Clinicopathological Findings of Surgically Treated Nasal Cavity Schwannomas: A Case Series.

Nasal cavity schwannomas are exceedingly rare, benign neoplasms that pose challenges in clinical differentiation from other nasal tumors. This study presents 5 cases of nasal cavity schwannoma treated surgically over a 10 year period, along with a review of the literature. The most prevalent symptoms included unilateral nasal obstruction and intermittent nosebleeds.

Quality of life in parents of Turkish and Syrian pediatric bone marrow transplant and oncology patients.

Background: The success of the treatment depends on the well-being of the parents in pediatric cancer patients. In addition, migrants need to deal with the consequences of war.

Aim: Our purpose was to compare the HRQoL of parents of Syrian and Turkish children followed in our bone marrow transplant and oncology units.

Effects of classical olfactory training in patients with COVID-19-related persistent loss of smell.

Purpose: The management of post-COVID-19 persistent olfactory dysfunction (OD) is uncertain. Currently, olfactory training is the only evidence-based therapy for post-viral OD. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of classical olfactory training (COT) in the treatment of post-COVID-19 persistent OD.

Anterior maxillary wall and lacrimal duct relationship in pediatric patients - CT analysis for the feasibility of the prelacrimal recess approach.

Objective: The purpose of the current study is to determine the age-related feasibility rate of the intranasal endoscopic prelacrimal recess approach (PLRA) in pediatric patients.

Methods: Computed tomography (CT) images of 379 patients under 18 years old were analyzed retrospectively. The anteroposterior dimensions of the medial bony wall of the prelacrimal recess (PLR) were measured on 758 sides.

Age-dependent differences of the depth of olfactory fossa in children.

Objective: With this radio-anatomical study, we aimed to describe the distribution of the depth of the olfactory fossa based on the Keros classification in the pediatric population in our region and to reduce complication rates by providing normative data.

Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted with computed tomography imaging of the paranasal sinuses of 390 pediatric patients referred over a six-year period in Sakarya and Kocaeli University Faculty of Medicine. Patients were divided into 3 groups as 1-6, 6-12, and 12-18 years old.
