Objectives: Permanent treatment for external nasal valve collapse (ENCV) is primarily
surgical. In some situations, instead of a major operation, the placement of structural alar rim …

Objective To compare measurements of the nasal valve on computed tomographic images
obtained in the traditional coronal imaging plane with those obtained using the Nasal Base …

Methods In 10 healthy controls and 10 patients with alar collapse, the size of the external
nasal valve was analyzed on standardized nasal base photographs during quiet breathing …

The nasal airway starts at the nasal vestibule and ends at the nasopharynx. Nasal airway
obstruction is defined as the sensation of insufficient airflow or difficulty breathing through …

Despite the apparent association of nasal airway obstruction with septal deviation and/or
inferior turbinate hypertrophy, increasing clinical evidence suggests that incompetence of …

Functional nasal surgery is frequently performed and deeply embedded in otolaryngology.
However, unequivocal proof of its efficacy is still pending, leading some health authorities …

The article discusses whether diagnostic tests are useful for nasal valve compromise (NVC).
It mentions the consensus panel created by the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head …

The size of any nasal airway depends not only on the width and contour of the septal
partition and inferior turbinates but also on the position and stability of the lateral nasal wall …

The aim of this study was to clarify the morphology and topography of the dilator naris
vestibularis, dilator naris anterior, and alar part of the nasalis. Anatomical variations in the …

Objective To describe the technique of intranasalZ-plasty and early results for this minimally
invasive method to repair internal nasal valve collapse. Intranasal Z-plasty has been well …
