Lee’s Essential Otolaryngology: Head and Neck Surgery, 12e AB - Nasal embryologyThe embryologic precursors of the nasal turbinates arise in the eighth week of gestation as ridges along the lateral nasal wall.Maxilloturbinal: originates inferiorly from the maxillary process and gives rise to inferior turbinate.Ethmoturbinals: arise superiorly from ethmoid bone, five arise with only four persisting throughout development.First ethmoturbinal:Ascending portion gives rise to agger nasiDescending portion gives rise to uncinate process (UP)Regresses during developmentSecond ethmoturbinal: gives rise to middle turbinateThird ethmoturbinal: gives rise to superior turbinateFourth and fifth ethmoturbinals: gives rise to supreme turbinate (when present)Primary furrows: form the recesses separating the ethmoturbinals and gives rise to meatiFirst primary furrow: separates first and second ethmoturbinals; gives rise to middle meatusSecond primary furrow: gives rise to superior meatusThird primary furrow: gives rise to supreme meatusExternal nasal anatomySubcutaneous layers of the noseMnemonic = “Subcutaneous Fat DeePS = Superficial fatty layer (connected to dermis)F = Fibromuscular layer (nasal superficial musculoaponeurotic system [SMAS])D = Deep fatty layers (contains neurovascular system)P = Periosteum/perichondriumOptimal plane of dissection is located between D and P as it is avascular and heals with minimal fibrosisExternal nasal landmarksNasion: corresponds to nasofrontal sutureRadix: nasal root; centered at nasion, extends inferiorly to the level of the lateral canthus and superiorly by equivalent distanceRhinion: corresponds to bony-cartilaginous junction along nasal dorsumSupratip break: a break in the nasal profile separating the nasal dorsum and lobule located immediately superior to the tip defining pointSupratip lobule: portion of lobule located superior to tip-defining pointTip defining point: two points located at the highest, medial, and cephalic portion of the lateral crus; corresponds to light reflex externallyInfratip lobule: portion of lobule located inferior to tip-defining point and superior to infratip breakInfratip break: lobule-columella junctionNasal sill: nostril rim located between columella and alar facial attachmentNasal tip supportMajor tip supportsMedial and lateral cruraAttachment of medial crura to caudal edge of quadrangular cartilageAttachment of upper lateral cartilage to lower lateral cartilage (“scroll area”)Minor tip supportsSkin-soft tissue envelope (attachment of lower lateral cartilage to overlying skin and musculature)Sesamoid complex (located between lateral crura and pyriform aperture)Interdomal ligament (located between lower lateral cartilages)Anterior nasal spineCartilaginous septal dorsumMembranous nasal septumNasal osteologyTwo nasal bones fuse in the midline to form a pyramidal shapeNasal bones are thicker superiorly than inferiorlyNasal bone attachments =Superior: nasal process of frontal boneLateral: frontal process of maxillaPyriform aperture = bony opening into the nasal cavity bounded bySuperior: caudal margin of nasal bonesInferior: alveolar process of maxillaLateral: frontal process of maxillaMedial: nasal septumNasal cartilagesUpper lateral cartilage (ULC)Attached superiorly to nasal bonesArticulates inferiorly with the cephalic margin of the LLC most often forming an interlocking scrollThickens medially where it becomes continuous with the quadrangular cartilage of the septum forming the cartilaginous portion of the nasal dorsumLower lateral cartilage (LLC)Provides the shape of the nasal tipComposed of medial and lateral cruraSesamoid cartilagesSmall cartilages located lateral to the lateral crusNasal septumComprised of both bony and cartilaginous components, lined by either a mucoperiosteal or mucoperichondrial layerCartilage = quadrangular cartilageBone = perpendicular plate of ethmoid, vomer, crest of the maxillary bone, crest of the palatine bone; minor contributions from crest ...
