Conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy is a much maligned procedure, and there are widely varying opinions about its efficacy and long-term success. We present our modification of the procedure used in 38 eyes of 29 patients over 10 years, with an average follow-up of 2.5 years, which has resulted in a very high rate of success.

A Novel Technique for the Topical Application of Botulinum Neurotoxin A to the Nasal Mucosa in Reducing Rhinitis Symptoms.
Cureus

Anatomy, Yonsei University, Seoul, KOR.
Introduction: To date, no investigations have been published regarding the concentration, dose, and technique for a mucosal spray application of botulinum toxin A (BTA) to alleviate hypersecretory symptoms of rhinitis in humans. It is a promising option for reducing common symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis (AR) and idiopathic non-AR. It is safer and less painful than intranasal injections, with high reported satisfaction in reducing clinical symptoms.

Alar webbing is a functional and aesthetic defect of the nasal structure noted in cleft lip and palate patients (CLP), which is thought to be due to a deficiency in nasal lining tissue. Surgical procedures have previously focused on the removal of lining or alar cartilage leading to worse post-operative defects. This case demonstrates a novel technique of releasing the tissue, followed by using a CAD-CAM splint to help mold the tissue during the healing process to better control esthetics, symmetry, and prevent relapse.

Midface fractures present a clinical challenge in otorhinolaryngology due to their often complex injury pattern and nonspecific symptoms. Precise diagnostics, including differentiated imaging procedures, are required. Interdisciplinary consultation between otorhinolaryngology, maxillofacial surgery, neurosurgery, and ophthalmology is often necessary.
