Arhinia
Conditions
Brief summary
A 7-year-old arhinia patient receives nasal reconstruction with nasal cavity reconstruction and is aided with the application of a 3D-printed nasal stent to prevent nasal cavity constriction.
Detailed description
After reconstruction of a nasal cavity in the maxilla by burring using a navigation system, the patient required a nasal stent to prevent stenosis. However there was no conventional stent available. A 3D-printed silicone nasal stent was custom made for the cavity and inserted.
Interventions
OTHERCustomized 3D-printed nasal stent
Silicone stent with unconventional shape, 3D-printed based on patient's computed topographical images, to exactly fit newly made nasal cavity.
