Osteocartilaginous flap technique for acquired and congenital saddle nose deformities.

This paper illustrates the objective possible applications of the osteocartilaginous flap technique in solving the functional and aesthetic problems associated with saddle nose deformities, the pathogenesis of which essentially relates to: (1) congenital saddle noses; (2) post-traumatic saddle noses; and (3) saddle noses resulting from previous surgery on the septum. This technique is suggested as an alternative to a combination of other methods (such as septoplasty, bone, or cartilage grafts) to restore the inhalatory function of the internal nasal valve and the integrity of the nasal support structures using locally available tissues. The authors prefer to use this technique in the treatment of serious congenital or acquired saddle nose deformities and to assign composite grafts a supplementary function only. The different stages of this surgical procedure are analyzed and the results are assessed during short- and medium-term follow-up.

Nasal histoplasmosis in the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

Disseminated histoplasmosis is a disease with a high case-fatality rate, especially in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The disease can occur in various sites, such as the lungs, eyes, oral cavity, larynx, nervous system, gastrointestinal tract and, more rarely, the nasal sinus region. It is a cosmopolitan mycosis with a high prevalence in Brazil. Nasal manifestation of the disease is rare, with only three cases reported in the literature, but it is part of the differential diagnosis for other granulomatous diseases, such as Wegener's granulomatosis, tegumentary leishmaniasis and nasal lymphoma. The authors of this study present a literature review and report a case of nasal histoplasmosis in a patient with AIDS. No record of such an aggressive presentation has been reported previously in the literature.

Nasal reconstruction in children: a review of 29 patients.

Acquired large nasal defects are much more common in adulthood than in childhood because of the frequency of skin tumors after a certain age. However, from their experience in treating a number of children with sequelae of noma and burns, the authors have collected a series of 17 total and 12 partial nasal reconstructions in children aged 1 to 15 years. After reviewing the various methods used for recreating the lining, the support, and the skin cover in the whole series, three cases are reported in detail. A 1-year-old patient received a tempororetroauricular flap after total amputation of the nose and was observed for 17 years. Another patient, who was burned as a baby, underwent reconstruction at age 10 with a deltopectoral flap and was observed for 7 years. The third patient underwent total nose reconstruction at age 12 with an Indian forehead flap. From their experience, the authors conclude that, for psychosocial reasons, nasal reconstruction should be started early, despite possible reoperation at a later age. The best results are certainly obtained at the end of growth or at least after the age of 12. Adjacent bone or soft tissue defects further enhance the difficult challenge of restoring a satisfactory aesthetic appearance in these children.

Reconstructive rhinoplasty: the 3-dimensional nasal tip.

OBJECTIVES: To review nasal alar support mechanisms, introduce the concept of tractional forces on the nasal ala, and describe a reconstructive technique to correct nasal tip deformities associated with weakened tractional force on the nasal ala. DESIGN: Photographic study and retrospective medical chart review. RESULTS: We noted that patients with weakened support at the dome of the lower lateral cartilage had lateral alar deformities. Strengthening the cartilaginous deficiency improved the nasal appearance and function in 90% of patients. CONCLUSIONS: Deformities of the nasal tip are among the most difficult to correct. Tractional forces provided by dome strength help to maintain the ala in its normal anatomical position. Structural tip grafts restore the tractional force and, thereby, help to correct the alar deformity.
