The deviated nose derives from underlying skeletal and soft-tissue deformities in the upper, middle, and/or lower third of the nose. Although deviation may stem from several intrinsic and extrinsic elements, the septum is most often the primary contributor. Attempts to straighten the nose without properly addressing the septum invariably result in a persistently deviated nose. The goal of this article is to review the 10 key steps for a reliable, methodical approach to correcting the deviated septum in primary rhinoplasty.

Superficial lesions of the face are often treated with an electron beam and surface collimation utilizing a conformal lead shield with an opening around the region of treatment (ROT). To fabricate the lead shield, an imprint of the patient face is needed. Historically, this was achieved using a laborious and time-consuming process that involved a gypsum imprinted model (GIM) of the patient topography.

Objectives: To investigate the influence of different facial scanners and integration approaches on the accuracy of virtual dental patients (VDPs).
Methods: Forty VDPs were generated using a head mannequin and two facial scanners: 1) an industrial scanner and 2) a smartphone scanner. For each scanner, two integration methods were applied: 1) integration by virtual facebow scan and 2) integration by nose-teeth scan.

Objective: This study aims to present a case of temporal bone (TBP) paraganglioma with an insidious clinical presentation, deviating significantly from the typical hearing loss and pulsatile tinnitus pattern.
Methods: A 70-year-old lady presented to the emergency department with a five-day history of right progressive later cervical swelling extending to the mastoid region and chronic worsening purulent otorrhea.
