ABSTRACT
SUMMARY: Orthognathic surgery and rhinoplasty show synergy in terms of function and aesthetic results. The aim of this research is to analyze variables related to simultaneous orthognathic surgery and rhinoplasty and to discuss the surgical sequence. Male and female subjects between 18 and 45 years old were included in this research. Diagnosis related to nasal morphology (nasal tip bifid, rotate, square and others as well as the alae morphology and columella), facial deformity (sagittal and vertical deformity), type of surgery (rhinoplasty techniques and orthognathic techniques) and complications were included. The minimum follow-up was 12 months; Chi- Square and t test were used to define correlations, considering a value of p<0.05 for statistical significance. Class III facial deformity was observed in 40 % of subjects and class II facial deformity was present in 43 %. For the nasal deformities, the tip and nasal bridge were most prevalent; primary nasal deformity was observed in the 83 % of subjects and was significant more than secondary nasal deformity (p=0.042). Bimaxillary surgery was performed in 31 cases (88 %). In 10 cases a change of the original plan for rhinoplasty due to previous maxillary surgery was realized, mainly in class III facial deformity, with no statistical differences. Revision rhinoplasty was realized in 5 cases (14 %) and was not related to surgical variables; revision for orthognathic surgery was not necessary in this series. Rhinoplasty and orthognathic surgery simultaneously show low complications and predictable results. We can conclude that maxillary mandibular osteotomies and rhinoplasty could be performed safely. However, larger studies are necessary to understand the best choice and variables involved in simultaneous procedures and soft tissue response.
La cirugía ortognática y la rinoplastia muestran sinergia en términos de resultados funcionales y estéticos. EL objetivo de esta investigación es analizar variables relacionadas con la cirugía ortognática y rinoplastia ejecutada de forma simultanea. Fueron incluidos hombres y mujeres entre 18 y 45 años de edad. EL diagnóstico fue en base a la morfología nasal (punta bífida, rotada, cuadrada u otras así como alteraciones del ala nasal y columela), deformidad facial (deformidad sagital y vertical), tipo de cirugía (técnica de rinoplastia y cirugía ortognática) y complicaciones asociadas. El seguimiento mínimo fue de 12 meses; se utilizo las prueba t test y chi cuadrado para definir relaciones estadísticas considerando un valor de p< 0,05 para obtener diferencias significativas. La deformidad clase III fue observada en el 40 % de los sujetos y la deformidad facial de clase II se presento en el 43 %. Para la deformidad nasal, las alteraciones de a punta nasal y nasal fueron mas prevalentes; la deformidad nasal primaria se presentó en el 83 % de los sujetos y fue significativamente mayor que la deformidad nasal secundaria (p=0,042). La cirugía bimaxilar se realizó en 31 casos (88 %); en 10 casos se realizó el cambio del plan quirúrgico inicial de la rinoplastia debido a cambios generados en la cirugía maxilar previa, mayormente en deformidad facial de clase III, sin presentar diferencias significativas. La rinoplastia de revisión fue realizada en 5 casos (14 %) y no fue relacionada con ninguna variable de tipo quirúrgica; la revisión de cirugía ortognática no fue realizada en ningún caso de esta serie. La rinoplastia y la cirugía ortognática simultanea mostraron bajas complicaciones y resultados predecibles. Se puede concluir que la osteotomía maxilo mandibular y la rinoplastia son seguras; sin embargo, estudios de mayor volumen son necesarios para entender la mejor opción y variables relacionadas con procedimientos simultáneos y la respuesta de tejidos blandos faciales.

Los quistes nasolabiales son lesiones quísticas poco frecuentes, que se presentan como ocupación de la fosa canina, el ala nasal o el vestíbulo nasal. Usualmente son asintomáticas, pero pueden infectarse. El diagnóstico se realiza con el examen físico y exámenes imagenológicos, como la tomografía computarizada y/o resonancia magnética. El tratamiento consiste en la extirpación quirúrgica completa por abordaje sublabial, o por marsupialización endoscópica transnasal. Se describen dos casos, uno de ellos es una paciente de sexo femenino que presenta deformidad nasal producto del crecimiento progresivo de un quiste nasolabial unilateral, y otro de un paciente de sexo masculino que presenta una celulitis facial severa, con una tomografía computarizada que muestra quistes nasolabiales bilaterales. Los quistes nasolabiales deben ser considerados como parte del diagnóstico diferencial en otorrinolaringología en cuadros de deformidad nasal y aumento de volumen facial.
Nasolabial cysts are a rare developmental cyst, presenting as a fullness of canine fossa, nasal ala or vestibule of the nose. They are usually asymptomatic but may become infected. The diagnostic approach includes physical examination and imaging studies such as computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging. Treatment is complete surgical excision by sublabial approach, or transnasal endoscopic marsupialization. Here we describe two cases, one female presenting as nasal deformity due to progressive growth of unilateral nasolabial cyst, and a healthy young male presenting severe facial cellulitis, with a computed tomography showing bilateral nasolabial cysts. Nasolabial cyst should be incorporated in the differential diagnosis of nose deformities and facial swelling in otorhinolaryngology.

