Abnormal nasal bridge morphology |
"Abnormality of the nasal bridge, which is the saddle-shaped area that includes the nasal root and the lateral aspects of the nose. It lies between the glabella and the inferior boundary of the nasal bone, and extends laterally to the inner canthi." [HPO:probinson, PMID:19152422] |
The nasal root is the most depressed, superior part of the nose along the nasal ridge. |

Prominent nasal bridge |
"Anterior positioning of the nasal root in comparison to the usual positioning for age." [PMID:19152422] |
A prominent nasal bridge can occur irrespective of the width of the nasal bridge, and the width should be assessed separately. The nasal bridge becomes more prominent with age. Although the nasal root may be anteriorly placed without increasing the space between the eyes, prominence of the nasal bridge may be accompanied by Telecanthus or ocular Hypertelorism. If such findings are present these should be coded separately. Deep-set eyes may lead to the impression of a prominent nasal bridge, but this finding should be coded separately. |

Abnormality of the nasal alae |
"An abnormality of the Ala of nose." [HPO:probinson, PMID:19152422] |
The nasal ala is the tissue comprising the lateral boundary of the nose, inferiorly, surrounding the naris. |

Underdeveloped nasal alae |
"Thinned, deficient, or excessively arched ala nasi." [PMID:19152422] |
The alae nasi are the lateral portions of the nose or the wings of the nostrils, which partly encircle the nostrils (nares). They are usually about the width of the columella, but vary greatly depending on the shape of the nostril. Note that individuals may be described as having a Cleft ala nasi, but have a severely underdeveloped ala nasi. In an underdeveloped ala the continuity of the tissue encircling the nostril is undisturbed while in a cleft it is disrupted. With severe hypoplasia of the nasal alae, the nasal tip may appear depressed. |

Wide nasal bridge |
"Increased breadth of the nasal bridge (and with it, the nasal root)." [HPO:probinson, PMID:19152422] |
Care should be taken to distinguish between increased width of bone and Fullness of paranasal tissue. A wide nasal bridge should be distinguished from Telecanthus and Hypertelorism. A wide nasal bridge can be either prominent or depressed, which should be coded separately. |

Abnormality of the nasal tip |
"An abnormality of the nasal tip." [HPO:probinson, PMID:19152422] |
The nasal tip is located at the junction of the inferior margin of the nasal ridge and the columella. Commonly, it is the part of the nose furthest from the plane of the face. In rare circumstances, such as markedly prominent and convex nasal profiles, other parts of the ridge may be further removed from the facial plane. |

Broad nasal tip |
"Increase in width of the nasal tip." [HPO:probinson, PMID:19152422] |
Nasal tip width is assessed at the anterior junction of the alae and the tip. This is easier in persons with a somewhat squared shape of the nasal tip. This may be best viewed from the inferior aspect of the nose. No objective measures are available. See Bulbous nose for a related term. |

Depressed nasal ridge |
"Lack of prominence of the nose resulting from a posteriorly-placed nasal ridge." [HPO:probinson, PMID:19152422] |
The adjective 'depressed' here does not indicate an active process but a status. The feature should be assessed in a profile view. This finding is typically associated with a Short columella, but this should be assessed separately. |
