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...

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...

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.

Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Congenital Anomalies
Pediatric Otolaryngology

Background:

Supernumerary nostril is a rare congenital nasal deformity.
It arises from embryological defects and may include accessory cartilage.
Only 34 cases have been reported since 1906.

Observation:

A 1-year-old female presented with an accessory opening above the left nostril since birth.
The supernumerary nostril measured 0.2 cm in diameter and connected to the left nostril.
The patient had a normal right nostril and unremarkable medical history.

Findings:

A minimal procedure was performed for the anomaly.
Rhinoplasty was conducted after one year to address nostril asymmetry.
Satisfactory functional and cosmetic results were observed at the one-year follow-up.

Implications:

Early preoperative diagnosis of supernumerary nostrils is essential.
Timely corrective surgery is recommended for improved psychosocial development.
This case highlights the importance of addressing congenital nasal deformities promptly.