Hemangioma infantil (HI) é o tumor vascular mais comum e a neoplasia benigna mais frequente da infância, com maior incidência no sexo feminino e na população branca. Quase 60% dos casos ocorrem em cabeça e pescoço, sendo o tratamento ativo durante a fase proliferativa mais frequentemente indicado, em decorrência dos possíveis problemas funcionais e do potencial desfigurante. Relatamos um caso de paciente com hemangioma infantil involuído de ponta nasal e lábio superior, tratado de forma expectante durante a infância, submetida à correção da deformidade residual com técnicas de rinoplastia, associado à zetaplastia e lipoenxertia do lábio superior com bom resultado e satisfação do paciente.
Infantile hemangioma (IH) is the most common vascular tumor and the most frequent benign neoplasm in childhood, with the highest incidence in females and the white population. Almost 60% of cases occur in the head and neck, and active treatment during the proliferative phase is the most frequently indicated, due to possible functional problems and disfiguring potential. We report a case of a patient with involute infantile hemangioma of the nasal tip and upper lip, treated expectantly during childhood, submitted to residual deformity correction with rhinoplasty techniques, associated with zetaplasty and upper lip grafting with good results and patient satisfaction.

INTRODUÇÃO: Rinofima é uma condição estigmatizante para o indivíduo portador. Descrita desde a época de Hipócrates, a doença, popularmente conhecida como nariz de alcoólatra ou elefantíase nasal, é responsável por gerar uma enorme deformidade no nariz. Oriunda de um processo de hiperplasia e hipertrofia das glândulas sebáceas da região cutânea nasal, associadas à fibrose e dilatação dos vasos sanguíneos e tecido conjuntivo locais. O tratamento cirúrgico é considerado o procedimento de escolha para melhoria estética. MÉTODOS: Estudo retrospectivo baseado na análise dos resultados de 11 pacientes, sendo dez homens e uma mulher, submetidos a tratamento do rinofima entre janeiro de 2010 e janeiro de 2016 no serviço de Cirurgia Plástica do Hospital Universitário da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora e Clínica Plastic Center. RESULTADOS: Dos 11 pacientes operados, um homem de 72 anos apresentou carcinoma basocelular invasor expansivo com margens cirúrgicas comprometidas após análise anatomopatológica da peça cirúrgica, obtendo resultado anatomopatológico de margens livres após reoperação. Outros três pacientes apresentaram hipercromia na região de intervenção durante o pós-operatório imediato, mas obtiveram resultados satisfatórios 6 meses após procedimento. CONCLUSÕES: Apesar dos avanços tecnológicos atuais, a retirada da lesão com bisturi frio e aplicação dos curativos pós-operatórios ainda demonstram ser altamente eficazes quando associadas, proporcionando excelentes resultados estéticos, com baixos índices de complicação e altos índices de satisfação dos pacientes, que em sua maioria obtiveram melhora da qualidade de vida após o procedimento.
INTRODUCTION: The rhinophyma is an extremely stigmatizing condition for a patient. The first descriptions of this disease dates back to the time of Hippocrates, which was popular known as alcoholic nose or nasal elephantiasis is responsible for generating a huge deformity in the nose. This deformity derives from a process of hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the sebaceous glands in nasal skin associated with fibrosis and dilated local blood vessels and connective tissue. Surgery is considered the treatment of choice for aesthetic improvement of the injury. METHODS: This was a retrospective study based on analysis of results from 11 patients (10 men and 1 woman) who underwent treatment for rhinophyma between January 2010 to January 2016 at the Plastic Surgery Service of the Teaching Hospital of Federal University of Juiz de Fora and Clinical Plastic Center. RESULTS: Of 11 patients who underwent surgery, a 72-year-old man had basal expansive invasive carcinoma with positive surgical margins after pathological examination of the surgical specimen, however, the patient had pathological free margins after reoperation. Other 3 patients had hypercromy in the intervention region during the immediate postoperative. CONCLUSION: Despite technological advances, the removal of the injury with a cold scalpel technique and the use of postoperative dressings are highly efficient, when combined, provide excellent aesthetic results with low complication rates and high rates of patients' satisfaction, whom mostly had improvement in quality of life after the procedure.

