The etiology of osseous deformities of the head, face, jaws and teeth . over theskulls, while the cavities of the nose are smaller, or arrestedin their development. The two sides of the face are quiteunlike, and the orbits are very much undeveloped. There isa marked arrest of development of the left maxillary bone, 260 ETIOLOGY OF OSSEOUS DEFORMITIES OF which contains an antrum only about one-half the size of theright side. The arrest of development has caused the teethto be forced out on a large circle, in order that they maycome in contact with the lower teeth. This action has causedthe roots of the teeth, in many cases, to protrude through theouter plate of alveolar process. The mastoid processes arealso excessively developed. A profile view was taken ofthis skull (Fig. 73) in order to obtain as good a view as pos-sible of the large right inferior turbinated bone. This boneis so large that it extends nearly to the floor of the most remarkable point in regard to this deformity, out-side of the excessively developed turbinated bones, is, that. Fig. 73. not only is the septum deflected to the left until it rests uponthe wall of the cavity, but that the nasal spine is 71 shows nasal cavities arrested in their septum is but slightly curved to the left. The nasal cav-ities are filled with excessively developed turbinated bones,and the spaces between the turbinated bones and the vomerare about evenly divided. Fig. 75 shows a very small nose,the vomer is deflected to the left below, and at about one-third of the way up it takes a decided turn to the right. Inthe examination of the turbinated bones the right inferiorbone is very large, the left very small, while the reverse isthe case in the two upper bones. Fig. 76 also shows stig-mata of degeneracy in the nasal cavities. Here the vomer isabout straight, while the turbinated bones upon both sides THE HEAD, FACE, JAWS AND TEETH 261 are so large that they fill the cavities; the
