In the 7 year period (1991-1998), 118,834 consultations were made of which 33,273 have ENT problems. Most frequently seen are upper respiratory infection and its complication: otitis, the morbidity is higher and May and October (rainy season) and lower at dry season.

There have been so many methods described for the correction of the deviated noses but it is difficult to get satisfactory results and recurrence rate is high. There is no exact explanation why the recurrences are so high and no estabished guides for techniques according to the surgical pathology. We found the classical swinging door technique effective in cases where the caudal septum deviated from the midline. However, where the caudal septum and the tip stay in the midline, scoring or submucosal resection do not work well enough to cortet them. We used the reverse swinging door technique of our own. After elevation of mucoperichonodrium, we did sagittal section in the posterior septum and moved the septum to the midline on the pivot point of the caudal septum and. The gap created in the posterior portion of the septum were filed with bone grafts, cartilage grafts or Medopor, which were sutured to the septum, We did this technique with or without osteotmies in 56 deviated noses for last 5 years. The results were very satisfactory and there was no complication.

Congenital median dermoid is an uncommon disease. Surgery is the main curative treatment. To review a clinical case and to summarise the characteristics and treatment experience of this disease, referring to the related literature, it is expected that we can provide more clinical thought and therapeutic method for congenital median dermoid fistula of nasal dorsum.

OBJECTIVE: To seek pathological features, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis of Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma arising in the nasal cavity. METHOD: One case of Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma arising in the nasal cavity was analyzed retrospectively and studied with immunohistochemical Staining and light microscopy, as well as review of the literature. RESULT: The clinical feature of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma in the nasal cavity was atypical and diagnosis relied on pathologic features. Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma consisted of myoepithelial and epithelial cells. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated that cytokeratin P, cytokeratin L, S-100 protein, a-smooth muscle actin expressed positively. CONCLUSION Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma in the nasal cavity is a rare neoplasm. Wide surgical excision with a clear margin is the main therapy,and these tumors have the potential for metastasis and recurrence.
