Summary
The nasal septum
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Otorhinolaryngology
Background:
- The nose's external appearance (aesthetics) and internal structure (nasal septum) are closely linked.
- Changes to one significantly impact the other.
Purpose of the Study:
- To highlight the interconnectedness of nasal septum form and nasal aesthetics.
- To emphasize the need for a comprehensive understanding in rhinoplasty.
Main Methods:
- Literature review and discussion of anatomical and surgical principles.
- Analysis of the interplay between septal surgery and rhinoplasty outcomes.
Main Results:
- Surgical alterations to the external or internal nose affect both form and function.
- Advancements in surgical techniques are often siloed within specialties.
Conclusions:
- Rhinoplasty surgeons require a thorough understanding of nasal form and function.
- Bridging specialty knowledge gaps enhances patient care in nasal surgeries.

01:30Epistaxis
Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

01:24Nose and Nasal Cavity
The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. This structure is supported by the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillary bone and is supplemented by a cartilaginous framework comprising the septal nasal cartilage, lateral nasal...
01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
