Study of the dependence of the width of the piriform aperture on the size and shape of the external nose

Key Points

• The research aims to explore how the size and shape of the external nose affect the width of the piriform aperture.
• Analysis of correlation coefficients between nose size and piriform aperture width.
• Examination of various external nose shapes and their dimensions.
• Identified a moderate to weak correlation between nose shape and piriform aperture width.
• Findings suggest that specific nose parameters can indicate the narrowness of the piriform aperture.
