nasal vestibule

The area just inside the nostrils is called the nasal vestibule.

If cancer is in the nasal vestibule, treatment may include the following:

For nasal vestibule tumors: Surgery or radiation may be performed.

For nasal vestibule tumors: Generally, radiation is preferred to minimize deformity.

For nasal vestibule tumors: For radiation therapy failures, surgery.

Septal perforation and dermatitis of nasal vestibule can occur.

Voluntary apnea can be achieved by closing the vocal cords, simultaneously keeping the mouth closed and blocking the nasal vestibule, or constantly activating expiratory muscles.

There are broad and shallow narial grooves on the dorsal side of the premaxilla extending the nasal vestibule to the anterior end of the rostrum.

This nerve innervates the lower eyelid, upper lip, and part of the nasal vestibule and exits the infraorbital foramen of the maxilla.

For maxillary sinus tumors, ethmoid sinus tumors, nasal cavity tumors, and nasal vestibule tumors, clinical trials using chemotherapy should be considered.

Tumors of the ethmoid sinuses, nasal vestibule, and nasal cavity are less common, and tumors of the sphenoid and frontal sinuses are rare.

The closer the mucus is to being in the nasal vestibule and near the nostril opening, the more moisture it loses to the outside air, and the more likely it is to dry out and become stuck.
