Nasenhöhlenfront

Nasenhöhlenfront, also known as the anterior boundary of the nasal cavity, is a term used in human anatomy to describe the front portion of the nasal cavity's bony structure. It primarily refers to the part of the nasal bones and surrounding bones that form the anterior and superior walls of the nasal aperture. This region plays a vital role in defining the shape and structure of the external nose and the nasal opening.

Anatomically, the nasenhöhlenfront includes the nasal bones, the ascending processes of the maxilla, and the parts of the frontal bone forming the nasal and orbital plates. It creates the bony framework that supports the cartilaginous elements of the external nose and provides attachment points for various muscles and tissues involved in facial expression and nasal functions.

The nasenhöhlenfront is clinically significant in surgeries involving the nasal bones, such as rhinoplasty or fracture repair. It also serves as an important anatomical landmark during diagnostic assessments of nasal deformities, trauma, or disease processes affecting the nasal cavity and surrounding structures.

Understanding the anatomy of the nasenhöhlenfront is essential for medical professionals working in otolaryngology, maxillofacial surgery, and related fields, as it underpins many diagnostic and surgical procedures aimed at restoring or altering the function and appearance of the external nose and nasal passages.
