RESUMO
PURPOSE: The nasal foramen is located in the nasal bone and for vessels passage to supply the nasal area. This project aimed to establish reliable references for the nasal foramina for future clinical applications. METHODS: The 72 dried skulls, 46 from the Division of Anatomy, University of Phayao, Thailand, and 26 from the Tulane University School of Medicine, USA, were collected and examined. The location, number, and sizes of nasal foramina were noted. The distances from each nasal foramen to the internasal suture, frontonasal suture, nasomaxillary suture, nasion, and rhinion were also recorded and used in the statistical analytical programs. RESULTS: The most common type of nasal foramen in all skulls was type II (one external opening) at 65.97%, followed by type I (no foramen opening) at 20.83%, type III (two external openings) at 11.11% and type IV at 2.08% (three external openings). Nasal foramen subtypes in many of the Thai and American skulls were type IIb and type IIa. The diameter of a connecting nasal foramen was significantly larger than that of a non-connecting. Results from embalmed confirmed the passage of the external nasal artery through the nasal cavity. CONCLUSION: The study shows no significant difference in nasal foramen morphometry between Thai and American. It illustrates recent data on type and subtype classifications and the location of a vascular passage through the nasal foramen. This is the first study of NF variations and their respective classifications.

Osteotomy is often necessary for the repair of post-traumatic nasal bone deformities. Typically, tools such as chisels are used for osteotomies; however, we performed osteotomies using Kirschner wires without making a skin incision. Between April 2011 and July 2022, we performed rhinoplasty with external perforated osteotomy using Kirschner wires in 13 patients with post-traumatic nasal bone deformities (9 males and 4 females; mean age, 34 years, range 12-51 years), all of whom exhibited improvement, with only one case showing mild residual cosmetic deformity. None of the patients requested further revision, and all were satisfied with their functional results. The non-incisional external perforated technique is a reasonable method that allows for bone osteotomies along the fracture line and is well-controlled, predictable, and reproducible.

BACKGROUND: This meta-analysis aimed to perform a head-to-head comparison of the role of general anesthesia (GA) and local anesthesia (LA) in the management of patients with nasal bone fractures (NBFs). METHODS: PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were comprehensively searched. Studies investigating the clinical outcomes of GA and LA in the management of NBFs were included. Pooled odds ratios (OR) with the respective 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Heterogeneity between the included studies was evaluated. The risk of bias in the included studies was assessed. RESULTS: Eight studies were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled ORs for cosmetic results, residual septal deformity, the need for further surgery, patients' satisfaction with the anesthesia procedure, and patients' satisfaction with the surgery results were 0.70 (95% CI 0.18, 2.64; z = - 0.53, p = 0.5957), 1.11 (95% CI 0.37, 3.30; z = 0.18, p = 0.8558), 1.19 (95% CI 0.65, 2.20; z = 0.56, p = 0.5760), 1.57 (95% CI 0.92, 2.69; z = 1.65, p = 0.0982), and 1.00 (95% CI 0.55, 1.80; z = - 0.00, p = 0.9974). CONCLUSIONS: Insignificant difference on clinical outcomes was observed between GA and LA in the manipulation of patients with NBFs, and the choice of anesthetic approach should be based on the tolerability of the methods and the severity of nasal fractures.

