A case of arteriovenous malformation of the nasal dorsum

Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a vascular malformation with an abnormal capillary shunt between the arterial and venous systems. AVMs can arise anywhere on the body, and are occasionally located in the head and neck. However, AVMs of the nose are considerably rare. Most cases of AVMs of the nose have no symptoms, but some cases show epistaxis and nasal obstruction. Furthermore, a differential diagnosis between hemangioma, lymphangioma, and AVM is important. In cases of AVMs, especially on the face, surgeons should consider cosmetic factors and choose an appropriate plan of treatment. We report the case of a 22-yearold male who presented with an asymptomatic, palpable mass on the nasal dorsum and was successfully treated with transcatheter arterial embolization and sclerotherapy

Aesthetic and functional corrections in case of foot plate deformities in rhinoplasty

The nasal tip is the central component of facial aesthetics and is important in the overall appearance of the nose. Footplates, located at the posterior end of the medial crura, significantly impact the aesthetic outcome of the nasal columella. In our case, a 60-year-old woman with an abnormal nasal shape due to footplate deformity underwent successful correction through rhinoplasty. Successful correction using rhinoplasty highlights its potential benefits in addressing nasal columellar irregularities and their functional aspects
