Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the nasal bone and bony nasal pyramid in adult Anatolian people. Method: A total of 80 patients (48 males, 32 females, mean age of 40.03 years) were all evaluated using CT. Upper, intermediate and inferior thickness of the nasal bone on each side and on the lateral and medial osteotomy line were measured. In addition, nasal bone length and pyriform aperture width were determined.
Conclusion:The dimensions of the nasal pyramid are known to be important in the selection of appropriate osteotome. Our results can be used for pre-operative evaluation of Anatolian people undergoing nasal surgery.
