abstract：BACKGROUND:B-cell responses may play a role in the pathogenesis of nasal polyposis via local IgA and IgE production and activation of eosinophils and mast cells. B-cell attracting chemokines may therefore have relevance in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNPs) Methods: Polyp and inferio...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Defects in the fontanel region of the lateral nasal wall have been described in the literature as "accessory" or "secondary" ostia. The authors consider them a sign of chronic maxillary sinusitis. Along with mucus recirculation between the natural ostium and the fontanel defect, we call it the Two Holes Synd...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Although not so common, septoplasty carries the risk of inducing nasal deformity such as saddle nose and deviated nose. Surgical correction for those deformities is a formidable task to deal with, because the septal cartilage framework was already weakened due to previous procedure. This study was designed t...
