Key points:
- Hand dominance and its association with the dominant side in double
organs.
- The etiological factors of nasal deviation can be classified into two
main groups (developmental/genetic and acquired).
- In the study group, 91% were right-handed and 9% were left-handed.
- Comparison of hand dominance and deviations of the nasal bony pyramid
showed that, of those with deviation to the right, 61.2% were
right-hand dominant, while 58.3% of those with deviation to the left
were left-hand dominant.
- In this study hand dominance and side of the deviation were not
significantly associated with nasal bony pyramid and caudal nasal
deviation.
