A bifid nose (also known as cleft nose) is an uncommon congenital malformation which is characterized by the presence of a cleft between the two nostrils of the nose. [1] It is the result of a disturbance during embryological nose development. [2] It is part of the Tessier classification for craniofacial clefts. [3]
Dropped nasal tip due to resection of the caudal margin; External nasal deformity [7] Incomplete correction with persistent nasal symptoms [7] Nasal septum perforation [7] due to bilateral trauma of the mucoperichondrial flaps opposite each other. Saddle nose due to over-resection of the dorsal wall of the septal cartilage
The transverse nasal crease or groove is a usually white line between the upper two-thirds and the lower third of the human nose (slightly above the cartilage tip between the bridge and nostrils). It can occur as the result of heredity, accident, or the constant rubbing or wiping of the nose, commonly referred to as the allergic salute. [1] [2]
The medial nasal process (nasomedial) on the inner side of each nasal pit merge into the intermaxillary segment and form the upper lip, crest, and tip of the nose. [1] The medial nasal processes merge with the maxillary prominences. The lateral nasal process from each side merge to form the alae of the nose. [1]
Although the disease is easily treatable, in severe cases boils may form inside the nostrils, which can cause cellulitis at the tip of the nose. The condition becomes serious because veins at that region of the face lead to the brain, and if bacteria spreads to the brain via these veins, the person may develop a life-threatening condition called cavernous sinus thrombosis, which is an ...
Seeing how the nose is the most prominent feature on a person’s face since it sits right between one’s eyes, Arbeau reveals it can be a common way for spirits of the deceased, angels, guides ...
The nasal dorsum also known as the nasal ridge is the border between the root and the tip of the nose, which in profile can be variously shaped. [17] The ala of the nose (ala nasi, "wing of the nose"; plural alae) is the lower lateral surface of the external nose, shaped by the alar cartilage and covered in dense connective tissue. [1]
Individuals with this condition may also have fever, general malaise and nasal pain, including tenderness over the dorsum of the nose. A bilateral persistent nasal obstruction may also be present. [citation needed]
