Indolent Wegener's granulomatosis. (26/31)

Classical Wegener's granulomatosis is a relentlessly progressive and rapidly fatal disease. A pulmonary 'limited form' is associated with a much better prognosis. We report 3 cases of Wegener's granulomatosis which ran a prolonged indolent course despite major manifestations outside the lower respiratory tract and review the literature on survival.  (+info)

The 'Pinocchio' nasal deformity due to cavernous lymphangioma. (27/31)

The 'Pinocchio' or 'Cyrano' nose is a rare condition in which deformity of the nasal tip is produced by an underlying soft tissue tumour. Previously reported cases have been due to either capillary or cavernous haemangiomas (angiolipomas). The deformity is the cause of much teasing in children. There has been debate as to whether surgical intervention is indicated, as a proportion of cases will regress spontaneously. We report a case of 'Pinocchio' nose with a lymphangioma of the nasal tip which is previously undescribed and review the options for management.  (+info)

The value of radiographs in the management of the fractured nose. (28/31)

Over a 6-month period a record was kept of all patients presenting to the accident and emergency (A&E) department with nasal injuries. The results of the nasal radiographs were analysed to gauge their benefit. It was found that there was poor correlation between the radiological findings and the presence of external deformity, the latter determining the decision to carry out treatment. Routine radiographs of the nose are unnecessary in patients with nasal trauma.  (+info)

Nasoethmoidal encephalomeningocele demonstrated by cisternography: case report. (29/31)

A mass at the base of the nose, suspected of containing a nasoethmoidal encephalomeningocele, was shown to communicate with the cerebrospinal fluid by cisternography. The diagnosis of encephalomeningocele was confirmed at surgery.  (+info)

Nasal deformities resulting from flow driver continuous positive airway pressure. (30/31)

Over a period of six months, seven cases were documented of trauma to the nose as a result of flow driver continuous positive airway pressure in babies of very low birthweight (VLBW). There was a complication rate of 20% in the babies who required it. Deformities consisted of columella nasi necrosis which can occur within three days, flaring of nostrils which worsens with duration of continuous positive airway pressure, and snubbing of the nose which persists after prolonged continuous positive airway pressure. These complications should be preventable by modifications to the mechanism and method of use.  (+info)

Further studies on the genetic heterogeneity of cebocephaly. (31/31)

The detailed morphological description of 4 cases with cebocephaly, 3 of which were karotyped (one with D trisomy and 2 with normal karyotypes), are presented. Analysis of all cytogenetically studied cases with this malformation reveals that cebocephaly with a normal karyotype may result from more than one mutant gene, and so it may be accompanied by different extracranial abnormalities. On the other hand an absence of visceral malformations does not exclude chromosomal aberrations; thus 18p- syndrome, where cebocephaly is frequent, may have no visceral abnormalities.  (+info)
