Abnormal nasal bridge morphology

What it means

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.

The nasal root is the most depressed, superior part of the nose along the nasal ridge.
