Study Design: Technical note. Objective: The lower nasal architecture is dependent on caudal septal integrity. Deviations of the caudal septum can compromise nasal airflow. The presence of anterior nasal spine deviations contributes to septal and med...

Walnut byproducts have been shown to exert functional properties, but the literature on their bioactive content is still scarce. Among walnut byproducts, walnut septum is a dry ligneous diaphragm tissue that divides the two halves of the kernel, exhi...

Schwannoma is a benign, slow-growing nerve sheath tumor derived from the Schwann cells. Cases with nasal schwannoma arising from nasal septum and inferior turbinate have been reported, though being rare. A 32-yearold male patient presented to our hos...

Background: This study aimed to describe the anatomical details of the bony nasolacrimal duct (BNLD) and adjacent nasal structures by analyzing computed tomography (CT) images, and to investigate their effects on the development of primary acquired n...

Late gadolinium enhancements (LGEs) appear in asymptomatic individuals as septal stripes, which mimic abnormal LGEs in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We aimed to evaluate the frequency and extent of LGE variation in asymptomatic individu...

Deviation of the cartilaginous midvault and caudal nasal septum can cause both aesthetic misalignment and functional impairment of the nasal valves. This study explores the technical considerations and outcomes of combining extended spreader graft an...

Although many parametric studies have been conducted in developing standardized nasal geometry and analysing associated airflow dynamics, most of them are based on symmetrical nasal chambers assumption, while the inter-chamber variations due to the m...

High dorsal deviation of the septum can cause nasal obstruction due to internal nasal valve (INV) stenosis. We have developed a new technique using a modified mattress suture on the bony-cartilaginous junction to correct high dorsal septal deviation....

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common chronic condition that is usually treated medically. Adolescents form a unique population in which AR-associated symptoms are greater than those in adults or children, and are closely related to sleep and mental dis...

Background/Objectives: Leishmania spp. are protozoan parasites transmitted by female sandflies (Phlebotomus or Lutzomyia). Clinical manifestations depend on species and host immunity. While cutaneous and visceral forms prevail, mucocutaneous involvem...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between orthodontic malocclusion, paranasal sinus (PS) variations, and adenoid vegetation in a group of pediatric patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. Clinical and radiographical data were retros...

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is correlated with diseases including allergic laryngitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The unified airway model suggests that inflammation can spread in both lower and...
