External nasal valve – essense and structure

G. Iliev, P. Nedev, M. Milkov

Abstract

There is a large confusion about the terminology and the definition of external nasal valve’s components – has different terms in the literature relating to the same structures.
After a review of the literature and our experience, we can conclude that the external nasal valve area is forward from the caudate edge of the lateral cartilage / caudal from the Mink valve, upholstered in skin, with skeletal support of the Alar cartilage.

Keywords

external nasal valve, internal nasal valve, lower lateral cartilage