Introdução: Rinofima é uma inflamação crônica dos tecidos do nariz, caracterizada por hipertrofia e hiperplasia progressivas das glândulas sebáceas e do tecido conjuntivo. Determina um aspecto de elefantíase nasal, secundária à congestão dos vasos da derme. Sua etiologia está associada, na maioria dos casos, ao uso abusivo de álcool. É considerada por alguns autores como sendo um estágio avançado de acne rosácea. O artigo tem como objetivo relatar um caso de rinofima, tratado cirurgicamente no Serviço de Cirurgia Plástica do Hospital Universitário da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina com decorticação e eletrocoagulação. Método: Foi realizado revisão de prontuário e registro fotográfico de um caso de rinofima. Resultados: Paciente foi submetido a tratamento cirúrgico com evolução favorável. Conclusão: Existem diversos tratamentos para rinofima, sendo que a decorticação e a eletrocoagulação constituem uma excelente opção terapêutica.
Introduction: Rhinophyma is a condition involving chronic inflammation of the nose and is characterized by progressive hypertrophy and hyperplasia of sebaceous glands and connective tissue. Rhinophyma leads to an appearance of nasal elephantiasis, which is caused by the congestion of dermis vessels. Its etiology is mostly associated with alcohol abuse. Rhinophyma is considered by some researchers to be an advanced stage of acne rosacea. Here, we report a case of rhinophyma that was surgically treated with decortication and electrocoagulation at the Plastic Surgery Service of the University Hospital of the Federal University of Santa Catarina. Methods: A review of medical and photographic records of a case of rhinophyma was conducted. Results: The patient was underwent surgical treatment with favorable outcomes. Conclusion: There are several treatments for rhinophyma, with decortication and electrocoagulation being an excellent therapeutic option.

Los trastornos metabólicos ocasionados por la insuficiencia renal y la diálisis para su tratamiento pueden conducir a la precipitación de sales de fosfato cálcico con la consecuente formación de tumores en diversas localizaciones. Estos pueden ser únicos o múltiples, pudiendo ocasionar obstrucción y compresión de distintas estructuras anatómicas con la consecuente alteración funcional. Si bien el manejo clínico de las alteraciones antes citadas es fundamental, la cirugía adquiere relevancia en estas situaciones. Se presenta un caso de Calcinosis Tumoral única ubicada en el tercio anterior del septum nasal, ocasionando obstrucción de la fosa nasal. La tomografía computada orientó el diagnóstico y la resección tumoral completa por vía nasal fue el tratamiento elegido. El informe de anatomía patológica confirma el diagnóstico de Calcinosis Tumoral. A los nueve meses de seguimiento en el postoperatorio no se evidencia recidiva.
Metabolic disorders caused by chronic renal failure and dialysis for its treatment can lead to the precipitation of calcium phosphate salts with the consequent formation of tumors in various locations. These can be single or multiple, and may cause obstruction and compression of different anatomical structures with consequent functional alteration. Although the clinical management of the above mentioned alterations is fundamental, the surgery acquires relevance in these situations. We present a case of unique tumoral calcinosis located in the anterior third of the nasal septum, causing obstruction of the nasal fossa. Computed tomography guided diagnosis and complete tumor resection by nasal route was the treatment chosen. The pathological anatomy report confirms the diagnosis of tumor calcinosis. At nine months post-operative follow-up there was no evidence of tumor recurrence.

