The systematic use of fiberoptic techniques in the sinonasal region has made it possible to assess the nasal septum with more precision. The presence of limited septal deviation or isolated septal spurs can cause airway obstruction in the sinuses or impede the execution of endoscopic sinonasal procedures for a disorder not related to the morphology of the nasal septum. This study assesses the indications, surgical technique, and results in 170 patients who underwent endoscopic limited septoplasty performed concomitantly with endoscopic sinonasal surgery.
Clivus pathologies from diagnosis to surgical multidisciplinary treatment. Review of the literature Patologie del clivus dalla diagnosi al trattamento chirurgico multidisciplinare. Revisione della letteratura
Schwannomas of the nasal septum are extremely rare, and therefore their diagnosis and treatment can pose certain challenges. We describe the case of an incidentally discovered schwannoma of the nasal septum that was unique in that the lesion was completely asymptomatic. In view of our finding, we believe that routine examinations of both nasal fossae should be considered during routine diagnostic laryngeal flexible endoscopy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
