Choanal Polyp Arising From the Left Posterior...
A large choanal nasal polyp be seen arising from the posterior portion of this left nasal septum extending into the choana.
Kiesselbach's Plexus
Sometimes the vessels in Kiesselbach's Plexus may become quite large and, by virtue of their superficial location susceptible to damage from the most minimal trauma. The result is frequent spontaneous...
Subtotal Nasal Septal Perforation
This patient has a huge nasal septal perforation involving most of the nasal septum. Both sides of the nose can be seen on either side of the posterior remnant of the nasal septum. The spontaneous development...
Large Nasal Septal Perforation
Large septal perforations often produce a sensation of nasal stuffiness which is probably due to airflow disturbance. The drying effect of the inspired air on the posterior margin of the perforation frequently...
Nasal Septal Spur
Note the large vomarine spur that projects into the left middle meatus and impinges against the lower portion of the uncinate process.
Nasal Septal Spur [left]
In this patient, probably as the result of a local bony growth disorder, the vomer has developed a spur which presses laterally into the left inferior turbinate, and which was responsible for recurrent...
Hyperkeratosis of the Nasal Septum
Chronic local trauma to the anterior nasal septum from picking has caused the mucosal to undergo squamous metaplasia producing a thickened white hyperkeratotic area.
Nasal Septal Ulceration and Crusting
Exudate from the ulcerated mucosa the accumulate over the site of the ulceration to form a yellow-green crust as seen on this left nasal septum. Patients generally pick at this crust thereby increasing...
Jacobson's Organ
A shallow circular pit or depression, which resembles a small ulcer or punched out lesion can sometimes be seen on the anterior cartilaginous nasal septum. This is known as "Jacobson's Organ",...
The Nasal Septal Swell Body
A discrete area of erectile tissue is present in the submucosa over the anterior cartilaginous nasal septum in some individuals. Vasodilatation of the septal swell body can be a cause of significant nasal...
Coronal Anatomy of the Nose and Paranasal Sinuses:...
This series of photographs demonstrates the anatomy of the nose and paranasal sinuses as seen from anterior to posterior. In this section one can see the anterior and of the bony nasal septum and the...
