Abstract
The nose is the most frequently injured bone of the facial skeleton, in both adults and children. The structural anatomy of the nose includes the nasal and ethmoid bones, the upper and lower lateral cartilage, the septal cartilage, and the lacrimal system, which traverses the lateral nasal cavity (see Fig. 15.1). Assessment of each of these structures is imperative in the individual with nasal trauma.