The nasopalatine duct cyst (NPDC) is the most common non-odontogenic cyst typically found in middle-aged Caucasian female in Brazil, however the present report describes a case in a 35 year-old black male. NPDC are usually asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally during routine radiological examination. A cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a valuable tool to localize a cyst within the nasopalatine canal. CBCT enables analysis of the dimension of the NPDC, analysis of the involvement of neighboring anatomical structures and assists in treatment planning. The authors at this case highlight the importance of clinical examination with an unbiased view of age, gender and ethnicity.
O cisto do ducto nasopalatino (CDNP) é o mais comum dos cistos não-odontogênicos geralmente encontrado em mulheres brancas de meia idade no Brasil, embora o presente relato descreva um caso em um homem negro de 35 anos de idade. Os CDNP são usualmente assintomáticos e são descobertos acidentalmente durante o exame radiográfico de rotina. A tomografia computadorizada por feixe cônico(TCFC) é uma ferramenta válida para localizar o cisto dentro do canal nasopalatino. A TCFC permite análise da dimensão do CDNP, análise do envolvimento das estruturas anatômicas vizinhas e auxilia no planejamento do tratamento. Os autores neste caso alertam para a importância do exame clinico, com uma visão embasada na idade, gênero e grupo étnico.

Introducción: El estudio histopatológico de muestras obtenidas mediante cirugía endoscópica nasosinusal (CENS) es rutinaria en muchos centros hospitalarios, sin embargo, los reportes de sus resultados y el análisis de su real utilidad clínica son escasos en la literatura publicada. Objetivos: Describir y analizar el estudio de la anatomía patológica obtenida mediante CENS y conocer la correlación entre el diagnóstico clínico y la histopatología. Material y método: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo retrospectivo mediante revisión de fichas clínicas y recolección de datos anatomopatológicos, intervenciones por CENS en el Hospital Clínico Universidad de Chile. Resultados: El mayor porcentaje de los resultados histopatológicos fueron diferentes formas de rinosinusutis crónica (RSC) representando 65,67 por ciento (RSC simple, alérgica, poliposa alérgica y no alérgica). Entre los hallazgos con menor frecuencia destacan: papiloma invertido (4,9(0) por ciento), pólipo antrocoanal (9,31(0) por ciento), rinosinusitis fúngica no invasiva (2,45(0) por ciento) y 7 casos de patología maligna. Con respecto a la correlación clínica e histopatológica, se encontró para RSC una concordancia del 92,15 por ciento, para RSC poliposa del 95,94 por ciento y en pólipos antrocoanales 85,71 por ciento. Conclusiones: La mayoría de los resultados obtenidos fueron distintas formas de inflamación crónica de la mucosa nasosinusal. Se encontró una fuerte correlación entre el diagnóstico clínico y la histopatología, sin embargo, la aparición no excepcional de patología maligna inclina la conducta hacia el uso rutinario de solicitud de biopsia.
Introduction: Histopathological examination of samples obtained by endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is routine in many hospitals, however, results reports and effective analysis of its clinical utility are scarce in the literature. Aim: To describe and analyze the pathological study in ESS. Furthermore, recognize the correlation between histopathology and clinical diagnosis. Material and method: A cross-sectional study by reviewing medical records and collecting data from ESS interventions in the University of Chile Clinical Hospital was performed. Results: Most of the diagnoses were different forms of chronic rinosinusutis (CRS), representing 65.67 percent(simple, allergic and polypoid). Among the most common are unusual findings: inverted papilloma (4.9 percent), antrochoanal polyp (9.31 percent), fungal non-invasive rhinosinusitis (2.45 percent) and 7 cases of malignancy. Clinical and histopathologic correlation found for CRS was 92.15 percent 95.94 percent in nasal polyposis and 85.71percent in antrochoanal polyps. Conclusions: Most of the results were different forms of chronic inflammation of the sinus mucosa. A strong correlation between clinical diagnosis and histopathology was found, however, the onset of not exceptional malignant disease suggest the routine use of biopsy.

