Anatomical terminology of the internal nose and paranasal sinuses: cross-cultural adaptation to Portuguese.

Introduction: Functional endonasal endoscopic surgery is a frequent surgical procedure among otorhinolaryngologists. In 2014, the European Society of Rhinology published the "European Position Paper on the Anatomical Terminology of the Internal Nose and Paranasal Sinuses", aiming to unify the terms in the English language. We do not yet have a unified terminology in the Portuguese language.

Alar-spanning suture for tip contouring in closed approach rhinoplasty for African-Caucasian noses.

The alar-spanning suture is one of the easiest techniques for correcting the width of the alar complex that reduces the bulbous tip of African-Caucasian patients. This conservative technique does not weaken the lateral crura and yields long- term predictable results. Rhinoplastic surgeons should keep in mind this useful and reliable tool in their options for refinement of these challenging wide tips and not create so dramatic a change that the appearance is not consonant with the patient's ethnic heritage.

Surgery for congenital choanal atresia.

Background: Congenital choanal atresia is a rare abnormality characterized by unilateral or bilateral lack of patency of the posterior end of the nasal cavity. With an incidence of 1:5000 to 1:8000 births, it is twice as prevalent in females as it is in males. Surgical procedures aim to provide adequate functional choanal patency and a low rate of restenosis, avoid harm to any structure in development, enable shorter surgery and hospitalization times, and minimize morbidity and mortality.

Endoscopic transeptal surgery for choanal atresia with a stentless folded-over-flap technique.

Objective: To analyze long-term results of a new stentless surgical technique for choanal atresia that also used no packing.

Study Design: Prospective study.

Methods: Ten patients (3 bilateral and 7 unilateral), with ages ranging from 4 days to 30 years, were operated on.

[Endoscopic treatment of odontogenic cyst with intra-sinusal extension].

dontogenic cyst is a common lesion that can happen after inflammation of the dental pulp. The therapeutic approach of these cysts is made at dentist's offices, and depending on their extension, they may develop oroantral fistula and chronic sinusitis. The objective of this study is to propose the videoendoscopic treatment of the odontogenic cyst with expression in the maxillary sinus.

Onset of subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum after tonsillectomy: a case report.

Several complications can be related to surgical approaches of head and neck regions. Among those, there are rare conditions such as pneumomediastinum, pneumothorax and subcutaneous cervical emphysema. This study reports a case of a patient that developed pneumomediastinum, pneumothorax and subcutaneous emphysema after undergoing tonsillectomy.
