Localization
Septal deformities may be distinguished on the basis of their location. We may thus speak of a basal crest, a posterior spine, or an anterior deviation. In this respect, one may add the Cottle area where the deformity is localized (see ▶ Five-Area Division of Cottle). An alternative is to use specific anatomical terms to indicate the location of the deformity, such as nostril, vestibule, valve area, middle (inferior) meatus, infundibulum, and choana.
Etiology
Septal pathology may also be classified in terms of its cause: genetic, developmental, traumatic, or infectious. Traumatic deformities may be classified into frontal, lateral, basal, frontolateral, or basolateral, according to the (likely) impact of the injury. Vernon Gray has drawn attention to the fact that fractures ventral to an imaginary line drawn from the anterior wall of the sphenoid bone to the anterior nasal spine (Gray’s line) are mostly vertically oriented, and those dorsal to this line are mostly horizontally oriented (▶ Fig. 2.105).
Fig. 2.105Gray’s line. Septal fractures anterior to this line tend to be vertically oriented, whereas those posterior to this line are usually horizontally oriented.
Function
Finally, septal deformities may be subdivided on the basis of the leading symptom. Although instructive, this is not common practice.

Dislocated Caudal Septal End (▶ Fig. 2.106)
Fig. 2.106Dislocated caudal septal end.
The caudal end of the cartilaginous septum is dislocated to one side, so that it protrudes into the vestibule and the nostril. This is a common type of pathology. It may lead to breathing obstruction, vestibulitis with crusting, and to cosmetic complaints. A caudal septal dislocation is often
combined with a vertical septal fracture at the level of the valve area on the opposite side. It is generally caused by trauma with a (baso)lateral impact. If the causative injury occurred in childhood, the septum may show excessive growth in the caudal direction, causing an ugly protrusion into the nostril.

The cartilaginous septum is fractured in a craniocaudal direction due to an injury with a lateral or laterobasal impact on the cartilaginous part of the external pyramid. The vertical fracture line is usually located at the level of the piriform aperture (i.e., the valve area) on the side of the impact. A vertical fracture is usually associated with dislocation of the caudal end of the septum to the other side. The external pyramid shows deviation of the cartilaginous pyramid to the opposite side. Severe inspiratory breathing obstruction, or even total blockage of the airway, is a common symptom. Local irritation, infection, crusting, or bleeding as a result of abnormal air currents is regularly seen.
Multiple Vertical Fractures (▶ Fig. 2.108)
Fig. 2.108Multiple vertical fractures.
The septum shows two or three nearly vertical fractures posterior to each other. This type of septal deformity is usually caused by frontal trauma with its impact on the lower half of the external pyramid. The cartilaginous dorsum is impressed (sagging) and twisted (“crooked nose”). In patients with a double vertical septal fracture, the first fracture line is usually located at the valve area,

the second at the septoperpendicular junction. In cases with three fractures, the second is found 1 to 2 cm posterior to the first, while the third is located at the chondroperpendicular junction.
Horizontal Fracture (▶ Fig. 2.109)
Fig. 2.109Horizontal fracture.
The cartilaginous septum is fractured in dorsoventral direction as a result of lateral nasal trauma to the bony part of the external pyramid. The fracture line is located at the septal base at the level of the chondropremaxillary and the chondrovomeral junctions. A horizontal fracture is usually associated with a basal crest and a spur on the same side, and a high deviation of the cartilaginous and bony septum in area 3 and 4 to the other side. The external pyramid generally shows deviation of the bony and cartilaginous pyramid to the opposite side. Breathing obstruction is common if the deformity is severe. Neuralgic symptoms may occur in cases where the septum impacts into the inferior or middle turbinate (Charlin syndrome, see
Anterior (Posterior) Ethmoidal Neuralgia).
Mixed Fracture (▶ Fig. 2.110)

Fig. 2.110Mixed fracture.
The septum is fractured both vertically and horizontally. Various different types of mixed fracture may occur, depending upon the severity of the trauma.
High Cartilaginous Deviation (▶ Fig. 2.111)
Fig. 2.111High cartilaginous deviation.
The superior part of the cartilaginous septum is deviated. This type of pathology often goes together with a basal crest. The cartilaginous pyramid is often deformed. Deviations of this type in areas 2 and 4 mostly cause functional complaints. Those in area 3 usually cause few symptoms.
