“…Many investigators have tried to determine whether there is a relationship between nasal septal deviation and facial asymmetry, and they demonstrated that there is a positive relationship between nasal septal deviation (NSD) and facial growth. [4][5][6]10,11 However, previous studies on the role of nasal septum in facial asymmetry have certain limitations, and controversy still exists over these studies. Previous studies have some limitations with respect to the evaluation.…”

“…6 Taban emphasized that there is a trend for nasal septal convexity toward the smaller side of the face. 5 Kim suggested that facial asymmetry patients have a wider midfacial width in the direction of nasal septal convexity. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the integrated relationship between nasal septal deviation and facial asymmetry by means of 3-dimensional analysis in a larger number of patients than those in previous studies.…”

“…Turbinate hypertrophy involves an increase in the size of the mucosa, which may cause drainage disorders that affect ciliary function, leading to secondary obstruction and infection (Gencer et al, 2013). In fact, nasolacrimal duct obstruction are observed on the concave side of the nasal septum (Taban et al, 2011). Lee et al (2013) reported that the higher degree of facial asymmetry and nasal septal deviation was associated with increased nasolacrimal duct obstruction (Lee et al).…”

The aim of this research was to analyze the morphology of the nasal septum and inferior nasal concha bone in class III facial deformities prior to orthodontic treatment in orthognathic surgery candidates. 40 subjects were included in this research. The inclusion criteria were an Angle class III, negative overjet and SNA angle less than 80º. Patients with facial asymmetry, facial trauma or who had undergone maxillofacial or ENT procedures were excluded. CBCT images were obtained for all the patients and the nasal septum deviation, morphology of inferior nasal concha bone and ostium of the maxillary sinus were analyzed and related to the complexity of the facial deformity expressed by the ANB angle and dental relations. The measurement was standardized by ICC and the data was analyzed using a chi square test and Spearman's coefficient with a p value < 0.005 for statistical significance. Nasal septal deviation was observed in 77.5 %. The deviation angle was 13.28º (±4.68º) and the distance from the midline to the most deviated septum was 5.56 mm (±1.8 mm) with no statistical relation to the complexity of the facial deformity. The deviated nasal septum showed inferior nasal concha bone hypertrophy on the concave side of the nasal septum deviation (p=0.049). The open or closed condition of the maxillary sinus ostium was not related to any conditions in the septum or complexity of the facial deformity. Inferior nasal concha bone hypertrophy could be related to nasal septal deviation. The nasal condition in a class III facial deformity could not differ from the general population; careful in orthognathic surgery as to be assume in the Le Fort I Osteotomy and nasal approach related to nasal septum deviation and inferior nasal concha bone.

“…There are claims that unilateral NLD duct obstruction is related to septal deviation and tends to happen at the smaller side of face (Taban et al, 2011). Functional nasolacrimal obstruction is less common.…”

Facial Asymmetry and Nasal Septal Deviation in Acquired Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction

Abstract: Unilateral nasolacrimal duct obstruction appears to occur on the side in which the nasal septum is deviated. There is a trend of nasal septal deviation toward the smaller side of the face. Further prospective studies are needed to clarify the above relationships.
