The etiology of osseous deformities of the head, face, jaws and teeth . nt must neces-sarily possess a degenerate condition, with weak lungs, smallchest, and low vitality. In order that the air may be uni-formly warmed the septum has deflected towards the vomer has deflected towards the right in order that the 268 ETIOLOGY OF OSSEOUS DEFORMITIES OF turbinated bone may have room, and also to furnish uniformspace. The septum in this case is bent and not broken. Fig. 81 is another form of deformity which I have occa-sionally observed. In this drawing we observe that the nasalcavities extend laterally nearly outside of the alveolar we were to undertake to open the antrum through thecavities of the teeth we should drill into the floor of the have observed such cases. Having such a large space theturbinated bones have adjusted themselves to the best advan-tage. The septum also has adapted itself as best it can bydeflecting toward the left side, having bent itself at its weakestpart and opposite the enlarged turbinated bone. There is,. Fig. 80. however, a large space upon the right side between the twoturbinated bones. The thickness of the bone prevents itsbeing bent by the pressure of air, and excessive developmentof the vomer has taken place upon that side as a substitute. Fig. 82 shows the turbinated bones upon both sides exces-sively and uniformly developed, the result of which is thatthe vomer is straight upon the left side, while the right halfhas been torn away, and by aspiration the air has drawn itslightly into the space between the two bones. Figs. 83 and 84 are drawings taken from frozen speci-mens in the Army Medical Museum at Washington, showingthat the parts of fracture and deflection are situated betweenthe turbinated bones.
