Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To assess short-term tomographic changes in the upper airway dimensions and quality of life of mouth breathers after rapid maxillary expansion (RME). METHODS: A total of 25 mouth breathers with maxillary atresia and a mean age of 10.5 years old were assessed by means of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and a standardized quality of life questionnaire answered by patients' parents/legal guardians before and immediately after rapid maxillary expansion. RESULTS: Rapid maxillary expansion resulted in similar and significant expansion in the width of anterior (2.8 mm, p < 0.001) a

Abstract:

Inflammatory diseases of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are identified as the leading cause of upper respiratory disorders. Nose breathing is of crucial importance to provide the entry for air to get into the respiratory system. In addition to oxygen saturation, nose breathing provides the exchange of air in the paranasal sinuses. This process is required to maintain normal microflora of the nasal cavity. In contrast, mouth breathing occurring during the inflammatory diseases of the nasal cavity is associated with discomfort and poor health-related quality of life and results in inflam

Abstract:

Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is a unique disease with increasing interest for many physicians due to its unusual etiology, histology, and epidemiology. The recent era of fiberoptic endoscopy now provides the clinician with better tools for the screening, diagnosis, staging, and follow-up of NPC. The use of high resolution flexible and rigid nasopharyngoscopy gives the physician an opportunity for a more sensitive examination in a higher proportion of patients. Ultimately, this will allow for earlier diagnosis of NPC, and improved prognosis and better quality of life for the patients with this d

Abstract:

Recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma represents an extremely challenging therapeutic situation. Given the vulnerability of the already pretreated neurological structures surrounding the nasopharynx, any potential salvage retreatment option bears a significant risk of severe complications that result in high treatment-related morbidity, quality of life deterioration, and even mortality. Yet, with careful patient selection, long-term survival may be achieved after local retreatment in a subgroup of patients with local or regional relapse of nasopharyngeal cancer.

Abstract The pterygopalatine fossa is an inverted pyramid-shaped space of the viscerocranium, protected by bony structures.

Abstract:

High-dose radiation therapy is the treatment of choice for nasopharyngeal cancer, and clinical outcomes have improved in recent decades. A certain proportion of patients, however, suffer from post-radiation nasopharyngeal necrosis (PRNN). Patients with PRNN complain of headache, foul odor, or symptoms of cranial nerve palsies. Clinically, intracranial infection or bleeding from carotid artery damage may lead to sudden death or severe deterioration in quality of life. Although the prognosis of PRNN was poor, endoscopic debridement with local vascularized flap recently showed favorable outcomes,

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a rare and distinct malignancy that arises from the epithelium of the nasopharynx. It accounts almost 1 % of all pediatric malignancies. Oral complications of radiotherapy in the head and neck region are the result of the deleterious effects of radiation on salivary glands, oral mucosa, bone, dentition, masticatory musculature, and temporomandibular joints. Here we present 3 male NPC patients 13, 14 and 15 years old. One of them had stage III and the others stage IV diseases.

Abstract:

We report an unusual case (never described) of a false aneurysm of the maxillary artery following irradiation and biopsy that ruptured into the nasopharynx in an 34-year-old man who presented with severe epistaxis 15 months after radiation therapy of the nasopharynx (80 Gy). Angiography revealed a fusiform aneurysm of the second portion of the maxillary artery, which was successfully embolized but the patient died from a pseudomonas septicemia three months later. False aneurysms of the maxillary artery following irradiation are exceptional complications. Despite a successful endovascular treat

Abstract:

Epidermoid tumours are non-neoplastic inclusion cysts representing up to 1.1 per cent of all intracranial tumours, typically presenting with symptoms related to pressure or intracranial rupture in the fourth or fifth decade of life. The authors present a case of a parasellar epidermoid cyst which has ruptured in to the nasopharynx; to the best of their knowledge, this has not been previously reported. The computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are presented. The pathology and radiological features of epidermoid tumours are discussed, particularly in relation to extracran

Abstract:

Latar Belakang: Karsinoma nasofaring (KNF) merupakan keganasan yang tersering ditemukan, dan berdampak pada penurunan kualitas hidup serta memiliki mortalitas tinggi. Penanganan KNF selama ini terkendala oleh waktu tunggu yang cukup lama dalam menentukan staging KNF terutama untuk antrian pemeriksaan computed tomography scan (CT scan) dan Ultrasonography (USG). Pemeriksaan kadar DNA EBV (Deoxyribonucleic acid Epstein-Barr Virus) pada pasien yang relatif lebih mudah dan terjangkau dapat digunakan untuk memprediksi stadium dan prognosis KNF. Dengan mengetahui prognosis KNF lebih dini, maka dihar

Abstract:

BACKGROUND A variety of non - neoplastic and neoplastic conditions involve the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses and nasopharynx and these are very common lesions encountered in clinical practice. Histopathological examination of these lesions is the gold standard for diagnosis because management and prognosis vary among different lesions. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the histopathological study of the lesions of the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses and nasopharynx in relation to their incidence, age, gender and site wise distribution and to compare the results with the available

Abstract:

Background. Angiofibroma is a benign tumor, consisting of fibrous tissue with varying degrees of vascularity, characterized by proliferation of stellate and spindle cells around the blood vessels. It most commonly arises from the nasopharynx, although it may rarely arise in extranasopharyngeal sites. Case Report. A 46-year-old male presented with left side nasal obstruction and epistaxis for one month. Clinical nasal examination revealed left sided polypoidal mass arising from the vestibular region of the lateral nasal wall. Results. CT scan and MRI showed highly vascular soft tissue mass occu

Abstract:

With the swift development of technology, the distance among people’s hearts surprisingly becomes further and further. Residents living in the congested cities feel more lonely than those who inhabit countryside. The mass media makes them consider ever ything at hand stereotyped. They parrot their designated work again and again, without passion or enthusiasm. Hence facing these social predicaments and interior struggle, Robert M.

Abstract:

Metropolitan Anthony was frequently invited to speak by medical institutions, particularly by those caring for terminally ill or dying. In his talk he approaches the notion of the quality of life from an unexpected angle. He suggests that the quality of life is inseparable from the notions of human dignity, the aim and the purpose of life. Metropolitan Anthony compares the condition of a terminally ill patient with the situation of people who — often willingly — survive or die in other extreme conditions.
