ABSTRACT
Nasal splint application is an important step of septal corrective surgeries to keep the septum in midline after the surgery. Septal clip is most commonly used. In our study we have compared the use of nasal septal clip and Merocel application post surgery and the morbidities associated with it.
ABSTRACT
Laryngeal Cancer refers to cancerous tumor that develops in Larynx, for example, glottis, supraglottic region and subglottis. The purpose of this present study was to investigate the prevalence of Laryngeal Cancer in elderly patients attending a tertiary care centre. A detailed survey was performed to analyze whether Laryngeal Cancer is associated with smoking or alcohol. The study revealed that Laryngeal Cancer is more common in elderly individuals who smoke and drink alcohol. Avoidance of alcohol intake and smoking will be a milestone to reduce the incidence of Laryngeal Cancers and associated mortality.
ABSTRACT
Background: Anterior ethmoidal nerve syndrome is headache resulting from irritation of the terminal branches of the anterior ethmoidal nerve. The headache arises when the septal spur compresses against the middle turbinate or the lateral nasal wall. Here we studied the association of anterior ethmoidal nerve syndrome (Sluder's neuralgia) with nasal septal spur and its management. A prospective observational study carried out on 31 patients Methods: who ful?lled the clinical diagnostic criteria. The patients were treated surgically. The outcomes of surgical treatment Results: were quite promising with 29 patients reporting in improvement in pain after surgery out of the 31 surgeries performed. Conclusion: The diagnosis requires a strong clinical suspicion and appropriate evaluation including nasal endoscopy, scan and anaesthesia of the suspected point of contact
