Why: suggests a congenital disorder e.g. Down syndrome is characterized by a snub shaped nose; bifid nose (split into two parts) may occur in association with cleft lip and palate and usually result from genetic factors or being exposed to an agent during the second month of fetal life that causes abnormal fetal development.
Why: may indicate the cause of the abnormal nasal shape e.g. broken nose, deviated septum, separated septum, nasal septal necrosis, saddle nose deformity.
