Abstract

Objectives: investigate the morphology of body nasal septum on MRI 1.5 tesla at Cantho University Hosptal of Medicine and Pharmacy 2018-2020. Objects and methods: Study designs: cross-sectional descriptive method. Results: There are 64 cases (34 males, 30 males) were included in this study. The mean age is 43.2±17, the mean width of the body septum 13.1 mm (SD 2.1mm), and the height is 17.5 mm (SD 3.4 mm). Conclusions: The early report of this study in 64 cases offered a good and easy approach in evaluating the size of the nasal septal body. The result of this study had the differences in comparing those of Dary J, Costa. These differentiation can be explained by the racial characteristics between Vietnamese people (Mongolian race and Causian race)
