Objective. To identify the anatomical variants of nasal bones and pyriform apertures in view of normal configuration of external nose and different types of aesthetic nasal deformities, to estimate its possible relations.Material and methods. We performed a retrospective analysis of multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) data of 2737 patients with the image processing (multiplanar and 3D-volume rendering). The sample comprised 121 patients with aesthetic nasal deformities (rhinokyphosis – nasal hump, long nose, combined deformity like a hidden hump, short nose, wide nose) and 37 individuals with normal European nasal configuration.Results. The most frequent variants of pyriform apertures are drop, heart and pear types. The most common variants of nasal bones in all groups were II, V, VI types according to Lang and Baumeister. Every kind of deformities was described with their characteristic features of pyriform apertures and nasal bones.Conclusion. Statistically proved correlation between the facts of deformities and variants of pyriform apertures and nasal bones was obtained. The preoperative study of variable anatomy must be always performed for improving functional and aesthetic results of rhinoplasty.

Two cases of mandibulofacial dystostosis are presented in order to describe the features associated with the condition. Computed tomography (CT) is frequently performed on these patients to aid in surgical planning. 3D volume rendering provides the opportunity to discuss the imaging features of this uncommon condition.

Background. Nasal anthropometry is an important aspect of maxillofacial and plastic surgery especially in the preoperative stage of rhinoplasty. Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) permits to assess quantitative the variant nasal anatomy using measuring.Aims: to determine the possibilities of MSCT-anthropometry in nasal configuration grade.Materials and methods. We performed a proand retrospective analysis of MSCT data of maxillofacial region of 50 patients (aged 35 ± 10.7 years old) with changes of nasal height and width and 35 women (32.9 ± 8.4 years old) with normal nasal configuration. The variant anatomy consists in long nose (n = 16), short nose (n = 17), wide nose (n = 17). The nasal height was measured from the nasal root (nasion) to the nasal base (subnasion), the nasal width is the distance between the most lateral aspects of the alae nasi. Besides, the nasal index was calculated. The descriptive statistics of obtained data were presented by mean and standard deviation (SD), also the multiple regression analysis was used. Values of p = 0.005 were considered statistically significant.Results. The results showed that the average nasal height in patients with normal configuration is 51.9 ± 2.63 mm, with short nose – 45.2 ± 1.36 mm, with long nose – 60.3 ± 1.28 mm. The mean nasal widths are 34.9 ± 1.88 mm in normal configuration, 38.8±3.57 in wide nose. The nasal indexes were calculated, their features were detected. These obtained results correlate with anthropometric data of different studies.Conclusions. MSCT-anthropometry is an objective imaging method of variant nasal anatomy that could provide improving quality of diagnostics of patients seeking rhinoplasty and choose a surgical approach.

Abstract Introduction The clinical relevance of the anatomy and variations of the anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) is outstanding, considering its role as a landmark in endoscopic surgery, its importance in the therapy of epistaxis, and the high risks related to iatrogenic injuries. Objective To provide an anatomical description of the course and relationships of the AEA, based on direct computed-tomography (CT)-based 3D volume rendering. Methods Direct volume rendering was performed on 18 subjects who underwent (CT) with contrast medium for suspected cerebral aneurism. Results The topographical location of 36 AEAs was assessed as shown: 10 dehiscent (27.8%), 20 intracanal (55.5%), 6 incomplete canals (16.7%). Distances from important topographic landmarks are reported. Conclusion This work demonstrates that direct 3D volume rendering is a valid imaging technique for a detailed description of the anterior ethmoidal artery thus representing a useful tool for head pre-operatory assessments.

Absztrakt A szerzők a világirodalmi ritkaságnak számító atraumaticus (spontán) mellkasfali tüdősérvet ismertetik. Két operált betegük kapcsán bemutatják a sérv kialakulását elősegítő körülményeket és a kórkép klinikai jellemzőit. Mindkét betegük spontán mellkasfali (intercostalis) sérvét chronicus obstructiv syndroma (COPD) okozta makacs köhögés váltotta ki. Az elvégzett multislice spirál CT (MSCT) vizsgálat, valamint a speciális szoftver segítségével készített másodlagos 3D „volume-rendering” (VRT) rekonstrukciós képek egyértelműen utaltak a ritka kórformára. Az MSCT-vizsgálatok a Kaposi Mór Oktató Kórházban készültek, Siemens Somatom Emotion 6 MSCT-berendezéssel. A pontos diagnózis birtokában végzett mellkasfali korrekciók tartós gyógyuláshoz vezettek. A szerzők röviden ismertetik a mellkasfali sérvekkel kapcsolatos hazai és fontosabb külföldi irodalmi vonatkozásokat. A kórkép rendkívüli ritkasága ellenére a kialakulásában szerepet játszó COPD elterjedtsége miatt érdemel figyelmet. A hasonló esetek diagnosztikájában nagy segítséget jelenthet a bemutatott korszerű képalkotó eljárás alkalmazása.
