Cranial Bones: Lateral View

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Nose and Nasal Cavity

Nose and Nasal Cavity

The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. This structure is supported by the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillary bone and is supplemented by a cartilaginous framework comprising the septal nasal cartilage, lateral nasal...

Epistaxis

Epistaxis

Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Harvesting septal grafts during cleft rhinoplasty does not improve nasal function. This procedure neither benefits nor harms nasal airflow in patients with unilateral or bilateral cleft lip and palate.

Background:

Cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients often require rhinoplasty to correct external nasal deformities.
Septal cartilage is frequently harvested as a graft material for these reconstructive procedures.
The impact of simultaneous septoplasty on nasal function in CLP patients undergoing rhinoplasty is not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the effect of harvesting septal grafts and performing a simultaneous septoplasty on nasal function in patients with cleft lip and palate undergoing rhinoplasty.

Main Methods:

A cohort of 14 patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and 4 with bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) were studied.
Nasal airflow resistance was objectively measured using active rhinomanometry before and after the surgical procedure.
Patient subjective complaints regarding nasal airflow were also recorded.

Main Results:

Preoperative and postoperative nasal resistance was normal or near-normal in most UCLP and all BCLP patients.
Five UCLP patients experienced significantly increased nasal resistance on the cleft side post-surgery.
While three of these five showed some improvement, their nasal resistance remained abnormal.

Conclusions:

Harvesting septal grafts and performing a simultaneous septoplasty during rhinoplasty in cleft patients does not improve nasal function.
The procedure does not appear to have a deleterious effect on nasal airflow.
Patients primarily seek rhinoplasty for aesthetic improvement of the nasal deformity associated with cleft lip and palate.
