The case reported was an 19-month-old male. He was brought to the emergency department with a chief complaint of stridor and his mother denied any fever, trauma, upper respiratory or gastrointestinal complaints. He was alert, drooling, and became agitated when approached. He was intermittently stridulous, especially when placed supine, although he was not hoarse at rest. His neck was not hyperextended in the “sniffing” position . He had moderate substernal, intercostal, and supraclavicular retractions an nasal flaring. Đn addition, mild expiratory wheezing was appreciated upon auscultation. Examination of the neck revealed some anterior and posterior lymphadenopathy. Both lateral neck radiograph and computed axial tomograpy revealed that the present case has retropharyngeal widening and possible abscess. Based on these findings direct larygoscopy and aspiration was performed and diagnosed as cellulitis. Since the symptoms have improved with intravenous metronidazol and ceftriaxone he was discharged from the hospital.

Scientific publications describing Acoustic rhinometry surgical techniques on the upper and lower lateral cartilages to improve the nasal valve are also quite frequent. Relatively few authors currently describe surgical procedures in the piri- form aperture for nasal valve augmentation. We describe the surgical technique called pyriform plasty and evaluate its effectiveness subjectively through the NOSE questionnaire and objec- tively through the rhinomanometry evaluation. Objective: To compare pre- and post-pyriform plasty nasal airflow variations using rhinomanom- etry and the NOSE questionnaire. Methods: Eight patients submitted to pyriform surgery were studied. These patients were screened in the otorhinolaryngology outpatient clinic among those who complained of nasal obstruction, and who had a positive response to Cottle maneuver. They answered the NOSE questionnaire and were submitted to preoperative rhinomanometry. After 90 days, they were reassessed through the NOSE questionnaire and the postoperative rhinomanometry. The results of these two parameters were compared pre- and postoperatively. Results: Regarding the subjective measure, the NOSE questionnaire, seven patients reported improvement, of which two reported marked improvement, and one patient reported an unchanged obstructive condition.

Minute ventilation as the preferred device for airflow measurement during awake (5.9 Ϯ 0.3 l/min) was higher than that during sleep sleep, because of its higher sensitivity for detection of (5.2 Ϯ 0.3 l/min; P Ͻ 0.0001), but there was no significant airflow limitation (27), is also predicated on the as- difference in minute ventilation between different sleep sumption that airflow during sleep is primarily via the stages (P ϭ 0.44): stage 2 5.3 Ϯ 0.3, slow-wave 5.2 Ϯ 0.2, and nasal route, regardless of sleep stage.
  • Evolution of the Nasal Structure in the Lower Tetrapods

    Evolution of the Nasal Structure in the Lower Tetrapods

    AM. ZOOLOCIST, 7:397-413 (1967). Evolution of the Nasal Structure in the Lower Tetrapods THOMAS S. PARSONS Department of Zoology, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada SYNOPSIS. The gross structure of the nasal cavities and the distribution of the various types of epithelium lining them are described briefly; each living order of amphibians and reptiles possesses a characteristic and distinctive pattern. In most groups there are two sensory areas, one lined by olfactory epithelium with nerve libers leading to the main olfactory bulb and the other by vomeronasal epithelium Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/icb/article/7/3/397/244929 by guest on 04 October 2021 with fibers to the accessory bulb. All amniotes except turtles have the vomeronasal epithelium in a ventromedial outpocketing of the nose, the Jacobson's organ, and have one or more conchae projecting into the nasal cavity from the lateral wall. Although urodeles and turtles possess the simplest nasal structure, it is not possible to show that they are primitive or to define a basic pattern for either amphibians or reptiles; all the living orders are specialized and the nasal anatomy of extinct orders is unknown. Thus it is impossible, at present, to give a convincing picture of the course of nasal evolution in the lower tetrapods. Despite the rather optimistic title of this (1948, squamates), Stebbins (1948, squa- paper, I shall, unfortunately, be able to do mates), Bellairs and Boyd (1950, squa- iittle more than make a few guesses about mates), and Parsons (1959a, reptiles). Most the evolution of the nose. I can and will of the following descriptions are based on mention briefly the major features of the these works, although others, specifically nasal anatomy of the living orders of cited in various places, were also used.
