Fig. 2.12Prominent-narrow pyramid syndrome. The nostrils are slitlike and their axis almost vertical; the columella is long and narrow; the alae are thin and stretched.
The entire external pyramid is narrow and prominent. Its length and height are greater than normal. The bony dorsum is straight or slightly humped, and the overlying skin is usually thin. The cartilaginous pyramid is narrow and prominent, and its dorsum is often slightly convex. The frontonasal angle is relatively small, and the nasolabial
angle is larger than normal. The piriform aperture is high and narrow. The clinical nasal index is less than 70. The skull is dolichocephalic. Retrognathism of the mandible is a frequent feature. The valve area is narrow and high and easily collapsible. The lobule is narrow and projecting. The tip is narrow and may be pulled down slightly by the tension of the stretched alae and columella. There is a positive “OO phenomenon” (see ▶ Fig. 2.142). By puckering the lips, as when pronouncing the vowel sound “OO,” the tip is drawn down and backward due to the tension (overstretch) of the columella and the upper lip.
The columella is relatively long and slender; the alae are thin and (over)stretched. The nares are more or less slitlike and their axis is almost vertical instead of oblique. As a consequence, the alae may collapse on inspiration. The septum is usually normal, although small deformations may be present. The upper lip is usually short, and retrognathism of the mandible is common.
Patients with prominent-narrow pyramid syndrome may ask for surgery for aesthetic reasons. However, there may also be functional reasons; for example, breathing impairment due to inspiratory collapse of the alae and/or obstruction of the valve area.
Cottle has named the prominent external pyramid the “tension nose.” He pointed out that the soft tissues are under tension as a result of the strong ventral growth of

the septum and bony pyramid in comparison to the soft tissues.
2.1.4Low-Wide Pyramid Syndrome (Saddle Nose)
The low-wide pyramid syndrome or saddle nose is a very common nasal syndrome that may be either congenital (congenital nasal hypoplasia) or the result of severe septal pathology (trauma, septal abscess, inadequate septal surgery). The bony pyramid is broad and lacks prominence (▶ Fig. 2.13 and ▶ Fig. 2.14). The dorsum is flat. The nasal bones are usually thick. The bony pyramid is more or less round or trapezoid rather than pyramidal. The cartilaginous pyramid is low and wide. The clinical nasal index is more than 85.

Fig. 2.14Low-wide pyramid syndrome. The bony and cartilaginous pyramids are low; the nasal bones are thick; the lobule is low, wide, and underprojected.
The cartilaginous dorsum sags, lacking support and projection (▶ Fig. 2.13 and ▶ Fig. 2.14). This is due to a defective anterior septum and scarring of the soft tissues. The triangular cartilages are often atrophic. The fibrous connections between the cartilaginous and the bony
pyramid may have been lost, making the lower margins of the nasal bones visible.
The lobule is underprojected, lacking support. Its shape resembles that of the lobule in childhood (▶ Fig. 2.15). This is partially due to causative trauma or infection, and partially the result of disturbed nasal growth. Because of the absence of (septal) support, the tip can easily be pressed downward—the so-called rubber nose phenomenon (▶ Fig. 2.16). The tip is broad and flat. The columella is short and retracted, especially at its base. The alae are more convex and thicker than normal. The nostrils are round and ballooning.

Fig. 2.16Low-wide pyramid syndrome. The lobule and tip lack projection and support. The lobule is easily compressed by pressing with the finger on the tip (the so-called rubber nose).
The vestibule and the valve area are broad and low (▶ Fig.
2.17). The valve angle is depressed and considerably
increased, sometimes even up to 90°.

Fig. 2.17Low-wide pyramid syndrome. The valve is low and very wide due to loss of the cartilaginous septum and retraction of the soft tissues of the septum.
Patients with low-wide pyramid syndrome usually have both functional and aesthetic complaints. Their breathing is often disturbed, although their nasal passages are wide enough. Because of deformity of the vestibule and the valve area, the inspiratory airstream will be less turbulent than normal. This may compromise the air-conditioning and
cleansing functions of the nose. The mucosa is usually of poor quality. The cilia may be partially missing, and mucociliary clearance is impaired, leading to local infection, crusting, and bleeding. All these factors will, to some degree, negatively influence nasal function.
Apart from being part of a syndrome, saddling and sagging may also occur in isolation as a symptom. We distinguish the following five types of saddle nose:
Bony saddle
The bony pyramid is concave whereas the cartilaginous dorsum is normal (see ▶ Fig. 2.52).
Cartilaginous saddling or sagging
The cartilaginous dorsum is concave and depressed, while the bony dorsum is normal (see
Fig. 2.53 and ▶ Fig. 2.54).
Linea nasalis dorsalis
A linea nasalis dorsalis is a pathological horizontal crease over the cartilaginous dorsum just above the lobule (see ▶ Fig. 2.58).
Dorsal step
The cartilaginous pyramid is detached from the bony pyramid. The junction between the triangular cartilages and the nasal bones is disrupted (see
Fig. 2.55 and ▶ Fig. 2.56).
Sagging of the supratip area
The area just cranial to the tip is depressed (see
Fig. 2.57).
