Nasal obstruction is a commonly reported issue in the Otorhinolaryngology Outpatient Department. In this case, an early adolescent boy with a long-standing problem of right-sided nasal obstruction since childhood sought consultation. Diagnostic nasal endoscopy revealed a deviation of the nasal septum to the left, coupled with right inferior turbinate hypertrophy, all overlying healthy mucosa. A CT scan of the nose and paranasal sinuses further identified a bony hyperdense lesion with ground glass attenuation, confined to the right inferior turbinate. Subsequent biopsy confirmed juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma (JTOF). The patient underwent endoscopic right medial maxillectomy, and the final histology affirmed the diagnosis of JTOF.

In the literature, there is divergence about the relationship between anatomical variations of the turbinates and nasal septum (NS) and alterations in the maxillary sinus (MS) mucosa. To determine, through cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of Brazilian individuals, the prevalence and relationship of anatomical variations of the turbinates and NS with alterations in the mucosa of the MS, as well as to analyze the relationships of these variables with demographic data. The present cross-sectional study involved the analysis of 120 CBCT scans using the i-CAT Vision software, conducted by 2 calibrated examiners.

Introduction: Allergic rhinitis is the specific inflammation against allergen by immune defense cells on the nasal mucosa, which can lead to chronic nasal symptoms such as sneezing, itching, runny nose, and nasal congestion. It is associated with high morbidity including sinusitis, asthma, otitis media, hypertrophied inferior turbinate, and nasal polyps. Despite its complications, it remains poorly recognized and tracked.

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.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of radiofrequency ablation of the inferior turbinates (RFIT) combined with posterior nasal nerve neurolysis (RPN3) in comparison with RFIT alone in the treatment of patients with chronic rhinitis unresponsive to pharmacological therapy.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on adult and adolescent patients with chronic rhinitis who demonstrated a poor response to medication. Patients with a total 24-hour reflective total nasal symptom score (rTNSS) of ≧5, rhinorrhea score of ≧2, and congestion score of ≧2 were included.

Background: Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) plays an important role in mediating the type-2-inflammatory response. This study examined how TSLP and interleukin (IL)-4 levels in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) correlated with clinical and postoperative outcomes.
Methods: Solid-phase sandwich ELISA was used to analyze TSLP and IL-4 levels in mucus (n = 47), plasma (n = 17), polyp (n = 30), inferior (n = 25), and middle (n = 26) turbinate tissue collected during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) in CRSwNP patients (n = 76) and controls (n = 11).
