal obstruction, nasal or facial swelling, tissue necrosis or mucosal ulcerations, perforation of the nasal septum with dysmorphia of the nasal pyramid, recurrent unilateral epistaxis. Radiotherapy is the treatment of choice for extramedullary plasmacytoma. The prognosis is a reserved one, the risk of recurrence or conversion to multiple myeloma also existing 15 years after treatment.

Introduction The nose has a prominent central position in the face and therefore it considerably contributes to the esthetic appearance and facial harmony. On the anterior view, the face is dominated by the nasal length and width, as well as medial location. On the lateral view, the nasal dorsum is most important; although it is the dimension we cannot see ourselves, it is the most common cause of surgery. Material and methods This five-year retrospective study included 216 patients of both sexes; their average age was 22 years, and they underwent surgery at the Ear, Throat and Nose Clinic in Novi Sad in the period from 2001 to 2006. There were 89 male, and 127 female patients. Results Most patients were aged 18 - 22 years (57%). A nasal pyramid deformity with septal deviation was present in 81.1% of patients, whereas 18.9% (41 patients) presented only with a nasal pyramid deformity. Out of the total number of patients, 24 patients had both nasal kyphosis and scoliosis. All patients underwent closed rhinoplasty with obligatory correction of the tip of the nose. The nasal hump removal with lateral osteotomy was also performed in all patients. Two patients underwent reoperation, due to small dorsal humps within the cartilage, while one patient had a postoperative septal perforation. One patient presented with a postoperative abscess of the nasal dorsum, which was conservatively managed. Conclusion Nasal hump is the most common nasal pyramid deformity, often without a nasal septum deviation. It is quite easily treated by surgery. Two patients have already undergone reoperation with good results, and two patients had postoperative complications. Postoperative complications were recorded in 1,85% of patients.

The nasal septum has a significant influence on the form and function of the nose, as it is a key element of the nasal framework. Its shape, size, position, and integrity help determine not only the patency of the nasal fossae but also the appearance of the nasal pyramid. Achieving satisfactory functional and aesthetic results presents a real challenge for the surgeon in a wide range of nasal septal deformities. During the last decade, the absorbable biodegradable plate DePuySynthes Rapidsorb fixation system has been used to repair pediatric facial fractures. It provides stability during the initial period of healing until the bony fracture segments have reunited. There are many differently sized and shaped plates with varying thickness available. We believe this is a useful technique to improve the rate of septoplasty success, and with further experience, the indications and role in septal surgery can be better defined.

AbstractObjective:We report a rare case of fibro-hyaline anterior extensions of the bony nasal pyramid.Method:The clinical, radiological, intra-operative and histological findings are presented.Results:A 34-year-old man presented with bilateral nasal obstruction due to enlarged lateral walls of the nasal vestibule. Radiology showed normal bony structures. Surgery revealed three histologically identical, non-malignant, fibrous masses, one in the nasal septum and one in each of the vestibular walls. The latter were attached to the bony pyramid, protruding anteriorly and converging medially.Conclusion:The location and symmetry of the fibro-hyaline projections indicated that they constituted a malformation mimicking congenital bony nasal pyriform aperture stenosis. Histological analysis showed that the masses were not neoplastic.

Introduction: The fragile nature of the nasal septum and other bony structures makes them prone to fragmentation and destruction. Deviated nasal septum persists in adult stage of life giving rise to anatomical, psychological and cosmetic consequences. There are many consequences of deviated nasal septum like nasal obstruction, mouth breathing, headache and asymmetry of face. The amount of airflow and resistance to it in the nasal cavity with deviated nasal septum are quite different from person to person. Our study is focused on the prevalence of deviated nasal septum.  Materials and methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study conducted among 300 individuals from Nepalese preclinical students studying at Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital (KMCTH). Prevalence of deviated nasal septum in males and females were determined affecting symmetry of the face.  Results: The prevalence of deviated nasal septum was found to be 53% (159) of total study population. The left sided nasal septal deviation was found to be more in male 33.33% (50) than that of female 29.33% (44).The asymmetry of the face was observed in 55% (165) of total study population. However, asymmetry of face was observed more in male 58.66% (88) than in female 51.33% (77). Conclusion The deviated nasal septum and asymmetry of the face were remarkably prevalent among Nepalese preclinical students studying at Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital. The prevalence of deviated nasal septum and asymmetry of face was found significantly greater in male than in female (p< 0.05).

Nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) stands out for its adaptability in different environments, a fact that requires the species, an olfactory capacity developed with a keen sense and related organs potentially evolved. Five specimens of nine banded armadillo were submitted to anatomic dissection with occipital disconnection and isolation of part of the skull in order to obtain a hemi-skull to view the arrangement of internal structures of the nasal cavity. The obtained specimens were identified and photographed with the assist of digital camera. The nine-banded armadillo nose is incorporated into the face of the skeleton located in nasal plan with the triangular shape and facing forward. The nostrils are separated by the nasal septum. Paranasal sinuses, two (frontal and parietal), resemble diverticula of the nasal cavity. The nine-banded armadillo nasal shells are presented divided into three: the ethmoid shell, the dorsal nasal shell and the ventral nasal shell. The shells are delimited dorsal and ventral nasal meatus by. The respiratory system of nine-banded armadillo presented features anatomical that justify their behavior in the nature, as their olfactory ability for hunting. Thus, the development of the nasal shell, especially, ethmoid shells check the animal facility in the searching for subterranean food https://doi.galoa.com.br/doi/10.17648/jibi-2448-0002-1-1-4013
