Abstract
|
|
|
Empty nose syndrome is an iatrogenic disorder most often recognized for the presence of paradoxic nasal obstruction
despite of an objectively wide and patent nasal cavity. It is associated with tissue loss and a paucity of normal anatomic structure in the nasal cavity. It is known to be a potentially devastating complication of nasal surgery. Inferior turbinate resection is common cause, though middle turbinate resection is also associated with empty nose syndrome. Because it can be debilitating in severe forms, recognition and understanding of this disease is important. We report a 45-year-old woman with empty nose syndrome after previous both radical inferior turbinectomy. We treated the patient by submucoperichondrial implanting of acellular dermis under general anesthesia. The patient was followed up without any complication.
