[Measurement of nasal septum area in 128 Chinese patients with nasal septum deviation].

Establish the anatomical parameters of the nasal septum and the area of each component in patients with nasal septum deviation, for the sake of guiding the scope of surgical resection for correction of nasal septum deviation. This is a retrospective study of 128 cases of sinus computer tomography images of patients with nasal septum deviation, marked 9 nasal septal anatomical locations, measured the area of the nasal septum and its components, and analyzed the trend of the percentage of the area of the nasal septum cartilage in the total area of the nasal septum with age. The total area of the nasal septum in the 128 patients with nasal septum deviation is: （2951.96±305.91） mm², the area of nasal septal cartilage: （961.89±229.64） mm², the area of the vertical ethmoid plate: （1123.96±214.17） mm², the area of the vomerine: （652.77±108.09） mm². The area of male septum is larger than that of female. As age increases, the nasal septal cartilage gradually decreases, and the percentage of the nasal septal cartilage area in the total area of the nasal septum gradually decreases. Elderly people who undergo nasal septum correction should be carefully considered to grasp the scope of resection, and the influence of gender on the area of nasal septum should also be paid attention.