Introducción: La mayoría de las perforaciones septales suelen ser asintomáticas, aunque algunas pueden presentar una rinitis costrosa, obstrucción nasal, epistaxis recidivante o sibilancias nasales. Su origen es sobre todo iatrogénico o idiopático, pero también podemos encontrar otras causas. Los botones septales constituyen una solución útil por la sencillez de su colocación, siendo de elección en pacientes que no deseen una intervención quirúrgica más compleja. Objetivo: Conocer las características de las perforaciones septales, además de, realizar un estudio sobre los resultados obtenidos en la cirugía de botón septal y el nivel de satisfacción obtenido por los pacientes tras esta intervención. Material y método: Análisis retrospectivo de 22 pacientes intervenidos quirúrgicamente de colocación de botón septal entre enero de 2008 a agosto 2010 en el Hospital Clínico Universitario Lozano Blesa de Zaragoza. El análisis incluye un estudio sobre la etiología, tamaño y sintomatologia de dichas perforaciones candidatas a la utilización del botón septal. Además del análisis de la presencia o ausencia de complicaciones tras la cirugía, la evolución y la mejoría o empeoramiento posoperatorio, en cuanto a los cinco síntomas principales; obstrucción nasal, las sibilancias, las costras endonasales con sequedad, la epistaxis y la rinorrea con tres posibles respuestas; igual, mejor o peor. En el consultorio y a los tres meses de la intervención, se realiza una encuesta con una escala analógica visual (EVA), en la que el paciente realiza una puntuación subjetiva del 1 al 10 para valorar su nivel de satisfacción tras la colocación del obturador Por último se le pregunta si volvería a ponérselo. Los resultados no fueron analizados con pruebas estadísticas dado el pequeño tamaño muestral. Resultados: Nuestros pacientes han presentado una importante mejoría en síntomas como la obstrucción nasal...
Introduction: Most of the septal perforations are usually asymptomatic, although some may have a crusty rhinitis, nasal obstruction, recurrent epistaxis or nasal wheeze. Its origin is mostly iatrogenic or idiopathic but can also find other causes. Septal buttons are a useful solution for the simplicity of their placement, being of choice in patients who do not want surgery more complex. Aim: Knowing the characteristics of septal perforations, in addition, a study on the results of septal button surgery and the level of satisfaction obtained by patients after the intervention. Material and method: Retrospective analysis of 22 patients with surgical septal button surgical placement between January 2008 to August 2010 at the Hospital Clinico Universitario Lozano Blesa from Zaragoza. The analysis includes a study on the etiology, symptoms of such size and drilling candidates for the use of septal button. Besides the analysis of the presence or absence of complications after surgery, and postoperative improvement or worsening in the five main symptoms, stuffy, nose, wheezing, endonasal crust with dryness, epistaxis and rhinorrhea with three possible answers, same, better or worse. Three months after surgery in the office is conducting a survey with a visual analogue scale (VAS), in which the patient makes a subjective score of 1 to 10 to assess their level of satisfaction after the placement of the shutter. Finally asked if he would wear it. The results were analyzed with statistical tests given the small sample size. Results: Our patients have experienced a significant improvement in symptoms such as nasal obstruction and wheezing. Nasal dryness has been with worse clinical outcomes after placement of the button. Subjectively 77.2(0) percent of patients would put him back. Conclusions: The septal buttons are a therapeutic tool to keep in mind for the closure of septal perforations with good results in patients unsuitable for surgical correction.

Vários materiais são propostos para reconstrução nasal, não havendo consenso sobre qual o melhor. A manta de celulose produzida por bactéria pode ser mais um elemento para adição cartilaginosa. Não há estudos deste material no dorso nasal. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a resposta tecidual à presença da celulose bacteriana no dorso nasal de coelhos. MATERIAL E MÉTODO: Foram utilizados 22 coelhos Nova Zelândia, sendo que em 20 deles foi implantada a manta de celulose no dorso nasal e em 2 controles nada foi feito. Foram acompanhados por um período de três e seis meses, sendo então retirados as regiões do dorso nasal e narinas dos coelhos e realizado estudo histopatológico levando em consideração parâmetros definidos de condição inflamatória como congestão vascular, intensidade do processo inflamatório e presença de exsudato purulento. RESULTADOS: O processo inflamatório manteve-se estável, demonstrando sua relação com o procedimento cirúrgico, e não com a presença da manta de celulose. Nos demais parâmetros estudados não houve diferença estatisticamente significante. CONCLUSÃO: A manta de celulose de Acetobacter xylinum mostrou boa biocompatibilidade e manteve-se estável no decorrer do tempo de estudo, podendo ser considerada um bom material para uso na elevação do dorso nasal.
Several materials have been proposed for nasal reconstruction. There is no consensus on which is the best. The cellulose blanket produced by bacteria may be a possible cartilaginous addition element to the nose. AIM: to study tissue reaction to cellulose in the dorsal nose of rabbits. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 22 New Zealand rabbits were used. In 20 a cellulose blanket was implanted in the nasal dorsum and 2 served as controls. They were followed up through a period of three and six months, after which their nostrils and nasal dorsums were removed and histological studies were carried out on them, considering defined parameters of inflammation such as vascular congestion, intensity of the inflammatory process and presence of purulent exudate. RESULTS: The inflammatory process remained stable, showing its relationship with the surgical procedure and not with the presence of the cellulose blanket. There were no statistical differences in the other parameters. CONCLUSION: The cellulose blanket produced by Acetobacter xylinum presented good biocompatibility, remained stable during the entire study period, and could be considered a good material for elevating the nasal dorsum.

