Nasal septum Essays

Septoplasty Septoplasty, a surgical procedure done to straighten the septum (cartilage through the middle of the nose) in a nose, is a procedure done by an Otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat doctor) for both medical and physical appearance reasons. For medical reasons, Septoplasty is done on patients with a deviated or crooked septum to open their nasal canals for better olfaction (smell) and ultimately an enhancement in respiration (breathing). This procedure is oftentimes a successful procedure

of a 4-year-old female that presents with a two-day history of nasal congestion and an early morning cough. The parent states that the child is afebrile with a normal appetite and sleeping pattern. However, she states that Kaitlyn has thick green nasal drainage. Upon physical examination, lungs are clear to auscultation, tympanic membranes are pearly gray without fluid, and no cervical adenopathy. Although the individual?s nasal turbinates are red, and, she has clear rhinorrhea and postnasal

TIVA may be favoured as the anesthetic technique of choice for the following reasons ADVANTAGES OF TIVA: 1. Rapid smooth induction and maintenance of anesthesia Induction of anesthesia with propofol is smooth and associated with a low incidence of excitatory side effects. Doses of 1 to 2.5 mg/kg (depending on patient age, physical status, and use of premedicant drugs) induce anesthesia in approximately 30 seconds. The speed of onset and the dose of propofol needed for induction are dependent on the

slides that discussed the flu vaccine. The comments centered on the audience not being able to follow when vaccination options (injection, nasal spray, intradermal) were explained, but were not presented on any slides. One stated that they did not quite understand what an “inactivated virus” was, referring to the flu shot. Two adults were not aware of the nasal spray option and, other than what was shared on the slides, presenter was unable to answer further questions with regard to contraindications

When you hear the term “Hero”, you often imagine a person with a cape flying across town, a person with superpowers fighting unusual looking monsters to help keep your community safe. As a child or even at an older age, you’re asked about one person that you admire. You may look up to that particular person because of the journey they have decided to take. You follow in their footsteps, because they’ve showed you who they were, who they wanted to become, and who they became. I never considered myself

An ideal member of the National Honor Society must demonstrate the following characteristics: Leadership, Service, and Character. To qualify for such a prestigious organization, one must qualify with a GPA of at least 3.5. Academically, I have been able to do so, maintaining a cumulative GPA of 4.11 and yet to receive an overall grade below A- in these past three semesters of High School. Moreover, I have been taking two languages, Malay and French, as well as juggling advanced classes such as Integrated

Deviated Septum Your septum is the wall of cartilage inside your nose that separates the hollow space (nasal cavity) between your nostrils. Normally the septum is straight. It divides the nasal cavity into two parts. A deviated septum means this wall is not in the center of the nasal cavity. A deviated septum can lead to stuffiness and other problems with the flow of air through your nose. It can also block your sinuses and keep them from draining properly. This can lead to repeated (chronic) sinus

decongest the nasal mucosa before the procedure. Endoscope is used to examine the nasal cavity. If ESS is planned, the position of the septum to the middle turbinates is noted. The middle turbinate attaches anteriorly to axilla of the middle turbinate and superiorly to the lateral nasal wall. It serves as an important landmark. the surgeon may have difficulty with access and visualization during ESS or in the postoperative period if the axilla is visualized. In cases of narrow nasal cavity, for improved

nose. Rhinoplasty (nose surgery, nose surgery) can reduce or enlarge, alter the shape of the muzzle and the nasal entrance with the nostrils and the nostrils, and alter the length of the nose and the angle between the nose and upper lip nose. The intervention is carried out mainly for aesthetic reasons on the harmonization of the nose and the entire face (aesthetic rhinoplasty), to improve nasal breathing function (functional rhinoplasty), and according to birth defects such as facial clefts or accidents

INTRODUCTION Nasal lobular haemangioma is a rare benign tumour of the Sino nasal tract 1. The exact aetiology of this condition is unknown. Though Head and Neck is the most common location of these tumours, involvement of Sino nasal tract is very rare. The most common sites of these tumours are gingiva, lips and tongue. These are rapidly growing hyper vascular lesions. The clinical features, radiological features and pathological findings are described in Manuscript Click here to download Manuscript:

