title: [The growing nose].
abstract: Children noses have special anatomical and functional characteristics. Early interventions performed before the end of the child's growth have been a main topic as they may cause adverse effects on the subsequent development and the function. This chapter describes the characteristics of the nasal pyramid and the septum at different stages of growth. Should one's approach be very cautious in children surgical indications, one should not hesitate opting for the treatment of congenital malposition or acquired when they jeopardize the nasal function. Considering possible procedures and specific conditions within pediatric field are discussed in this chapter.
