Effect of osteotomies during rhinoplasty on intraocular pressure
Conclusions: Although osteotomes during rhinoplasty caused variations in the IOP compartment, the changes in IOP were not statistically significant. Therefore, rhinoplasty should be a safe surgical procedure with respect to ocular physiological function, however monitoring IOP peri-operatively is advised. To our best knowledge, this is the first clinical trial to determine the effect of rhinoplasty with osteotomy on intraocular pressure.

Assessing palatal mobility in post-tonsillectomy patients
Conclusion: Poor palatal mobility may be caused by malpractice of tonsillectomy or it may be a sign that was present and missed by the otolaryngologist. Pre-tonsillectomy evaluation of palatal mobility should be done by nasofiberoptic endoscope and/or videofluoroscopy. Also post-tonsillectomy evaluation of palatal mobility should be taken in consideration if adenoidectomy is needed to prevent possible postoperative open nasality.

Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia of the mandible and bony nasal septum with intracranial expansion
We report a rare case of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia of the mandible and the ethmoid bone including nasal bony septum with intracranial expansion, and include a review of the literature. The tumour was successfully resected using a combined transnasal and craniotomy approach. Fibrous dysplasia is a rare benign tumour in the head and neck region, which often limits its growth during the follow-up period. Careful monitoring of the patient is necessary because in some rare cases there can be severe symptoms due to the growth of the tumour, which are indications of immediate surgery in the head and neck region.
