Summary
Most dislocated nasal fractures require treatment due to complication risks. Initial management addresses other facial injuries and septal hematomas, with closed reduction for simple cases and open reduction for complex ones.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Facial Trauma Surgery
- Rhinology
Background:
- Dislocated nasal fractures present a significant risk of complications.
- Prompt evaluation is crucial for associated injuries like facial fractures and septal hematomas.
Purpose of the Study:
- To outline the treatment protocols for dislocated nasal fractures.
- To differentiate management strategies for simple versus complicated nasal fractures.
Main Methods:
- Review of treatment approaches for nasal fractures.
- Classification of nasal fractures based on complexity.
- Description of surgical techniques: closed reduction and open reduction.
Main Results:
- Most dislocated nasal fractures necessitate treatment to mitigate complications.
- Simple fractures are typically managed with closed reduction under local anesthesia within 5-7 days.
- Complicated fractures require open reduction under general anesthesia.
Conclusions:
- Timely intervention for nasal fractures is essential.
- Surgical approach (closed vs. open reduction) depends on fracture complexity.
- Revision surgery may be needed for persistent deformity or stenosis.

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
7.9K
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...

01:30Epistaxis
712
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...

01:24Nose and Nasal Cavity
15.3K
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...

01:03Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure
14.2K
The process of olfaction, also known as the sense of smell, is a sophisticated chemical response system. The specialized sensory neurons that facilitate this process, known as olfactory receptor neurons, are situated in an upper segment of the nasal cavity, known as the olfactory epithelium. Olfactory sensory neurons are bipolar, with their dendrites extending from the epithelium's apex into the mucus that lines the nasal cavity. Airborne molecules, when inhaled, traverse the olfactory...

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
6.5K
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

01:08Overview of the Skull
8.8K
The cranium (skull) is the skeletal structure of the head that supports the face and protects the brain. It is subdivided into the facial bones and the brain case, or cranial vault. The facial bones underlie the facial structures, form the nasal cavity, enclose the eyeballs, and support the teeth of the upper and lower jaws.
The cranial vault surrounds and protects the brain and houses the middle and inner ear structures. This cavity is bounded superiorly by the rounded top of the skull, which...
