The vomeronasal organ of Jacobson and its implications in nasal pathology and surgery
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of ENT - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Ludvig Jacobson published a scientific work in Danish in 1813, entitled "Anatomical description of a new organ in the nose of domesticated animals" but Kolliker can be considered the discoverer of the vomeronasal organ in humans. Potiquet described in 1891 the possibility of locating and identifying the Jacobson channel in the living man and hypothesized its possible role in the pathogenesis of some nasal septum lesions. The purpose of this study is to recognize the presence of vomeronasalorgan in Italian patients and to discuss the importance of this anatomical structure in nasal pathology and nasal surgery by providing guidelines for a surgical respectful of this important anatomical structure.
