Nasal Reconstruction in the Vasculopathic Patient

Saddle nose deformity ranks high among the burden of disease in patients diagnosed with systemic vascular disorders. Nearly one-quarter of patients diagnosed with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) develop this deformity. The process contributes to the overall cosmetic, mental, and functional toll taken on by a patient. It is only in the last several decades that literature has surfaced highlighting surgical interventions for vasculitis-induced saddle nose deformity.
