Özet
Objectives: During inhalation through the nose, the weakness of lateral cartilage may cause the collapse ofnasal vestibule and sidewall, causing the complaint of difficult breathing through the nose. We aimed to supportthe lateral cartilage with a square edged strut to resolve this problem.Methods: We described a technique in 8 cases (5 males, 3 females). In this technique the lateral cartilage issemi wrapped from the underside to a square edged strut, and arched to outside with an open approachrhinoplasty. As it was only a physical support and did not create a new canting up through the skin, we namedthis maneuver as pseudodome technique.Results: All patients experienced relief of symptoms and no complications observed. The reinforcement effectof the strut was effective in preventing collapse of the nasal alar sidewall as well as did not cause contourirregularities.Conclusions: Pseudodome technique can be performed for acquired or congenital nasal sidewall collapsecaused by lower lateral cartilage structural weaknesses successfully.
