Vertical dorsal rhinotomy in pediatric nasal dermoid surgery.

Introduction And Objectives: Nasal dermoids are uncommon midline congenital lesions in the nose, usually diagnosed in the first years of life. Imaging is mandatory to evaluate local and intracranial extension and treatment consists in surgical excision. This study aims to review the experience of the department in managing pediatric nasal dermoids using a dorsal rhinotomy surgical approach.

Is Computed Tomography Necessary Before Septoplasty? Correlation With Physical Examination and Patient Complaints.

Introduction: Septoplasty is one of the most common surgeries performed by otorhinolaryngologists. The gold standard for the evaluation of septal deviation is anterior rhinoscopy and nasal endoscopy. Frequently, computed tomography (CT) is also performed, although the correlation between septal deviation on CT and physical examination is unclear.

Functional facial reconstruction in a patient with severe burn sequelae with a prelaminated parascapular free flap based on a three-dimensional model: A case report.

Significant evolution has been made concerning resuscitation and emergency management of severely burned patients, and nowadays most patients will survive and deal with burns sequelae. They constitute a reconstructive challenge, mainly because options and donor areas are frequently compromised, results are often limited, and other options should then be considered. A 27-year-old male patient with 55% total burn surface area, presented with severe facial disfigurement including ectropion, upper/lower lip retraction, and partial loss of the nose.

Tympanic Membrane Haematoma in a RivaroxabanTreated Patient: A Case Report.

New generation oral anticoagulants - rivaroxaban, apixaban and edoxaban - represent an important medical achievement. Their therapeutic effectiveness and ease of use make them essential in the management of thromboembolic conditions. However, as warfarin, they have known haemorrhagic risks.