Nose piercing may seem innovative but the custom has been around for almost four thousand years. It is a process which a needle punctured the nasal septum,the nostril, or nasal bridge to create an opening for the placement of a jewelry. This practice is performed as a representation or for beauty purposes. Originated in the Middle East, moving to India in the 1500s and reaching the Western civilization by the 20th century. According to the Book of Genesis, Isaac, the son of Abraham gave Rebekah

DISCUSSION The exact incidence of nasal septal perforation is unknown as most of the patients are asymptomatic and others may not seek medical attention2. Iatrogenic cause still continues to be a main reason for nasal septal perforation. Excessive nasal packing, post-operative septal haematomas and infections may result in septal perforations following surgery2. However, with refinements in rhinologic surgeries, the incidence of nasal septal perforation secondary to septal surgery has declined

DISCUSSION Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure to reshape the nose. It’s a surgical challenge for the operating surgeon, because every patient has different nasal anatomy and there is no single ideal nose for every face. Every patient has different expectations from the surgery. Moreover, the choice of techniques utilized this procedure and presence of difficulty in foreseeing the long term outcomes of the procedure. Outcome assessment is an integral part of any surgical intervention, especially

Respiration consists of transportation of oxygen from the atmosphere to the body tissues and the release and carriage of carbon dioxide formed in the tissues to the atmosphere. The human respiratory system is a series of organs responsible for taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide. We can list the primary organs of the respiratory system as nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs which carry out this exchange of gases as we breathe. During inspiration air passes through respiratory

get complete relief of symptoms. It is critical that treatment occur for a minimum of several weeks, and commonly patients may need to be treated for several months. Antifungal agents may need to be used for an even longer period. We commonly continue nonantibiotic treatment after stopping antibiotics. If patients don't get better, it is important for them to be evaluated for surgery. What is the place of acupuncture in sinusitis? A wide variety of non-traditional treatments have been used in treatment

ethmoid infundibulum. In cases where hypoplastic maxillary sinuses are present, lateral elevation of the uncinate process until it fuses with the medial orbital wall can impede the integrity of the orbit. Congenital or traumatic deviation of the nasal septum can result in compression of the middle meatus and subsequent obstruction of the drainage pathway. Complications of these variations arise when they obstruct the drainage pathway of the respective paranasal sinuses. Pneumatization of respective

Nasal congestion is a feeling of blocked nose that can become a real problem impacting the quality of your life. Such congestion could lead to greater problems if left unattended, especially when the condition persists beyond the normal duration. It is important to understand the underlying conditions that cause congestion of the nose. Some conditions settle down on their own, while others will require some interventions to be alleviated. Nose congestion are usually caused by the inflammation

versus mucosal hypertrophy. If clinical presentation raises the concern of other obstructive processes such as nasal polyps or masses, CT imaging of the nose and sinuses should be performed. Rhinomanometry: Rhinomanometry is a technique for measuring nasal airway resistance. It is limited in that it does not provide a diagnosis or etiology of the obstruction. It provides a measure of nasal resistance at a specific time. The technique is performed by applying a tight-fitting mask with a central aperture

his skills. The lacrimal drainage system anatomy can be discussed under following components: 1. Embryology 2. Osteology 3. Nasal and paranasal sinuses 4. Secretory system 5. Excretory system Embryology Familiarity with lacrimal system embryology is necessary to understand congenital abnormalities of the nasolacrimal drainage system. Secrtory

Nasal Fracture A nasal fracture is a break or crack in the bones of the nose. Minor breaks do not require treatment. These breaks usually heal on their own in about a month. Serious breaks may require surgery. CAUSES This condition is usually caused by a blunt injury to the nose. This type of injury often occurs from: • Contact sports. • Car accidents. • Falls. • Getting punched. SYMPTOMS Symptoms of this condition include: • Pain. • Swelling of the nose. • Bleeding from the
