This groove has a complex origin and complex function. But, in a general sense, it plays an important role in determining the shape of the nose. Like other bony structures, the sulcus can undergo changes throughout life, and its shape can vary depending on facial structure and other factors. As a result, the treatment of inflammatory diseases of this groove requires careful consideration of each case on an individual basis.
