“…[4][5][6][7] In a radiologic study, the average total width of the SB was measured as 9.3 mm (SD ¼ 1.7) and contralateral to the deviation side, the SB was found to be more prominent 13 and was found smaller in women than in men. 14 In the current study, the total width of the SB was measured as 8.3 AE 2.5 mm (minimum-maximum 4.2-16 mm) and the SB was found to be larger on the contralateral side to the septal deviation as in the previously cited study.…”

“…4 The SB has been reported to be a component of expansile vasculer tissues of the nasal cavity. [4][5][6][7] Nasal airflow is regulated mainly by nasal turbinates and the IT plays an important role in the regulation of nasal resistance. 1 Unilateral IT hypertrophy contralateral to the septal deviation side is a common finding previously described as compensatory hypertrophy.…”

Nasal septal and craniofacial form in European‐ and African‐derived populations

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.

Internal nasal valve (INV) is the narrowest area, of the nose where turbulence of the inspiratory and expiratory current takes place. This study analysis the significance of INV with respect to health and disease. Study design: Descriptive study/Prospective study. Study Centre: Tertiary Centre. 150 students were followed for 2 years after noting the endoscopic anatomic details of INV. The students who reported due to sinus/ear disease during this follow up period were again noted. The type of INV in health and disease were analysed. Septal deviation at the INV is noted in most of the cases of sinus/ear disease. It is advisable to correct the abnormality of INV if present simultaneously while clearing the ear/sinus pathology.
