“…According to the nasal septal traction model, the nasal septal cartilage acts as a growth plate (Scott, 1953;Baume, 1961;Catala & Johnston, 1980;Copray, 1986;Wealthall & Herring, 2006) placing tension on the premaxillary suture via the septopremaxillary ligament, thus inducing an osteogenic response (Latham, 1970;Gange & Johnston, 1974;Mooney & Siegel, 1986Mooney et al 1989;Siegel et al 1990). The importance of the nasal septal cartilage as a growth center intrinsic to the facial skeleton is well established, as surgical resection of all or part of the nasal septum in a variety of animal models results in a deficiency in the anteroposterior dimensions of maxilla and premaxilla (Wexler & Sarnat, 1961;Sarnat & Wexler, 1966, 1967Ohyama, 1969;Riesenfeld, 1970;Latham et al 1975;Friede & Morgan, 1976;Friede, 1978;Wada et al 1980;Rhys-Evans & Brain, 1981;Siegel & Sadler, 1981;Squier et al 1985). Similarly, experimentally induced maxillary growth reduction results in both normal nasal septal growth and compensatory elongation of the premaxilla (Holton et al 2011a).…”

As a component of the chondrocranium, the nasal septum influences the anteroposterior dimensions of the facial skeleton. The role of the septum as a facial growth center, however, has been studied primarily in longsnouted mammals, and its precise influence on human facial growth is not as well understood. Whereas the nasal septum may be important in the anterior growth of the human facial skeleton early in ontogeny, the high incidence of nasal septal deviation in humans suggests the septum's influence on human facial length is limited to the early phases of facial growth. Nevertheless, the nasal septum follows a growth trajectory similar to the facial skeleton and, as such, its prolonged period of growth may influence other aspects of facial development. Using computed tomography scans of living human subjects (n = 70), the goal of the present study is to assess the morphological relationship between the nasal septum and facial skeleton in European-and African-derived populations, which have been shown to exhibit early developmental differences in the nasal septal-premaxillary complex. First we assessed whether there is population variation in the size of the nasal septum in European-and African-derived samples. This included an evaluation of septal deviation and the spatial constraints that influence variation in this condition. Next, we assessed the relationship between nasal septal size and craniofacial shape using multivariate regression techniques. Our results indicate that there is significant population variation in septal size and magnitude of septal deviation, both of which are greater in the European-derived sample. While septal deviation suggests a disjunction between the nasal septum and other components of the facial skeleton, we nevertheless found a significant relationship between the size of the nasal septum and craniofacial shape, which appears to largely be a response to the need to accommodate variation in nasal septal size.

“…The clinical evidence on both sides is incomplete and attempts have been made to elucidate the problem by animal experimentation. A recent study by Rhys-Evans and Brain (1981) has shown that, when a variety of surgical operations were performed on the nasal septum in young rabbits, a marked retardation of growth in the nose and upper jaw often resulted, along with gross orthodontic abnormalities.…”
