Collapse of the nasal alae against the septum brings about a serious obstruction to the airway. Collapse may be overlooked on routine examination because the speculum may prevent it.
In most cases alar collapse can be corrected by a simple surgical procedure, herein described, which can be readily done at the same time as operation on the caudal portion of the septum.
