Multiple anatomical variations in the nasal cavity are well-described in the literature. We describe a rare case of pneumatization of the frontal sinus in the nasal septum that we term "Septo-Frontal Cell". To the best of our knowledge, this pattern of nasal septum pneumatization has not been described in the literature before. We have discussed the clinical and radiological findings and management of this patient.

Objectives: To evaluate nasal septum changes after rapid maxillary expansion (RME) during the mixed dentition and to verify the association between quantitative and qualitative assessments of nasal septum deviation (NSD) by ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialists.
Materials And Methods: The sample comprised 24 patients (11 male, 13 female) with a mean age of 7.62 ± 0.
A Mortise and Tenon Framework Composed of Costal Cartilage and Expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene in Rhinoplasty for Asians: Application Ⅱ of Dai Exogenous Extension Stent Concept.

Background: The septum is often underdeveloped in East Asian populations, and traditional endogenous extension stents may not adequately fulfill the requirements for rhinoplasty. Herein, we present an innovative exogenous extension framework featuring a mortise and tenon structure specifically designed for East Asians.
Methods: This framework comprises a mushroom-shaped rib cartilage component and a lancet-shaped expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) element, which are interconnected through a mortise and tenon design.

Nasal adhesions, or synechiae, commonly occur following surgical procedures, resulting in nasal airway obstruction and patient discomfort. While various packing materials are available to prevent adhesion formation post-surgery, there is limited guidance on effectively dividing existing adhesions and determining the optimal packing materials to maintain separation afterward. We treated a 59-year-old man with severe adhesions in the anterior nasal cavity.

Background: The septal swell body (SSB), a distinct anatomical structure located in the anterior nasal septum, has been recognized as a significant contributor to nasal obstruction, impacting airflow dynamics and nasal resistance. This meta-analysis evaluated the impact of septal swell body volume reduction (SSBVR).
Methods: A systematic review of studies from PubMed, SCOPUS, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases was conducted through October 2024.
