Diseases of the nose and throat . by Walsham, one blade of which is to be applied within and theother outside the nostril. In some cases there is a good deal of thick-ening at the prominence of the angle, a result of the original injury,which may be shaved down by a guarded electric burr introducedthrough the nostril, the skin having first been dissected from the hardparts. Or it may be more comfortably removed by external incision,provided the patient is willing to wear the trifling scar that mayfollow such a wound. In most cases cosmetic effects are consideredless important than restoration
Diseases of the nose and throat . by Walsham, one blade of which is to be applied within and theother outside the nostril. In some cases there is a good deal of thick-ening at the prominence of the angle, a result of the original injury,which may be shaved down by a guarded electric burr introducedthrough the nostril, the skin having first been dissected from the hardparts. Or it may be more comfortably removed by external incision,provided the patient is willing to wear the trifling scar that mayfollow such a wound. In most cases cosmetic effects are consideredless important than restoration of breathing space, yet by the exer-cise of a little care and ingenuity much may be done to remedy theseunsightly distortions. ECCHONDROSIS AND EXOSTOSIS OF THE SEPTUM. Ridges or spurs of the nasal septum may consist of cartilage or ofbone. In the former case they are called ecchondroses, in the latterexostoses. They may exist quite independently of deflection of theseptum. Exostoses are met with generally far back in the region.
