Summary
Osteomas are benign bone tumors. This study reports a rare nasal bone osteoma causing aesthetic issues, successfully treated with open rhinoplasty.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Plastic Surgery
- Oncology
Background:
- Osteomas are benign bone tumors commonly found in the mandible and paranasal sinuses.
- Nasal osteomas, particularly those on the external nasal bone, are exceptionally rare.
Observation:
- A case of an osteoma located on the outer side of the nasal bone is presented.
- This specific osteoma caused significant aesthetic deformity of the nasal dorsum due to its large diameter.
Findings:
- The external nasal bone osteoma presented a unique clinical challenge.
- Surgical excision via an open rhinoplasty approach proved effective in addressing the aesthetic concerns.
Implications:
- This case highlights the rarity of external nasal bone osteomas.
- Open rhinoplasty is a viable surgical option for managing nasal bone osteomas causing aesthetic problems.

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
7.6K
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...

01:24Nose and Nasal Cavity
13.5K
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...

01:14Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
8.3K
The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
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,...

01:03Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure
12.9K
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...

01:26Bone Markings
8.5K
Bones have various surface features that help form joints and attach to other soft tissues. Depending on the function, bone markings are categorized into articulating projections, processes for attachment, depressions, and openings.
Articulating Projections
Articulating projections are found where two bones meet to form a joint. These structures are usually found at the ends of bones. The largest articulation is a rounded projection called the head, supported by a narrow neck at the ends of...

01:22Sutures of the Skull
13.7K
The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
