Classification of congenital nasal deformities: a proposal to amend the existing classification
European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 2017Co-Authors: Marta Fijałkowska, Bogusław AntoszewskiAbstract:Congenital nasal anomalies are rare Malformations with a broad spectrum of defects. The only existing classification strictly relating to nasal anomalies was presented by Losee et al. (Plast Reconstr Surg 113(2):676–689, 2004 ). The aim of this paper is to propose some suggestions, based on our current knowledge and experience gained by treating our patients in the clinic, in creating a specification of patients with congenital nasal anomalies. All patients with congenital Nose defects treated in our health center were selected for this study. The research was retrospective and included years from 1995 to 2015. Nasal anomaly associated with cleft lip and palate was excluded. Patients were classified into four categories of congenital nasal anomalies, according to Losee et al. classification. In the period of 20 years, 191 patients with congenital nasal anomalies were treated in our health center. Type 1 defects were found in 124 patients, type 2 in 15, type 3 in 32 and type 4 in 20 patients. The nasal defect accompanying craniofacial syndrome is the most common type of Nose Malformation. The Nose cleft is not always a part of craniofacial clefts; isolated forms of such Malformations can occur. Vascular anomalies, due to different etiology, categorization and treatment, should not be recognized as nasal Malformation.

Measurement tools for the diagnosis of nasal septal deviation: a systematic review
Journal of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery, 2014Co-Authors: Tehnia Aziz, Vincent L Biron, Kal Ansari, Carlos Flores-mirAbstract:Objective To perform a systematic review of measurement tools utilized for the diagnosis of nasal septal deviation (NSD). Methods Electronic database searches were performed using MEDLINE (from 1966 to second week of August 2013), EMBASE (from 1966 to second week of August 2013), Web of Science (from 1945 to second week of August 2013) and all Evidence Based Medicine Reviews Files (EBMR); Cochrane Database of Systematic Review (CDSR), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CCTR), Cochrane Methodology Register (CMR), Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects (DARE), American College of Physicians Journal Club (ACP Journal Club), Health Technology Assessments (HTA), NHS Economic Evaluation Database (NHSEED) till the second quarter of 2013. The search terms used in database searches were ‘nasal septum’, ‘deviation’, ‘diagnosis’, ‘Nose deformities’ and ‘Nose Malformation’. The studies were reviewed using the updated Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2) tool. Results Online searches resulted in 23 abstracts after removal of duplicates that resulted from overlap of studies between the electronic databases. An additional 15 abstracts were excluded due to lack of relevance. A total of 8 studies were systematically reviewed. Conclusions Diagnostic modalities such as acoustic rhinometry, rhinomanometry and nasal spectral sound analysis may be useful in identifying NSD in anterior region of the nasal cavity, but these tests in isolation are of limited utility. Compared to anterior rhinoscopy, nasal endoscopy, and imaging the above mentioned index tests lack sensitivity and specificity in identifying the presence, location, and severity of NSD.