OBJECTIVE: Naso-orbito-ethmoidal fractures (NOE) fractures are uncommon but critical injuries. This review aims to investigate the patient factors, procedural factors, and postoperative outcomes associated with the surgical management of NOE fractures. STUDY DESIGN: PubMed and Scopus databases were systematically searched between 1993 and 2023 using the search strategy "(naso-orbito-ethmoidal OR nasoethmoid OR nasoorbitoethmoidal) AND fracture." Articles reporting clinical studies investigating the surgical management of NOE fractures were included. Articles that were duplicates, non-English, or non-full text; reported an unclear age range; reported insufficient data; and/or reported on a sample size less than 10 were excluded. Data on patient factors, procedural factors, and postoperative outcomes were extracted. RESULTS: Of the 412 articles identified, 6 eligible articles (retrospective case series) representing 95 adult cases and 84 pediatric cases were included. The mean ages were 29.0 and 10.2 years, respectively. Most cases were male (65.3%; 73.9%). Motor vehicle accidents were the most common mechanism of injury (79.2% and 50.0%, respectively). Coronal incision was the most common approach. Epiphora (n = 33) and scar problems (n = 21) were the most common complications in adult and pediatric cases, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Further robust longitudinal studies with a clear description of fracture classification and surgical timing would be helpful. Gaps in knowledge include concomitant injuries, digitally-assisted applications, and risk factors for adverse outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Absent or hypoplastic nasal bone (AHNB) on first or second-trimester ultrasonography (USG) is an important soft marker of Down syndrome. However, due to its varied incidence in euploid and aneuploid fetuses, there is always a dilemma of whether to go for invasive fetal testing for isolated AHNB. This study aims to assess outcomes specifically within the context of Indian ethnicity women. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a prospective observational study. All patients who reported with AHNB in the first- or second-trimester USG were included. Genetic counseling was done, and noninvasive and invasive testing was offered. Chromosomal anomalies were meticulously recorded, and pregnancy was monitored. RESULTS: The incidence of AHNB in our study was 1.16% (47/4051). Out of 47 women with AHNB, the isolated condition was seen in 32 (0.78%) cases, while AHNB with structural anomalies was seen in nine cases (0.22%). Thirty-nine women opted for invasive testing. Six out of 47 had aneuploidy (12.7%), while two euploid cases (4.25%) developed nonimmune hydrops. The prevalence of Down syndrome in fetuses with AHNB was 8.5% (4/47) and 0.42% (17/4004) in fetuses with nasal bone present. This difference was statistically significant (p = .001). CONCLUSION: The results indicate that isolated AHNB cases should be followed by a comprehensive anomaly scan rather than immediately recommending invasive testing. However, invasive testing is required when AHNB is associated with other soft markers or abnormalities. As chromosomal microarray is more sensitive than standard karyotype in detecting chromosomal aberrations, it should be chosen over karyotype.

This retrospective study aimed to assess the effects of the use of intraoperative three-dimensional (3D) imaging on outcomes in surgical treatment of nasal fractures. Furthermore, we investigated whether the use of intraoperative imaging improves outcomes and decreases the frequency of corrective surgeries compared to published literature. This retrospective descriptive study included patients who underwent operative treatment for nasal fractures with the use of intraoperative 3D imaging between January 2015 and January 2020 at a University Hospital. The primary outcome measure was patient satisfaction, which was assessed through patient charts about subjective esthetic problems and nasal obstruction. The secondary outcome measures were the number of intraoperative images and necessity of intra- and postoperative revisions. All the outcomes were evaluated using regression analysis. Of the 172 patients, secondary rhinoplasty and intraoperative revision were performed in 10 (6 %) and 93 (54 %) patients, respectively. Postoperatively, 19 (11 %) and 12 (7 %) patients complained of subjective esthetic problems and nasal obstruction, respectively. The intraoperative revision rate in patients undergoing surgical treatment of nasal fractures with intraoperative 3D imaging was >50 %. However, the incidence of postoperative secondary revision, nasal obstruction, and subjective esthetic problems was lower than that reported in the literature not having an intraoperative imaging. Our findings suggest that prompt quality control of the operative result enables immediate correction and prevents postoperative revision.

BACKGROUND: Pathogenic copy number variants (pCNVs) are associated with fetal ultrasound anomalies, which can be efficiently identified through chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). The primary objective of the present study was to enhance understanding of the genotype-phenotype correlation in fetuses exhibiting absent or hypoplastic nasal bones using CMA. METHODS: Enrolled in the present study were 94 cases of fetuses with absent/hypoplastic nasal bone, which were divided into an isolated absent/hypoplastic nasal bone group (n = 49) and a non-isolated group (n = 45). All pregnant women enrolled in the study underwent karyotype analysis and CMA to assess chromosomal abnormalities in the fetuses. RESULTS: Karyotype analysis and CMA detection were successfully performed in all cases. The results of karyotype and CMA indicate the presence of 11 cases of chromosome aneuploidy, with trisomy 21 being the most prevalent among them. A small supernumerary marker chromosome (sSMC) detected by karyotype analysis was further interpreted as a pCNV by CMA. Additionally, CMA detection elicited three cases of pCNVs, despite normal findings in their karyotype analysis results. Among them, one case of Roche translocation was identified to be a UPD in chromosome 15 with a low proportion of trisomy 15. Further, a significant difference in the detection rate of pCNVs was observed between non-isolated and isolated absent/hypoplastic nasal bone (24.44% vs. 8.16%, p < .05). CONCLUSION: The present study enhances the utility of CMA in diagnosing the etiology of absent or hypoplastic nasal bone in fetuses. Further, isolated cases of absent or hypoplastic nasal bone strongly suggest the presence of chromosomal abnormalities, necessitating genetic evaluation through CMA.

