Diseases of external nose

Conditions affecting the nasal septum

Infections/inflammation of the nose

Tumours of the nose and nasopharynx


Congenital: Cleft lip/ palate, meningocoele, dermoid, hemangioma, etc.

Inflammatory Non-specific: Furuncle, cellulitis

Specific: Rhinoscleroma, TB, syphilis, leprosy, lupus, etc.

Trauma: Facial trauma, surgical trauma

Neoplastic Benign: Papilloma, rhinophyma

Malignant: Basal cell ca, squamous cell ca.


External nasal skeleton is made of various bones and cartilages

Differential growth rate of these components can give rise to deformed nose

Influenced by Fetal position in utero

Birth trauma


Bony/ cartilaginous/ both

Hump

Depressed dorsum- Saddle nose

Lateral deformities Crooked nose- C/ S/ V shaped

Deviated nose

Tip deformities

Alar deformities

‘Frog face’ deformity


Investigations

Radiological: rule out secondary sinusitis

Nasal endoscopy

Preoperative photography

Treatment

Treat associated or secondary rhinitis/ sinusitis

Treat the cause

Surgical treatment: Rhinoplasty/

septorhinoplasty


Acute staphylococcal infection of the hair

follicle commonly seen in the nasal vestibule

Etiology of recurrent furuncle:

Nose picking

Diabetes

Immuno-compromised states


Pain on touching the nose especially the tip/

ala

Pus pointing or swelling over the nose or in

the vestibule

Purulent discharge if it ruptures

Tenderness of the nasal tip/ ala


Not to squeeze the lesion

Dangerous area of the face—infection can spread along the angular and ophthalmic veins to cavernous sinus

Systemic antibiotics and analgesics

I&D if it becomes an abscess

Management of underlying diabetes, if present.


Facial cellulitis

Abscess of the upper lip

Septal abscess

Cavernous venous thrombophlebitis

Vestibular stenosis- in recurrent forms


Diffuse dermatitis of the nasal vestibule

caused by staphlococcus aureus

Etiology:frequent picking of the nose

Clinical features: red ,painful nose.crusts

and scales,fissures

Treatment:clean the crusts,ointment.

7/25/2014Dr. Kavitha Ashok Kumar 19

Thickening and heaped raised lesions of the

tip of the nose due to hypertrophy of the

sebaceous glands

Typically afflicts white males between 40 and

60 years of age (M:F::12:1)

End result of acne rosacea which is actually

more common in females


Medical treatment Treatment of secondary infection and

inflammation with antibiotics and steroids

Surgical: Full thickness excision followed by application

of split thickness skin grafts

Partial thickness "decortication" using cryosurgical techniques, chemical peels, dermabrasion, or Argon/CO2 lasers


Most common malignancy of the skin

commonly affecting the nose

long-term exposure to sunlight and

frequently occur on sun exposed skin, such as

the face, scalp, ears, etc.

> White adult population

> Outdoor workers, sailors and the very fair

skinned.

>50 years and above


Locally slow growing and mutilating lesion

Lymphatic and distant metastasis-uncommon

Early diagnosis- prevents disfigurement of

face

Treatment: Excision and reconstruction

Prognosis- very good on complete removal

Acute bacterial infection of the mucosa of one or more paranasal sinuses, usually rhinogenic in origin and is characterized by acute facial pain/ head ache and purulent nasal discharge.

Anatomical considerations:

Osteo-meatal complex

Depending on the site Unilateral/ bilateral Pansinusitis Multisinusitis Maxillary/ frontal/ ethmoidal/ sphenoidal

Depending on whether the sinus is draining or not Open type Closed type

Depending on the pathology Suppurative Non-suppurative

Rhinogenic- Commonest (85%) Usually after viral rhinitis (Flu)

Any form of rhinitis

Dental (Maxillary)

Root abscess, dental procedure, etc.

Trauma RTA, Swimming and diving, FB, barotrauma,

etc.

Iatrogenic- nasal packing, septal surgery

Hematogenous- Rare

Mucosal odema of MM Any form of rhinitis: Viral, bacterial, Irritant, allergic,

VMR, atrophic, etc. (environmental factors play role)

Mechanical (anatomical) obstruction of nose/ MM DNS, spur, polyp, hypertrophic turbinate, any mass, FB,

nasal packing, etc.

Pathological mucous Thick mucous (mucoviscidosis, cystic fibrosis)

If not responding to medical treatment

Impending or manifest complications

Depends on the sinus involved

Acute maxillary: Antral washout/ endoscopic MMA

Acute frontal: Frontal trephination/ endoscopic frontal recess clearance

Acute ethmoiditis: External ethmoidectomy/ endoscopic ethmoidectomy

Acute sphenoiditis: External sphenoethmoidectomy/ endoscopic sphenoidotomy

Chronic sinusitis

Acute sinusitis or acute exacerbations of chronic sinusitis may give rise to following complications:

Orbital

Intracranial

Osteomyelitis

Septic focus for other infections

Spiking feverLid odema, facial/orbital swellingProptosis, reduced vision, reduced extraoccular movt.Severe headache and hyperirritableProjectile vomitingMeningeal signsHypothermiaAltered sensorium

Common in acute ethmoiditis or frontal sinusitis

Direct spread/ ostitis/ thrombophlebitic Odema of the lidsSubperiosteal abscessOrbitial cellulitisOrbital abscessSuperior orbital fissure syndrome: Deep

orbital pain, frontal headache, progressive paralysis of extraoccular movements

Blindness

A patient with acute ethmoiditis threatening vision.

Anterior cranial fossa and cavernous sinus

closely related

Meningitis

Extradural abscess

Subdural abscess

Frontal lobe abscess

Cavernous sinus thrombophlebitis, etc

•BRAIN, ABSCESS,SINUSITIS

“Acute sinusitis especially in a child should be

treated adequately to prevent consequent

chronic sinusitis or other more severe

complications which may be even fatal”.
