Summary
Congenital panfollicular nevus is a rare nasal midline lesion. Surgical excision is the recommended treatment for this condition presenting with recurrent discharge.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Otolaryngology
- Pediatric Surgery
Background:
- Congenital nasal midline lesions are uncommon pathologies.
- Common lesions include dermoid cysts, gliomas, encephaloceles, nasal polyps, and epidermoid cysts.
Observation:
- This case presents a rare congenital panfollicular nevus, a less frequent cause of congenital nasal midline lesions.
- The patient exhibited recurrent discharge, a clinical manifestation of the condition.
Findings:
- The study details the surgical excision of a congenital panfollicular nevus.
- The nevus presented with three distinct fistula openings, highlighting a complex anatomical presentation.
Implications:
- This case contributes to the understanding of rare congenital nasal midline pathologies.
- Surgical excision is confirmed as an effective treatment for congenital panfollicular nevus.
- Highlights the importance of considering rare diagnoses in cases of recurrent nasal discharge.

01:24Nose and Nasal Cavity
9.7K
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...

01:24Prosopagnosia
643
Prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness, is the inability to recognize faces. In severe cases, individuals with prosopagnosia may not recognize close family members, including parents and spouses, by their faces. For instance, someone with prosopagnosia might walk past their child in a crowd, only realizing their mistake upon noticing their child's distinctive backpack or favorite jacket. Prosopagnosia specifically impairs facial recognition, while the recognition of other objects or...

01:03Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure
11.0K
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...

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
4.3K
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
477
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...

01:30Neurulation
44.9K
Neurulation is the embryological process which forms the precursors of the central nervous system and occurs after gastrulation has established the three primary cell layers of the embryo: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. In humans, the majority of this system is formed via primary neurulation, in which the central portion of the ectoderm—originally appearing as a flat sheet of cells—folds upwards and inwards, sealing off to form a hollow neural tube. As development proceeds, the...
