Repair of saddle nose deformity in Wegener's granulomatosis and ectodermal dysplasia

W Pirsig et al. Rhinology. 1993 Jun.

Abstract

Two cases are reported involving surgical treatment of a saddle nose deformity due to Wegener's granulomatosis and ectodermal dysplasia, respectively. The association of ozena with both diseases requires special consideration for any type of transplants because of a high risk of infectious complications. By extranasal incisions the nasal dorsum has been successfully reconstructed by transplanting autogenic conchal cartilage. There has been no resorption or displacement of the transplant after twelve months in the case of ectodermal dysplasia, and after 25 months in the patient with Wegener's granulomatosis despite a severe recurrence of this disease.
