an important consideration in
the treatment larger soft-tissue
defects
www.indiandentalacademy.com
7. Knowing the various
components of the bony facial
skeleton and their

12. Air-filled cavities that
communicate with the
nasal cavities
All but the sphenoid sinus are
present as outpunching of the
mucosa during embryonic life,
but except for the ethmoid air
cells, they do not develop into
bony cavities until after birth.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
13. Medial:
Lateral nasal wall
Superior:
Orbital floor
Posterior:
Pterygopalatine fossa
Inferior:
Alveolar ridge ( root of
second premolar and first
molar)
www.indiandentalacademy.com
26. Various organ systems are involved in the production of voice and speech:
Glottis,
Supraglottic vocal tract,
Central nervous system
must be coordinated in order to produce a normal voice sound
Hyponasal speech (rhinophonia clausa) : occurs when these segments
contribute less to sound production as a result of partial or complete nasal
obstruction or mass lesions in the nasopharynx
Hypernasal speech (rhinophonia aperta): develops when the nasopharynx
and nasal cavities over contribute to sound production.
cleft palate, velar palsy due to various causes
www.indiandentalacademy.com
27. The human olfactory system consists of
1. Intranasal olfactory mucosa
2. Primary olfactory center
3. Secondary olfactory center
4. Tertiary olfactory center
The precise sequence of events that are involved in olfaction is still
uncertain.

describe their complaints “in their own
words,”
www.indiandentalacademy.com
31. Nasal obstruction
Discharge
Epistaxis
Specific allergy history
Headaches
Olfactory dysfunction
Facial pressure or pain
www.indiandentalacademy.com
35. Palpation
Useful for detecting bony discontinuities
In patients with suspected neuralgias
www.indiandentalacademy.com
36. To evaluate the nasal vestibule
and the anterior portions of the
nasal cavity
www.indiandentalacademy.com
37. Posterior rhinoscopy was formerly done to evaluate
the nasopharynx and posterior nasal cavity
(choanae, posterior ends of the turbinates, posterior
margin of the vomer)
Endoscopy is commonly used to examine this region
www.indiandentalacademy.com
38. Nasal endoscopy has become the
most important and rewarding
clinical examination method in
rhinologic diagnosis
www.indiandentalacademy.com
39. First the examiner advances the
endoscope into the nasopharynx
and inspects:
Eustachian tube orifice
Torus tubarius
Posterior pharyngeal wall
Roof of the nasopharynx
www.indiandentalacademy.com
40. Nasal endoscopy is particularly
useful for evaluating the
ostiomeatal unit
www.indiandentalacademy.com
42. Nasal Patency:
Hold a reflective metal plate under the nose
Holding a wisp of cotton in front of each
nostril
Active anterior rhinomanometry
Acoustic rhinometry
www.indiandentalacademy.com
43. Skin Tests
The total immunoglobulin E (IgE) assay
Nasal provocation test
www.indiandentalacademy.com
44. The total immunoglobulin E (IgE) assay
www.indiandentalacademy.com
45. Several types of test substance are used:
1. Pure odorants that stimulate only the olfactory nerve (coffee, cocoa,
vanilla, cinnamon, lavender)
2. Odorants with a trigeminal component (menthol, acetic acid, formalin)
3. Substances that also have a taste component (chloroform, pyridine).
Patients with a complete loss of smell (anosmia) cannot perceive pure
odorants but can at least sense or taste the other substances.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
46. Objective olfactory testing is far more costly
and is generally performed only at large
centers
www.indiandentalacademy.com
51. If there is a high index of suspicion for
sphenoid sinus involvement, a lateral sinus
projection should be added to the study
The craniocaudal extent of the frontal and
maxillary sinuses can also be evaluated with
this technique
www.indiandentalacademy.com
52. Indications
An occasional malformation,
The main indications for CT scanning of the
nose and paranasal sinuses are
1. Chronic sinusitis
2. Trauma (especially frontobasal fractures)
3. Tumors
www.indiandentalacademy.com
57. The strength of MRI
lies in its superior
soft-tissue
discrimination
www.indiandentalacademy.com
58. Disorders that involve the paranasal sinuses in
addition to the cranial cavity or orbit (e.g., tumors
and congenital malformations such as
encephaloceles)
It can also supply information that is useful in
differentiating soft-tissue lesions within the
paranasal sinuses (mucocele, cyst, polyp)
It can distinguish between solid tumor tissue and
inflammatory perifocal reaction
www.indiandentalacademy.com
59. Patients with electrically controlled devices
such as a cardiac pacemaker, insulin pump,
cytostatic pump, or cochlear implant.
