The effects of nasal trauma during childhood upon growth of the nose and midface.
Cephalometric radiographs from a group of adults who had suffered nasal trauma during childhood were compared with random controls. Significant differences were found between mean measurements for the two groups, which indicated aberrations in the growth of the midface in patients from the study group. The vertical component of facial development was also altered, being increased in the study group.
