Abstract

Objectives: To determine the averaged anthropometric indicators of the nasal bone and their correlation. Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive studies on the nasal bones from dried Vietnameses corpses at the Anatomy Department of Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine from May 2019 to January 2021. By the directly measurement of anthropometric indicators on the nasal bone, these indexes will be measured twice and record the averaged results. Results: There are 33 nasal bones, with 45.5% female, the age range from 20 to 87 years old, the average age is 65 years. The sizes of the nasal bone were measured as follows: the upper width of the nasal bone is 10.21 2.53mm; the lower width of nasal bone is  17.08 ± 2.08mm; the narrowest is 8.24 ± 1.58 mm. The narrowest segment of nasal bone is above the eye and equal to or below the Sellion. The average length of the nasal bone (N - R) is 23.81 ± 2.94mm. There are the correlation between the upper width with the narrowest segment of the nasal bone; the correlation between the distance from Nasion to Sellion and the distance from Sellion to Rhinion. Conclusion: In rhinoplasty, it is necessary to consider the correlation between the anthropometric indicators of the nasal bones, so that it leads to the beautiful results, prevents the surgical complications and enhances the patient's satisfication.
