“…Stenosis of canal is difficult to treat and needs surgical expertise. Stenosis of tubular canals tends to resist, fibrous tissue contracts concentrically leading to constriction and stenosis 1 . Nasal vestibular stenosis may be acquired or congenital.…”
Vestibular stenosis is an uncommon but debilitating cause of nasal obstruction leading to serious impairment of airway. It is caused by granulation and fibrosis of vestibular lining and there is circumferential scar retraction in the inlet of nasal cavities. Stenosis may be congenital or acquired. Causes of acquired stenosis include burns, trauma, infections, and iatrogenic insult to the lining of vestibule. Surgical correction is usually done by excision of fibrous tissue. A number of studies have been reported on surgical correction but not a single technique is widely accepted due to different diseases and different levels of deformities. Here we are suggesting a technique in which flaps have been raised and scar fibrous tissue is removed. This technique gives a good outcome and satisfactory result in a patient with post traumatic unilateral stenosis.

“…Surgical procedures can be a challenge due to the tendency for scar contracture and recurrence. Its ability to withstand contraction eliminates the need for postoperative stenting and provides good results [ 1 , 4 ]. This paper aims to report the success of stenting a trauma-related nasal vestibular stenosis.…”
“…Nostril or vestibular stenosis is a rare disease that causes nasal obstruction and can be classified as either congenital or acquired. Acquired nostril stenosis is mainly caused by trauma, infection, burns, and scarring from previous surgery [1]. The pathological feature of acquired stenosis is the proliferation of secondary fibrotic tissue after damage to the subcutaneous tissue beneath the vestibular skin, particularly a circumferential scar [2,3].…”
Nostril or vestibular stenosis is a rare disease that usually occurs after trauma, infection, or burns in acquired cases. Nostril stenosis in pediatric cases is even rarer; however, it must be considered after trauma. Nostril stenosis involves the proliferation of secondary fibrous tissue in damaged subcutaneous tissues, resulting in a circumferential scar that leads to nasal obstruction on the involved side. Because each case of vestibular stenosis is diverse, no standard treatment has been established. Here, we present cases of successfully treated posttraumatic shallow nostril stenosis in pediatric patients and highlight the importance of early surgery.
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.
