Overview & Considerations

Decreased growth (hypoplasia) of the nasal bridge can occur in association with infectious or genetic diseases. A low or absent nasal bridge is a relative term. Decrease in height of the nasal bridge is best seen from a side view of the face. A low nasal bridge may be almost flush with the plane of the face, the eyes, or the forehead.
