The Snout After Resection of Nasal Septum in Adult Rabbits

40 Rhinoplasty in Children

“…These clinical observations 1,2 and experimental studies 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 confirm the importance of this clinical attitude. These clinical observations 1,2 and experimental studies 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 confirm the importance of this clinical attitude.…”

Nasal Growth After External Septoplasty in Children

“…In a majority of cases, these measurements were considered optimal, within 1 SD of the mean. Similarly, results for the 3 Nasal dorsum length, the ninth linear measure¬ ment, was found to be normal in 20 (71%) of 28 pa-tients but optimal in only 10 patients (36%). Eight pa¬ tients (29%) were found to have abnormally small dorsum lengths; no abnormally large values were recorded.…”

“…Anthropométrie measurements taken from the face and nose were compared with previously published nor¬ mal values, and the majority of all linear and angular mea¬ surements were found to be within 2 SDs of the mean (normal range). The previously published age-and sex- Disproportionately Large (>2 SDs Over Mean) Nasal index (al-al)/(n-sn) 0 (0) Nasal dorsum index (n-prn)/(n-sn) 16 (57) Columella length-nasal tip protrusion Index (sn-c')/(sn-prn) 3 Long-term follow-up in this group showed a ma¬ jority of values in the linear anthropométrie categories to be in the optimal range, within 1 SD of the mean. This was true for nasal height (71%), nasal tip protrusion (68%), nasal width (46%), columella width (71%), colu- Figure 7.…”

Growth pattern of the rabbit nasal bone region

“…Was the snout deformity after resection of nasal septum a result of either lack of growth or lack of support? In a different experiment, large amounts of nasal septum were resected in adult rabbits [Sarnat and Wexler, 1967]. After a postoperative survival of 16 weeks, study of the dissected skulls showed a large septal defect, but no deformity of the snout.…”