O cisto nasolabial é um cisto não odontogênico raro que se desenvolve na região inferior da asa nasal, com patogênese ainda incerta. Esta lesão, que possui crescimento lento e dimensões variáveis (1,5-3cm), caracteriza-se clinicamente por uma tumefação flutuante na região do sulco nasolabial ao redor da asa do nariz, causando uma elevação do lábio superior. Seu diagnóstico pode ser feito basicamente pelo quadro clínico e, se necessário, complementando-se com exames auxiliares por imagens. O presente trabalho relata o caso de uma paciente do sexo feminino de 48 anos, que se queixava da presença de uma massa consistente na região da asa esquerda do nariz e cujas características clínicas eram compatíveis com cisto nasolabial. As imagens de TC demonstraram uma formação expansiva com densidade de tecido mole, localizadas na região nasal esquerda medindo cerca de 1,2cm de diâmetro e apresentando contornos nítidos e bem definidos e densidade homogenia ao redor de 50 UH. Já as imagens de RM mostraram uma lesão de aspecto circular localizada em tecido mole, apresentando hiperintensidade nas imagens ponderadas em T1, T2 e no recurso de supressão da gordura, sendo a hipótese diagnóstico de cisto nasolabial, confirmado pelo exame histopatológico depois da cirurgia.
The nasolabial cyst is an uncommon non-odontogenic cyst that develops in the lower region of the nasal ala; its pathogenesis is uncertain. This lesion grows slowly and measures between 1.5 and 3 cm; it is characterized clinically by a floating tumefaction in the nasolabial sulcus, which elevates the upper lip. The diagnosis is based on the clinical findings and, if necessary, image exams. This paper reports a case of a white 48-year-old Brazilian female patient that presented a firm tumor in the left ala of the nose; the clinical features suggested a nasolabial cyst. CT scans revealed an expanding tumor with soft tissue density located in the left ala of the nose. It measured 1.2 cm in diameter and had a clear and well-defined outline; its homogeneous density was about 50 HU. MR images revealed a circular lesion located in soft tissue; T1 and T2 weighted signals were hyperintense, as were images after fat suppression. The diagnosis was a nasolabial cyst, which was confirmed by histopathology after surgery.

Cisto nasolabial é uma lesão rara, localizado próximo à cartilagem alar nasal e que se estende para o meato nasal inferior e sulco gengivo-labial superior. OBJETIVO: Apresentamos uma casuística de cisto nasolabial, com o objetivo de discutir a apresentação clínica, o diagnóstico e as técnicas cirúrgicas mais adequadas no tratamento desta doença. MATERIAL E MÉTODO: Estudo retrospectivo de oito pacientes com diagnóstico de cisto nasolabial, no período de janeiro/2000 a dezembro/2006. O diagnóstico foi sugerido por exame otorrinolaringológico e tomografia computadorizada (TC). Os pacientes foram submetidos a tratamento cirúrgico (enucleação) e o diagnóstico confirmado por exame histopatológico. RESULTADOS: Os sintomas predominantes foram: obstrução nasal, aumento de volume restrito ao vestíbulo nasal e dor à palpação local. O tempo médio de evolução dos sintomas foi de 26,2 meses. A TC evidenciou lesão cística, bem delimitada, com remodelação óssea em alguns casos. O tamanho médio do cisto foi de 2,18 cm. O seguimento médio no pós-operatório foi de 19,5 meses, sem recorrência da lesão. CONCLUSÃO: Os cistos nasolabiais são lesões pouco freqüentes. A maioria apresenta-se com aumento de volume bem localizado, dor local e obstrução nasal. Enucleação é o tratamento de escolha com baixos índices de recorrência.
Nasolabial cyst is a rare lesion situated behind the ala nasi, extending backwards into the inferior nasal meatus and forward into the labio-gingival sulcus. AIM: We present our case of a nasolabial cyst, with the purpose of discussing clinical presentation, diagnosis and the more suitable surgical techniques to treat this disorder. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective study of eight patients with diagnosis of nasolabial cyst, carried out in the period of january/2000 to december/2006. The diagnosis was suggested by otorhinolaryngology exam and computer tomography. All patients were submitted to surgical treatment (enucleation) and definitive diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology. RESULTS: Predominant symptoms were nasal obstruction, swelling in the nasal vestibule region and local pain. Patients had had symptoms for a median of 26.2 months. CT scan was performed in all patients, showing a well outlined cystic lesion with bone remodeling in some cases. Median sizes of the cysts were 2.18cm. There was no evidence of recurrence during a mean follow-up of 19.5 months. CONCLUSION: Nasolabial cysts are rare lesions. Common presentation is a well-confined swelling, local pain and nasal obstruction. Enucleation is the treatment of choice with low recurrence rate.

