title: [Clinicofunctional parallels in posttraumatic deformities of the nasal tip].
abstract: The analysis of different posttraumatic deformities of the nasal tip gave evidence for a close correlation of internal nose deformities with nasal breathing ranging from common changes in the internal nose (hypertrophy of the inferior turbinated bone) to atresia when nasal breathing is completely blocked. Because of tissue edema, respiration improved and normalized only 1 and 3 months after surgery. It is concluded that functional examinations before and after surgery are beneficial for patients and warrant optimal terms of surgery.
