The lateral rhinotomy signifies only an incision and not on operation and a lateral rhinotomy incision with osteotomy of the nasal bones provides access to the entire nasal cavity and maxillary, ethmoid, and sphenoid sinuses as well as the frontal sinus if the floor is removed, permitting removal of benign lesions at these sites and en bloc resection of the ethmoid labyrinth and the party wall between the nasal cavity and antrum with infiltrating tumors. The authors treated a tumor patient and a midfacial bone fracture patient via lateral rhinotomy approach and had a good result. So we report the cases with literature review.

A 39 kg, 7-year-old male Labrador Retriever dog with a 3-month history of epistaxis, sneezing, and nasal discharge was referred to the Veterinary Medical Center of the Tokyo University. On the plain X-ray and computed tomography (CT) of the head showed increased density of the soft tissue in the left nasal cavity and the tumor infiltrated to nasal septum. The tumor mass removed by rhinotomy. Histopathological examination of the mass revealed adenocarcinoma. Four weeks after the surgery, the radiation therapy was performed twice a week for f weeks. 4 months after surgery, the dog had a recurrence in nasal cavity and administered carboplatin 300 mg/$m^2$ twice. However, the tumor had no response to chemotherapy, additional surgery and additional radiation therapy, and the dog was euthanized at the owner's request. At necropsy, metastatic proliferation was confirmed in the lung, lymph nodes and nasal cavity.

Background: Lateral rhinotomy and medial maxillectomy, an en bloc resection of the medial maxillary sinus, ethmoid sinus with the lamina papyracea, medial orbital floor, and lacrimal fossa-duct, have been advocated for lateral nasal wall neoplasms as a standard approach method. Objective: This report was conducted to investigate the clinical efficacy of lateral rhinotomy and medial maxillectomy for lateral nasal wall neoplasms. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 31 patients who were treated at department of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, Catholic university of Korea, school of medicine between 1990 and 1996. Results: Twenty five patients had benign lesions(80.6%). By far, the largest percentage was inverted papillomas(80%, 20/25). Of the six malignant lesions(19.4%), 33.3%(2/6) was squamous cell carcinoma and other lesions were metastatic renal cell carcinoma, adecarcinoma, transitional cell cacinoma, and hemangiopericytoma. There were a 4% recurrence for benign tumors(1/25), 5% especially for inverted papilloma(1/20), and 50% for malignant neoplasms(3/6). The overall complication rate was 9.7%. Conclusion: Despite the various approach for treatment of lateral nasal wall neoplasms including inverted papilloma, we continue to advocate a lateral rhinotomy and medial maxillectomy as the treatment of choice.

5 year-old female Siberian husky which was 27 kg had presented with a recurrent rhinitis with chronic discharge and cough. A nasal foreign material had been suggested by a finding of a bone density ($0.3{\times}0.3$ cm) in the left nasal cavity on X-ray and CT-scanning. Soft tissue opacity in frontal sinus and nasal cavity was increased and foreign material was located beside turbinate bone in the left nasal. We found that there was the increase in the number of eosinophil and mast cell by the nasal cytology test. These results mentioned above indicated that the rhinitis by nasal foreign body was suspicious. We decided that the transfrontal rhinotomy could be the proper procedure to approach the material in this case. After rhinotomy, the foreign body and severe sticky discharge were removed. Drain was placed through the hole and into the frontal sinus and nasal cavity which were flushed two times a day for 7 days. The clinical signs such as cough and nasal discharge were shown to be improved in the every visiting for the re-check. On the $40^{th}$ day after surgery, we could confirm that the most of soft tissue density in the frontal sinus and nasal cavity was decreased by CT-scanning. However, foreign body was not identified by histological examination. For the treatment of chronic rhinitis caused by foreign body, the surgical method such as rhinotomy can be applied, when it is difficult to remove it in the guide of the nasal endoscope.

저자들은 1977년부터 1986년까지 10년동안 서울대학병원 이비인후과에서 유년기성 비인강 혈관섬유종의 진단하에 치료받았던 27명의 환자에 대해 임상적 조사를 시행하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 남녀비율은 전례에서 남성이었으며 연령은 9세∼22세의 분포를 보였고 16∼17세가 가장 많았다. 2) 주증상으로는 전례에서 비출혈을 동반하는 비폐색증을 보였으며 편측인 례가 7례였다. 3) 종양의 크기는 21례에서 비인강 및 비강내에 국한되어 있었고, 4례에서 익상상악와, 2례에서 두개내 침습을 보였다. 4) 종양의 혈액공급은 동측의 내상악동맥에서 이루어지는 경우가 27례, 동측의 상행인두동맥이 13례, 양측에서 이루어지는 경우가 9례 있었다. 5) 치료는 23례에서 수술적 요법을, 4례에서 방사선치료를 시행하였다. 수술적 요법 23례중 11례 에서 경반구개제거술(hemipalatal approach), 8례에서 경전구개제거술(transpalatal appoach), 2례에서 경전구개 및 경상악동제거술(transantral approach), 2례에서 외비절제술(lateral rhinotomy approach)에 의해서 종양을 적출하였다.

부비동 점액낭종은 주로 전두동과 사골동에 발생하며 점차 커져서 인접 기관에 영향을 미치기도 한다. 저자들은 1985년 1월부터 1991년 3월까지 충남대학교병원 이비인후과에서 부비동 점액낭종으로 수술받았던 15예를 대상으로 임상분석을 실시하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 성별은 남자 6예 여자 9예였고, 연령은 17세에서 79세까지였으며 50대에서 5예로 가장 많았다. 병변부위로는 사골동에 국한된 경우가 7예로 가장 많았고, 전두동과 사골동을 동시에 침범한 경우가 4예, 전두동에 국한된 경우가 2예, 사골동과 접형동을 침범한 경우가 1례였다. 안증상은 11예에서 있었으며 그중 안구돌출이 7예로 가장 많았고, 시력감퇴 6예, 안구운동장애 4예 등이었다. 5예에서 두개저 파괴로 인한 경막의 노출이 있었다. 치료는 사골동 비외수술법이 7예로 가장 많았고, Lynch operation 4예, 골성형 전두동수술 2예, Lateral rhinotomy를 통한 배액 1예, Midfacial degloving approach를 통한 배액이 1예였다.