Modern internal fixation materials such as
titanium are usually nonmagnetic and
therefore MRI-compatible
www.indiandentalacademy.com
60. The paranasal sinuses can also be visualized
with ultrasound.
The sphenoid sinus is inaccessible to
ultrasound imaging because of its location.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
63. It is a locally aggressive tumor, and transformation
to squamous cell carcinoma is periodically described
Symptoms and diagnosis:
Nasal airway obstruction, headache, and occasional
epistaxis.
The lesion often has a polyp-like appearance when inspected
by nasal endoscopy
Treatment:
The treatment of choice is surgical removal
www.indiandentalacademy.com
64. Benign bone tumors that may occur as isolated
masses, especially in the ethmoid cells and frontal
sinus
Symptoms and diagnosis:
Often they do not become symptomatic until they obstruct
drainage tracts to or from the paranasal sinuses, leading
secondarily to headaches and recurrent bouts of sinusitis
Treatment:
As soon as an osteoma becomes symptomatic, it should be
surgically removed
www.indiandentalacademy.com
65. Malignant tumors of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are far
more common than benign masses.
Histologically, the great majority (> 80%) are tumors of the epithelial
series (e.g., squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, adenoid
cystic carcinoma).
Neoplasms of mesenchymal origin, such as osteosarcomas and
chondrosarcomas, as well as malignant lymphomas are much less
common.
Metastases from other malignancies are occasionally found, with the
primary tumor residing in the kidney, lung, breast, testis, or thyroid
gland.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
66. The main sites of predilection are the nasal
cavity and maxillary sinus, followed by the
ethmoid cells, frontal sinus, and sphenoid
sinus.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
67. Because many tumors originate in the
paranasal sinuses themselves, they often do
not produce clinical manifestations until they
have reached an advanced stage
www.indiandentalacademy.com
68. Obstructed nasal breathing
Bloody rhinorrhea
Fetid nasal odor
Swelling of the buccal soft tissues
Swelling at the medial canthus
Headache, facial pain, and
Hypoesthesia or numbness of the cheek
Orbital infiltration can lead to displacement of the orbital
contents, diplopia, or proptosis
Trismous
Epiphorea
Dental loosening
www.indiandentalacademy.com
70. The clinical examination includes
Endoscopic inspection of the nasal cavity
Search for regional lymph-node metastases by bimanual
palpation of the cervical soft tissues.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
71. Since sinus tumors are apt to invade the nasal cavity
secondarily, endoscopy alone may provide little
information on the extent of the mass. For this reason,
computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance
imaging should always be performed
www.indiandentalacademy.com
74. is individualized according to the histology and extent of
the malignant tumor, and the treatment plan should be
coordinated with the radiotherapist and medical
oncologist.
Since the great majority of lesions are squamous cell
carcinomas, however, the treatment of choice will usually
consist of surgery and postoperative radiation
www.indiandentalacademy.com
75. Since only about 20% of sinonasal malignancies
metastasize to regional lymph nodes, a neck dissection is
necessary only in patients who have clinically positive
cervical nodes
Many of these cases will require postoperative
radiotherapy
www.indiandentalacademy.com
76. Is a rare neurogenic malignancy that arises from the
sensory cells of the olfactory region and generally occurs
in adults
Advanced, the tumor causes obstructed nasal breathing,
recurrent epistaxis, and particularly hyposmia or anosmia.
