Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

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 Cavity01:24

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...
Epistaxis01:30

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 Airway01:29

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.

Anatomy of Respiratory System I: Upper Respiratory Tract01:29

Anatomy of Respiratory System I: Upper Respiratory Tract

The upper respiratory tract plays a vital role in the respiratory system, comprising several structures that facilitate air intake and prepare air for the lungs. It also serves as the first line of defense against pathogens and particles. This tract includes the nose and nasal cavity, the oral cavity, the paranasal sinuses, and the pharynx, each with specific functions and features.
Nose and nasal cavity
The nose and nasal cavity represent the main external openings of the respiratory tract.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Nasal septum malignancies are rare, with fewer than 400 cases reported, limiting disease understanding.
  • This study addresses the rarity of nasal septum cancers by analyzing patient data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on a series of patients with nasal septum malignancies.
  • To analyze the clinical presentation, histology, and outcomes of nasal septum cancers.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of patients with nasal septum malignancies.
  • Data collected from patients referred to Princess Alexandra Hospital, Ear, Nose and Throat Department between 2007 and 2010.

Main Results:

  • Seventeen patients diagnosed with nasal septum malignancies.
  • Common symptoms included nasal obstruction (53%) and epistaxis (47%); common findings were nasal masses (65%) and ulcers (24%).
  • Predominant histology was squamous cell carcinoma; 3-year overall survival was 81.9% and relapse-free survival was 66.7%.

Conclusions:

  • Nasal septum malignancies are treatable with good prognosis in early stages, necessitating high clinical suspicion for early detection.
  • Surgical resection and radiotherapy offer similar 3-year survival rates; combined therapy for larger tumors requires further validation.
  • Vigilant follow-up is essential for early recurrence detection, particularly in advanced lesions.
