Contribution to nasal septum deformities.
The authors report on two elements in the anatomical structures of the septum-the inner nasal crest and local protuberance of the perpendicular plate-which sometimes play a significant role in the deformity and reconstruction of the septum. The inner nasal crest has been mentioned in the literature, but local protuberance of the perpendicular plate has not been given adequate attention.