Some of these tumors become symptomatic only after
invading the cranial cavity or orbit, causing headache or
visual deterioration
www.indiandentalacademy.com
77. is based on endoscopy and
especially computed tomography or
magnetic resonance imaging; only
these modalities can accurately
define the tumor extent
www.indiandentalacademy.com
78. Based on a combination of tumor resection and
postoperative radiotherapy
www.indiandentalacademy.com
79. 1. Name five more common sinonasal
symptoms.
2. How you check the nasal patency?
3. What imaging modality is the best for
sinonasal evaluation?
4. Name the common symptoms and signs
of sinonasal tumor.
5. Which tumor is specific for the nasal
cavity?
www.indiandentalacademy.com
80. Malformations of the Nose, Paranasal Sinuses,
and Face
www.indiandentalacademy.com
81. Malformations involving the nose may be
caused by developmental abnormalities of
the nasal floor, palate, nasal roof, and
intranasal region
www.indiandentalacademy.com
82. Incidence of one in 5000 to one in 10,000 births.
More often unilateral than bilateral.
The atresia is bony in 90% of cases and membranous in only 10%.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
83. Bilateral choanal atresia is an acutely life
threatening emergency because the neonate,
except when crying, is an obligate nasal breather
until about the sixth week of life.
Cyanosis that is present at rest and improves with
exertion is called paradoxical cyanosis because of
its opposite pattern relative to cyanosis with a
cardiac cause
www.indiandentalacademy.com
84. Unilateral choanal atresia may be manifested by a
purulent nasal discharge on the affected side.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
85. Choanal atresia may be associated with various
other anomalies:
CHARGE syndrome (coloboma; heart disease; atresia
of the choanae; retarded growth, development and/or
central nervous system anomalies; genital hyperplasia;
ear anomalies or deafness).
www.indiandentalacademy.com
86. The clinical suspicion of choanal
atresia can be confirmed by
examination with a rigid or flexible
endoscope
www.indiandentalacademy.com
87. The acute care of choanal atresia in asphyxia consists of
intubation followed by perforation of the atresia plate
The definitive surgical repair of bilateral choanal atresia is
performed during the first weeks or months of life.
Surgery for unilateral atresia can be postponed until
school age, when the anatomy of the region is more
similar to that encountered in adults
www.indiandentalacademy.com
88. Incidence of dysraphias involving the anterior
skull base is approximately one in 20,000 to one in
40,000 births
www.indiandentalacademy.com
90. A dorsal nasal fistula consists of a fistulous tract
that is lined by keratinized squamous epithelium
and forms a tiny opening on the dorsum or tip of
the nose
www.indiandentalacademy.com
91. Fistulas that terminate blindly are usually
manifested clinically at an older age due to
inflammation around the fistulous opening.
If the fistula communicates with the
subarachnoid space, it can lead to severe
complications such as cerebrospinal fluid leakage,
meningitis, or brain abscess
www.indiandentalacademy.com
92. The diagnosis is established by computed
tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.
Diagnostic catheterization or contrast injection is
contraindicated due to the risk of intracranial
complications.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
93. Treatment consists of complete removal
of the fistulous tract
www.indiandentalacademy.com
94. Cephaloceles are herniations of intracranial
contents through a bony defect in the skull
www.indiandentalacademy.com
95. Most cephaloceles are congenital, but rare cases
are post-traumatic
www.indiandentalacademy.com
96. Sincipital cephaloceles are located near the
glabella, forehead or orbit.
Basal cephaloceles are found mainly in the nasal
cavity or nasopharynx.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
97. Most are manifested
clinically during
childhood.
The sincipital forms
appear as:
a pulsating mass near
the glabella, often
associated with a
broad nasal dorsum
and hypertelorism
www.indiandentalacademy.com
98. Basal forms present as :
an intranasal mass, typically with associated
nasal airway obstruction.
They closely resemble intranasal polyps and
should be considered in the differential diagnosis
of children with suspected nasal polyps, which are
rare in this age group
www.indiandentalacademy.com
99. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI)
www.indiandentalacademy.com
100. Always surgical and consists of removing the
cephalocele and repairing the dural defect