The treatment of nasal bone fractures involves closed reduction, in which the reduction position is generally evaluated indirectly by visual examination and palpation. While more direct evaluation methods using ultrasonography can improve treatment outcomes, ultrasonography of the nasal bones requires acoustic coupling materials to hold the entire ultrasonography probe in close contact with the nose. We report the use of the Glove Finger Pad, a homemade acoustic coupling material made from a medical glove. The Glove Finger Pad is easy to prepare and use and produces good images. We believe that the Glove Finger Pad will further enhance the usefulness of ultrasonography for the treatment of nasal fractures.

Ultrasonography, a radiation-free and cost-effective modality, stands out as a promising tool for evaluating nasal bone fractures. Despite limited literature on its pediatric application, there is an increasing recognition of its potential to enhance diagnostic precision. To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of ultrasound in detecting pediatric nasal bone fractures. Employing established guidelines, a systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted through a comprehensive literature search in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase databases until December 5, 2023. Inclusion criteria encompassed studies reporting diagnostic accuracy measures of ultrasound in pediatric patients with nasal bone fractures. Data extraction and analysis were undertaken for the selected studies. Involving four studies with 277 patients, ultrasound demonstrated a pooled sensitivity of 66.1% (95% CI: 35.1-87.5%) and specificity of 86.8% (95% CI: 80.1-91.4%) in diagnosing pediatric nasal fractures. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.88 (95% CI: 0.72-0.93). After excluding an outlier study, sensitivity and specificity increased to 78.0% (95% CI: 65.6-86.9%) and 87.8 (95% CI: 78.1-93.6%), respectively, with an AUC of 0.79 (95% CI: 0.75-0.94). Pooled positive and negative likelihood ratios were 5.11 (95% CI: 2.12-9.15) and 0.40 (95% CI: 0.14-0.77) before exclusion and 6.75 (95% CI: 3.47-12.30) and 0.26 (95% CI: 0.15-0.40) after exclusion of an outlier study, respectively. This study highlighted ultrasonography's utility in diagnosing pediatric nasal bone fractures with high accuracy and specificity. However, caution is advised in relying solely on ultrasound due to suboptimal overall diagnostic performance, evident in likelihood ratios.

AIM: Two-phase treatment for children with Class II malocclusion with several functional appliances is still performed by many orthodontists, while the Activator and the Bionator appliances are two of the most popular ones. Aim of this study was to compare the skeletal and dentoalveolar effects of treatment with these two appliances. METHODS: Class II children treated with Activator or Bionator in the first phase, followed by a phase of fixed appliances were included. Skeletal and dentoalveolar parameters were assessed from lateral cephalograms and analysed with linear regressions at 5%. RESULTS: A total of 89 patients (mean age 10.0 years; 47% female) were included. During the first phase, Bionator increased less the SNB (difference in mean treatment-induced changes [MD] -0.7°; 95% confidence interval [CI] -1.3 to -0.2°; P=0.01) and decreased less the ANB angle (MD 0.6°; 95% CI 0 to 1.1°; P=0.03) compared to Activator. Activator slightly increased the facial axis and Bionator reduced it (MD -1.6°; 95% CI -2.3 to -0.8°; P<0.001). Compared to Activator, the Bionator retroclined more the upper incisors (MD -2.4°; 95% CI -4.6 to -0.2°; P=0.03) and increased more the interincisal angle (MD 2.9°; 95% CI 0.5 to 5.4°; P=0.02). After the second phase (6.2 years after baseline), the only differences were a reduced facial axis (MD -1.3°; 95% CI -2.2 to -0.3°; P=0.008) and an increased maxillary rotation (MD 0.9°; 95% CI 0 to 1.8°; P=0.04) with Bionator compared to Activator. CONCLUSION: Similar dentoalveolar effects were seen overall with two-phase treatment with either appliance, with Bionator being associated with more vertical increase compared to Activator.

