The removal of nasal foreign bodies (NFBs) can be a difficult task for the inexperienced physician, and more unsuccessful attempts are made, extraction becomes. We have formulated this simple "four-step" approach to improve success, especially on first try.A retrospective review cases requiring NFB removal, seen by one registrar from 2012 2016 at Frankston Hospital, was performed.From 2016, 93 patients were referred, whom 65 confirmed NFBs. In all, 20 had removed successfully. Another 28...

We predicted Friedman would be a poor predictor for technique new prognostic index required. Methodology Adult OSA underwent combined MODIFIED BRP CCT (n = 40) prospective, 2-centre cohort...
Background: Congenital Lamina Papyracea Dehiscence (LPD) is a described anatomical variant, knowledge of which important to avoid misdiagnosis orbital fractures, indentify this variant prior sinonasal instrumentation including Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) and improve interpretation when evaluating sinus pathologies such as infection tumour infiltration. We aim quantify the prevalence LPD in children presenting for Computerized Tomography Scan (CT) paranasal sinuses. Methods:...
