Prominent Nasal Bridge
Understanding nose related symptoms and features
Symptoms may affect multiple parts of the body. Understanding which part of the body a symptom affects, can help us to better understand the potential underlying causes of a symptom, including a rare disease or genetic syndrome.
The nose is a part of the respiratory system of the body, a system which includes the lungs and airways to.The respiratory system is what makes it possible for the body to inhale and exhale air to breathe.
The nose is also a sensory organ. It is responsible for the body’s sense of smell.
Sometimes symptoms affecting the nose can be seen with the eye. Although diagnosing a nose related symptom may involve different tests and assessments, both subjective and objective.
Symptoms relating to the nose may affect its structure, shape and/ or function. Some features will affect just the appearance of the nose while others may affect its ability to smell, and it’s ability to function properly as a part of the respiratory system.
What is a Prominent Nasal Bridge?
It is when the nasal root (the top of the nose, where the nasal bones meet the frontal bone) is positioned further forward than what would be expected for the age of the individual being assessed. A prominent nasal bridge is measured separately from the width of the nose and a nose that is no wider than usual may still be identified as having a prominent nasal bridge.
What should I do next?
In some instances a prominent nasal bridge may be one of the features of a rare disease or genetic syndrome. In this case fast, targeted genetic analysis can give you a more accurate diagnosis.
