OBJECTIVES: Comprehensive examination of the internal nasal valve (INV) using objective
methods. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: In this prospective study, 248 nasal cavities were …

The anterior portion of the nasal cavities, from the nostril to the nasal valve (NV), is the place
of highest nasal resistance to airflow, paramount to nasal physiology. There are different …

Background The nasal valve region has remained difficult to define in clinical practice in part
because of lack of integration between physiological data and anatomic-surgical findings …

The nasal valve region plays a key role in nasal breathing. In the international literature, a
variety of techniques have been described to rectify nasal valve compromise, but based on …

Conclusions. The internal nasal valve (INV) angle in Asians is 21.6°±4.5° and it is
significantly larger than that of Caucasians. The reconstructed CT method has better …

Purpose Nasal obstruction is a highly subjective and commonly reported symptom. The
internal nasal valve (INV) is the rate limiting step to nasal airflow. A static INV grading score …

Because the internal nasal valve has been identified as the narrowest segment in the nasal
cavity, more has been written about the internal nasal valve than the external. A PubMed …
