Nasal septal deformities in chronic rhinosinusitis patients: clinical and radiological aspects.

Septal deformities are very frequent in patients suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The question is whether or not some types of septal deformities are involved more frequently in this process or not. The authors observed the incidence of particular types of septal deformities in a group of CRS patients using Mladina classification.

Pre- and postnatal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging of intracranial extra-axial glioneuronal heterotopia.

Glioneuronal heterotopias are rare malformations composed of differentiated derivates of neuroectodermal tissue that include disorganized neuronal and glial cells. They are typically located extracranially. The nasal cavity represents the most common location.

Blindness after reduction of facial fractures.

Blindness in patients suffering maxillofacial trauma is usually caused by optic nerve or optic canal injuries. It is, however, an uncommon complication of facial trauma, with a reported incidence of only 2 to 5 percent. Blindness may also follow surgical repair of facial fractures.

Blindness as a complication of Le Fort osteotomies: role of atypical fracture patterns and distortion of the optic canal.

Blindness in patients suffering maxillofacial trauma is usually caused by optic nerve or optic canal injuries. It is, however, an uncommon complication of facial trauma, with a reported incidence of only 3 to 5 percent. This incidence drops dramatically when fractures are performed in the controlled situation of orthognathic surgery.
