“…Although medical treatment failed for all the patients and required surgical enlargement of the pyriform aperture, no complications were seen, and all patients improved in symptoms and development. Similar findings were reported by Sesenna [68], Berlucchi [69], Tagliarini [70], and Losken (2002) [71].…”

Objective To identify the causes and treatments of nasal obstruction in the paediatric population. Methods A systematic search of Medline and Embase was conducted to identify the relevant articles. A detailed inclusion and exclusion criterion was developed and implemented to screen the abstracts. Full texts of the selected studies were then assessed to establish their inclusion or exclusion in our review. All relevant data were extracted, and the results were summarised narratively. Results Fifty-nine studies met out inclusion-exclusion criteria and were included in this systematic review. All of these primary research studies were categorised into causes and treatments. Cleft lip and palate was the most reported cause of nasal obstruction among congenital causes. However, among the acquired causes, allergic rhinitis was the most reported. Twenty-one of 39 studies described treatments for allergic rhinitis, including perennial rhinitis, 9 for adenoid hypertrophy, 2 for the common cold, 5 for septal deviation, and 2 for chronic rhinosinusitis. Conclusion This systematic review provides good evidence regarding the causes and treatments of nasal obstruction. Allergic rhinitis is the most common cause of acquired nasal obstruction, and cetirizine, fexofenadine, fluticasone furoate nasal spray, and mometasone furoate monohydrate nasal are the commonly used treatments to alleviate the symptoms.

“…With a few exceptions, 44,45 over the past 30 years, the term has not been used frequently in connection with other craniofacial malformations (other than cleft lip). One such exception is holoprosencephaly (HPE); 46,47 a very interesting aspect is discussed in one study: 48 several specific mutations causing clear phenotypic signs of "microform HPE" could be linked with above average intellectual function. 48 It is important to emphasize that most recent studies did not use the term in the same sense intended by Mengele.…”

History of Eugenics in Otorhinolaryngology: Ernst Rüdin and the International Eugenics Network

Introduction The early geneticist and psychiatrist Ernst Rüdin (1874–1952) became one of the key figures in the eugenics movement and in the German health system of the Nazi era. His connections in the international eugenics network have played an important role in the history of eugenics. Objective To discuss the connections between Ernst Rüdin's scientific group in Munich and Otmar von Verschuer's group in Frankfurt during the Nazi era. Methods Otorhinolaryngological materials from Ernst Rüdin's former private library are presented, and they show Rüdin's deep involvement in the international eugenics network. These materials provide insights into early medical genetics in otorhinolaryngology. Results One result of the present study is that eugenics groups from Munich, Frankfurt, and New York certainly influenced one another in the field of otorhinolaryngology. Karlheinz Idelberger and Josef Mengele were two scientists who performed hereditary research on orofacial clefts. Later, Mengele became deeply involved in Nazi medical crimes. His former work on orofacial clefts clearly had, to some extent, an influence on subsequent studies. Conclusion An international eugenics network already existed before 1933. However, it becomes clear that the weaknesses of many early genetic studies did not enable its authors to draw firm scientific conclusions, suggesting that scientists lacked an accurate concept of the genetic causes of most illnesses.

“…2 Other complications of CNPAS can be observed later in life and are usually associated with a microform of holoprosencephaly (HPE). 4,5 The complications of HPE result from abnormal development of the prosencephalon and medial facial structures, which can include pituitary abnormalities, craniofacial and brain malformations, a single central maxillary incisor, ocular defects, and varying degrees of mental retardation. 4Y8 Some studies report that developmental delay is present in all live-born HPE patients and is worse with severe brain malformations.…”

Congenital Pyriform Aperture Stenosis

Neonates rely on the nasal airway for their source of air; thus, any compromise in the ability to inhale will dramatically alter their ability to breathe. Congenital nasal pyriform aperture stenosis is a rare yet serious form of airway obstruction due to overgrowth of the maxilla at the medial nasal process. Infants typically present with difficulty feeding and obvious difficulty breathing. Radiologic imaging aids in confirming the diagnosis and assists in operative planning to open the medial nasal process to reduce airway resistance. Further corrective surgery is often needed and is planned commensurate with facial growth. We present a novel case of a child diagnosed with congenital nasal pyriform aperture stenosis who has performed extraordinarily well intellectually and has achieved an excellent cosmetic and physiological reconstruction of the nose and airway.
