Nasal bridge is the bony part of the nose, overlying the nasal bones, above the part in blue labeled "Cartilage of Septum". The bridge is between the eyes, and just below them. The lower half of the nose is below the bridge. The nasal bridge is the upper, bony part of the nose, which overlies the nasal bones.
Saddle nose is a condition associated with nasal trauma, congenital syphilis, relapsing polychondritis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis, cocaine abuse, and leprosy, among other conditions. [1] The most common cause is nasal trauma.
Also any condition that causes significant depression of the nasal bridge or midface retraction can be associated with choanal atresia. Examples include the craniosynostosis syndromes such as Crouzon syndrome, Pfeiffer syndrome, Treacher Collins syndrome, Apert syndrome, and Antley-Bixler syndrome. [1]
The glabella, in humans, is the area of skin between the eyebrows and above the nose. The term also refers to the underlying bone that is slightly depressed, and joins the two brow ridges. It is a cephalometric landmark that is just superior to the nasion. [1]
Binder's syndrome, Binder syndrome or maxillo-nasal dysplasia is a developmental disorder primarily affecting the anterior part of the maxilla and nasal complex (nose and jaw). It is a rare disorder and the causes are unclear. The characteristics of the syndrome are typically visible.
The nasion (/ ˈ n eɪ z i ɒ n /) is the most anterior point of the frontonasal suture that joins the nasal part of the frontal bone and the nasal bones.It marks the midpoint at the intersection of the frontonasal suture with the internasal suture joining the nasal bones. [1]
When the bridge of the nose is collapsed, rib-cartilage, ear-cartilage, or cranial-bone grafts can be used to restore its anatomic integrity, and thus the aesthetic continuity of the nose. For augmenting the nasal dorsum, autologous cartilage and bone grafts are preferred to (artificial) nose prostheses , because of the reduced incidence of ...
Empty nose syndrome (ENS) is a clinical syndrome, the hallmark symptom of which is a sensation of suffocation despite a clear airway. This syndrome is often referred to as a form of secondary atrophic rhinitis .