AIM: In this study, we compared the ratio of second trimester fetal biometric measurements to nasal bone length (NBL) in fetuses with normal karyotype and trisomy 21 to determine their diagnostic prognostic value. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 148 pregnant women who obtained second-trimester ultrasonographic fetal anatomy and had amniocentesis (AS) for fetal karyotyping. The fetal karyotype results divided the groups into normal and trisomy 21 fetuses. Age, obstetric history, first and/or second trimester screening test risk ratios, fetal biometric measurements, and NBL mm, median (MoM) multiples, and percentile values were recorded and compared between groups. RESULTS: BPD/NBL ratios above 9.26 predict trisomy 21 in fetuses with 77.6% sensitivity and 86.1% specificity (p = 0.001). HC/NBL ratios above 34.50 predict trisomy 21 in fetuses with 77.8% sensitivity and 88.8% specificity (p = 0.001). FL/NBL ratios above 6.02 predict trisomy 21 in fetuses with 69.6% sensitivity and 72.2% specificity (p = 0.001). HL/NB ratios above 6.56 predict trisomy 21 in fetuses with 95.5% sensitivity and 47.2% specificity (p = 0.001). The NBL MoM value demonstrated a high diagnostic accuracy for normal-karyotype fetuses (p = 0.021). CONCLUSION: We found that BPD/NBL, HC/NBL, FL/NBL, and HL/NBL ratios differed between fetuses with a normal karyotype and those with trisomy 21, specifically the HC/NBL ratio, which predicted trisomy 21 with good diagnostic accuracy. In identifying normal-karyotype fetuses, the NBL MoM was highly accurate.

Introduction: ENTUK guidelines recommend that manipulation of nasal bones (MNB) should be performed within 14 days of injury. However, evidence suggests treatment under general anaesthetic remains effective up to 5 weeks after injury. With the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic leading to delays in referral and limited access to theatre, local practice changed to offer delayed MNB under local anaesthetic. This prospective study assesses the effectiveness of MNB delayed until 3 weeks or later from time of injury when performed mostly under local anaesthetic. Methods: Data was prospectively collected between April and November 2020. All patients referred to ENT with a new nasal bone deformity presenting more than 21 days after injury were included. Demographic information, injury details and patient satisfaction was recorded for each patient. Results: 11 patients were included. Average age was 32.6 years (Range 8-65 years). 10 procedures (91%) were performed under local anaesthetic, with 1 (9%) performed under general anaesthetic. 9 patients (82%) gained complete reduction of the deformity, and 1 patient (9%) gaining partial reduction. 10 patients (91%) patients were satisfied with the cosmetic outcome. Conclusion: This study supports the small volume of recent literature showing that delayed manipulation of nasal bones is effective and additionally demonstrates that efficacy is maintained when performed under local anaesthetic.

PURPOSE: Naso-orbital-ethmoid (NOE) complex fractures present a challenge to repair. The classification system used to categorize the fracture type was established in 1991 based off the medial canthal tendon attachment. The primary objective was to systematically review the literature outlining repair techniques for NOE fracture after the adoption of the Markowitz classification system. METHODS: A systematic search was performed in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science to identify peer-reviewed research. Eligible studies were peer-reviewed articles reporting on operative techniques used to repair NOE fractures in adult patients after 1991. Two investigators independently reviewed all articles and extracted data. Level of evidence was assessed by Oxford Center for Evidence-based Medicine guidelines. RESULTS: This review identified 16 articles that met inclusion/exclusion criteria representing 517 patients. One article outlined a closed reduction technique with transnasal wiring. The remaining articles discussed open approaches with various exposure techniques, most common being the coronal incision. Miniplates and screws were most often implemented for rigid fixation as well as transnasal wiring to repair disrupted medial canthal tendon and canthal bearing bone in Type 2 and 3 NOE fractures. Ten of the studies included in this review had a level of evidence of 4. CONCLUSIONS: NOE fractures present a complex fracture pattern and challenge to repair. New exposure techniques and multidisciplinary approaches have been described. However, fixation techniques have remained relatively consistent through the years. Surgeon preference and comfort with performing the specific techniques leads to the best patient outcomes. With the low level of evidence referenced, more robust research is needed to evaluate these techniques.

Among many contributions to the world of art and science, Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci created the technique known as sfumato. In this technique, da Vinci considered that the regions to be highlighted should be lit up, while the regions to be hidden should be darkened. Drawing parallel with the face, we can work on the anatomical structures underlying the skin and create a favorable surface anatomy for the entire face, including the nose. However, to achieve the ideal hourglass shape of the nose, the bones must be shaped, and a variety of osteotomies are described and used to achieve this. The new and innovative Fish Bone technique, described in this article, allows for the bony nasal pyramid to be shaped and adapted to the hourglass shape, resulting in a harmonious contour, with smooth transitions and preservation airway.

