low nose bridge
Introduction
Introduction The bridge of the nose is low, also known as the saddle nose. Can be divided into light, medium and heavy. The nasal bridge is lower than normal, the nasal bone is slightly collapsed, the nasal back is slightly flat, the width is slightly concave or the curvature is not natural, the bridge of the nose is collapsed, the nose is wide, the two nostrils are facing the sky, the tip of the nose and the nose are flat, and the length of the nose is short. The nasal back is deformed in different degrees of depression, but the tip of the nose is saddle-shaped and hence the name. The saddle nose is caused by trauma and infection, and it is also seen in congenital malformations. Most of the traumatic saddle nose is a poorly treated nasal bone fracture, or due to excessive removal of cartilage by nasal septum.
Cause
Cause
Nasal septal cartilage and nasal bone collapse due to trauma, infection or congenital factors.

Nasal examination
Mild: The nose is slightly collapsed, the back of the nose is slightly flat and wide, and the micro-depression or curvature is not natural.
Moderate: The nose bridge is significantly collapsed, the base of the nose is wide, the two nostrils are facing the sky, the tip of the nose and the nose are small and flat, and the length of the nose is short.
Severe: the nasal back is severely depressed, the nasal bridge is not significant and accompanied by external nasal bone structure, nasal septum and nasal mucosa malformation.
Diagnosis
Differential diagnosis
1. Nasal column defect: The small column defect is the result of partial or complete defect of the nasal column due to nasal trauma or infection.
2, the nose bridge collapsed: the nose collapsed, also known as the saddle nose, can be divided into light, medium and severe. The collapsed nose is lower than the normal height, and the nasal back is deformed in different degrees. However, the tip of the nose is saddle-shaped and hence the name. Mostly caused by trauma, infection and congenital malformations.
