Nose and Nasal Cavity01:24

Nose and Nasal Cavity

13.4K
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...

Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

Cranial 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...

Cranial 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,...

Epistaxis01:30

Epistaxis

662
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...

The Pineal Gland01:02

The Pineal Gland

5.9K
The pineal gland, a diminutive endocrine structure named for its pinecone-shaped appearance, is situated atop the third ventricle within the diencephalon region of the forebrain. This gland, composed of secretory cells known as pinealocytes arranged in compact cords and clusters around dense particles of calcium salts, plays a pivotal role in hormonal regulation.
The primary secretion of the pineal gland is the hormone melatonin, derived from serotonin. The concentration of melatonin in the...

Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure01:03

Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure

12.4K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Virology

Background:

  • Orf, a zoonotic disease caused by parapoxvirus, typically presents with lesions on the hands.
  • Nasal orf lesions are exceptionally rare in medical literature.

Observation:

  • A 52-year-old man developed a rare orf lesion on his nose following the Muslim Feast of Sacrifice.
  • The patient's nasal lesion resolved spontaneously within 8 weeks.

Findings:

  • This case represents a rare instance of orf infection manifesting on the nose.
  • The patient experienced no recurrence of the lesion after a 1-year follow-up period.

Implications:

  • Orf virus transmission may be associated with the Feast of Sacrifice in Muslim communities.
  • Increased awareness of orf presentation is crucial for timely diagnosis and management, especially in endemic regions.
