To better elucidate the aetiologies, symptomatology, and surgical repair outcomes for nasal septal perforations in the paediatric population./r/nSystematic review and meta-analysis./r/nThe PubMed, Embase and Web of Science libraries were queried using the terms "nasal septum," "perforation," and […]

Isolated medial wall fractures are far less common than floor fractures. Uncommon but rather serious, are patients who present with adduction or abduction deficit following medial wall fractures./r/nWe present a case with medial wall fracture and medial rectus entrapment. The patient presented with […]

This systematic review and meta-analysis builds upon our previous publication on the outcomes of patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) treated with Oslo protocols (OP; vomerplasty during lip closure vs delayed hard palate closure protocols (DHPCP), comparing the outcomes of these two […]

One type of traumatic injury to which young people especially are vulnerable is tooth avulsion, which may occur as a result of sports activities, automobile accidents, or other mishaps. This article describes a case of a 17-year-old female who suffered an avulsion of her maxillary right central […]

Ectodermal dysplasia is a genetic condition characterised by atypical development of organs derived from the embryonic ectoderm, such as teeth, nails, hair and sweat glands./r/nThe most prevalent oral manifestation is hypodontia, which involves the absence of some or all primary and permanent […]

Skeletal Class III malocclusion in adolescents can be effectively managed using the combination of maxillary skeletal expander (MSE) and facemask (FM). An adolescent presented concerns about her lower front teeth positioned ahead of the upper front teeth, difficulty closing the lips, and […]

MRI-visible brain perivascular spaces (PVSs) represent an imaging feature of cerebral small vessel disease that is associated with hypertension, diabetes, and poor sleep quality and correlated with cognitive impairment and dementia. Although research shows that sleep apnea and sleep disruption are […]

Snorkels are sometimes used by competitive swimmers in inspiratory muscle training and to correct body imbalance. Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) manifests as inspiratory dyspnea during exercise. Patients with EILO are recommended against inspiratory muscle training with high […]

Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare systemic inflammatory disorder characterized by fever, rash, arthritis, and pharyngitis. Ear, nose, and throat (ENT) complications beyond pharyngitis are uncommon./r/nA 31-year-old female presented with fever, sore throat, maculopapular rash, and […]

Ameloblastoma (AB) are aggressive odontogenic tumors, often treated with wide marginal resection and concurrent reconstruction. Extended total temporomandibular joint replacement (eTMJR) prosthesis is a viable treatment option for reconstruction of large defects caused by resection of AB tumors. […]

Secondary deformities following primary cleft lip repair require varying degrees of surgical intervention, from minor scar revision to complete takedown and repair. Revision surgery can itself necessitate multiple interventions, representing a considerable burden for both patients and the health […]

Tubeless microlaryngoscopy optimises surgical access but typically relies on total intravenous anaesthesia, commonly using propofol and remifentanil infusions. We present a difficult airway case where an unrecognised drug error during programming of an infusion pump resulted in unexpected apnoea. […]

To evaluate the safety profile of using tutoplast-processed fascia lata (TPFL) as a graft material in patients undergoing both primary and revision rhinoplasty./r/nPubMed, CENTRAL, Scopus, Web of Science, and EMBASE were searched. Eligible studies were evaluated for bias using the National […]

Distraction osteogenesis has been the preferred treatment modality for patients with hemifacial microsomia. Although an immediate improvement in facial asymmetry is noted at the completion of the procedure, long-term data regarding postdistraction stability is rare. In this study, a ≥12-year […]

Evidence suggests as many as 40% of adults with cancer turn to marijuana—more properly known as cannabis—to manage symptoms like pain, nausea and anxiety, and many want guidance from their physicians. Yet a new national study led by investigators at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) […]

Immunotherapies are undoubtedly transforming the landscape of cancer treatment worldwide. By harnessing the body's immune system to fight disease, they can achieve outcomes in advanced cancers that are impossible with conventional methods. However, these revolutionary therapies don't work equally […]

Alveolar fractures are a common type of maxillofacial trauma, and the conventional treatment involves closed reduction and dental splinting fixation. However, closed treatment is not suitable for some complex segmental alveolar fractures. In this case report, we introduce an innovative method for […]

Augmentation rhinoplasty using alloplastic materials is a relatively standard procedure in Asian patients. Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) is one of the commonly used alloplastic materials because it has a high biocompatibility and is easy to handle. Recently, a patient who had previously […]

External nasal deformity is common and can be treated surgically. It often occurs in conjunction with the development of the nasal septal cartilage, vomer, and vertical plate of the ethmoid bone but may be caused by trauma.
