Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Health Sciences University Bursa Yüksek Ihtisas Training and Research Hospital, Bursa, Türkiye.

Published: April 2023

Chondrosarcoma originating from the nasal septum is extremely rare. CT, MRI and biopsy are standard in diagnosis. Although wide surgical excision of chondrosarcoma is used in the treatment, endoscopic excision can be recommended in appropriate cases. In this case report, we have presented a case of chondrosarcoma that was excised endoscopically and no recurrence or distant metastasis was observed in the 5-year follow-up.

Silent Sinus Syndrome of the Frontal Sinus: A Case Report.

Cureus

Otolaryngology, Fairfield General Hospital, Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust, Manchester, GBR.

Silent sinus syndrome is a rare condition that typically affects the maxillary sinus, with only a few reported cases of frontal sinus involvement. Blockage of the sinus ostium leads to persistent hypoventilation, creating negative pressure and eventual sinus collapse. This report describes a previously undocumented case of facial asymmetry due to frontal silent sinus syndrome, following multiple childhood nasal injuries.

A crooked nose is a challenge for a surgeon performing rhinoplasty. When performed correctly, rhinoseptoplasty aligns the nasal framework, restores nasal patency, and achieves facial symmetry. The key to this procedure is to dissect all the structures of the nasal framework, mobilize, reposition, and stabilize them.

Background Dacryocystitis (DC) is a disease most often caused by an obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct, leading to over-accumulation of tears in the lacrimal sac, epiphora, and aseptic inflammation. External and endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) aims to restore the tear pathway by creating a bypass from the lacrimal sac to the nose. The aim of this study is to investigate superior nasal septal deviation as a possible contributing factor in the incidence and treatment of dacryocystitis.

Currently, the direct endonasal approach is widely used in endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES) for pituitary neuroendocrine tumor. However, a large posterior septal perforation is inevitable. We routinely utilize a modified para/transseptal approach using the combination of a Killian and a contralateral rescue flap incision (PTSA with K-R incision).

Background: Unilateral cleft lip secondary nasal deformities are common and require surgical correction frequently. The nasal dome on the cleft side is depressed, and the nasal ala is in an extended and flattened position compared with the noncleft side. In addition, the nasal septum is deviated into the cleft nostril.
