title: [Study on the retrofascial space of the dorsum nasi and its clinical significance].
abstract: Fifty-seven adult and two children cadavers were dissected to study the position, size and structure of the retrofascial space of the dorsum nasi. The space lay between the periosteum, perichondrium and the fascia dorsum nasi. The shape of the space is like a pyramid. The space averaged 3.09 +/- 0.66 cm in length. The anatomical characteristics, individual variation and clinical significance of this space were discussed.
