The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Right internal nasal valve angle (RINVA) was 10.72 degree, left internal nasal valve angle (LINVA) was 9.86 degree, left external nasal base area (LENBA) was 1.12 degree, right external nasal base area (RENBA) was 1.12 degree, left internal nasal valve area (LINVAr) was 0.42 degree and right internal nasal valve area (RINVAr) was 0.48 degree.
