The patients had fine-cut (0.75-mm section) CT scans ordered for nasal airway obstruction or nasal valve compromise at the same institution. These patients were evaluated from January 1, 2000, through December 31, 2010. The previously acquired CT scans were reformatted to obtain sections through the internal nasal valve at a more appropriate orientation. The internal nasal valve cross-sectional area and valve angle were measured through a standardized section (1 cut immediately anterior to the head of the inferior turbinate) from the reformatted scans. The cross-sectional area was also measured through the same point on the traditionally oriented CT scan, and the values were compared. The results from each patient's scan were compared with data from the patient's medical record and analyzed against the patient's preoperative modified Cottle examination findings.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The CT scans oriented in the reformatted plane through the internal nasal valve provided a narrower valve angle than the traditionally oriented CT scans and more closely approximated the hypothesized true value of the internal nasal valve of 10° to 15° (P < .001). In a comparison of the same-side internal nasal valve angle and cross-sectional nasal valve area between the 2 different CT scan orientations, a statistically significant difference in the internal nasal valve angles between the 2 scan orientations was discovered, but this finding did not reach significance when distinguishing the nasal valve cross-sectional area.

Although tools such as acoustic rhinometry exist to evaluate the cross-sectional area of the nasal valve, many rhinoplasty surgeons do not have access to this expensive equipment. A CT scan with reformatting in the proper plane of the internal nasal valve can provide the surgeon with improved anatomical information to assess that region.

Patients were observed postoperatively for development of VPI and palatal fistula. The primary risk factor was cleft width. Covariates included cleft length, age at surgery, and presence of associated syndrome. Logistic regression analysis was used to calculate adjusted and unadjusted odds ratios (ORs).Results The cohort comprised 61 patients. Mean (SD) patient age at the time of cleft repair was 13 (3) months. Fistula rate was 3%. Overall rate of postoperative VPI was 32%. We found significant associations between VPI diagnosis and increasing age in months at the time of palate repair (OR, 1.4 [95% CI, 1.2-1.7]) and between VPI and cleft width greater than 10 mm (OR, 5.3 [95% CI, 1.8-15.6]).