PURPOSE: Numerous methods have been utilized to repair nasal septal perforation with varying degrees of success; however, no consensus has been reached on nasoseptal perforation repair. Here, the authors describe a surgical method based on human dermal allograft (Surederm(TM), Hans Biomed Corp. Korea) for the repair of nasal septal perforations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eleven patients with a nasal septal perforation were included in this study. The causes of these septal perforations included previous nasal surgery, trauma, foreign body (button battery), and idiopathy. There were several sites of perforation: 9 in the central area, 1 in the posterior-central area, and 1 in the anterior area. An interpositional graft incorporating Surederm(TM) was positioned between bilateral mucoperichondrial flaps using an intranasal approach. A silastic sheet was then left in the nasal septum bilaterally until complete healing had occurred through new nasal mucosa, which took a mean duration of 6 weeks. RESULTS: Outcomes in ten of the eleven patients were successful, with complete septal perforation closure. The remaining perforation, which was caused by a button battery, closed incompletely; however, its initial size of 2cm was reduced to 5mm. CONCLUSION: The described technique has a high success rate and can be performed under local anesthesia without external scarring. In the absence of donor site morbidity, this technique can also be utilized to repair posterior or multiple septal perforations without difficulty.

La displasia osteofibrosa es una patología ósea benigna e idiopática, poco frecuente en cabeza y cuello. Afecta principalmente el hueso maxilar mientras en fosa nasal su frecuencia es baja. Habitualmente aslntomática, puede ser agresiva por crecimiento local y eventual malignización. El tratamiento es quirúrgico cuando produce alteraciones en la estética facial, síntomas compresivos orbitarios, rinosinusales, vasculares, nerviosos o ante sospecha de malignización. Se presenta un caso de un paciente con obstrucción nasal persistente, en cuya evaluación se diagnostica un tumor óseo de cornete inferior, que es extirpado mediante técnica endoscópica, con resultado satisfactorio. El estudio histopatológico confirmó el diagnóstico de displasia osteofibrosa. Se discuten los problemas diagnósticos y terapéuticos, destacando la importancia del examen físico y el diagnóstico oportuno, pudiendo tratarse endoscópicamente sin inconvenientes cuando son pequeños.

A alergia a látex vem se tornando mais frequente à medida que seu uso se torna maior. Há associação de reações cruzadas com certas frutas e vegetais. As reações ao látex podem se manifestar com uma simples irritação química local, mas podem provocar broncoespasmo, hipotensão, taquicardia e anafilaxia. Descreve- se o caso de uma paciente que não tinha conhecimento de sua alergia ao látex até apresentar reação anafilática imediata após o uso de tamponamento nasal com dedo de luva de látex, ao final da microcirurgia nasossinusal. O diagnóstico foi confirmado por testes cutâneos e dosagem de IgE específica para látex por Radio Allergo Sorbent Test (RAST). A importância deste relato refere-se à freqüente utilização de produtos à base de látex pelos profissionais de saúde e pelo uso regular de tamponamento nasal com dedo de luvas em pacientes otorrinolaringológicos.
The increased use of latex goods has made latex allergy more usual, stimulated by cross-reactivity associated with certain fruits and vegetables. Reactions to latex range from just a chemical irritation to bronchospasm, hypotension, tachycardia, and anaphylaxis. A female patient didn't know of her latex allergy until the immediate anaphylactic reaction to the use of latex glove-finger nasal tampon at the end of a naso-sinusal microsurgery. Diagnosis was confirmed by skin tests and serum testing for latex-specific IgE (RAST). It is important to be aware of the possibility of such allergic reaction since latex goods is frequently used in glove-finger nasal tampon in otolaryngologic patients.