BACKGROUND: It remains controversial whether prenatal screening or diagnostic testing should be offered to fetuses with nasal bone (NB) absence or hypoplasia, and there are no studies comparing the yield of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) to non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the residual risk of clinically significant copy number variations (CNVs) in fetuses with NB absence or hypoplasia after excluding theoretically NIPS-detectable abnormalities, and to assess their clinical outcomes. METHODS: This prospective study encompassed 400 fetuses with NB absence or hypoplasia undergoing CMA testing between 2015 and 2022. Clinically significant CMA findings were categorized into three subgroups, including three-NIPS-detectable (trisomies 21, 18 and 13), five-NIPS-detectable (trisomies 21, 18 and 13 and sex chromosome aneuploidies) and genome-wide NIPS-detectable (variants over 7 Mb). We calculated the theoretical residual risk and compared it with the results of a control cohort of low-risk pregnancies. We further evaluated their clinical outcomes. RESULTS: The overall diagnostic yield in our cohort was 7.8% (31/400). The detection rate of clinically significant CMA findings in fetuses with non-isolated NB absence or hypoplasia was significantly higher than that in fetuses with isolated NB absence or hypoplasia (20.0% vs. 6.6%, P =.005). The theoretical residual risks in all NIPS models were significantly higher when compared with the control cohort. The normal infant rate in fetuses with normal CMA results was 97.9% (323/330), and a significant higher incidence was observed in fetuses with isolated NB absence or hypoplasia compared with non-isolated NB absence or hypoplasia (98.4% vs. 91.7%, P =.028). CONCLUSIONS: The residual risk of clinically significant CNVs in fetuses with NB absence or hypoplasia following the exclusion of theoretically NIPS-detectable findings was higher than that in low-risk pregnancies. This risk should be considered in genetic counseling to make a more comprehensive and precise choice regarding prenatal genetic testing.

PURPOSE: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the use of imaging in the management of nasal fracture in adults and determine if imaging is beneficial to clinical decision making when planning for surgery. A secondary objective of this study is to compare surgical rates for nasal fracture between pediatric and adult populations. METHODS: This is a retrospective case-control study of 357 patients seen at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center from January 2015 through January 2020 with a diagnosis of nasal fracture. An odds ratio was calculated to determine likelihood of surgical intervention between patients who had imaging of the nasal bones and patients who did not. RESULTS: 82 % of patients had either CT or X-ray imaging. The odds ratio of patients who had surgery after CT or X-ray imaging compared to patients who had surgery without prior imaging was 0.092 (95 % CI: 0.0448-0.1898, p-value <0.0001). A total of 54 (15 %) adult patients had surgery, in comparison to 50 % of pediatric patients with diagnosis of nasal fracture. 202 (57 %) of patients did not follow up after initial diagnosis by radiology. CONCLUSION: The statistical analysis suggests that while CT and X-ray are frequently obtained in the setting of nasal fracture, patients without imaging are more likely to have surgery (p < 0.05) than patients with imaging. This indicates that imaging is likely unnecessary for surgical planning. Most adults do not pursue surgery, and surgical rates for adults with nasal fracture are much lower than those of pediatric patients with nasal fracture.

BACKGROUND: The trend of using navigation systems for treating facial bone fractures is increasing. Nevertheless, any detailed recommendation on using a navigation system to treat nasal bone fracture has never been discussed. Plastic surgeons are prone to do closed reduction of nasal bone fractures with remnant posttraumatic edema in the pediatric population. This study hypothesized that the navigation system benefits this population's treatment of nasal bone fractures. METHODS: The authors evaluated the medical records, plain x-ray, and facial computed tomography scans of 44 pediatric patients (below the age of 18) with nasal bone fractures treated with a closed reduction from May 2021 to December 2022. Preoperative and postoperative computed tomography scan were used to assess the outcome. RESULTS: The average age for 44 pediatric nasal bone fracture patients was 10. Fifteen were female, while males were 29. All cases were successfully corrected clinically and radiologically without noticeable complications. CONCLUSIONS: Using navigation systems to correct nasal bone fractures provides additional benefits for the pediatric population. This technique is especially useful if the fracture is located at the junction between the nasal bone and nasal process of the maxilla and is combined with concurrent old nasal bone fractures.

SummaryA man in 30s had complaints of glabellar and upper nasal swelling for 8 years. It was insidious in onset and gradually progressive causing epiphora and restriction of nasal visual field. Fine-needle aspiration cytology and biopsy revealed features which were suggestive of Kimura's disease (KD). CT scans showed a well-defined subcutaneous swelling in the naso-orbito-ethmoid (NOE) region. KD presents as lymphoglandular swelling; however, NOE region is an uncommon site of occurrence. A thyroid-shaped tumour was excised by H-shaped incision approach to the NOE region.
