Naris, Enlarged

Definition:

Subjective: Increased aperture of the nostril

Comments:

The nostrils or nares are typically symmetric, wide openings. They should be assessed with the face at rest to avoid the effect of flared alae nasi that occurs with distress. Note that the nares change with age, from rounded in infancy to elongated at a later age.

Synonyms:

• Naris, Broad
