Abstract:
The use of a new autologous material, the inferior turbinate bone, for nasal augmentation is presented together with surgical treatment of a 24-year-old male patient with moderately severe saddle nose deformity. In the postoperative period, no complications were observed. Photographs and three-dimensional computed tomography views obtained 13 months after the operation showed that the reconstruction area was highly free of postoperative resorption. The patient's complaints disappeared, and he was satisfied with functional and cosmetic results. Moreover, a histologic evaluation which was made to assess the depth of the glandular component showed that the inferior turbinate bone could be used over the nasal dorsum in a smoother shape, retaining its overlying soft tissue.

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...

The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
