They may also keep the septum at a midline point above the nasal spine and maxillary crest by serving as both an interior and an exterior fixator.

The septum is typically dislocated from the maxillary crest toward the noncleft side, resulting in a septal deflection toward the cleft side, commonly causing nasal obstruction on that side.

Nasal septal deviation (NSD) is one of the most common nasal diseases. Different from common clinical examination methods, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can provide visual flow information of the ...

This change in the middle nasal conchae has been identified as a possible etiological factor for RS, 7 and an increase in the total volume of the nasal conchae has been associated with an increase in ...

Septoplasty is a nasal septum that divides the wall into nasal cavity. It separates the left and right sides of the nose into passageways and rests on the bony ridge called the maxillary crest.

This patient had a history of fleeting arthralgia, and he had an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (83 [normal 1–13] mm/hr). A computed tomography scan of the paranasal sinuses (Figure 1) showed ...

Nasal septum deviation may occur in about 4 in 10 patients after undergoing orthognathic surgeries to correct the position of the maxilla and skeletal malocclusions, according to a study published on ...
