The Layered Anatomy of the Nose: An Ultrasound-Based Investigation

Michael G. Alfertshofer et al.

Summary: This study aimed to describe the layered soft tissue arrangement of the nose and its relationship with the underlying arterial vasculature, as well as to identify safer zones for nasal filler enhancement. Through ultrasound imaging, a 5-layer arrangement was observed in the mid-nasal dorsum, while it was absent in the nasal radix and tip. The nasal arteries were mostly located superficially. Understanding the layered anatomy of the nose and the location of blood vessels is crucial for improving the safety of soft tissue filler rhinoplasty procedures.

High-resolution ultrasound of the marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve: Normal appearance and pathological findings in a postsurgical case series

Riccardo Picasso et al.

Summary: This study validated the use of high-resolution ultrasound in mapping the normal marginal mandibular nerve (MMN) and identifying abnormalities postoperatively. The research showed that ultrasound could effectively recognize the MMN and detect pathological changes, as demonstrated in cadaveric studies, healthy volunteers, and patients with MMN abnormalities. High-resolution ultrasound has potential as a valuable diagnostic tool for identifying and monitoring MMN abnormalities.
